Chapter 3297: Empress, Explain Who the Person in the Photo is

Editor: Atlas Studios

Jacob looked at the envelope and explained in a low voice, “It was given by the same person.”

Quentin fiddled with the yellow envelope, in no hurry to open it. Instead, he looked meaningfully at the person in the high position. “Oh? What a coincidence. We were talking about her, and here she comes.”

Her?

Nie Qingru’s expression changed slightly. She couldn’t tell if Quentin was referring to her or just ‘her’ as in the documents. In short, her expression did not look too good. “Archbishop, this is the Privy Council. Don’t open everything any Tom, Dick, or Harry sends.”

“Is that so?” Quentin seemed to be deliberately opposing her. He casually tore open the envelope and said with a smile, “I think I can take a look.”

Nie Qingru’s face instantly darkened, her expression uncertain.

There were still so many people in the hall. More than 10 pairs of eyes watched her every move.

No matter how anxious Nie Qingru was, she couldn’t snatch the envelope from him in public. However, her mouth slowly tightened.

Quentin did it on purpose. His movements were slow and unhurried, and he did not take out the contents of the envelope for a long time.

Everyone’s eyes in the Council Hall were fixed on him.

They did not say anything, but they really wanted to know what was in the envelope.

Finally.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Nie Qingru’s ashen face. As if he had had enough fun, he turned the envelope upside down and poured out the contents.

A photo landed lightly on the black conference table.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on it.

“Another… photo?” Someone could not help but ask in surprise.

The others were more composed.

Elder Xue looked in Nie Qingru’s direction and saw the back of her hand tense up. He realized that this photo might be extraordinary.

He considered the reputation of the reclusive families and wanted to help Nie Qingru out. Suddenly, he put both hands on the table and stood up. Then, he looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him and said, “Archbishop, you have to know when to stop! We’re all members of the reclusive families. We have to prioritize the families. Don’t put your personal feelings in it.”

Before he could finish his sentence, Quentin had already picked up the photo and looked at it. With just one glance, he dropped his teasing expression. His dark brown eyes were dark and heavy as he suddenly sent the photo in Nie Qingru’s direction.

The atmosphere in the parliament hall became solemn.

He said right on the heels of that, “Empress, shouldn’t you give everyone an explanation?”

Nie Qingru frowned, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually increased. She thought the photo was of her and that woman. Suppressing her complicated emotions, she opened her mouth. “Didn’t I already say? They’re not of the same age. Even if it’s possible, she’s already dead. Why should a dead person be part of a conclusion?”

She was already dead.

A dead person.

She really wanted to pin this blame on Ji Qing. Even if Ji Qing was dead, she had to make use of her cleanly.

Quentin roughly understood why Qiao Nian had to go against her.

Any granddaughter who saw her grandmother disparaging her own daughter after having killed her would do the same.

Quentin was not trying to help anyone.

He simply wanted to see how the great Empress of the reclusive families was going to resolve this matter.

So he did not say anything. He just showed the photo to everyone around him so they could see who it was.

“Then, Empress, please explain who the person in this photo is!”
