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

' Not talking about Hao Mei? Then about whom she was talking about? '

Before she could open her mouth, Ji Cheng asked Zhao Ming with a stern voice, ” Zhao Ming, what do you mean? Did someone else misbehave with you as well?” His voice was firm and cold.

The displeasure could be heard from his voice.

Xiao Li shivered slightly when she heard the cold voice of Ji Cheng. He was glaring at her as if she had done something grave to Zhao Ming.

Wen Ru didn't say a word and just stared at Zhao Ming. It was the first time he has seen Zhao Ming complaining like this.

Before that, she was a very calm and composed person. She never complains about others as she was warm-hearted and that's why people take her for granted.

In the past, he has seen many servants misbehaving with her but he didn't say anything because she never scolds them either.

He didn't know about Wen Xu and Xiao Li bothering her but he didn't like the way she dealt with people.

She was the Empress of the Ji Dynasty and if she cannot protect herself, then how will she protect others.

He didn't know about the whole story as to how Wen Xu was controlling her powers and without powers, she was nothing in the palace.

But seeing Zhao Ming confronting Xiao Li at this moment, he felt a different gaze in her eyes. Her eyes were much fierce than before.

She was beaming with immense courage and charm.

She had a smile on her face but he could see that her smile was forced one and she was clearly mocking at Xiao Li.

….

Zhao Ming turned to look at Ji Cheng who has asked her a question.

She glanced at Xiao Li before answering and sighed.

She behaved like she was perplexed and was hesitating about saying something. She bit her lower lip and said, ” It's nothing, Your highness. It's not a big deal. I know that it's not Consort Xiao Li's fault.”

” I am the Empress of the Ji Dynasty, so I need to keep the servants in check. Now you have given me the power, I will deal with them in my way,” she said with a smile as she looked at Ji Cheng politely.

Xiao Li's face turned red. Zhao Ming wasn't saying anything and was behaving like a high morale person but she was doing all this to show off her powers.

” Sister, what are you saying? Did someone offend you? If any of my servants have offended you, then I apologize on their behalf. But please, don't blame them for your problems with me. I don't want them to suffer because of me.” she said in a low voice.

Her voice was extremely low and gentle. She was pretending to be a great master again.

Zhao Ming smirked as she saw her head down and the same dialogues that she said in the kitchen.

' Can't she change her dialogues at least?'

” Consort Xiao Li What are you saying? When did I say that I have problems with you? And why would I be angry with you?”

” I just said that I need to look after servants' behavior because they are becoming bold and getting out of hand. If we don't control them at this moment, then I am afraid that something big will happen later.” Zhao Ming shook her head lightly in distress.

Ji Cheng frowned when he heard her words. If she was saying such big words then there must be something bothering her.

He held her arm and urged her to say her words without fearing anyone.

Zhao Ming turned to look at him and smiled lightly. This gesture of him gives her flutters in her heart.

However, she tried hard to control her smile and keep serious expressions.

After that, she turned to Xiao Li and said ” Consort Xiao Li, You haven't done anything. It's just, your maid Tao Qiu, do not know her limits. ”

Xiao Li's body stiffened when she heard Tao Qiu's name. ' What does she wants to say about Tao Qiu?' She was worried about what Zhao Ming wanted to say.

Her palms become sweaty as her lips felt dry because of nervousness.
