Hearing Lalisa's words, Eunbi was enraged. Her palms turned into a tight fist.
Her nails were digging in her skin, but she can't feel the pain.
She put her hands on her lap to avoid others see her hands. She was trying to maintain her composure.
'This bi*ch. Did she think that behaving like this, she could insult me? Does she consider herself as an Empress? Hah. In your dreams. I deserve to be the Empress. And I will be.' she laughed inwardly.
Lalisa saw the change in Eunbi's expression and raised her brows.
Before Eunbi could say anything, Sandara who was enraged listening to Lalisa's words, shouted at Lalisa.
"Do you think that you deserve to be served by Head Sojin. She served the late Emperor and she was also the personal nanny of Jeongguk. Not everyone can be served by her."
"She is not just any servant. She was in service of the late Emperor and he treated her like her sister."
"And if Eunbi cannot be served by head Sojin then you're not worthy either. Don't fly in the air just because Jeongguk was showing his kindness toward you. Don't think that you deserve to be the Empress. You're nothing if you hadn't married into the Jeong family. "
Sandara didn't control her nasty mouth and spoke to her heart content. She even forgot that they were in public.
But now the bullet has been fired from the gun. The already said words cannot be taken back.
So she held her head high, pretending to be self-righteous.
When Jeongguk heard his mother's coarse words, he was outraged.
He never saw his mother behaving so crude and uncultured.
He looked at Sandara and wanted to speak when Lalisa casually picked up a glass of water.
Everyone turned to look at her to see her reaction. Even Jeongguk could not help but see her expressions.
But surprisingly she was very calm and composed. Her hands were folded around her chest in a domineering manner.
She was not the same Lalisa who would tremble in front of Sandara and always respected her unconditionally.
Right now everyone could see the change in Lalisa's attitude.
Her face was the same but the fierceness in her eyes and her expressions were not hers.
It's like she has been possessed.
Lalisa's face was dark and eyes were fierce and determined. She looked at Sandara.
Seeing the piercing gaze of Lalisa and her fierce expression, Sandara was flustered a bit.
But she met Lalisa's gaze bravely.
'She was the Empress Dowager. How could she lose against a poor girl who does not belong to any royal background.'
Lalisa casually took a sip from the glass of water that was in her hand and smiled faintly at Sandara.
"If I don't deserve to be an Empress, then who does? Eunbi? If you think that she deserves to be the Empress, then you should make her one. I don't mind." she said as she shrugged her shoulders.
Sandara looked at Lalisa's nonchalant behavior confusingly.
"But by making Eunbi an Empress, does that mean you're defying the late Emperor's orders? Are you implying that you will not accept late Emperor's orders and will do as you wish."
She said straightforwardly.
Now she has no feelings towards this woman, She doesn't hesitate a bit to speak against those who do not let her live peacefully.
Lisa does not like to go around the bushes while speaking.
Her business skills were not in vain. She knows how to speak, negotiate and make the deal beneficial for herself.
Her speaking and negotiating skills were amazing. Without these skills, one cannot be settled in business for long.
She knows when and where to hit on the nail so that she could get maximum profit.
Though she didn't start this argument, but it doesn't mean she would sit silently and let others trample over her.
Seeing Lalisa's behavior everyone was shocked.
No one can speak to Sandara in this way but she was arguing her, no, not arguing her. But in fact, blaming her for defying Emperor's order.
Even Jeongguk was stunned hearing her words and seeing her dangerous aura.
Then Lalisa turned to Jeongguk and asked, "Am I wrong in this? Does the Empress does not deserve to be served by Aunt Sojin. If not that I don't mind, but if yes, then why don't the Empress given her right till now? Is the royal family a joke that doesn't even follow the rules?" she asked in a fit of anger.
She was slightly angered seeing their unfair behavior towards Lalisa. Though she wasn't here for revenge, but now she was in her body.
So how could she see them depriving her of her damn rights.
Besides these noodles were tasty, how great it would be if she gets to eat them every day?
Author: " - _-"
Jeongguk was flabbergasted by her sudden question. But he answered her, "Yes. You're the Empress and it's your right to be served by her. And NOBODY can take your right from you." he said eyeing Sandara and Eunbi.
Seeing Jeongguk's behavior, Sandara's mood has turned sour.
It was her birthday but nothing was going according to her. She was annoyed but cannot even slap this bi*ch here in public.
So she just grunted in dissatisfaction and started eating.
Jeongguk then looked at Lalisa, signaling her to eat.
She sighed in relief.
'Finally, I could eat my noodles.'
But as she looked down, she saw that noodles have become cold. She grunted slightly.
Jeongguk noticed her expression and whispered slightly, "These noodles taste good when eaten coldly. So try it."
Lalisa looked at him and smiled. Then she picked up her chopsticks and started eating happily.
Finally, she got to eat.
'In this place, we had to go through so much drama before eating. They just can't live peacefully.'
'Was there a need to keep so many wives? Can I also keep a harem? Does here women can also keep many husbands?' she wondered while eating.
'If yes, then how cool it would be. I can keep many handsome men around me. One will give me a leg massage and another will feed me grapes, and one will massage my arms. Wow. That would be fun. ' she chuckled slightly.
Jeongguk looked at her and smiled. He thought she was happy because of noodles.
But he didn't know her real thoughts.
