Chapter 3272: We Can Deal With Qiao Nian Together

Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Wangchuan could tell she was thinking about something and lowered his head slightly to look at the girl. His voice was low and gentle. “Everyone wants to celebrate. Master Cheng asked if you have anything you want to eat.”

Master Cheng’s intention was obviously to go along with Qiao Nian’s taste.

Qiao Nian came back to her senses. “I’m not picky.”

After she finished speaking, she saw the man raise his eyebrows in disbelief.

Qiao Nian rubbed her eyebrows and said speechlessly, “… As long as it’s not too spicy.”

Perhaps because a certain someone’s gaze was too focused, making her feel irritable, she paused again and explained with one hand in her pocket, “Master Cheng is old. It’s better for his health for him to eat less spicy food. I don’t have much of an appetite right now, so don’t worry about me.”

Noticing her serious expression, Ye Wangchuan retracted his eyes and smiled. “Alright.”

Qiao Nian nodded and thought about the photo again.

At the same time.

Nie Qingru returned to her residence.

When the car parked, the butler was already standing outside.

He said, “Empress, Elder Xue from the Privy Council is here.”

What did the conservatives want with her?

“Mm.”

Someone opened the door for her, and Nie Qingru slowly got out of the car. Then, she took off her hat, handed it to the butler, and strode towards the villa.

Her every step was steady, with an ambition that did not match her age. Even at this age, she was still hale and hearty.

Within minutes, she looked at the silver-haired old man sitting in the reception room waiting for her.

Elder Xue was still wearing a half-new Chinese tunic suit. One could tell from the design that the eastern elements were included. His clothes were neat, but he did not look like someone from the reclusive families.

He was too low-key!

Instead, he appeared hypocritical.

Nie Qingru walked past him and sat down on the sofa opposite him. She asked a servant to make a cup of coffee before looking at the person who should not be there.

“Is something the matter?”

She had always been at odds with the conservatives, so she was too lazy to put on an act.

Elder Xue watched as the servant brought her coffee. Without batting an eyelid, he pushed his teacup away and calmly said, “Empress, I heard that the results of the weapons exhibition are out. Your brother didn’t get first place, nor did he get Mr. Auburn’s favor.”

Having just picked up the coffee cup and as she was about to take a sip, Nie Qingru’s hand stilled. Her gaze instantly became sharp, and she immediately sneered. “Heh, what do you think this place is? Why? Are you here to mock me?”

It was not surprising for the Privy Council to hear about this, but she did not expect the other party to come to her and tell her this. It was a little too presumptuous!

Losing her appetite, she slammed the cup and placed her hands on the table. Leaning back and narrowing her eyes with condescending pressure, she reminded him coldly, “Don’t forget that the imperial power is above everything! Even you elders of the Privy Council don’t have the right to point fingers in front of me.”

Not wanting to look at the old thing who did not know what was good for him anymore, she instructed the butler, “What are you waiting for? Send the guest out!”

The butler was a little embarrassed. For a moment, he did not know how to approach the silver-haired old man. After all, he was one of the elders of the Privy Council.

The Empress could treat him disrespectfully, but the butler did not dare to chase him away with a stick.

Elder Xue did not expect such a big reaction. He was a little stunned and embarrassed. He immediately tried to persuade her.

“Empress, that’s not what I came for.

“I mean, we can deal with Qiao Nian together!”
