Chapter 347 - You should think before speaking. (1/2)

Xiao Li was perplexed when she heard Zhao Ming's words. Her reaction made her startled because now Zhao Ming also has powers and she started threatening her with her powers already.

Xiao Li looked at Zhao Ming with shocked expressions. She frowned and said, ” Sister, what are you saying? You will punish me if such rumors spread in the future? Aren't you being too unreasonable?”

Xiao Li couldn't control her frustration and raised her voice without even realizing it. She forgot about her manners and the white lotus kind of image that she had created with time.

' This Zhao Ming is increasing my blood pressure. How I wish I could strangle her at this moment.' she gritted her teeth as she glared at Zhao Ming.

She felt that Zhao Ming was getting ahead of herself. Now she started to talk back to her in front of everyone just because she has Ji Cheng's support so she can do anything?.

Just because Empress Dowager is not in the palace, she can do anything?

Zhao Ming looked at Xiao Li and snickered. She said a few words and she couldn't control her anger?

Did she forget that elegant ladies shouldn't raise their voices like this?

Before she could reply to Xiao Li for her annoying words, she heard Ji Cheng's voice.

Ji Cheng, who was looking at the scene unfolding in front of him from afar, could not take it anymore.

” Consort Xiao Li, why are you shouting like a shrew? Is this kind of behavior suits the head consort? Shouldn't you look after your image in public? All the servants are watching your drama, is this how you should behave?” he reprimanded Xiao Li as he stood beside Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming was surprised to see Ji Cheng coming as he casually stood beside her. She looked at him and his handsome face which was looking more charming as he reprimanded Xiao Li.

He was standing so close that their shoulders brushed against each other.

She pursed her lips as she looked at Ji Cheng with slight worry in her eyes.

' Did he hear everything? Does he think that I have something going on with Wen Ru as well?'

Xiao Li pursed her lips as she looked at Ji Cheng with wronged expressions. Her eyes welled up as she felt angry and wronged at the same time.

It was Zhao Ming who was in the wrong and was seducing Wen Ru. He heard everything but rather than shouting at Zhao Ming, he was yelling at her.

' Why can't he see how characterless this Zhao Ming is? Why is he supporting her even if she is wrong?' she bit her lower lip as she felt that Ji Cheng is being too biased towards Zhao Ming.

” I apologize for my rude behavior. But I got agitated when I heard Sister making allegations about me. I was just joking but she said that I am spreading rumors and spoiling her reputation. I didn't say anything wrong.” she bit her lips as she tried to look vulnerable.

Zhao Ming exhaled lightly as she got used to her drama. Ji Cheng looked at her from the side when he heard her sigh.

” I just said that brother Wen is sacrificing his rest because Sister wants to go out. There is nothing wrong with what I said. But Sister was blaming me for creating rumors about her and brother Wen and said that she will punish me if something happened in the future.” her lips quivered as she said her words.

Zhao Ming looked at Xiao Li who was about to cry. Her head started hurting seeing her getting started again.

' Don't she feel tired by all this crying? My eyes get swollen when I cry for one time and she can start crying anytime.'

Wen Ru was getting annoyed seeing the drama that Xiao Li was creating. She has made an issue out of nothing.

This time he has seen how Xiao Li manipulates the situation. Her words were indeed confusing and easy to misunderstand.

But she is denying that she didn't do anything and was blaming Zhao Ming that she was threatening to punish her if she said anything.
