When Zhao Ming heard Wen Xu's words, she turned to look at her. Her face was void of any expressions, her aura became cold. The girl who was crying loudly just a few minutes back, ow turned into some another person. Everyone got confused seeing the transformation in her.
She looked like someone who got possessed.
Zhao Ming looked coldly at Wen Xu, her arms around her chest in a domineering posture.
She looked at the Empress Dowager and said in a distant tone, " I am sorry for clinging on to you just now. As you know that I woke up from the coma the last night. I was not on my right mind and I think of you as my mother due to hallucinations. That was the reason for my 'crude' behavior. But don't worry, this will not happen again."
" I will not treat you as my mother anymore. You are my' Mother in law' and the Empress Dowager, I will not forget this thing again." she said with a cold and sarcastic smile on her face.
The people around their felt shivers run through their spines. Though she said with a smile but she looked very dangerous.
Wen Xu looked at her with wide eyes. It will not be wrong to say, that she felt touched when she cried while clinging to her calling her mother. Her son never have this kind of intimate relationship with her. Seeing her desperate crying she felt touched, but the old hatred doesn't go easily. She saw what she wanted to see.
So her crying also looked like a drama to her.
But now when she heard Zhao Ming's cold and distant tone, her anger fumed. She felt the sarcasm in her tone. But she cannot refute her words, because technically she didn't say anything wrong. Instead, it was her who pushed her forcefully.
She looked at Zhao Ming, wanted to scold her but words cannot make their way out.
" You... Okay. Just remember what you said today. Never forget that I am the Empress Dowager. Don't you dare, treat me casually again. I am not done with you for treating Xiao Li like this. I am sparing you today because you're sick. But don't think I will not show you, your place." she said while pointing her finger at Xiao Li in anger.
All the servants and guards scared seeing this scene. They thought that the Empress will now be scared because the Empress dowager will not leave her. They know that how Empress Dowager holds grudges.
They subconsciously turned to look at Zhao Ming. Even Ji cheng also turned to look at her, because he knows how much she wanted the acknowledgment of his mother. She always tries her best not to anger his mother. But she just likes to humiliate her and scold her, so she does this without any reason.
But to everyone's surprise, she stood there with a mocking smile on her face. The light was shining on her from behind, making a hollow behind her back. With the reflection of the sunlight, her smile looks more bright. She was beaming with confidence.
She looked at Wen Xu and said, " Empress Dowager, please go and take some rest. You must be tired of all this drama. At your age, you should avoid getting angry. It increases your blood pressure and this will lead to serious health problems and sometimes..." She didn't complete her next word. But everyone understood that she wanted to say, ' sometimes causes death'.
Instead, she dramatically extended the last part of the sentence and after leaving words halfway, she exaggeratingly covered her mouth in horror.
When Wen Xu heard Zhao Ming's words, her blood was boiling with anger. She thought this girl is cursing her to die. She looked at Zhao Ming in anger and stuck with words, " You... You.." she looked at her in disbelief.
She was so frustrated when she saw Zhao Ming smiling at her innocently. She was at loss for words.
She was annoyed, she decided to drop this conversation here on account that she is sick. Arguing with a sick person is like hitting your head on the wall.
She turned to leave and her two maids followed her when she heard Zhao Ming's voice,
" Mother, where are you going? The way to your chamber is this way."
When she heard her words, she turned to look at her and saw Zhao Ming pointing towards another side. She looked in that direction and her chamber was indeed on that side. She then turned to look at the direction where she turned and her expression became ugly. The direction she chose to go was the direction towards Zhao Ming's Chamber.
She was so annoyed that she chose the wrong direction. And that too, towards Zhao Ming's Chamber.
She turned and saw the mocking smile on Zhao Ming's face, her expression became ugly with anger and frustration. Without saying a word, she went in her Chamber's direction.
While walking she reminded herself to be calm. ' I am the elder. I should be wise. I will show her, her place after she recovers. She just turned stupid because she lost her memories. She will go back to her normal self. '
These same words kept playing in her mind. It's like she was chanting a mantra to calm her nerves.
She thought, ' This girl will kill me with anger if this continues'. She stomped her foot while walking.
The two maids that were following her, got scared of her abrupt behavior. But silently followed her.
