Chapter 478 - 459: Death’s Melody-III
The maid was torn on what to do. While the mistress of the house was Mrs. Xie, she could not deny the leading air Li Lian had which she couldn’t refuse even though she had been the one who forced her way inside the house.
"Don’t give her. Leave," Mrs. Xie ordered, her finger pointed the door.
Li Lian pulled a sad face, "How sad. You know, dear mother. I always have loose lips when I feel sad. I am someone who always whine when tears wet my eyes and maybe I would speak what I shouldn’t by mistake," Li Lian stared at Mrs. Xie’s boiled expression and with a smile she pulled her finger underneath her eyes, "Look at that, something is about to fall from my lips."
"Fine!" Mrs. Xie said, alarmed that Li Lian would actually spill her secret. If there as a list of what Li Lian would do and what she wouldn’t, tittle tattling her secret here out to everyone must be Li Lian’s greatest pleasure and it was something Mrs. Xie could not allow.
"Show me the way to the sitting room. If I am tired I tend to whine too," Li Lian waved her hand while looking at the tips of her fingernails.
"You know the way," said Mrs. Xie with gritted teeth as she felt like her status had turned into a maid.
"Do I?" Li Lian pulled a surprise expression and while looking around the house with her eyes, her smile fell. "I only remember how cold my night was when I was driven out of this house. How my tears are uselessly shed to cry for people who doesn’t care for me, and how painful it was to be stabbed in my stomach, the shattering glasses that sliced my skin, and lying on the hospital like a corpse. Now tell me, mother. Do you think I would remember the way to the sitting room much better than this scar?"
Mrs. Xie clicked her tongue and harrumphed as she left to show her the room.
Li Lian pulled her smile again and walked two steps only to stop. She pointed her hand to the maid who was still standing near her, "Bring me a tea, a dandelion tea. Mother must have some. I remember how much she liked it."
