"Hello." Ji Ziyin had just come out of the hospital when she received a call from Mrs. Lu.
She opened the car door with one hand, while listening to Mrs. Lu's flattery on the other end of the phone nonchalantly. After a long while, she replied, "Where's Lu Yiming?"
She remembered that two days ago, Lu Yiming gave the painting she wanted to Qiao Nian without hesitation and wanted to cut off all contact with her.
Madam Lu didn’t know why she asked about Lu Yiming. She was embarrassed for a long time before she said, “Well, he said he went out to get some fresh air.”
"Oh, is that so?" Ji Ziyin's eyes flashed after hearing this, and a trace of contempt flashed across her eyes: "Madam Lu, I'm still busy, so I won't chat with you."
Madam Lu was unwilling to give up: "How about waiting for him to come back and I'll ask him to call you?"
Ji Ziyin's lips curled up with a hint of coldness. She bent down to get into the car and fastened her seat belt, saying in an extremely cold tone, "No need."
She no longer needs it!
She just wanted to see if Lu Yiming regretted choosing the wrong person two days ago!
In an instant, the expression on her face relaxed again and she raised the corners of her mouth, unable to hide the joy in her heart.
None of this matters anymore.
Leonard is dead.
She will soon take over the position of the head of the Ji family. She can also give it a try in the Privy Council and maybe she can replace Leonard...
When Ji Ziyin thought about this, she no longer had the mood to waste time with people like Old Madam Lu.
She said, "I'm hanging up."
Then, without waiting for Madam Lu to speak, he hung up the phone and threw the phone casually on the passenger seat.
Ji Zinyin started the car and drove back.
She has to contact the Queen quickly!
…
Logically speaking, since Reinald died inexplicably in the Independent State, the Queen should have taken immediate action.
But the next three days were peaceful. The forces in the Independent Continent who were waiting with eager ears were all confused and could not understand what the hidden family and the queen were thinking.
This also includes Ji Zinyin who was eagerly waiting.
For three whole days, Ji Zinyin stayed at her residence and did not go anywhere, just waiting for good news from outside.
Three days passed in a flash.
She received no news.
Ji Zinyin also became more and more anxious from being full of confidence at the beginning.
Ji Xiao has been staying with her these days.
He was even more nervous than Ji Zinyin.
Seeing that there was no good news, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore!
Ji Xiao suddenly stood up and said to Ji Ziyin, "Why don't you contact the hidden family again? Or you can contact Master Shadow."
Ji Zinyin was also annoyed!
She forced all her uneasiness to be suppressed in her heart, pursed her lips, and stared at him expressionlessly: "If I contact them at this time, wouldn't it tell them that I am very anxious?"
The Queen is not a fool.
Her best option now is to do nothing and wait quietly at home for news.
"wait."
Seeing Ji Xiao walking around in the room, Ji Ziyin hid the cold light in her eyes, calmed down a little, and said, "Reynard was the Queen's right-hand man. He died in the Independent Continent for unknown reasons, and he met Qiao Nian before his death... The Queen would not let her go even for the sake of her face! We just have to wait for news!"
When Ji Xiao heard her casually talk about Leonard's death, he felt a chill in his heart and subconsciously stole a glance at her expression: "You...what did you do when you went out that day?"
"Um?"
Ji Xiao couldn't help but whispered, "It was the day when Leonard got into trouble. Didn't you go out?"
