Editor: Atlas StudiosA string in Madam Zhou’s mind almost snapped. Fortunately, she clenched her fists tightly and relied on the pain to retain a trace of rationality.
Her gaze was like a venomous snake’s as she opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue.
“You won’t be smug for long! The people from the reclusive families have already targeted you. You killed her successor. The Empress won’t let you off!”
These words were like a curse.
Madam Zhou wished she could curse her to death. It was better than seeing Qiao Nian’s sloppy face, as if she did not care about anything.
“She’s not someone to be trifled with. Back then, she could even kill her own daughter. And you caused her to lose all her face. Do you think she’ll let you off?!”
Madam Zhou tried to lift the corners of her lips into a disdainful smile.
She looked at Qiao Nian as if she was looking at a dead person. Her eyes were filled with disdain and sympathy.
“Do you think Zhou Zheng’s imprisonment will destroy the Zhou family?
“Let me tell you, in the future, you will only be a hundred times worse off than Zhou Zheng, a thousand times worse off than us… I’m waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!”
Qin Si’s eyebrows moved slightly, and he was about to retort when he heard the girl’s indifferent question, “Are you done?”
Madam Zhou’s smile froze when she heard her calm voice. However, her eyes were still filled with mockery. “You don’t have to pretend with me.”
“This is also what I want to say to you.” Qiao Nian really did not understand how they could have the cheek to question her time and time again.
Mr. Zhou was like this.
This woman was the same.
They were clearly the ones in the wrong, but when asked to bear the consequences, it was as if they had become the victims.
He came to look for her righteously.
Provocation after provocation, including verbal attacks.
She had never spoiled anyone.
Since Madam Zhou had come knocking on her door to talk about Nie Qingru, she might as well make things clear to her face-to-face.
“She ignored you, didn’t she?”
Qiao Nian’s nonchalant tone revealed that she had long seen through everything. Her words were like a sharp needle stabbing into Madam Zhou’s heart, instantly provoking her.
The eyes of the woman who had been showing off to her just now flickered. She actually did not dare to look Qiao Nian in the eye. Her eyes drifted, and her voice lowered. “What? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Heh.” Qiao Nian couldn’t be bothered to waste time with her and concisely said, “Since the reclusive families and the Empress are so powerful, why did she ask you to come to Beijing to cause trouble without ensuring your safety?”
Madam Zhou’s face paled. Thinking of something, she clenched her fists and glared at the girl. It was as if she had not only exposed her expectations but also her hopes for the future.
“I didn’t contact the Empress at all!”
She could only rely on vicious curses to feel at ease. “I’ll wait to see the day you fall! Qiao Nian, you’ll be even worse off than Zhou Zheng! Not only you but the people around you will also be dragged down. Just like Master Cheng, they’ll also suffer because of you. They’ll all be injured and lose their lives for you. You’re a jinx. Just watch!”
Ye Wangchuan had originally wanted to let Qiao Nian handle Madam Zhou alone. He had even stopped Qin Si from getting involved.
Until this moment.
His gaze suddenly darkened, and it was as if a storm had gathered around him. The air turned a few degrees colder, and he interrupted Madam Zhou, who was about to go crazy. “Madam Zhou, don’t forget that your son still has a final trial… 20 years is just a normal sentence. If the situation is serious, it’s not illegal to give him a life sentence or a death sentence.”
