Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 2937  Didnʼt You Go Out That Day?

”Hello.” Ji Ziyin had just come out of the hospital when she received Matriarch Luʼs call.

She opened the car door with one hand and casually listened to Matriarch Luʼs flattery. After a long time, she asked, ”Whereʼs Lu Yiming?”

She remembered that Lu Yiming had handed the painting she wanted to Qiao Nian two days ago without hesitation and even wanted to cut ties with her.

Matriarch Lu did not know why she was asking about Lu Yiming. She was embarrassed for a long time before saying, ”Him? He said that he went out to take a breather.”

”Oh, I see.” Ji Ziyinʼs eyes flashed with disdain. ”Matriarch Lu, Iʼm still busy. I donʼt have time to chat with you.”

Matriarch Lu refused to give up. ”Why donʼt I get him to call you when he returns?”

A hint of coldness appeared in Ji Ziyinʼs eyes as she bent down to get into the car and fasten her seatbelt. ”Thereʼs no need.”

She did not need him anymore!

She just wanted to see if Lu Yiming regretted choosing the wrong person!

Her expression relaxed, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She couldnʼt hide her joy.

All of this was no longer important.

Leonard was dead.

She was about to take over the position of Patriarch of the Ji family. In addition, she could also take a gamble with the Privy Council. She might be able to replace Leonard…

Ji Ziyin was no longer in the mood to waste time with Matriarch Lu at these thoughts.

She said, ”Iʼm hanging up.”

Without waiting for Matriarch Lu to speak, she hung up and casually threw the phone on the passenger seat.

Ji Ziyin started the car and stepped on the accelerator.

She had to contact the Empress as soon as possible!

…

Logically speaking, since Leonard had died in the independent continent for no reason, the Empress should have immediately taken action.

However, the next three days were peaceful.

The factions in the independent continent paying attention to this matter were all confused. They could not understand what the reclusive families and the Empress were thinking.

This included Ji Ziyin.

For three whole days, Ji Ziyin stayed at her residence, waiting for the good news.

Three days passed, but she did not receive any news.

Ji Ziyin became more and more anxious.

Ji Xiao had been with her for the past few days.

He was even more nervous than Ji Ziyin.

Seeing that there was no good news, he finally could not hold it in anymore!

Ji Xiao suddenly stood up and said, ”Perhaps you should try to contact the reclusive families again? You can also contact Lord Shadow.”

How could Ji Ziyin not be frustrated!

She suppressed her uneasiness, pursed her lips, and stared at him expressionlessly. ”If I contact them now, wonʼt I be showing them that Iʼm anxious?”

The Empress was not a fool.

The best thing she could do now was wait quietly at home for news.

”Letʼs wait.”

Ji Ziyin restrained the coldness in her eyes and composed herself as she watched Ji Xiao pace in the room. ”Leonard is the Empressʼs right-hand man. He died in the independent continent for no reason while meeting Qiao Nian… The Empress wonʼt let her off even if itʼs for her pride! We just have to wait for the news!”

Ji Xiaoʼs heart turned cold when she mentioned Leonard. He subconsciously peeked at her expression. ”W-What did you do when you went out that day?”

”Mm?”

Ji Xiao murmured, ”Didnʼt you go out the day Leonard was shot?”
