The person who came with Leonard got out of the car. She was dressed in black, and only her gloves were dark red velvet. She looked elegant and graceful.
A black veil covered her face, but it could not hide her shrewd and domineering temperament. She was a woman with a powerful aura.
Or rather, an old woman.
She walked forward looking straight at Qiao Nian, as if no one else could enter her eyes.
âItâs the Empress!â âThe Empress is here too.â
âItâs Her Majesty.â
The people at the entrance of the Privy Council were in an uproar.
Everyone looked at the Empress excitedly and nervously.
As she got closer and closer, the boiling discussions abruptly stoppedâ¦
Everyone was suffocated by her aura. No one dared to speak impudently!
Nie Qingru quickly stood in front of Qiao Nian.
This was the first time she had met her.
She only took a glance at her before retracting her gaze. Her brows under the wide brim of her cap furrowed slightly, showing her annoyance.
Rather than saying that the other party looked like Ji Qing, it was more accurate to say that she looked like another person!
Looking at Qiao Nian, it was almost as if she was looking at that person.
Qiao Nianâs arrogant and insufferable appearance was very similar to that personâs. She felt disgusted just by looking at her.
Indeed, Nie Qingru only took a glance at Qiao Nian before she looked at the man standing beside her.
She sized him up and then condescendingly asked, âYouâre the Dark Fortâs owner?
Ye Wangchuan restrained his smile, but he did not answer her.
Nie Qingru did not need him to. She asked again, âDo you like her?â
She was obviously referring to Qiao Nian.
However, even when she mentioned Qiao Nianâs name, she did not look at her. It was as if one look would dirty her eyes.
Nie Qingruâs gaze was fixed on Ye Wangchuan. Her aura was strong. âSince sheâs with you at all times, you should know my identity.â
Ye Wangchuanâs side profile was cold. He did not smile or stop her from continuing.
Her identity?
As Qiao Nianâs grandmother?
Ye Wangchuan suddenly felt that the other partys way of bossing him around was ridiculous. It was like a joke.
âLeonardâs family did accidentally hurt someone, you know.â
âAre you sure that was an accident?â Qiao Nianâs voice was hoarse, mixed with cold mockery.
Nie Qingru probably felt that her attitude was childish and ridiculous. She ignored her and continued talking to Ye Wangchuan. âBut you have to be clear. You detained their men first. They were forced to attack that woman. Itâs understandableâ¦
She was probably used to being domineering all her life. From her position, she
no longer needed to bow down to anyone.
Even though she should be persuading Qiao Nian, her attitude was more like an order.
She was demanding for Qiao Nian to stop.
ââ¦This matter ends here.â Nie Qingruâs eyes were filled with indifference as she naturally made arrangements. âYou guys pack up and go back. Take your people away too.â
âAre you done?â Ye Wangchuan had listened to her patiently out of respect for his future mother-in-law whom he would never meet.
Nie Qingruâs eyes narrowed dangerously. âYou should know who I am.. Donât disappoint me!
