Honored Lady Du pondered over and over before she finally realized it.
That time by the Taiye Pool, when she encountered Xia Jieyu and the Emperor, Honored Lady Du had approached them and exchanged a few sharp words with Xia Jieyu.
She must have offended Xia Jieyu then. That must be why Xia Jieyu had schemed against her behind her back.
So, that was why Honored Lady Du had come with gifts to offer an apology.
And now, before she even started speaking, she began to cry and sob.
"Xia Jieyu, I didn't mean it back then. I beg for your magnanimity to forgive my reckless words!"
Xia Ruqing looked at her, startled and a bit bewildered. Which time was she talking about?
Zi Yue quickly whispered something in her ear.
Xia Ruqing finally remembered the incident by the Taiye Pool. Realization dawned on her.
"So much time has passed, I had truly forgotten. Honored Lady Du, you shouldn't take it to heart," she said.
