Chapter 559 - Hah. Its crazy (1/2)

Duan Yazhu pursed his lips and said, ” How..can I know about acupuncture? I didn't study that. ”

” Exactly. You can't do that. Because you didn't learn that. But I can tell what you were talking about earlier. I know about business better than you and I am telling you that you're just looting the royal treasury for your own benefit.” She said without batting an eye.

Duan Yazhu gritted his teeth upon hearing her words. How can she say something so outrageous?

” What? Your Majesty, what do you know about business? You never even touched a book then how can you tell about business?” He asked sarcastically while looking at Zhao Ming with ridicule.

She scoffed when she heard his words.

” Mr. Duan, you need to correct yourself. It's not that I didn't study, I just couldn't study. Because of the so-called norms of the society which does not allow women to study. So don't say that I didn't study because I wasn't given any choice.”

” Also, my father was not orthodox like you, that's why he has given me the education that was deprived of other women. And about business, I think His Majesty can tell if I know about it or not.”

Ji Cheng nodded as he remembered the way she uncovered Yu Kang who used to work at Wen Ru's shop.

She is good at these things better than some of his ministers.

Duan Yazhu gritted his teeth and glared at Zhao Ming as if he could burn her with his gaze.

” You are challenging the norms of society now? Your Majesty, don't forget that the whole country works because of these norms. It is true that women only belong to the kitchen and home.”

” You're also sitting here between men because you're the wife of the Emperor of the country. Otherwise, you are nothing.” He spurted as he was triggered by her words.

”Duan Yazhu how dare you talk to the Empress of the Ji Dynasty like this? Seems like you're forgetting your place. My grandfather was the one who made you head of the school, but it seems like you have forgotten to be grateful towards the royal family.”

” Because without the support of the royal family, you're nothing as well. ” Ji Cheng roared as his patience left when he heard his words.

” And what the Empress said was right. Your school only serves the noble and rich families, then why do you need so much money from the royal treasury? You just want to maintain your elite status in schools while using the royal budget in the name of education of the children.”

Duan Yazhu was surprised when he saw Ji Cheng's burst out. If not for Zhao Ming, things wouldn't have turned this way.

…..

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and stared at the men in the room who were staring at her with their questionable gazes.

They were looking down on her for not being talented but for being a woman.

” Hah. It's crazy.”

Ji Cheng was about to order Feng Ju to throw Duan Yazhu out of the room but before he could say anything, he heard Zhao Ming's chuckle
