Chapter 300 - She was now starting an open war (1/2)
Zhao Ming wanted to discipline the servants and punishing Hao Mei was the first step towards it. If she didn't punish anyone, they will think that she was joking and will not take her seriously.
She has to show them who is the boss. Otherwise, they will always treat her like a nobody and Xiao Li will take all the respect and benefits.
She does not want to be a kind-hearted protagonist who will be pitied by everyone. She prefers to be the villain and prefers to return them what they have sown.
She is not kind. She is cruel and ruthless. And they have to deal with her until she is in this world.
Though Wen Xu looks like her late mother but there is not a single trait of her mother. That's why she doesn't care about her either.
If she treated her like her mother, then it will be insulting to her real mother who is in heaven.
Wen Xu does not deserve to be called by Mother by anyone. She feels pity for Ji Cheng sometimes.
His mother favors Xiao Li more than her son. She doesn't care about his son's happiness instead she cares only about wealth and power.
She wanted to see her reacting when she found out about the changes at the palace. What she will be like when she found out that Zhao Ming goes all the powers as the Empress back and she was not the same Zhao Ming as before.
She will not be played by her anymore.
' Now I will show her what it is to be the Empress. She has bothered Zhao Ming so much by now. Now it's my time to make her pay off.' Zhao Ming smiled slyly when she thought about Wen Xu's reactions.
If she was to live as an Empress then she wants to be a powerful one, not the weak and cowardly one. And that's exactly what she is doing now by warning these maids.
The maids quivered in fear when they heard Zhao Ming's words. They immediately nodded their head and gave her a bow in respect.
” Yes, Her Highness. We won't do anything for the next time. We will work hard and will not let you down, her highness.” they said in unison. Their bodies were slightly trembling in fear.
They have seen the cruel and ruthless side of Zhao Ming and not dare to look at her.
A smile appeared on Zhao Ming's face as she nodded at them. She was pleased by their submissive behavior.
” Long Live Empress.”
” Long Live His Majesty. ”
The maids chanted these words in happiness. This made Zhao Ming feel pleased and glad.
They were trying to show Zhao Ming their loyalty so that she doesn't punish them.
Now she was not an unwanted Empress anymore. She has powers and rights to punish anyone and has the control of harem in her hands in a true sense.
Zhao Ming felt a kind of achievement and her happiness elevated when she saw the expressions of defeat on Xiao Li's face.
Xiao Li saw the maids chanting for Zhao Ming, which made her mood turned sour and bitter. She was angered because Zhao Ming has suddenly become so sensible and powerful.
' Did she get some powers while she was in the coma? How come she became so powerful and strong?' Xiao Li squinted her eyes and glared at Zhao Ming.
Xiao Li pursed her lips tightly as she bit her lower lip. She did not say anything and just turned around and left.
She didn't even bother to greet Ji Cheng and look at him for the last time. She was so enraged that she could not stay at this place for a long time.
