Yu Zhen finally understood what was bothering her today. She thought Xu Jiaqi walked away unscathed. He revealed a dark smile and released her from the embrace. Disappointment instantly flooded her face as he walked off.
He approached his desk, knowing she was watching his every move. He picked up a rolled-up parchment and approached her again. He tipped the scroll in her direction.
Li Xueyue stared down at the object. She was curious about what it was. She took the scroll from him and unraveled it. Immediately, the seal of the Imperial Family could be seen. She quickly skimmed the contents. It didn't take long for her head to shoot up.
"Is this a punishment for her or me?" she stated.
"For her," he chuckled.
Li Xueyue shook her head. "No, I don't want her as my maidservant."
Yu Zhen wrapped his hand around her fingers. "Consider this offer carefully," he said.
