Chapter 597 - Head Consort (1/2)

Everyone in the hall was shocked seeing the drama unfolding in front of them. In front of Shuren, Wen Xu is nothing more than a simple daughter in law. Even her status as Empress Dowager doesn't work in front of her.

Zhao Ming's lips curled up as she wondered, ' Am I going to witness my mother in law getting scolded by her mother in law? It's going to be so much fun .'

Her lips curled up just thinking about it. It's going to be so much fun. [ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces). If you are reading this elsewhere, then this novel is pirated. Support the original author, not thieves. Regards Kamlyn]

After Grandmother Shuren settled on her seat, she allowed Wen Xu to sit beside her as well. However, anyone can see how uncomfortable Wen Xu looked.

She was sitting on the edge of the seat and looked like she was ready to run away. Her expressions were slightly apprehensive and did not carry the same powerful aura.

Instead, she was sitting there like a scaredy-cat in Zhao Ming's words. Her cheeks were red from embarrassment.

Her daughters in law were sitting in front of her, while her mother in law (Grandmother Shuren) was sitting beside her. She just doesn't feel comfortable in this environment.

Zhao Ming's lips curled upwards seeing this scene.

After settling on their seats, Ji Cheng looked at everyone and said, ” Since everyone has arrived, let the celebration start. Feng Ju, start the celebration.”

After hearing Ji Cheng's words, Feng Ju nodded and signaled the dancers to start performing.

This banquet will be started by performances, greetings ceremony and in the end, the feast has been arranged for everyone.

Before Feng Ju could start the event, Shuren spoke.

” Ji Cheng, why is there an empty seat on your left? Shouldn't the head consort sit there?”

Hearing Shuren's questions everyone noticed that today Xiao Li was not sitting on the left of Ji Cheng and the chair for Head consort was empty.

Xiao Li smiled subtly hearing Shuren's question. She thought that Shuren was asking her to go and sit there.

She stood up from her seat and looked at Shuren and said, ” Thank you Grandmother for remembering me. I apologize for not taking my seat earlier, I'll go there immediately.”

Xiao Li didn't sit beside Ji Cheng earlier because she wasn't Head Consortat at the moment as she had been suspended. She wasn't pleased at first but seeing that Jia shi was not sitting there either, her mood lightened

However, after Shuren pointed out the empty seat, she thought that it's natural for her to go and sit there. Even though she is suspended, she is still the Head consort and this suspension is just temporarily.

Zhao Ming frowned and was about to say something when she heard Shuren's words which almost made her choke on her saliva.

” You? Who are you? I am talking about the head Consort, not you. Jia Shi, why aren't you sitting beside Ji Cheng? Shouldn't you sit on his left and give company to Empress up there?” Shuren ignored Xiao Li who was standing and was ready to go and sit beside Ji Cheng, instead she looked at Jia Shi who was lost in her world.

”-_-”

Xiao Li felt her ears turning crimson from embarrassment as she couldn't believe what just happened. Shuren asked her who is she? After introducing herself numerous times, she still remembers her name?

However, Jia shi barely introduced herself once and she remembered her name?

Moreover, she is asking her to go and sit beside Ji Cheng? It's her position if Shuren made Jia Shi sit beside Ji Cheng in this banquet in front of everyone, then what will people think about her?
