Chapter 589 - Are you sure that Wen Xu said these words? (2/2)
Xiao Li glanced at Ji Cheng to introduce her to Grandmother Shuren but he turned his gaze away and looked at Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming pursed her lips trying hard to not laugh. Xiao Li came to meet Shuren when no one invited her and after coming uninvited she wants Ji Cheng to introduce her to Shuren.
' She really has thick skin.'
” Grandmother, this is Consort Xiao Li who used to be Head Consort in the past. But right now, Consort Jia shi has taken the position of Head Consort as Consort Xiao Li has been issued a red letter and has been suspended from her position.” Zhao Ming said while calmly, ' introducing' Xiao Li to Shuren.
”-_-���
Xiao Li's expressions darkened when she heard Zhao Ming's words. Was she introducing her or looking down on her?
Shuren's expressions turned dark as she looked at Xiao Li with an unpleasant gaze.
Xiao Li took a deep breath and said, ” Grandmother Shuren, I apologize for coming to greet you without any invitation. I had heard a lot about you from Mother, that's why I couldn't hold myself from coming here to greet you.”
Shuren raised her brows and asked, ” What did she say about me?”
” En?”
Xiao Li was smiling but her smile froze hearing Shuren's question. She has just said this to please her but she was not expecting her to ask this question.
She pursed her lips as she remembered what Wen Xu had told her about Grandmother Shuren in the past. Rather than good things, Wen Xu has always said bad things about Shuren. She has said that even though Shuren is concubine's daughter but she is very prideful and because the Late Emperor used to treat her as his sister, she always acts high and mighty.
There was not a single good thing that she remembers what Wen Xu has said about her.
”Erm... Mother has said that..you are very..beautiful and very intelligent. Ermm..” she couldn't list more than three good things that Wen Xu has said about her because she felt intimidated seeing Grandmother Shuren's gaze and she shut her mouth in the end.
” Haha.” Shuren laughed after Xiao Li was done with her words.
” Are you sure that Wen Xu said these words...for me?” Grandmother Shuren asked as he looked at Xiao Li with her piercing cold gaze.
Zhao Ming smirked as she watched the show from the show. Xiao Li has dug a pit for herself by buttering on Shuren.
By talking to her by now, she realized that Suren doesn't like who tries to gain someone's attention by fake buttering. And that's what Xiao Li was trying to do earlier but caught by Shuren.
” Er.. yes. She has said other things as well but because of my bad memory I couldn't remember all but I know that Grandmother Shuren is more marvelous than what Mother has described you as.” Xiao Li pursed her lips being encountered with Shuren's sharp gaze but she tried her best to keep her sanity and answered her question.
Grandmother Shuren pursed her lips and chuckled and just waved her hand to dismiss Xiao Li, indicating her to go back.
Xiao Li saw Zhao Ming grinning when Shuren asked her to go. She bit her lower lip and turned around to leave.
' Zhao Ming, just you see, I am not going to let you away like this.'
