Chapter 252: Calling you dear?

Ying Lili applied the white powdered medicine over the bruises on Sheng Li's fingers. "They might be talking about us. What kind of wife does the Crown Prince have? Making him work in the kitchen!" Ying Lili muttered as she gently dabbed a small cotton pad on the bruises. 

"They do not have the audacity to talk behind my back. I can do anything I want to," Sheng Li asserted. Ying Lili lifted her eyes.

"They do talk behind your back. I think they might have even noticed us fighting," Ying Lili softly said and put the cotton pad inside the wooden first-aid box. 

"I told you to fight with me in the chamber, but you were so angry that you wanted to fight in front of everyone," asserted Sheng Li. 

"Then you should have taken me here," Ying Lili stated. 

"But if I had done that then, I am afraid, I would have been thrown out of the Palace by your hands," proclaimed Sheng Li and slightly laughed.
