”We naturally don't want to trouble mei mei.” Although Madam Wang said she didn't want to bother Concubine Wan, the real meaning was clear. She didn't want her to keep brewing tea for her. They weren't in a good term and knew it wasn't good to give her the chance put something in the tea.
Concubine Wan understood the subtle hints but she didn't give up. ”No trouble. No trouble. Serving jie jie is what this concubine must do.” If they didn't know better, it was like Madam Wang bullying Concubine Wan to serve her all the time.
”Concubine Wan, don't worry about us. How about Concubine Wan brewing tea for Father more often? We don't really understand good tea, so it will be a waste to brew it for us. Father will certainly appreciate it more!” Yao Ling decided to throw the trouble toward Wang Luo Hai. She more or less understood that Wang Luo Hai loved tea, otherwise, this Concubine Wan wouldn't be so proud of her skill.
Concubine Wan gritted her teeth in annoyance. She knew Madam Wang would be forced to receive her tea if she kept insisting. Otherwise, she would be branded as an arrogant person and didn't appreciate Concubine Wan's effort. But this girl had to keep interfering with her idea.
If it were easy to capture Wang Luo Hai's attention with her skill every day, she wouldn't need to curry favor to the both of them. She realized she shouldn't attack them when they were together. It was her loss today.
She decided to leave with her dignity intact. ”Then, Mei mei takes a leave first.”
Without a second thought, Madam Wang and Yao Ying nodded in unison.
”Mei mei, be careful.”
”Concubine Wan, take care.”
Concubine Wan left in a huff. She snarled at Liu Li, ”You're usually very smart. This time you make me lose face!” With her personality, Concubine Wan would certainly blame another person for her inability. Liu Li knew she miscalculated so she willingly took the blame.
”This slave knows this slave's mistake.”
However, Liu Li also felt slightly wrong. Concubine Wan also didn't have the ability to prosecute the plan perfectly. How could she tell them such a sad story and compare it to her own? The other party must have been laughing because of it. However, she was just a slave. She could only close her mouth and receive the blame. This thought made Liu Li dissatisfied and she certainly would stir a trouble in the near future.
