I woke up as the Villainous Empress-Chapter 33

33 Punished? Who? (VIII)

The frown on Chang Ah’s forehead deepened when she heard Yang Ning’s mysterious words.

” Yang Ning, what are you talking about? How would I know why you didn’t wear the dress that I had prepared for you to wear to the banquet?” Chang Ah was speechless at her shamelessness.

She was the one who did not wear the dress and was now pretending to be innocent in front of her father.

” I prepared that dress after putting so much effort into it yet you did not wear it and wore a plain, ordinary dress to the Banquet. Do you know what people will think about me after this thoughtless action of yours?”

” They will say that I did not pay attention to you and prepare a beautiful dress for you to wear to the Banquet bec...because I am not your biological mother. That’s why I made you wear a rag to the Banquet.” Chang Ah said in a choking voice while looking at Yang Ning with sadness and disappointment filled in her eyes.

If Yang Ning thinks that she can make Yang Luoyang go against her with her crafty words, she is wrong.

‘Because he worries about my tears more than you, his daughter.’ Chang Ah sneered inwardly while looking at Yang Ning with her teary eyes.

” Why are you crying? YOU....HOW CAN YOU MAKE YOUR MOTHER CRY? What are you trying to say? Are you accusing your mother of not providing you with a dress to your liking? Since when did you start to throw so many tantrums?” Yang Luoyang was enraged to see how Yang Ning was arguing with him and Chang Ah.

How come this girl became so gutsy all of a sudden?

.....

Yang Ning raised her brows in amusement at Yang Luoyang’s words and scoffed inwardly before turning to Chang Ah who was still sobbing miserably, ” Mother, how can you call that dress a rag? I thought it was a beautiful dress. Don’t you think so?”

Chang Ah wiped her tears and sniffled before looking up at her in puzzlement, ” Beautiful? Yang Ning, you’re the eldest daughter of the Yang Household and soon going to be the Crown Princess.”

” You should wear clothes that match up to your title and social status. You should wear more beautiful and gemstone-embedded extravagant dresses. That dull dress does not compliment your status nor does it look good on you.”

” I can understand that you miss your mother and wanted to wear her dress on your special day. However, you should not have worn it to the Royal Banquet.” Chang Ah said.

Although Yang Ning did not say it, she understood why she chose to wear that cheap dress to the Banquet. It must belong to her mother who passed away when she was young. That’s why she was ready to be scolded by Yang Luoyang but did not agree to change her dress.

” You are going to be the Future Crown Princess. You should know it better. Even if you wanted to rebel against your father, you should not have worn it to the Royal Banquet. Did you know how embarrassing and humiliating it was for our family? Everyone was not only looking down on you but our family and especially at your father.”

” I am not saying all this because this action of yours has hurt me. I am saying all this because of your Father. This careless action of yours could have caused a big problem for your father.” Chang Ah scolded her and told her off as an adult.

Yang Luoyang also agreed to Chang Ah’s words and nodded in agreement. Yang Ning was going out of their hands and needed to be taught a good lesson.

How dare she put the relationship between two families in danger because of her mother’s dress?

Chang Ah was pleased to see Yang Ning quiet and wasn’t uttering a single word.

That’s it.

This is what she wanted all along. She finally acknowledged her defeat. While Chang Ah was scolding her, Yang Ning was fighting with her exhaustion.

‘Why is my head hurting again?’ Yang Ning squinted her eyes and fidgeted on her chair as she was having a hard time sitting upright on the chair. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

This won’t do. This drama is going on for longer than she had expected.

If she doesn’t say anything now, this will continue for an extra hour. She cannot sit still for that long.

Not at all.

” Mother, if you think that the dress I wore to the Royal Banquet does not look good on me and does not match our familial status, then why did you give me that dress on my 20th birthday, this year?” Yang Ning finally broke her patience and counter-attacked Chang Ah’s so-called motherly concern.

Chang Ah: “.....”

“Ah? I...I gifted you that dress?”
