Chapter 293 - Incapable Master (1/2)

After talking to Hao Mei, Xiao Li turned to Zhao Ming and looked at her wronged and upset expressions, ” Sister, why are you doing this? If you're upset with me about something, you can punish me.”

” But why are you doing this with Hao Mei? She did nothing wrong. She is just a young girl who does her work diligently. Why are you taking your grudges with her? Just because she has me as her Master?”

” Is this why you're being harsh with her and giving her this punishment?” She said with wronged and upset expressions.

She looked like she cared about Hao Mei and does not mind getting punished and humiliated in her stead.

Zhao Ming was speechless again. This woman has made her speechless many times in such a short time.

She did not give her death punishment or life imprisonment but in what way this is harsh punishment?

She just demoted her from her position and asked her to serve in lotus pavilion. Does this consider as ' harsh' punishment?

She previously wanted to give her harsh punishment but was afraid to do anything serious because she was worried that it would create much trouble.

That's why she only gave her demotion and asked her to serve as her maid. She wanted to teach her how to behave to her Master.

But these people are making her into a cruel Empress who sent people in dungeon just because they did something wrong.

Or did she asked her to get whipped by stick 100 times? She considers these punishments as harsh.

But since when demoting one from its position considered to be as harsh?

And what does she mean by that Hao Mei was working diligently? If she was working diligently, then would she have punished her like this?

Since when bi*ching about someone considers to be working diligently? This Xiao Li has so many illusions.

Moreover, why the hell she would take out the grudges of Xiao Li on Hao Mei? She is just her maid, not her damn sister.

If she wants to do something, then she directly teach Xiao Li a lesson. Why would she go to such lengths just to teach Xiao Li a lesson?

'Do they all think that life is like a live drama. Why do they have to make everything so complicated and dramatic?' she sighed inwardly.

….

Zhao Ming tried to calm her nerves down and looked at Xiao Li helplessly, ” Consort Xiao Li, first of all, I don't have any grudges with you. At least not now. And if I had anything, then I won't take it on a mere servant. ”

” Because I know that punishing a mere servant will not affect you at all. So there is no use of punishing someone innocent.” She said plainly.

At this point, she was exhausted from their drama.

When Xiao Li heard Zhao Ming's words, her expressions fell. She did not like the way Zhao Ming was talking back to her.

” If I want to annoy you or take my grudges with you, then I will settle the scores with you directly. I don't need to do things behind the scenes and that too, indirectly.” She said while trying to make it as polite as possible.
