C5 His humiliation

When Xie Poyan received the maid dress that Gu Wujing had ordered someone to deliver, his fingertips couldn't help but tremble a little.

It wasn't because she felt that he had insulted her identity, but because Gu Wujing's ice-cold gaze and tone just now had caused her heart to ache uncontrollably.

After changing clothes, Xie Poyan pulled up his hair in a random bun. Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Xie Poyan knew very clearly that the jade-green stone was in Gu Wujing's hands, and right now, she had no other choice.

Fortunately, someone from the palace had already sent a message saying that she would be staying at the Xie Estate for a few more days. He could only hope that Gu Wujing would keep his promise after five days.

Not long after she had changed her clothes, someone came to take her to Gu Wujing's study.

In the study room, Gu Wujing was reading the imperial reports that had been presented by the ministers. These reports that were supposed to appear in the imperial study were now in Gu Wujing's hands.

"Regent, they have arrived." The servant that led Xie Poyan stood respectfully at the study door as he spoke.

"Let her in." Gu Wujing's tone was cold.

Xie Poyan took a deep breath, and just as he was about to enter the imperial study, he met Gu Wujing's gaze.

Cold and mocking!

Putting down the imperial report in his hand, Gu Wujing stood up somewhat arrogantly as he walked in front of Xie Poyan. He looked him up and down before sneering, "I didn't expect that after Esteemed Empress Dowager changed into the official servant's clothes, she actually looked a lot more pleasing to the eye."

"Gu Wujing, you ?" His disdainful tone made a hint of anger surface on Xie Poyan's face, but he quickly held it back and shifted his gaze away from Gu Wujing.

"What happened to Gu?" "Ah Yan, it seems like you enjoyed the empress dowager's identity quite a bit. It's been a long time since we last met, and her temper has grown."

"Don't call me Ah Yan!" Xie Poyan frowned. Her heart couldn't help but tremble when she heard that name.

The repulsive tone and expression of Xie Poyan caused Gu Wujing to become slightly angry. He reached out his hand and pinched Xie Poyan's chin, while a haughty expression appeared on Gu Wujing's face. "You want to call you Esteemed Empress Dowager by yourself?"

Was she that disgusted with the name 'Yan'e? Or was she disgusted with the past and herself?

Gu Wujing was so strong that Xie Poyan felt that his jaw was hurting. He clenched his teeth and stubbornly said, "The Regent must be joking. In these five days, I've only been a servant of the Manor."

"It's good that you know." Releasing his hand coldly, Gu Wujing withdrew his gaze, "Remember, right now, you are just a servant."

Xie Poyan suppressed the pain and bitterness in his heart and said, "Yes."

"You can leave now. From today onwards, you will be responsible for my life." Gu Wujing once again sat down at the table, "Remember, if you make me unhappy, the jade will be immediately destroyed!"

Xie Poyan's hands were trembling as he lowered his head and replied, "Yes, this servant will remember."

The moment she turned around to leave, the tears that she had held back for a long time slipped down in an instant.

In the old days, the apricot blossoms blew all over his head, but who was the young man that was so unrestrained?

In the end, Gu Wujing and she were no longer people of the past.

After Xie Poyan left, Gu Wujing stared at the imperial report in his hand, his gaze unmoving for a long time.

It was that stubborn look again!

Back then, she was the one who betrayed him. Now, he was the one who had the power to cover the sky. But why was it that she never revealed the slightest bit of regret!?

The imperial report in his hand was slammed onto the table. "Someone, come!"

A guard standing guard outside hurried in. "Master, what orders do you have?"

"Keep an eye on Xie Poyan. Also, tell her that no one is to help her!"
