Chapter 681: 322 The Truth Revealed (Double Update)_5

The unfairness pierced her heart with pain.

She lowered her gaze and murmured, "I... thought you didn’t want it."

"Why wouldn’t I want..."

Before the word was fully spoken, Xiao Liulang stopped.

I thought you didn’t want it.

The implication of that sentence was colossal.

It can’t be that my Xiao Liulang doesn’t want it, but Xiao Hen does not.

Empress Dowager Zhuang knew who he was now.

She also remembered the time she "poisoned" Xiao Hen and knew that Xiao Hen had been wary of her, disgusted with her, and couldn’t wait to stay away from her.

"Haven’t you thought of asking me?"

"I have, but I... was afraid." Empress Dowager Zhuang mustered up all her courage and dignity to admit her feelings.

Fearing rejection, she rejected the possibility of being rejected first because she cared too much.

She would rather be wronged a thousand times than open her heart once.

Her pride was that strong and that twisted.

Yet the hint of unfairness in Xiao Liulang’s eyes shattered her decades of pride.

"I didn’t not want it." Xiao Liulang turned his face away and spoke with a tone of unfairness and unease.

He was also a twisted person.

He was also shy to speak out.

Moreover, he was still a child.

In front of the elderly, that is.

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at him straight in the eye, her eyes glowed, "What did you say?"

"Nothing!" Xiao Liulang walked out expressionless.

Before he left the Renshou Palace, Qin Gonggong caught up with him, cheerfully said: "Xiao Xiuzhuan, please wait! You forgot something!"

Xiao Liulang: "I didn’t."

Qin Gonggong: "You did! You did! Please come with me to fetch it!"

Xiao Liulang was led by Qin Gonggong to a side hall of Renshou Palace.

Qin Gonggong pushed open the room door and smiled, "Please."

Xiao Liulang couldn’t believe it, and was at a loss for words. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

Xiao Liulang, with his cane in one hand and the brocade box in the other, made his way through most of the Renshou palace with his awkward walk, leaving all the palace maids and eunuchs in confusion.

Looked human but walked in such a handicapped way?!

Xiao Liulang had already left Renshou Palace, but he paused, and doubled back.

He stood outside Empress Dowager Zhuang’s study.

He didn’t go in.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said indifferently, "No need to thank me, it makes my skin crawl."

Damn it, what she said earlier was enough to make her regret, she must have been possessed to let herself lose face due to his unfairness.

Given a second chance, she would stab him in the heart a hundred times with a knife rather than admit that she was afraid of being rejected by him.

Xiao Liulang pursed his lips, poked his head in from outside the door, and childishly complained, "Grandma, Grand Tutor Zhuang is bullying me!"

After saying this, he ran away like the wind!

Well, it was his first time being this immature, it was so embarrassing, he even forgot he was lame, and tripped while running, tumbled down the steps, and had a big fall on the grass!

Everyone: "..."

They simply couldn’t bear to watch.

The corner of Empress Dowager Zhuang’s lips twitched slightly, the next second, she resumed her indifferent demeanor, and said with a majestic air, "Summon Grand Tutor Zhuang!"
