Ji Ziyin tried her best to stall for time, but as a newcomer, she was not assigned much work to begin with, mainly helping with chores.
Things were done quickly.
Ji Ziyin had no reason to delay any longer, so she could only follow the others and walk outside the Privy Council...
She has been reporting to the Privy Council every day these days, unlike the other two newcomers who never see anyone.
People in the Privy Council had a good impression of her.
As the group of people walked out, someone spoke to her: "Xiao Ji, you have been here with us for so long. Do you know what happened to Qiao Nian in your family? I have never seen her in the Privy Council."
Ji Ziyin was worried about Lei Kai. When she heard him talking to her, she replied absently: "I'm not very familiar with her."
"Aren't you from the same family?" The person who asked her was a fat man with a kind face who asked out of pure curiosity.
Ji Ziyin glanced in his direction, frowned slightly, and soon relaxed, with a troubled expression on her oval face, as if she had something to hide, and hesitated to speak: "She is a solitary person, and is used to it."
Unconventional.”
A loner and a maverick.
The eight words seem to say nothing, but they also hint at everything that should be hinted at.
The group of people walking with her frowned, thinking deeply, and their impression of Qiao Nian was subtly different.
Everyone said nothing and walked forward in silence.
At this moment, someone saw the people surrounding the Privy Council door, stopped, pointed over there and said, "Look, why are there so many people outside!"
Ji Ziyin and others looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough they saw a lot of people gathered around the door of the Privy Council.
"Why are these people surrounding us? They don't know where this place is?" Someone frowned.
Someone was annoyed: "Where are those people at the door? No one cares about them?"
"Why do I see the Archbishop and his people over there? Let's go over and have a look." Others noticed that not only people from outside were gathered at the door of the Privy Council, but also people they knew were also watching.
Someone took the lead in front, and a group of people followed one after another, all wanting to see what was going on outside and making such a big noise...
Ji Ziyin invisibly fell to the back of the team.
She had never been interested in watching lively things. After a moment of hesitation, she couldn't resist the temptation and followed her.
…
The entrance to the Privy Council.
It's very lively at the moment.
Ji Ziyin followed the group of people around and saw seven or eight men in black tied up in the open space in the center of the crowd.
These people were tied up and thrown to the ground. They were rolling around on the ground and looked very scared.
There was also a person who was in a special situation. He was wearing a hospital gown and was thrown to the ground like a sack.
She didn't know a few other people.
Ji Ziyin saw clearly the man in the hospital gown, his complexion suddenly changed, and his gloomy eyes became nervous and uneasy.
"Isn't that Lei Kai?"
"It seems that they are all members of the Lei family."
"What's going on? Who tied all the members of Mr. Lei's family to the gate of the Privy Council?"
Ji Ziyin heard people talking around her and was sure that the man who was thrown to the ground like a pig was Lei Kai.
Her whole body was like a thunderbolt, and her blood froze. She was stuck there like a wooden stake, looking at the person she was afraid of seeing in the crowd...
