Chapter 132 Mrs. Qi came to apologize
After a while, the servant came to report.
"Second Miss, there's someone outside the door saying that the wife of the Qi Mansion wants to see you."
Shi Xiaoxiao was drinking hot tea and raised her eyelids slightly when she heard the words, "No!"
No need to think, it’s Qi Yun’s mother, Mrs. Qi.
Mrs. Qi scolded her severely yesterday, and now she has the audacity to come to her.
Shi Xiaoxiao definitely wouldn't see her.
She saved Qi Hui simply because Qi Hui protected her, and she didn't want to tell Mrs. Qi anything more.
Shi Xiaoxiao never cared about people who maliciously insulted them just because of rumors outside.
"Tell her that she doesn't need to come looking for me anymore. I won't see her."
The servant nodded and went down.
Madam Qi was still waiting at the door of the Prime Minister's residence, feeling uneasy.
She knew how harshly she had scolded Shi Xiaoxiao, and had even used her as a negative example to teach her children for so many years.
She was afraid that Shi Xiaoxiao would refuse to see her.
But she had no other choice. Gou Ziyan had examined Qi Hui yesterday.
In his words, except for the person who temporarily suppressed Qi Hui's heart disease.
No one can save Qi Hui.
Wasn’t it Shi Xiaoxiao who saved Qi Hui yesterday?
Although Gou Ziyan kept asking who saved Qi Hui, she felt extremely embarrassed whenever she thought of Shi Xiaoxiao.
He kept stammering and couldn't say Shi Xiaoxiao's name.
But she never expected that Shi Xiaoxiao was actually Qin Yan's master.
The person she had always been least optimistic about turned out to be the only one who could save her daughter.
She actually offended her daughter's savior.
Waited at the door for a while.
The servant who delivered the message came back.
Mrs. Qi looked at him expectantly and nervously, "How? Can I get in?"
The servant looked at Madam Qi expressionlessly, "You can go back. Our Second Young Lady said that you don't need to come looking for her anymore. She won't see you."
Mrs. Qi felt a tightness in her heart.
Shi Xiaoxiao really didn't want to see her!
But she must see Shi Xiaoxiao, because Qi Hui's illness is a hidden danger every day.
She will never feel at ease until she is cured.
What's more, every time I see Qi Hui suffering from a relapse of heart disease and unbearable pain.
She was heartbroken.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Please tell her again. I sincerely apologize to her and hope she can forgive me. If she still doesn't want to see me, then I will wait for her here until she is willing to see me."
"This……"
The servant was in a bit of a dilemma.
Shi Xiaoxiao had already said that she didn't want to see her, but this lady still planned to wait here.
If others saw that they kept people outside, they would say something bad about the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Madam Qi looked at the servant with a pleading look, "Excuse me, I have something very important that I would like to ask your young lady for help."
Seeing that Madam Qi didn't seem to be lying, the servant nodded and said, "Let me ask the Second Young Lady for her opinion."
Seeing the villain turning around again, Mrs. Qi couldn't help but sigh deeply.
There is a heavy feeling in my heart.
After all, she was too one-sided.
She had been holding a grudge against Shi Xiaoxiao because of the rumors outside, and now Shi Xiaoxiao didn't want to see her, she deserved it.
Shi Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown when she saw the servant who delivered the message come back.
"Why, she doesn't want to leave?"
"Yes, Second Miss. She said she came to apologize to you sincerely and that she needed your help with something important. She also said...if you don't want to see her, she will wait until you are willing to see her."
Shi Xiaoxiao sneered in her heart as she listened to the servant's message.
What's so important? It's just saving Qi Hui's life.
If she hadn't gone to the Qi Mansion yesterday, she wouldn't have known that she was such a person in Mrs. Qi's eyes.
If she didn't have the ability to save Qi Hui, why would Mrs. Qi be so humble and ask for a meeting?
Xiaoyuan and the other person behind them frowned and grumbled.
Xiao Yuan: "Why is Madam Qi like this? Isn't this forcing Miss to see her? If Miss doesn't see her, who knows how outsiders will say bad things about Miss and the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Xiao Tao: "You cursed at the young lady yesterday, and now you have the nerve to come to her. You are really shameless."
Shi Xiaoxiao listened to what the two said and smiled.
"Never mind, let her in!"
If it were really seen by outsiders, there is no guarantee that they would use it to cause trouble.
The servant received the order and went out to bring Madam Qi in.
Mrs. Qi came to Shi Xiaoxiao and placed a small box in her hand on the table next to Shi Xiaoxiao.
She said awkwardly, "Miss Shi, I was wrong before. I came here today to apologize to you. I'm sorry that I misunderstood you and spoke rudely to you before. This is my little sincerity. I hope you can forgive me."
Shi Xiaoxiao's gaze fell lightly on the box beside her.
He scoffed lightly, "Madam Qi, why bother with all this? If I accept this thing from you today, I'm afraid that tomorrow I'll be seen as someone who's greedy for small profits in Madam Qi's eyes. I absolutely dare not accept it."
Madam Qi hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no, I misunderstood you before. It was my fault. I really came here to apologize to you sincerely."
Shi Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and asked, "Are you here specifically to apologize, or are you just here for your daughter's illness? Do I need to tell you?"
Madam Qi was silent for a moment, her brows lowered. "I came to you for help with my daughter's illness, but I also sincerely want to apologize to you. I also want to thank you for saving my daughter yesterday despite past grudges."
"I saved Qi Hui only because she protected me. As for you..." She looked at Mrs. Qi and sneered.
"I, a lowly concubine and a rude vixen, dare not accept Madam Qi's apology and thanks. I'd better go back. Our Prime Minister's Mansion is too small to accommodate a giant like you."
Shi Xiaoxiao's sarcastic words made Mrs. Qi feel embarrassed, but she thought that she was the one who was wrong first.
Still, he did not refute Shi Xiaoxiao's words, but just pleaded in a low voice: "Miss Shi, I know you are angry about my behavior yesterday, and I don't expect you to forgive me, but can you save my Hui'er? She is still so young. She has never had a good day. She is tortured by illness every day. Several times, she wanted to commit suicide. It hurts my heart to see this. I beg you to save Hui'er."
As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Shi Xiaoxiao glanced at her.
It can be seen that she really loves Qi Hui, but who in this world would not love their own daughter?
But her feeling sorry for Qi Hui was her own business and had nothing to do with Shi Xiaoxiao.
She is not a saint. Although Qi Hui has always protected her, she also saved Qi Hui yesterday.
It's fair to say. There's no need to get involved with someone like Madam Qi. There's no benefit in getting involved, and you'll just get yourself into trouble.
"Why, am I the only doctor in the whole of Daqi? If all else fails, we can go to the palace and ask the Emperor to borrow an imperial physician. With Madam Qi's eloquence, are we afraid that she won't be able to persuade the Emperor?"
