Ji Ziyin observed Leonard’s expression and then carefully said, “Elder Leo, we can’t always be led by the nose by her. She’s looking down on you and the Empress more and more now. If this continues, I’m afraid.. your reputation will be swept away!’
Leonard was furious. “Ji Ziyin, who gave you the guts to talk to me like that?”
Ji Ziyin lowered her head and did not talk back.
Leonard was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
However, Ji Ziyin had hit the nail on the head. The progress of the independent continent’s plan met continuous setbacks. What he wanted had also been intercepted by Qiao Nian.
If he did not retaliate, no one would take him seriously in the future.
“Alright, I’ll think about it myself.” Leonard suppressed his anger and ordered her to leave. “You can leave.’
The corners of Ji Ziyin’s lips curled up as her mood brightened. She obediently turned around, closing the door on the way out.
“Elder Leo, do you want to listen to her instigation? This woman is obviously using you as a tool. She wants you to teach Qiao Nian a lesson on her behalf.” A medium- sized man walked out of Leonard’s room after Ji Ziyin left.
He was Leonard’s assistant and his confidant.
“That Qiao Nian… is not to be trifled with. If we attack rashly, she might have other tricks up her sleeve. Since she knew you wanted the painting and still snatched it, she isn’t afraid that you will come looking for her.”
Leonard sat down on the sofa with a heavy heart. His face was as dark as water. “l know this! I haven’t taken Ji Ziyin’s little scheme seriously. Most importantly, I promised Young Master Nie that I would give him this painting.”
His confidant walked over with a troubled expression. “Can’t you change the gift?”
Leonard looked at him as if he thought his question was ridiculous. Then, he casually said, “Who do you think he is? He usually gets anything he wants. It’s rare for him to ask something of me. How can I disappoint him…”
They were alone in the room.
Leonard’s confidant also relaxed and lowered his voice to say, “Elder Leo, is Nie Qixing Her Majesty’s son or…”
Leonard’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.
His confidant was shocked, and cold sweat trickled down his back. “I’m sorry, Elder Leo. I was tactless.’
Elder Leo retracted his gaze and slowly said, “You’re a member of my family.
Of course, I believe in your loyalty.”
He looked at his slightly relaxed confidant and reminded him coldly, “But you have to remember, this matter is taboo. Don’t mention it outside. Once it reaches the Empress’s ears, you will only die! Moreover, it might implicate the entire family. Do you understand?”
His tone was stern, and his expression was serious.
His confidant’s guard was raised. He immediately nodded and bowed.
understand, Elder Leo.’
“Yes.” Leonard raised his hand. “Go out. I want to be alone for a while.’
His confidant hesitated upon seeing he had a lot on his mind, but in the end, he still obeyed his orders. Before leaving, he fetched him a cup of warm water and placed it on the table before carefully saying, “Your stomach is not good. Drink less wine.’
Leonard was stunned for a moment. He hesitated momentarily but still picked up the cup of warm water..’!
