I woke up as the Villainous Empress

44 Let’s drown to death!

” Miss, I brought an aromatic tea for you. If you drink this, you will feel bet-” Xiaowei’s eyes widened in shock when she saw Yang Ning holding her mother’s jade hairpin against her neck as if she was trying to stab the hairpin in her throat.

She stepped out of the room for a few minutes to bring an aromatic tea for her, what was she trying to do to herself while she was away?

Was....she trying to do something to herself?

Her eyes widened in shock and fear and the wooden tray that she was holding in her hands fell to the ground with a loud THUD.

As a result, the hot tea that she brought for Yang Ning also fell on the ground and some even spattered on her skirt as well.

“MY LADY! WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO DO WITH THIS HAIRPIN? YOU DIDN’T HURT YOURSELF ANYWHERE, DID YOU?” She screamed in fear as she ran towards Yang Ning and snatched away the jade hairpin from her hands in fear that she might do something to herself.

While Xiaowei was shocked and fearful about what would have happened if she hadn’t arrived in time, Yang Ning was feeling guilty and scared upon being caught by Xiaowei red-handedly.

She bit her lower lips and smiled awkwardly while avoiding eye contact with Xiaowei. “Ermm.....WHAT? WHY ARE YOU OVERREACTING ALL OF A SUDDEN?”

” WHAT CAN I DO WITH A JADE HAIRPIN? I WAS....I WAS SCRATCHING MY NECK BECAUSE I WAS FEELING SO ITCHY!!” She raised her voice at her to prove her point right so that she won’t question her anymore further.

.....

‘Attack is the best kind of defense.’

Xiaowei frowned when she heard Yang Ning’s words and was in disbelief that out of all the things, she used the sharp edge of the hairpin to scratch her neck.

” Scratch your neck? Can you scratch your neck with this? I don’t think so.” Xiaowei looked at the hairpin and wondered if Yang Ning was speaking the truth or not.

Yang Ning shook her head and smiled, ” What are you talking about? It works the best as a tool to scratch your neck. You should try it too.” She insisted Xiaowei try to put it against her neck and use it to scratch her neck.

Xiaowei immediately pushed the hairpin away from her in fear as she was scared of pointed things. The sharp edge of the hairpin was no less than a sharpened knife that could leave a scar if she did not handle it carefully. What if she mistakenly hurt herself?

Why would she use a dangerous weapon to scratch her neck?

The person using it must be insane. Well, she is not talking about her Miss but other people. OTHER PEOPLE!

Seeing Xiaowei confused and lost in her thoughts, Yang Ning sighed when she caught the sight of her damped skirt. ” What happened to your skirt?”

” Ah, this? The tea that I brought for you must have splattered on it. I will clean it later.”

” AH. I NEED TO CLEAN THE FLOOR.” Xiaowei gasped when she realized that the tea must have dirtied the floor and someone might slip on it if she did not clean it. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

” Don’t bother about it. You can do it later. First, go and put some medicine on your legs first. The tea must have been hot. Make sure to wash your legs with cold water first before putting medicine on them.” She instructed Xiaowei to put some medicine on it.

Xiaowei looked at her doubtfully, when Yang Ning said, ” Don’t worry. I was not trying to harm myself. I was simply scratching my neck. You can take the hairpin with you if you’re that suspicious. ” She said to assure her.

Xiaowei shook her head and said firmly, ” How can I not believe in My lady’s words? Of course, I believe you. Then.... I’ll take a leave.” As said this, Xiaowei left the room.....while holding the jade hairpin in her hands!!

“Hah! She said that she believes in me yet she took away the hairpin with her. What an interesting character she is.” Yang Ning chuckled and pulled the breakfast table closer to her.

Since she even took the hairpin with her, looks like it’s not her time to die yet.

” Let’s eat as much as before dying at the least.” She started putting the dishes in her mouth one by one and was mesmerized by how delicious they were.

” No matter how much I eat, I can never get enough of it.” She groaned in pleasure as she enjoyed the delicious food to her heart’s content. She thought she could only get to eat the delicious food at the Royal palace but these dishes were no less either.

How can they all be so fu*king delicious?

While controlling her diet and focussing on the competition, it has been so long since she had a proper delicious meal. But now she is having a whole feast.

” If I go back to my world, I am gonna miss the food of this world the most. It’s so delicious and organic. Muaahh!!” She exclaimed in happiness as she ate the dishes with her cheeks full of food.

Like a Hamster.

Two days passed just like that.

In the past two days, Yang Ning tried all kinds of methods to take her life as less painful as possible.

After she failed to stab herself with the sharp jade hairpin, she attempted the same with a knife that she got from the kitchen. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

Not only that, she even tried to consume the poison that she got her hands on with so much difficulty.

However, nothing worked.

Because every time Xiaowei interrupted her when she attempted some crazy stunt to take her life. She was just like a ghost in her life who never leaves by her side.

How can her timings be perfectly correct every single time?

Yang Ning let out a heavy sigh when she thought about the failed attempts. Why does it feel like her goal to return to her world seems to be drifting away from her?

Xiaowei, who was walking next to Yang Ning, noticed her sighing, ” My Lady, why are you sighing? Are you tired already?” She asked worriedly.

Since Yang Ning does not go anywhere and always stays inside her chamber, the Imperial Physician who was coming to the Household daily to give her a session of acupuncture suggested that she needs to go out and take a stroll in the fresh air.

As it was a suggestion by the Imperial Physician, even Chang Ah could not stop Yang Ning from going outside the Household for a stroll.

” Ah? Tired? Hmm....I guess so!” Yang Ning answered in a low-bored voice.

She was the least interested in taking a walk and getting well. She wants to get sick, extremely sick so that she could die and go back to her world, to her family.

People here are so strange and different from her world. She can never understand how their extremely obnoxious and conservative mind works.

The person she hates the most is Yang Luoyang. How can he treat his daughter like trash? That’s so disgusting!

She is always afraid that she will comment on something that will cause everyone to unsheathe their swords and point toward her neck.

Because it’s getting more and more difficult for her to control her emotions and keep calm in front of meanie Chang Ah who always pretends to be a sweet mother when she is not and the disgusting father of Yang Ning.

What a unique family Yang Ning has!

” Then....let’s just walk up to the lake. We will wash our feet at the lake and have some refreshments before returning to the Household. You can walk there, can you?” Xiaowei asked while pointing towards the lake that was not far away from them.

Since they do not go outside frequently, she wanted Yang Ning to visit the lake and cheer up while eating delicious street food that she never gets to try at the Yang Household.

Yang Ning’s eyes glinted when she saw the lake in front of them. A Lake? Then....isn’t it the best way to die without feeling much pain?

Finally!! She can finally go back to her world now.
