Chapter 589 - Are You Sure That Wen Xu Said These Words?

Zhao Ming stared at the precious beautiful ring. She has never seen such an authentic and beautiful ring. It's so colorful but it didn't reduce her charm, instead, it made it look more beautiful.

Ji Cheng was also surprised that Grandmother Shuren gave this ring to Zhao Ming. This ring is so precious and not only materialistically but it holds quite meaning to it. This ring has been given to Shuren by the late Emperor as a gift when she got married.

His mother has always told him about this ring and how she always wanted to have it but Shuren never gave this ring to anyone and always kept it with her.

He knows that Grandmother Shuren treasures this ring so much yet she gave it Zhao Ming?

" Grandmother Shuren…" Ji Cheng wanted her to take back this ring because it holds quite a meaning for her but Shuren glared at him and gestured him to shut up.

" This ring is a gift to me by your late grandfather which I am giving it to you in the present. I hope you will treasure it as much as I did." Grandmother Shuren smiled as she said to Zhao Ming.

" This ring is not just a ring but it carries the blessings from your late grandfather and me. I wish that the relationship between you two always remains harmonious and full of love, it would be lovely if you could give us grandchildren to play with." she laughed as she said her words.

Zhao Ming's expressions were tender as she heard Grandmother Shuren's words. She understood that Shuren looks cold and aloof on the surface but she is an emotional kind of person.

" I will Grandmother. I will treasure this present as much as you did."

" But Grandmother, who told you about mother's suspension and her being sent to the abandoned chamber? I remember that I never told you about it before, then how?" Ji Cheng asked as he was confused about how she found out about all the matters in the palace.

Grandmother Shuren's lips curled upwards as she glanced behind Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng's gaze darkened as he turned back only to see Feng Ju standing there with a guilty conscience.

Feng Ju had gone earlier to find Grandmother Shuren and escort her to the palace. Ji Cheng understood that she must have forced him to spill all the beans at that time.

….

" Consort Xiao Li is arriving."

When everyone was talking, a maid came and announced Xiao Li's arrival while standing at the entrance of the room.

Zhao Ming was sitting beside Grandmother Shuren and was talking with her when they heard this announcement.

After Shuren gave her permission, the door of the room opened and Xiao Li who was dressed beautifully entered the chamber and walked towards Shuren with her light and elegant steps.

Zhao Ming raised her brows as it's been days since she has seen Xiao Li.

" Greetings to Grandmother Shuren." Xiao Li elegantly bowed in front of Shuren to give her greetings.

Shuren nodded and looked at the woman who came out of nowhere.

Xiao Li pursed her lips seeing the puzzled gaze of Shuren and her expressions turned grim when she noticed that she was holding Zhao Ming's hand.

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.'
