I woke up as the Villainous Empress
Chapter 43

43 Die and Go Back!!

” My lady, here is your breakfast,” Xiaowei said happily as she placed a tray, full of various dishes, in front of Yang Ning.

Generally, Yang Ning wasn’t allowed to have the same dishes to eat as the other members of the household and was given only the leftovers of the last night for breakfast.

It was the doing of the Senior Maid. Since she was the Head Maid and had the powers to supervise the kitchen staff, she had restricted them to make individual portions for Yang Ning as it was a waste of ingredients, according to her.

Xiaowei used to feel sorry for her lady. She was the eldest daughter of the Yang Household after all, how can she be treated worse than a Head maid?

Head Maid is also a maid after all. How can she mistreat her Master?

She once even complained about the atrocities of the Head Maid to the Mistress of the Household, Chang Ah.

However, the latter did not do anything and dissipated the complaints by saying that she does not want to involve herself in an unnecessary dispute between the maids.

When it was never a petty dispute between the maids but the Head Maid mistreated the lady of the Household, Yang Ning.

In the end, Xiaowei’s pleas fell on the deaf ears and it only brought her more trouble while serving Yang Ning.

.....

Thanks to the Head Maid, all the maids in the household went against her and became her enemies to please the Head Maid.

Xiaowei was also a maid just like them, but they treated her as an outsider and bullied her whenever she stepped out of the Chamber to get something or do anything for Yang Ning.

Not only that, following the Head Maid’s rude attitude towards Yang Ning, they also started to look down on her by ignoring her commands or passing by her without greeting her first.

It was nothing less than a living hell.

However, after the Head Maid was punished and Yang Ning was proven to be right in front of the Lord, the other maids in the household were now treating her and Yang Ning differently.

When she went to the kitchen to get breakfast for Yang Ning, a maid from the kitchen staff walked up to her and handed her a tray that had more than 7 dishes placed on it.

” Xiaowei, you came here to get Lady Yang Ning’s breakfast, right? Here it is. I have personally cooked all the dishes. Do tell her about it.” She smiled as she nudged Xiaowei meaningfully.

Yang Ning’s status has always been degrading in the household. However, the way she stood against the Head Maid and got her punished was impeccable and amazing.

If she can get the personal maid of the Mistress punished, then it means that the Lord still gives weight to her words and she is not worthless.

That’s why all the maids were trying to put their best impression in front of Yang Ning so that she would not do the same to them and not punish them for their rude behavior in the past.

She is going to be the Future Crown Princess after all. How can they not serve her well and miss the opportunity to come into her good books?

While Xiaowei was elated to see the change in behavior of the maids and the household staff, Yang Ning wasn’t as elated to see the various mouth-watering dishes in front of her.

“Miss, why aren’t you eating anything? Do you feel unwell somewhere?” Xiaowei asked worriedly to see the pale and dull complexion of Yang Ning.

Yang Ning heaved a heavy sigh when she heard Xiaowei’s words and looked up at her with her soulless eyes.

She stared at her for a few seconds as if wanting to say something. ” Ah! Let it be. You can never understand the turmoil that is going inside me.” Yang Ning shook her head and waved her hand at Xiaowei to leave her alone.

Xiaowei stared at her in confusion but eventually left the Chamber, leaving Yang Ning in the room alone.

After Xiaowei left, Yang Ning pushed the breakfast table away and fell flat on the floor while thinking about a way to get out of this complicated situation.

” How can it be possible? I thought I would wake up in my world if I slept through the whole night. However, I am still here!”

” Is this not a dream? But it cannot be real either. It’s a fucking novel world after all.” Yang Ning groaned as she tried to make sense of this situation.

It’s too real to be a novel world. Because people here are not just the novel characters but REAL PEOPLE.

” Fang Li, Think about a way to get out of this novel world. Otherwise, at the end of the novel, you will be executed by the hands of the Handsome Crown Prince.”

” We cannot let that happen. You cannot die in this world, not as a miserable Villainous Empress at the least.” Yang Ning bit her nails nervously as tried to brainstorm an idea to get out of here.

She likes Xiaowei but not enough to sacrifice everything just to stay here. Even though she almost lost everything in her world, her reputation and career, her family is still out there, waiting for her to come back home.

She needs to replace a way to go back. ANYHOW!

While she was crawling on the wooden floor like a caterpillar and throwing tantrums like an annoying kid, a realization hit her when she almost banged her head against the sharp edge of the table.

“AHH! OH, YESS! WHY HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS?” Her eyes grew bigger in excitement as she covered her mouth in disbelief that she finally cracked the most difficult puzzle of her life.

” If the end of the novel means the death of Yang Ning, wouldn’t I return to my world if I die in this world? OH, SHIT!! IT’S SO SIMPLE YET I COULDN’T THINK OF IT UNTIL NOW.”

She was so proud of herself and was wondering how to execute this idea when she realized that for that, she will have to DIE in this world.

It’s not like her body is made of silicon and it will not hurt her if she jumped out of the window or tried to slit her throat.

It will hurt. Hurt like hell until she loses her consciousness and then her life.

What if she never returns to her world even after death in this world as well?

Such thoughts immediately toned down her excitement and she was square zero once again.

“ARGHH!! THEN WHAT SHOULD I DO? Unlike other Villainous stories, I don’t even have any special powers. How boring!” She whines while squirming on the floor like a restless snake.

” Forget it. Fang Li, if you keep thinking about it, then no outcome will come in the end.”

” So.... let’s just do what you’ve thought in the first place. LET’S NOT BE A COWARD. LET’S DIE AND GO BACK!” She took a deep breath and hyped herself to do it and not think about anything else.

Because everything will get better in the end.

She pursed her lips and looked around to replace something that could kill her in an instant without much struggle and pain.

“Should I use this?” She murmured while analyzing the sharp metal chopsticks that would hurt a lot if she stabbed herself with them.

” No way it will kill me in one go. It would be worse if I survived even after getting stabbed by it. Argh....no way.” She threw the chopsticks on the ground and turned around to look for something else that could kill her in one go.

” Ah! This one looks good.” Yang Ning pulled out the jade hairpin that she was wearing in her hair and stared at it from close.

This hairpin belongs to the late mother of Yang Ning. That’s why she is keeping it safe and secured all the years from the eyes of Chang Ah.

” Hmm. This looks good. Sharp and strong. One slit and BOOM!! BLOOD PARTY.” Yang Ning nodded while carefully looking at the sharp-edged jade hairpin.

She let out a heavy breath when she placed the sharp edge of the hairpin against her soft and slender neck.

Her hands trembled as she could feel the sharp edge of the hairpin against her soft and skinny neck. Her breathing quickened as she was struggling to keep her will strong and not back out this time.

” Go Fang Li, GO! YOU CAN DO IT.

She cheered for herself and was about to slit her throat with the hairpin when the door of the chamber was pushed open.

” Miss, I brought an aromatic tea for you. If you drink this, you will feel bet-”
