Chapter 3273: Keep an Eye on Qixing and Don’t Let Him Cause Trouble for Me

“Oh?” As expected, Nie Qingru looked at him with a playful expression. “You want to deal with Qiao Nian?”
“Yes.” Elder Xue watched as she stared at him with a faint smile. He had always acted appropriately and calmly.
Nie Qingru gradually retracted her ridicule and calmly asked, “Why? Aren’t you close to her?”
Elder Xue frowned and pursed his lips. “Because she has affected the reclusive families’ reputation.”
“Oh? Just for this?” Nie Qingru did not quite believe him.
Elder Xue looked at her frankly and said in a deep voice, “Empress, there are many conflicts within the reclusive families, but to outsiders, we are a unit. I don’t want anyone to shake our foundation. This is also my principle and bottom line!”
His meaning was clear.
Qiao Nian’s existence had already begun to shake the reclusive families’ foundation. This was something he did not want to see.
Nie Qingru roughly understood what he meant and finally looked him in the eye. “How do you plan to deal with her?”
“My idea is…” Elder Xue naturally came up with an idea to discuss with her this time, so he told Nie Qingru his thoughts.
Nie Qingru did not immediately express whether this method was feasible. Instead, she revealed a thoughtful expression. “Let me think about it first.”
“Sure.” Elder Xue wasn’t in a hurry. He picked up the teacup.
He slowly blew away the foam and looked at the leaves floating in the tea. He thought of the girl’s unruly face. In the end, he sighed and lowered his head to take a sip.
Nie Qingru thought for about 10 minutes, but she still could not give him an answer. She said with a deep gaze, “Go back. I’ll discuss it with you after I’ve thought it through.”
Elder Xue had already been here for a long time. He tactfully stood up and did not disturb her anymore. “Then I’ll go back now, Empress.”
“Go.” Nie Qingru’s expression softened, and she forced herself to give him a good look.
The butler respectfully made a “please” gesture.
Elder Xue followed him.
After they left, the servants did not dare to disturb Nie Qingru. They quietly finished their work and left.
Only Nie Qingru was left sitting on the sofa in the living room. She picked up the indoor phone with her well-maintained hand and dialed a number.
The other end picked up instantly.
Nie Qingru put the receiver to her ear. Not letting the other person speak, she ordered in a low voice, “Keep an eye on Qixing for the next few days!
“… Before Qiao Nian leaves, don’t let him go out alone. I don’t have time to clean up his mess every day!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Shadow was as loyal as ever.
Nie Qingru was slightly relieved. About to hang up, she paused and lowered her eyes. Then, she whispered, “Help me make an appointment with Master Cheng.”
The Empress wanted to make an appointment with Master Cheng?
Why did the Empress want to meet Master Cheng?
Shadow was puzzled, but he did not dare to disobey her order. “… Yes.”
This time, Nie Qingru directly hung up.

At the hotel.
Originally, Master Cheng had arranged for a simple celebration in the afternoon. However, too many media outlets wanted to interview him, so he could not take the time.
The celebration party was changed from noon to the following night.
In the end, the next afternoon, Master Cheng received Nie Qingru’s invitation for a meeting.
He had to discuss this with Qiao Nian and Ye w.a.n.gchuan first, so he immediately went looking for her.
