“Go take him down!” he ordered the servants behind him.
The servants heeded his orders, raising their arms and rolling up their sleeves immediately. They charged at him, full of dash.
But before they could even reach Qian Jiyun, Yan Nuo emerged out of nowhere and slammed them to the ground. None of them could get up.
Ministry Councilor He was shocked. There was no way he wouldn’t be.
When did An Jiuyue have a man by her side? She even has a guard! A powerful guard, no less!
How am I supposed to kidnap An Jiuyue? My plans are doomed.
After taking a deep breath, he decided to take An Jiuyue’s son first. He was sure she would marry into his family as long as he had her son.
It was only a matter of time.
He took a deep breath and asked Qian Jiyun, “Who… Who are you?”
Qian Jiyun ignored him and continued chopping the firewood. He did not even spare them a glance.
Ministry Councilor He had never been so angry before. He was about to explode.
But with all his servants on the ground, he did not dare to do anything to Qian Jiyun. He could only vent his anger on the people next to him.
He glared at Aunt Wang. “Hurry up and get An Jiuyue to hand over her son!”
“Alright, alright. I’ll look for An Jiuyue now. Ministry Councilor He, please wait a moment.” Aunt Wang quickly acceded.
She did not expect to see two men, whom she had met before, at An Jiuyue’s house.
Suddenly, she recalled that there was someone next to An Jiuyue when she ran toward her after breaking free from Qian Yiyun.
Was Qian Jiyun already here back then?
Her face turned pale at the thought of this possibility.
However, it was useless to think too much now. She already accepted the money, and An Jiuyue’s son must be handed over.
Hence, she mustered her courage and walked toward Qian Jiyun.
“Young Master Qian, why are you here? Where’s Jiuyue?”
Qian Jiyun continued to ignore her. She grew embarrassed.
I’m older and considered his elder, but he didn’t give me any face. How Infuriating!
But that’s okay. I’m not here for Qian Jiyun anyway. Since he’s not responding, I will look for An Jiuyue myself.
She glanced at the winding staircase under the treehouse and walked up.
This was not the first time she had gone to An Jiuyue’s house. She was not afraid that An Jiuyue would do anything to her as Ministry Councilor He had brought many of his men with him.
But after taking a few steps up the stairs, she was quickly sent flying with a kick to the chest.
“Ah!” she shrieked, landing on the ground with a thud.
Qian Jiyun finally did something besides chopping firewood. He walked over quickly and happened to meet face to face with An Jiuyue, who had just arrived downstairs.
He took An Yilu from her arms and threw him to Yan Nuo.
Yan Nuo caught An Yilu in his arms, and they exchanged blank stares silently.
