Chapter 413 - You really dont think youre wrong, right? (1/2)

Xiao Li's lips twitched when she heard Zhao Ming's question.

” What… What are you trying to say, Sister Zhao Ming? When did I take extra money from you?” Xiao Li stuttered as she said her words.

Zhao Ming smirked as she looked at Xiao Li stuttering.

Wen Xu frowned seeing the mocking smile on Zhao Ming's face.

” Xiao Li, why are you trying to explain things to this bi*ch? Even if you have taken some extra money, it's okay. After all, your father has contributed so much in making Ji Cheng's reign stronger.”

” You're my dear daughter in law and everything in this palace is yours.” Wen Xu rubbed Xiao Li's hair lovingly as she said.

” There is nothing wrong in taking what is yours. ” Wen Xu sweetly said to Xiao Li.

Zhao Ming was dumbfounded seeing Wen Xu's over protectiveness.

' Hah. Then your life also belongs to your' dear daughter in law'. Why don't you die for her sake as well? ' Zhao Ming mocked inwardly as she felt like puking seeing their display of affection.

Xiao Li calmed down as she listened to Wen Xu's words.

” Your highness?”

The maid who was standing at the door of the Chamber was startled when she saw Ji Cheng standing there.

Hearing the squeal of the maid, everyone turned to look towards the entrance and was startled to see Ji Cheng standing there.

Wen Xu frowned when she saw his darkened expressions.

Ji Cheng's gaze was fixated on Zhao Ming as he walked towards her.

Xiao Li and Wen Xu were feeling nervous because they didn't know since how long he was standing there.

” Ji Cheng, when did you arrive?”

”Why has no one announced his arrival?” Wen Xu shouted towards the maid as she was furious that no one informed her that Ji Cheng had arrived.

” I have stopped them from doing so.” Ji Cheng said curtly as he glanced at Wen Xu with his cold gaze.

Wen Xu felt chill going through her spine seeing his chilly gaze.

Ji Cheng was standing outside the chamber for a while and was listening to their conversation.

He didn't go in because he wanted to see to what extent his mother can go behind his back.

Wen Xu has asked him to come to her chamber but she asked him to come later while she called Zhao Ming earlier.

However, Ji Cheng reached the orchid pavilion early and found out that Zhao Ming was already there.

He stopped the maid who was going to announce his arrival and stood in front of the chamber hearing their conversation.

…..

” Why did you come early?” Ji Cheng didn't even greet Wen Xu and asked Zhao Ming a question.

Zhao Ming was caught off guard as she was not expecting him to talk to her at this moment.

” Ahmm...Empress Dowager sent someone to look for me. That's why I came earlier. ”

Ji Cheng's expressions darkened when he heard Zhao Ming's words.
