Chapter 329 - Sister, you have something to talk to me? (2/2)

Also, Zhao Ming herself became so clear-headed and confident that it has become hard for her to talk to her.

She always speaks back to her and even Wen Xu couldn't control her either. She was surprised at the Banquet and the way she speaks to her these days.

She never loses a chance to make sarcastic remarks.

Now even, Ji Cheng has given her powers as well.

She is not an unwanted Empress anymore. Xiao Li was worried that she may equal scores with her if this goes on like this.

Now she has powers and Ji Cheng's trust as well. She is worried that her life will become hard if things go like this.

….

Xiao Li pursed her lips when Zhao Ming came to sit beside her. She turned to look at her and smiled forcefully.

” Sister, you have something to talk to me?” she asked Zhao Ming when she settled beside her.

” Hmm?” Zhao Ming glanced at her questioningly. She fixed her dress as she looked at Xiao Li in confusion.

” - _-”

” Didn't you say you have something to talk to me about? What is it?” Xiao Li gritted her teeth and forced the words out.

She hated it when Zhao Ming pretends to be oblivious when she knows everything.

” Oh. About that. I do have something to talk to you about. ” Zhao Ming looked at her and said seriously. The mild smile on her face making her look more enchanting under the bright lights of the palace.

The palace was brightened with lanterns everywhere. The colorful clothes draped around pillars and the flowers placed in every corner made the palace more fragrant.

Xiao Li's expressions turned dull when she heard Zhao Ming's words and curved her lips in, ' OH'.

She thought that Zhao Ming was just provoking her and that's why she came to sit between her and Ji Cheng. But what does she have to talk with me?

” What is it? ” Xiao Li tried to smile as she questioned her. But her tone was not supporting her expressions.

Ji Cheng also turned to look at Zhao Ming and waited for her response. He thought the same as Xiao Li and believed that she didn't have anything to say and separated him from Xiao Li because she was jealous.

But in reality, she truly needs to talk with Xiao Li.

” Consort Xiao Li, actually,...actually leave it. This kind of conversation is not suitable for this kind of occasion. I will talk about it later.” Zhao Ming smiled at Xiao Li as she stopped talking.

Ji Cheng frowned and asked, ” Zhao Ming, what is it? ”

” No. It's nothing. It's not suitable to talk in this feast. We should start eating. What are we waiting for? Let's start the feast ”Zhao Ming smiled like she does not want to say at this moment.

She tried to change the topic as she glanced at the servant who was standing at the side to serve tea and snacks for everyone.

They were planning to have some tea and snacks to go with them first before the actual dinner.

Wen Ru raised his brows and glanced at Xiao Li. Zhao Ming's words were indicating that something was wrong.

Xiao Li noticed Ji Cheng and Wen Ru were looking at her strangely. She glared at Zhao Ming and clutched her fists.

Zhao Ming was trying to everyone misunderstand her with her half-spoken words.

” Sister. What is it? You can say whatever you want to say. Here everyone is family, you don't need to hesitate like this.`` She urged Zhao Ming to speak.

Seeing Zhao Ming's behavior, it was evident that she was just pretending to talk to her and wanted to move Ji Cheng away.

She was just making lame excuses. But due to her strange behavior, Wen Ru and Ji Cheng were thinking that she had done something and Zhao Ming was trying to hide it by not talking in front of them.
