Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3690: Di Xicheng’s Appearance

Only after they walked out did the old men restrain themselves and say to Luke, “We’ll suppress Fei Teng’s delivery date. Do you know what to do if the Empress asks for you?”

Luke nodded. “I do.”

The old man was very pleased. “That’s good.”

They then arranged to go out and discuss specific countermeasures, leaving Luke alone at the Privy Council’s entrance.

After watching the car drive away, Luke returned to the Privy Council. After some thought, he sent a message to Qiao Nian, who was far away in the independent continent.

He did not reveal much information about the reclusive families. He only vaguely conveyed that they were unwilling to accept the order from Country C.

This was Qiao Nian’s repayment for helping him find out the Patriarch’s real murderer.

The Patriarch was not a good person, but he had raised him and made him respect and admire him like his father.

He had once promised in front of that person that if she found the Patriarch’s real murderer, he would owe her a favor and definitely repay her in the future.

It was not difficult for him to reveal information that did not affect the overall situation, nor did it hurt the family’s interests.

Luke was very happy to do so.

Because he couldn’t stand the high and mighty Empress either.

After all, if not for the Empress’ instigation back then, the Patriarch wouldn’t have died in the independent continent almost without a corpse.

He really wanted to see the Empress fall.

After sending the message, Luke deleted the message and walked into the Privy Council’s majestic archway without looking back.

Not long after Nie Qingru left, Shadow, together with a young man, knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Squeak.

The door opened.

Shadow walked to Nie Qingru’s square desk and greeted her respectfully. “Your Majesty, Young Master Di is here.”

Nie Qingru stopped writing and noticed that another person was following behind him.

The man was 1.89m tall. His hoodie covered most of his face, and only his stubble could be seen from his chin.

“Aunt.”

His drooping bangs covered most of his eyes, but she could still tell they were beautiful. When he smiled, they would definitely turn bright and brilliant.

The vicious aura surrounding Nie Qingru suddenly dissipated when he called her “Aunt.” Even her usual domineering edge softened.

“There you are.”

She even stood up, walked over, and concernedly patted the young man’s arm. “Why aren’t you resting at home for a few more days?”

“I’ve already recovered, so I asked Uncle Ning to bring me to see you.” The young man’s gaze subconsciously landed on her hand. A trace of disgust flashed across his eyes, but it was hidden very well and disappeared in an instant.

Facing Nie Qingru, his voice revealed a bit of clarity.

This did not match his appearance at all.

However, Nie Qingru was convinced. “If you want to see me, just let me know. I can go to your residence.”

Di Xicheng did not respond. Instead, he changed the topic without a trace. “Aunt, I heard the Leonard family looked for you?”

As he spoke, he walked to the side, avoiding Nie Qingru’s hand.

However, he acted naturally, as if it was just an inadvertent action, making it seem as if it was not his intention to avoid Nie Qingru.

Even Nie Qingru did not notice anything wrong with his actions.
