"What was that during the morning tea session?" Jia Li scolded Xianwu as soon as they left the main hall. "I told you not to speak like that. Don't you know you make people angry with that tone of yours?" She halted in the corridor and turned to him.
"Oldie started this," Xianwu said.
"Don't call her oldie. If someone hears you and tells Grandmother, then you won't leave her clutches until you get punished. Also, you made all of my uncles angry. Is this the way you'll work against the enemies?" Jia Li frowned at him.
"I thought it was the right way to treat them," Xianwu replied.
"You are new to the palace. My Grandmother is strict. She might lock you in a room to make you teach the manners. So, you should better not annoy her, at least," Jia Li advised him.
"I understand," Xianwu said. "I'll annoy her more from now onward," he proclaimed with a smile.
"What?" Jia Li exclaimed and watched him walk past her.
