Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3760: Sister Nian’s Focused on the Last Experiment

As expected, Nie Qingru’s expression softened. She asked about his physical and rehabilitation over the past few days, including what the doctor said.

Di Xicheng answered her questions one by one.

Nie Qingru calmed down a little. “Since the doctor told you to rest more, you should stay home and rest well. Don’t go out and run around if there’s nothing to do.”

“I know, Aunt.” Di Xicheng lowered his eyelashes, looking very obedient.

Nie Qingru seemed to see another person through him. She was distracted for a few seconds before quickly returning to her senses. “I know you’re unhappy about losing to her last time. I’ll find an opportunity to let you vent your anger, but not now. Don’t run around during this period. Also… try not to provoke the Leonard family.”

Everyone present knew who she was referring to.

She was talking about Qiao Nian.

Di Xicheng felt his blood boil. He pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and tried his best to calm his surging heart. His head bent lower. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Nie Qingru looked at him a few more seconds before finally saying softly, “Your uncle’s ashes are with her. Don’t worry, I’ll snatch them back.”

Di Xicheng’s smile disappeared instantly. It was unknown if it was because he had heard that his uncle’s ashes had been snatched or if it was just because he had heard about his uncle.

He quickly controlled his emotions. He did not smile, but he was calm enough. “Thank you, Aunt.”

Nie Qingru patted his shoulder. “I have something to do. Get Shadow to help you with the discharge procedures later.”

“Okay.”

Di Xicheng’s shoulders sank as he nodded.

Nie Qingru did not stay any longer and went out first.

Shadow walked behind her. Seeing the ambiguous expression on his face, he frowned slightly and warned him. “The Empress has lost a lot because of you. If you still have a conscience, put away your little schemes. Don’t let her down!”

Di Xicheng raised his head and looked at him. His eyes were emotionless, as if there was only empty coldness left in the two pools of cold water. “Aunt has already given her granddaughter to me to vent my anger. What do I have to let Aunt down for? Uncle Ning, you’re overthinking.”

Shadow couldn’t describe his feelings when he met his gaze. In short, he was very uncomfortable, especially with what he said.

Shadow did not say anything else and walked out. “I’ll go settle the discharge procedures for you.”

Di Xicheng clicked his tongue and watched them leave.

**

Independent continent.

First Research Institute.

The outside world had been in an uproar for the past few days. After Beijing delivered the chips as scheduled, Continent M suffered another loss in silence.

Recently, the dissatisfaction within the reclusive families toward Nie Qingru increased. Among the three giants of the Privy Council, only the conservatives still supported the Empress.

Nie Qingru’s own business also suffered countless losses every day because of this confrontation with Beijing.

It was obviously not a good thing to incur losses for such a long time.

The reclusive families kept having meetings to discuss whether they should continue to suppress Beijing.

The archbishop was the first to express his disapproval of suppressing Beijing.

The Leonards stood on the archbishop’s side for the first time. They also expressed their unwillingness to let the reclusive families continue to incur losses.

…

All of this had nothing to do with Qiao Nian.

She was fully focused on breaking through the last experiment. Besides Xu Yi and Feng Yu, she even asked Xie Tingyun for help.
