"Ms. Han." Xia Qianqian pulled Xia Shanshan forward, "We are here to apologize."
Han Yuqing asked in confusion: "Miss Xia, what does this mean?"
"During the dance competition today, Miss Han fell down. It wasn't because Miss Han's dancing skills were not good enough, but someone threw soybeans and Miss Han stepped on them." Xia Qianqian said, pointing at Xia Shanshan, "That person was her."
Han Yuqing and Mrs. Gu were both shocked. Han Yuqing asked, "Isn't this person your cousin?"
"Yes, she is the daughter of my second uncle."
"Then why are you accusing her?" Han Yuqing found it incredible. The younger sister helped the older sister win the game, and the older sister still wanted to accuse the younger sister of doing something bad
Xia Qianqian said seriously, "When there is a competition, there are winners and losers. To be honest, I came to participate in the competition for the five taels of silver. But I want a fair competition. Today, she took action privately, causing Miss Han to injure her foot and making people laugh. I condoned her election and I feel uneasy. I brought her here to apologize."
Han Yuqing and Madam Gu looked at each other. Madam Gu asked, "You guys stole the role of Jade Girl like this, and you want to let it go after you apologize verbally?"
"I am willing to give up my position as a jade maiden." Xia Qianqian said with a pained heart. The cooked duck flew away, and her five taels of silver...
Mrs. Gu looked at Xia Qianqian in surprise.
Xia Qianqian held her head high and chest out. Although she was thin, she exuded the magnanimity of a gentleman.
Mrs. Gu thought to herself: How could a country girl like her have such integrity
Rui Er said happily: "Miss, please agree to it."
Han Yuqing hesitated. First, her foot was injured, and she would have to stand for a long time during the sacrifice tomorrow. She didn't know if she could hold on. Second, she really gave up today. Xia Qianqian's dance was indeed outstanding. Especially the song she sang, which was very beautiful.
"Miss, please speak quickly!" Rui'er urged.
"Miss Han, my sister has been living a wild life in the countryside and has no sense of propriety. I apologize on her behalf, and I hope you will be merciful and not send her to the authorities." Xia Qianqian lowered her noble head.
Xia Shanshan kept her head down from beginning to end and dared not say a word.
It was all Xia Qianqian's fault. If she hadn't told the truth, no one would have known about it. She had to come to Han Yuqing and even gave up her position as a jade girl. Was she stupid? It would be fine if she was stupid, but she also implicated her!
"Miss Xia is very sincere. I am only slightly injured. There is no need to send the official to prison." Han Yuqing felt mixed emotions, but he did not have the confidence to take the position of Jade Maiden immediately. He said, "The Jade Maiden is chosen by the priests, not by you guys just pushing each other around."
"I'll go talk to the priest." Xia Qianqian immediately turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait." Madam Gu stopped her, "Are you really willing to give up your position as a jade maiden?"
Xia Qianqian said: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't come here."
Madam Gu nodded. Xia Qianqian could keep this to herself. However, she felt more sorry for her niece. If Yuqing could be worshipped together with Changsheng, wouldn't it confirm the title of "Golden Boy and Jade Girl"
Han Yuqing was still hesitating, and Mrs. Gu whispered, "Yuqing, take it!"
"I… "
"Yuqing, don't hesitate. I've said it before, how could she fall down while dancing? It must have been her sister who did it. The position of Jade Girl was originally yours, so hurry up and agree to it."
"Okay." Han Yuqing gritted his teeth and was about to agree when a clear voice came from behind him.
"What an interesting story. I didn't expect there is such a noble woman in Pingning Town."
