454 Only Told the Truth
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.
He was from an aristocratic family and knew some martial arts. However, he could not even withstand a single move from An Jiuyue.
And now, for some reason, he could not even speak.
I’m just too unlucky… No, Second brother shouldn’t have brought An Jiuyue to the capital! She’s causing friction in my relationship with Second Brother and bullying me!
He looked pleadingly at Eldest Brother Yan and Third Brother Fu, who had come with him and An Jiuyue.
Unfortunately, they did not even look at him. They looked at Yan Qin.
“Third Prince, Lord Fu, Miss An and Gong…” Yan Qin turned around and looked at An Jiuyue and Gong Cheng, who had already entered the residence, before turning back to look at Eldest Brother Yan and Third Brother Fu.
“It’s nothing. Gong Cheng only told Miss An the truth,” Eldest Brother Yan said calmly.
“The truth?” Yan Qin did not seem to believe him.
I heard about what happened that day. Young Master Gong has a bad impression of Mistress. His “truth” probably didn’t sound too good.
Is Mistress looking for Master to ask him to teach Young Master Gong a lesson to vent her hatred?
No, Mistress gritted her teeth when she mentioned Master’s name. I don’t think she’s asking him to seek justice for her.
It looks like… she has a feud with Master?! How is that possible?
“What truth?” he asked.
“What’s the name of the children Prince Zhan Yun brought back?” Eldest Brother Yan asked instead of answering.
“Your Highness, the eldest young master is Qian Yizheng, and the second young master is Qian Yirong,” Yan Qin replied.
He had never met the third, fourth, and fifth young masters either. There was no need to mention their names. He would talk about it when the Third Prince and the others found out.
“Mhm.” Eldest Brother Yan nodded.
These were good names. Clearly, Qian Jiyun did not name them. He could not think of such nice names.
“Well…” Yan Qin wanted to ask if An Jiuyue’s rage was caused by the truth she had learned.
“Miss An heard that Zheng’er and Rong’er are not Jiyun’s biological children,” Eldest Brother Yan continued calmly, as if he knew what Yan Qin wanted to ask.
Yan Qin was shocked. He would have been terrified if they were not standing before him.
What did he say? So Gong Cheng revealed the secret that Master has worked so hard to keep from Mistress!
“It’s all over now. Why is Young Master Gong spouting nonsense?”
