Xiaoming went to see his mother and found her taking the evening tea. He bowed to her before taking a seat. Zhu Liling asked the servant to brew tea for the King as well.
Zhu Liling placed the cup on the saucer and asked Xiaoming why he came to her manor despite knowing the fact that she didn't want to see him.
"To check if Mother isn't doing something wrong," Xiaoming remarked. The tea server had placed the teacup before Xiaoming on the table and stepped back.
Zhu Liling frowned to hear his remark and asked him to drink the tea.
Xiaoming sipped the chrysanthemum tea and gently placed the cup on the table.
"The King should not speak something baseless against me," Zhu Liling warned him.
Xiaoming chuckled to hear his mother's statement. "I would not have said such a big thing if I had no surety," he affirmed and put his hand inside his inner pocket.
