Chapter 330 - What does she want to say about Tao Qiu? (1/2)

Zhao Ming looked at Xiao Li with complicated expressions when she heard her words.

Zhao Ming furrowed her brows and said to Xiao Li in a low voice which was enough to hear by everyone, ” Xiao Li, it's not good for us to talk about it here. Let's not drag this. We should eat something, after all, it's a welcome feast for Brother Wen.”

She tried to leave the topic behind and wanted to start the feast.

Zhao Ming seemed like she did not want to talk and was trying to avoid talking about it. Her expressions were troubled as she was hesitating to say something.

Xiao Li frowned when she heard her words.

' What did she mean by that ' it's not good if we talk here? Then why the hell did you start this topic?'

She clenched her fists as she was getting sure that Zhao Ming was making excuses and had nothing important to say.

So she urged her more and said with a forced smile, ” Sister, Brother Wen is our family. You don't need to be so formal with him. You can speak, if you have something to talk to me.”

You don't need to keep it inside otherwise how will I know what is going in your heart?”

Xiao Li looked at Zhao Ming and raised her brows. She was getting annoyed by Zhao Ming but she can't do anything at this moment.

She wanted to show Ji Cheng that Zhao Ming is just pretending and has nothing to say.

She has to handle Zhao Ming herself because Wen Xu is not here at the moment and Ji Cheng is also taking Zhao Ming's side.

Zhao Ming was doing whatever she wanted to do because she thinks that nobody is here to stop her. But she wanted to see if she could still behave this way after Wen Xu comes back.

Zhao Ming looked at Xiao Li and pursed her lips. It's not that she does not have anything to say, but she was waiting for Xiao Li to urge her to say this.

So that she won't blame her later for picking this topic during the feast.

She wanted to show her that, ' she was not planning to speak but she forced her. It's not her fault.'

Now Zhao Ming was enjoying the game that Xiao Li has started. Who asked her to provoke her?

Zhao Ming took a deep breath and said, ” If you insist, then I would speak.” she shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

” Xiao Li, I want you to teach your servants properly. They do not have discipline and do not respect their master and breach the line that they should not cross. They are becoming too wild and unstrained these days” Zhao Ming looked at Xiao Li seriously.

Ji Cheng, who was listening to Zhao Ming's words, squinted his eyes to read her mind.

Wen Ru was also seriously listening to her words as well. Though he does not know what she was talking about, it must not be a little thing that she decided to talk about this matter at this moment.

Xiao Li's expressions darkened hearing her words. What was she trying to say?

Xiao Li did not expect that she would talk about Hao Mei's issue here. This is the welcome feast for Wen Ru and she is raising this issue here as well.

Xiao Li was humiliated in the afternoon already. But now she was trying to humiliate her in front of Wen Ru as well.

Xiao Li looked at Zhao Ming and took a deep breath. Her face has been flushed red due to embarrassment.

” Sister, are you still talking about Hao Mei? I know it's my fault for not teaching her properly, but I never knew that she does that behind my back.” she bit her lower lip and looked at Zhao Ming with wronged expressions.

She wanted to let Ji Cheng see how petty Zhao Ming is and that she isn't forgetting about the incident that has already been resolved.

” All I know was that she was a nice girl who has always taken care of me and she was not afraid of hard work. But still, I didn't say anything when you decided to kick her out because it's your decision. I trust you and knew that you won't abuse your power like this ”

” You're the Empress, so you can do anything. What can I do? Even though she was very dear to me, if she had done wrong, then she deserves the punishment. I didn't say anything about your decision. You say what can I do about this matter? How will you feel at ease?” her lips quivered as if Zhao Ming had wronged her.

Xiao Li spoke as her eyes became misty and tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't let the tears flow out as she wiped them from the corner of her eyes.

Zhao Ming looked at her with interest seeing the way Xiao Li was doing her best to turn the situation and pretends to be a victim.

But poor she doesn't know that this time, she has a bigger bomb in her hands.

” I didn't say that I was talking about Hao Mei.” Zhao Ming simply said as she took a sip of her tea that the servant had served a while ago.

Xiao Li stopped in her drama and looked at her with a perplexed expression.
