Kill That Transmigrator Woman - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: The Empress Dowager (4)

Right now, Wei Qingyu was so furious she wanted to tear Cui Wanwan to pieces.
Inwardly, she was screaming: System! System! Didn’t you say I had the female lead halo? Why are these people treating me like this?!

【Dear Host, the female lead halo isn’t omnipotent. If these NPCs hadn’t reacted to the color of your clothes, they would absolutely have been captivated by you, head over heels. Please don’t be discouraged, keep it up! There will definitely come a day when the evil female supporting role is crushed to death.】

The system was an emotionless ball of energy. It didn’t believe for a moment that its chosen host would fail.

After all, in this series of tasks, the original female lead could never defeat the transmigrated woman.

That was a fundamental rule.

No matter how outstanding the original female lead was, once she encountered a transmigrator, she would be reduced to nothing more than a stepping stone in the Heaven’s Chosen One’s mission.

That was predetermined fate, an unchangeable ending.

It was said that great things must endure many trials. To reach a perfect ending, of course the host would encounter setbacks along the way.

Wei Qingyu, who had been sent to the side hall, carried her anger with her the whole time as she went to change her clothes. The palace maids brought her a pink jacket.

She turned it over in her hands and inspected it a few times. Naturally, items from the palace were made of excellent fabric, soft to the touch.

But…

Wei Qingyu curled her lips, eyes full of disdain.

She looked down on such tacky clothing. She aspired to become a fairy-like figure, ethereal and refined. Naturally, her attire couldn’t be this garishly plain.

“Is there anything else?” Wei Qingyu didn’t bother showing the slightest pleasantness toward the palace maids and nannies who had driven her out of the main hall.
Her tone was stiff. “Change it.”

An older nanny, still maintaining a fairly kind and gentle demeanor, replied, “Miss, this pink outfit really complements your complexion. It will look extremely lovely on you.”

Seeing that her words, though soft, carried a firm tone, Wei Qingyu, full of suppressed rage, had no choice but to reluctantly compromise.

Those were the Empress Dowager’s people, at her current status, she couldn’t afford to offend them just yet.

Once she successfully captured the male lead’s heart and helped him ascend the throne, then she would be Empress of the Northern Lin Dynasty. At that time, let’s see who would dare cross her!

She would remember the faces of all these people today. When she rose to power in the future, she would kill them all without mercy, these lowly dogs who looked down on her!

Just a bunch of little palace maids and old nannies, right now, she was the Cui family’s eldest young lady, a master in her own right.

For a lowly servant to dare disrespect her, even ten heads wouldn’t be enough for them.

But at this moment, Wei Qingyu could only fantasize in her heart about the fates these people would suffer one day.

After changing her clothes, Wei Qingyu flicked her sleeves and strode out, preparing to reenter the palace banquet.

“What are you doing?” Wei Qingyu’s face turned cold as she looked at the group of servants blocking her way.

“The Young Lady must forgive this old servant for being discourteous. Her Majesty the Empress Dowager has given orders, since Miss Wei arrived late, there is no need for her to attend today’s palace banquet. Please rest assured, someone will deliver hot food to the side hall shortly. You won’t be left to go hungry.” The old nanny spoke with clear enunciation and measured tone.

After saying this, the group of palace maids and nannies withdrew one after another in an orderly fashion, even closing the door to the side hall behind them.

Wei Qingyu’s expression changed drastically. She hurried her steps and rushed over, yanking forcefully at the heavy palace door.

From outside came the sound of a lock being fastened. No matter how hard she struggled, it was of no use.
She slumped to the ground.

It was a long while before Wei Qingyu finally came back to her senses from her sulking. She got up and smashed everything in the hall.

Vases, porcelain, delicate ornaments, neatly trimmed potted plants, everything met a tragic end in her hands, reduced to nothing but piles of shattered fragments.

What a wretched Empress Dowager. Just an old hag clinging to her son’s throne to enjoy her high status.

Once I marry the male lead Dongfang Moxang and become Empress, the first thing I’ll do is send this damned old woman to her grave!

————

The palace banquet was not affected in the slightest by that little farce. Everyone continued eating and drinking as they pleased, waves of laughter and joy rolling on without pause.

As the banquet neared its end, the Emperor stood up, raised his wine cup, and spoke a few formal closing words, bringing the gathering to a conclusion.

As soon as the banquet ended, Ling Xun eagerly squeezed his way over to Cui Wanwan.

“Wanwan, are you still mad?” Ling Xun really had no idea how to coax a girl into a good mood.

Back then, Cui Wanwan had been easy to placate. He didn’t know when it started, but her temperament had changed drastically, now she was incredibly difficult to please.

Seeing he was still pestering her, Cui Wanwan suddenly thought of something. She gave him an annoyed glare and deliberately said, “Haven’t you noticed that your little fairy hasn’t returned since she left to change her clothes?”

Only then did Ling Xun’s face shift dramatically. He looked around and realized she really was nowhere to be seen, and instantly panicked.

He stammered, “Wanwan… I, don’t be mad anymore. A few days ago, I came across a superb piece of silvery satin. I’ll send it to the Cui Mansion tomorrow as a gift to make amends. That, um… I’ll go look for my little fairy… Wei Qingyu. It’s her first time in the palace, she must be unfamiliar with the surroundings. She’s probably lost, and it’s dark, she must be scared out of her wits. I’ll go find her first, just in case something happens.”

Cui Wanwan didn’t stop him. She simply stood there expressionless, watching Ling Xun.

Seeing she didn’t speak, Ling Xun forced a smile. “Since you’re not saying anything, I’ll take that as agreement.”

The youth’s figure quickly disappeared into the distance, clearly in a hurry, truly anxious.

After Ling Xun left, Cui Wanwan stood there motionless, like a stone statue.

A long while later, she finally let out a helpless sigh and turned away.
