Chapter 4016: Chapter 4016: Outsiders Can Tell She’s Doomed Soon
"Things are different now. After so many events, people are starting to realize that the Ji Family of the Independent Continent doesn’t seem to show much respect to her. Her status as an ancestor holds limited weight in front of the illegitimate child she’s looking for, and the Ji Family of the Independent Continent has never been at her beck and call. Naturally, people will have new considerations."
The young man speaking looked disdainfully at Nie Qingru, who was the last to walk in.
Nie Qingru was dressed in the empress’s ceremonial attire, dignified and majestic, and entered last, accompanied by attendants, enjoying the bowing of all present.
He felt it was all absurd.
As he bowed, he whispered to a friend, "I’ve never understood what she’s thinking. If I were her, I would never have harmed my only daughter. As long as her daughter is alive, as the direct descendant, the Ji family would eventually belong to her daughter, and it wouldn’t lead to an illegitimate child smoothly climbing to the position of Patriarch."
"This I don’t understand, and then there’s the empress constantly opposing her own granddaughter; I also don’t get what she’s thinking."
In his eyes,
Nie Qingru achieved her current status partly because of a good marriage, and partly because of her connection with the Ji Family of the Independent Continent... Given this, why is the empress so proud? Why not use her advantages to elevate her granddaughter to replace the disobedient illegitimate child, solidifying her relationship with the Independent Continent.
In doing so, she could maintain her unshakable high status in the reclusive family.
Yet, this empress shows incredible wisdom and ruthlessness in other matters but appears bewilderingly confused in this one.
She’s even set to destroy her own granddaughter...
Does she not understand the real reason she’s able to sit firmly atop the reclusive family?
What is sentiment in the face of profit?
The old men supported her sitting in this position just to show the Independent Continent how they treated the late great figure’s widow with respect and dignity...
"So I think today’s impeachment decision might disappoint her!"
Nie Qingru had already walked past.
The two naturally straightened up and lifted their heads.
They were just ordinary among the younger generation, placed unobtrusively at the back of the staircase.
No one noticed what they whispered about.
But both cast their eyes on the backs of the few big figures walking along the carpet in the center, waiting for the end of the voting phase and the final result.

In the front.
Luke, the youngest and least experienced, didn’t take a seat first.
Instead, he let his hands fall and stood there quietly waiting for the others behind to arrive, then voluntarily spoke, "Archbishop, Old Xue, please have a seat first."
"Thank you." Quentin clearly had a closer relationship with him and took the seat Luke offered without ceremony.
The elderly man in a blue shirt looked solemn, followed closely, and sat next to the archbishop, leaning over to ask in a low voice, "Are you really going to impeach the empress?"
"What does Old Xue mean by this?" Quentin raised an eyebrow and said casually, "I only initiated the impeachment process in the name of the Privy Council; whether to impeach or not depends on everyone’s vote results... If everyone has this intention, it only means adhering to their choice. Don’t place it on just me; I can’t bear that responsibility."
Old Xue was thoroughly blocked by his words, his face darkened as he sat back upright, with dark eyes, pondering something unknown.
