Nie Qingru's expression was indeed much more relaxed. She asked him about his physical condition with concern, and also asked him whether he had done a good job of rehabilitation in the past few days, including what the doctor said.
Zhai Xicheng answered them one by one.
Nie Qingru calmed down a little: "Since the doctor asked you to rest more, you should stay at home and rest well recently. Don't go out for no reason."
"I know, aunt." Zhai Xicheng lowered his eyelashes and looked very obedient.
Nie Qingru seemed to see another person through him. She was distracted for a few seconds, then quickly came back to her senses and said, "I know you are not convinced that you lost to her last time. I will find a chance to let you vent your anger, but not now. Don't run around during this period, and... try not to provoke the Reynard family."
Everyone present knew exactly who this "she" was referring to.
Nie Qingru is talking about Qiao Nian.
Zhai Xicheng felt his blood boiling when he heard the name. He pressed the tip of his tongue against his jaw, trying to calm his surging heart. He lowered his head and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Nie Qingru looked at him a few more times, and finally said softly: "Your uncle's ashes are in her hands. Don't worry, I will get them back."
The smile on Zhai Xicheng's face disappeared in an instant. It was not known whether it was because he heard that his uncle's ashes were stolen or simply because he heard his uncle's name.
He quickly controlled his emotions and didn't laugh, but he was calm enough: "Thank you, aunt."
Nie Qingru patted him on the shoulder and said, "I have something else to do and I need to leave. Please ask Yingzi to help you with the discharge procedures."
"good."
Zhai Xicheng's shoulders sank and he nodded.
Nie Qingru didn't stay any longer and went out first.
Shadow walked behind him, looking at the ambiguous expression on his face, frowned slightly and warned him: "The Queen has lost a lot because of you, if you still have a conscience, put away your little calculations and don't let her down!"
Zhai Xicheng looked up at him, his eyes calm, as if two cold ponds were filled with nothing but coldness. "My aunt has given me her granddaughter to vent her anger on, so why should I feel sorry for her? Uncle Ning, you're overthinking."
Shadow couldn't describe how he felt when he met his gaze, but he felt very uncomfortable, especially because of what he said.
Shadow didn't say anything else and walked out: "I'll go and get you discharged."
Zhai Xicheng sighed and watched them leave one after another.

Independent state.
First Research Institute.
There has been a lot of noise outside these days. After Beijing delivered the chips as scheduled, Continent M suffered another loss.
Recently, dissatisfaction with Nie Qingru within the hidden families has been growing day by day. Among the three major leaders of the Privy Council, only the conservatives still support the Queen as always.
As a result of his confrontation with the Beijing City, Nie Qingru's own industry was also suffering countless losses every day.
Such a long period of loss is obviously not a good thing.
The hidden family held frequent meetings to discuss whether or not to continue their unilateral suppression of Beijing City.
The Archbishop was the first to speak out and express his disapproval of the continued suppression of Jingshi.
This time, the Reynard family stood with the archbishop for the first time, and also expressed their unwillingness to continue to let the hidden family suffer losses.
…
None of this has anything to do with Qiao Nian.
She devoted herself to breaking through the last experiment. In addition to Xu Yi and Feng Yu's help, she even asked Xie Tingyun to come.
