The sudden noise in the study scared Old Man Li so much that he trembled violently. He immediately stood up tremblingly, trying to straighten his slightly bent back. He even slowed down his breathing, for fear of making the slightest sound and upsetting the gentleman inside.

The gloating look on the corner of his mouth had long since disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, he just wanted to go back and guard his gate as soon as possible.

Fortunately, not long after, the voice of Jiu Qian Sui was heard from the study. It was as low and cold as ever, without a trace of emotion.

"Let them in."

"Yes!" Old man Li answered with a bow, then ran away at such a speed that he almost left an afterimage.

He came to the six people waiting at the door, panting, holding his stomach and gasping for breath, and pointed a finger into the mansion: "Hurry, hurry in!"

Don't make Jiuqiansui wait impatiently and blame him for being slow in delivering the message.

Nuan'an, Nuanning and the four bridge decks all showed expressions of emotion, either obvious or implicit.

In the past, I just thought that this old man Li was a bully who looked down on others, but I never thought that when he heard that they had returned from trouble, he would be so anxious to pass on the message for them.

Especially Qiao Da, who looked at Old Man Li with a guilty look, nodded sincerely and said thank you, which frightened Old Man Li so much that he jumped back three feet...

After getting permission, it only took a moment for the six people to appear in the study.

They stood in a row with their heads lowered, and no one dared to look at the Nine Thousand Year Old Man sitting behind the desk.

Fu Jiuli held the pen in his hand and with just a few simple strokes, the woman who had been haunting his dreams appeared on the paper with a charming smile.

However, before the smile in his eyes could fade away, he saw the long stream of nonsense under the woman's beautiful face.

His face darkened, he put down his pen, closed the folder with a snap, and picked up the inkstone beside him and pressed it on top.

Then he looked up at the six people, his eyes as cold and indifferent as always: "You made her angry."

"No, Your Majesty," Qiao Da replied with a bow.

"Then why doesn't she want you anymore?"

Qiao Da: ...He doesn’t dare to say it.

But some people dare.

Qiao Er was furious when he heard Jiu Qiansui's words. It was clearly Jiu Qiansui who made the master angry, so why did he say it was them? And he said it with such confidence, as if it were true!

He knew he should hold it back, but when he tried, he just couldn't.

There was compassion in his eyes: "It's not that you don't want us anymore."

Fu Jiuli's gaze fell on him.

Qiao Er tried his best and Qiao San beside him couldn't hold on any more.

"She doesn't want you anymore!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire study became more than a little colder.

Everyone looked at their noses with their eyes, and their hearts with their noses, not daring to breathe.

Qiao Er finally couldn't hold on any longer, his body trembled, and he knelt down: "Nine Thousand Years Lord, I know I was wrong, please punish me."

Fu Jiuli: "Where did you go wrong?"

There was a slight glimmer of hope in his eyes. Was Qiao Er lying?

However, he was wrong. Qiao Er stiffened his neck and said, "Subordinates shouldn't tell the truth!"

"Qiao Er, stop talking nonsense!" Qiao Da scolded and knelt beside Qiao Er: "Nine Thousand Years Old, you know that Qiao Er has always been unreliable, don't bother with him..."

Everyone knelt down.

Fu Jiuli's heart plummeted to the bottomless depths.

It’s true that Qiao Er is unreliable, but he never lies.

The glimmer of hope in Fu Jiuli's eyes vanished.

His eyes swept over the six people in front of him, finally landing on Nuan Ning, who was kneeling at the edge: "You speak."

Nuan Ning clenched her palms and lowered her head, saying, "The master said that she will be getting married soon, and it is not appropriate to keep the person you sent, so she asked us to come back..."

"And..." She pulled out something carefully wrapped in brocade from her sleeve and raised her hands above her head. "This is the item you gave to the master earlier. She also asked her subordinate to return it to you."

silence.

Deathly silence.

The entire study seemed to be frozen, cold and quiet, and no one spoke.

Nuan Ning's hands, which were holding the things, were almost stiff. She gritted her teeth and said boldly, "Since you want the master to marry, and she has obeyed your words and is ready to marry, it would be unreasonable for her to keep the things and the person you gave her."

"Otherwise, how will her future husband think of her? And how will others view her?"

Nuan Ning had tears in her eyes. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head deeply and said no more.

The Ninth Prince is a heart of stone and will make his master sad!

My master is right. We should torture him and make him sad and upset for once...
