Took away the things I discarded away.

Li Xue's eyes were sharp but her curl of mockery was keeping everything at place. Could she complain about this woman's thoughts? No, not at all! This woman was all the same as she was in the past. The only thing she could do was to make her taste her own medicine better.

Letting out a deep burdening breath, she looked at the woman and said, "Madam Li has asked me if she has taught me anything? I think I found an answer for you."

Her words paused not because she cared for the woman or did not know what to say, but because she wanted to combat the exact venom the woman had spilt in the air. "The only woman who has influenced me the most in my life since childhood is you. So, what do you think? From where did I learn all those things for which you are honouring me today?"

The intention behind those words was as clear as crystal and was intentionally made in that way to get on somebody's nerves.
