Chapter 3295: The Privy Council Received an Identical Photo

Editor: Atlas Studios

Shadow was relieved after hearing that. He quickly agreed. “Yes, I will get someone to do it right away. I promise to delete all the photos.”

“Mm.”

On the other end, Nie Qingru responded calmly and then hung up.

In the house.

Nie Qingru hung up and looked at the nameless message she had received in the morning. She narrowed her eyes and looked a little ruthless.

Walking back to the living room, she sat down on the sofa, took her mobile phone, and replied to the other party.

She did not hide her dissatisfaction. In fact, because of her anger, she even questioned the other party.

—[Qiao Nian, what are you trying to do!]

Nie Qingru looked at the successfully sent message and was about to put it down with a cold expression. After all, with that evil creature’s personality, the chances of her replying to the message were basically zero.

Unexpectedly, her cell phone vibrated right after.

Nie Qingru looked at the new unread text message on the screen and opened it.

It was the same anonymous number.

—[It’s nothing. I just want to see what desperation looks like.]

Nie Qingru seemed to see the girl’s sloppy and unruly face, as well as her dark eyes staring at her.

Her blood flowed in reverse, and a fire rushed to the top of her head again, causing the nerves at the back of her head to twitch in pain.

“Evil creature!”

What she hated the most was the Ji family’s arrogance. It was as if they did not care about anyone.

It made people want to beat them into a quagmire, watch them suffer, watch them kneel and beg for mercy…

However, Nie Qingru wasn’t in the mood to think further. Her face was cold, and she felt vaguely uneasy. She felt that Qiao Nian would not just post the photos on the forum.

She was about to call and ask what the other party wanted to do when someone called.

Nie Qingru raised her dark brows upon seeing the caller ID. Then, she accepted the call and placed the phone to her ear. “Elder Xue, why are you calling me at this hour?”

“The Privy Council received a stack of photos early in the morning. The person in the photos doesn’t match the person Shadow brought yesterday. Empress, are you free to come over? The elders want a reasonable explanation.”

Yesterday, Nie Qingru asked Shadow to find a random sacrificial lamb to give the Privy Council an ‘explanation’.

In the blink of an eye, this ‘explanation’ became a joke.

Moreover, now she had to explain herself to the Privy Council today!

Nie Qingru almost crushed her phone. Her temples throbbed violently, but she managed to steady her breathing and said coldly, “I understand. I’ll be there.”

Elder Xue hung up.

Nie Qingru then received the only good news from Shadow in the past two days: [Empress, the photos have already been deleted.]

Nie Qingru grabbed her phone and instructed the butler with a deep gaze, “Prepare the car. I’m going to the Privy Council.”

…

In the afternoon.

Nie Qingru’s car drove into the Privy Council.

This time was different from last time.

People revealed indescribable expressions when they saw her. There was less fear in their eyes and even a hint of gossip…

The Empress’s status had always been unattainable for them.

Nie Qingru had long been used to being feared, unlike now, when even these small characters dared to sneak glances at her.

She walked into the Council Hall.

Other than a few elders, there were no outsiders in the hall.

Nie Qingru walked in and sat in her seat.
