Chapter 158 - Can I also keep a harem? (1/2)

Hearing Zhao Ming's words, Xiao Li 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.

Zhao Ming saw the change in Xiao Li's expression and raised her brows.

Before Xiao Li could say anything, Wen Xu who was enraged listening to Zhao Ming's words, shouted at Zhao Ming.

” Do you think that you deserve to be served by Head Dan. She served the late Emperor and she was also the personal nanny of Ji Cheng. 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 Xiao Li cannot be served by head Dan then you're not worthy either. Don't fly in the air just because Ji Cheng 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 Ji family. ”

Wen Xu 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 Ji Cheng heard his mother's coarse words, he was outraged.

He never saw his mother behaving so crude and uncultured.

He looked at Wen Xu and wanted to speak when Zhao Ming casually picked up a glass of water.

Everyone turned to look at her to see her reaction. Even Ji Cheng 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 Zhao Ming who would tremble in front of Wen Xu and always respected her unconditionally.

Right now everyone could see the change in Zhao Ming'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.

Zhao Ming's face was dark and eyes were fierce and determined. She looked at Wen Xu.

Seeing the piercing gaze of Zhao Ming and her fierce expression, Wen Xu was flustered a bit.

But she met Zhao Ming's gaze bravely.

' She was the Empress Dowager. How could she lose against a poor girl who does not belong to any royal background.'

Zhao Ming casually took a sip from the glass of water that was in her hand and smiled faintly at Wen Xu.

” If I don't deserve to be an Empress, then who does? Xiao Li? 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.

Wen Xu looked at Zhao Ming's nonchalant behavior confusingly.

” But by making Xiao Li 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.
