He was unaware that it was not because Gong Cheng did not want to speak! An Jiuyue, who found him noisy, had poisoned him after he scolded her.
What was he supposed to say if he could not speak? He had to hold it in.
Eldest Brother Yan and Third Brother Fu had come with them and were also terrified. Anyone would be scared if they saw An Jiuyue splatter powder on their brother.
Fortunately, this lady was from their second brother's household. Otherwise, they feared their sixth brother would die!
An Jiuyue stopped in her tracks and asked Yan Qin coldly, "Where's Qian Jiyun?"
"Master just returned from the royal court assembly. He's at Qiongzhi Courtyard…"
An Jiuyue had had enough before Yan Qin could finish speaking. She tugged at Gong Cheng and dragged him into the residence.
"Mmph, mmph!" Gong Cheng was suffering in silence.
