3005 The Empress Knows About It
Continent M.
The matter had blown up so much.
The Empress had already learned the ins and outs of the matter from her spies.
Her mood was low since she found out about it in the morning. The atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive, and no one dared to breathe heavily.
Nie Qingru crumpled the secret report into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Her face was dark and expressionless as she asked coldly, "Where is Shadow?"
"Lord Shadow just got off the plane." The person standing in front of her shivered.
Nie Qingru tried to suppress her emotions. "Tell him I want to see him immediately!" "Yes."
Her man carefully retreated without lifting his head.
**
Half an hour later.
Shadow arrived.
He did not dare to rest throughout the journey and went straight to Nie Qingru's place.
"Empress, I'm back."
Shadow had been running back and forth, and he looked visibly tired.
He forced himself to stay awake, looked at Nie Qingru sitting in the small garden trimming the flowers, and hoarsely said, "I heard you're looking for me." Snip!
The silver scissors in Nie Qingru's hand opened and closed, and a perfectly fine blooming flower was cut at the stem.
She put down the scissors and washed her hands elegantly, then ordered coldly without even looking at him, "Kneel."
Shadow immediately knelt on one knee with one hand on the ground. Then, he pursed his lips and apologized. "I'm sorry, Empress."
Only now did Nie Qingru look him in the eye. "Why didn't you tell me immediately?"
Shadow knew she already learned what happened in Country M...
He lowered his head, downcast. "I... I didn't want to affect your mood because of this small matter. Your health isn't good, so I thought that if I could resolve it myself..." He had wanted to solve this problem by himself, but it only got worse. Shadow felt ashamed.
"I'm sorry, Empress. I've disappointed you."
Nie Qingru was indeed very disappointed in him this time. She stared at him for a few seconds before suddenly turning away and sitting back down. "Get up."
Shadow raised his head and looked at her but did not move.
Nie Qingru picked up the cut branches on the table and crushed the flowers. Her tone was cold. "Did you go to Country M to investigate the whole matter? Did Qixing participate in that clubhouse's business?"
The Nie Family was prosperous.
They had more than 20 direct descendants in Nie Qixing's generation alone.
Nie Qixing was not eye-catching.
Therefore, many people outside, including many of the reclusive families, did not know him.
Only a few people in the Nie family and Leonard knew the inside story.
In fact, none of the direct descendants caught Nie Qingru's eyes. Instead, it was the inconspicuous Nie Qixing the orthodox successor Nie Qingru had secretly nurtured over the years.
Nie Qingru had high hopes for Nie Qixing.
He did not let her down. He performed extremely well among the younger generation. This kind of outstandingness had nothing to do with his family background. In some aspects, he could even catch up to Ji Qing back then.
This was also what Nie Qingru had always been most satisfied with.
Shadow knew well that Nie Qingru's cultivation of Nie Qixing was "perfect". For this, she did not even let Nie Qixing get involved in the Nie family and the reclusive families' businesses...
