Chapter 294 - His Highness is here. (1/2)
When Zhao Ming interrupted her by calling her ' Incapable Master', Xiao Li's expressions darkened.
She was fine if she was calling herself an Incapable Master, but it is insulting when someone else calls you the same.
She stopped talking and glared at Zhao Ming with stern expressions.
She did not like the way she talked to her.
Other servants were looking at Zhao Ming in disbelief. She has called Consort Xiao Li, ” Incapable.”
When Zhao Ming realized that she did something wrong, she opens her eyes slightly and pursed her lips lightly.
….
” Sister, You.” Xiao Li looked at Zhao Ming in disbelief and looked at her with wronged expression.
” Sister, do you think that I am Incapable? I know I have many flaws but I never thought that you think of me this way. I always treat you as my sister but why can't you feel the same? Why do you have to behave so differently with me?” she said while shedding her crocodile tears.
Xiao Li was looking at Zhao Ming with broken expressions and those tears turned Zhao Ming into an accused instantly.
Everyone looked at Zhao Ming in disbelief and strangely. They thought that she was being too harsh.
Moreover, Hao Mei didn't say anything wrong to her. And she does not have to be so rude and arrogant to Consort Xiao Li.
Consort Xiao Li is even ready to take punishment in place of Hao Mei but Zhao Ming is not ready to forgive her.
Instead, she was calling her incapable.
Because of her this act, people who were outside the kitchen and a few maids in the kitchen started to whisper and it all made Zhao Ming looked bad.
They all felt Xiao Li's sincerity and felt disgusted towards Zhao Ming for abusing her power on a mere servant for her grudges.
” Empress Zhao Ming has gone too far.”
” I feel pity for Consort Xiao Li. She did nothing wrong, but she still apologized to her highness, but she doesn't even let it go. She is so heartless.”
” Poor Consort Xiao Li.”
” Consort Xiao Li is so pure and innocent. She even treats her maid so nicely. Her heart is like gold. ”
People gathered around her started to whisper about the situation and started to sympathize with Xiao Li.
….
When Zhao Ming heard these whispers, she scoffed inwardly.
' When does this Xiao Li apologized to me? How can they make these stories like this?'
' These people don't know anything and just started making stories just like that. She is crying, so she is a victim? Is that it?'
Zhao Ming looked at Xiao Li with stern expressions and was trying to calm herself down.
She took a deep breath but before she could say anything, some noises were coming from outside.
Everyone turned to look at what was happening but was shocked to see Ji Cheng coming over with Feng Ju behind.
Zhao Ming was shocked to see him here. She has never thought that he would come to the kitchen to solve women's matters.
' But did he come here to solve this matter or to complicate this one' she wondered inwardly.
Some part of her was glad that he came but she was worried as well because right now everyone thinks that she was in the wrong.
' What if in the end, everyone will blame her not this Hao Mei? Because seeing Xiao Li's acting, even she started to feel slightly subdued.'
