Go and invite your daughter to come out.
Nalan Dijiujiu slowly stepped down from the carriage.
Baili Gang and Qian Yueshuang wore ingratiating smiles as they immediately hurried forward to respectfully welcome Nalan Dijiu inside.
After escorting Nalan Dijiu into the main hall, they promptly ordered fragrant tea to be served. Baili Gang was just about to exchange pleasantries with Nalan Dijiu.
To their ecstatic surprise, however, Nalan Dijiu cut straight to the point and said to the couple, "This Prince did not come to your estate today to sip tea and chat."
"Yes, yes. Your Highness the Ninth Prince's gracious presence must be for some important matter."
Though Baili Gang was inwardly consumed by extreme rapture, in the presence of Nalan Dijiu, he dared not show anything less than absolute respect. Naturally, he did not dare let his inner ecstasy show on his face.
"This Prince is here today for the daughter of General Pingnan. Go, call your daughter out."
Nalan Dijiu stated his purpose directly. He had no wish to keep his little fairy waiting for too long, nor did he want to delay her secluded cultivation time by even a moment.
Therefore, he had to resolve this matter today.
Hearing Nalan Dijiu say this, Qian Yueshuang and Baili Gang understood instantly.
Oh heavens!
To think that it was truly as that dead girl Jin had said!
The Ninth Prince had actually come this time for her sake!
This was simply a lump of gold dropping from the heavens—an unexpected stroke of sheer fortune!
Baili Gang was even more overjoyed and excited.
Although he tried his utmost to maintain a composed demeanor in front of Nalan Dijiu, at this very moment, he simply could not suppress the joy beaming across his face.
Baili Guishan also wore a jubilant expression.
He had always cherished this younger sister Jin the most. Now it seemed that he had truly not pampered this sister in vain! Everything was worth it!
"Wife, go quickly and invite our daughter out."
With a face full of joy, Baili Gang urged Qian Yueshuang.
"Yes, yes."
Qian Yueshuang was so excited that her legs trembled, making it difficult for her to walk steadily.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, could it be that my lowly daughter has offended Your Highness in some way? Is that why Your Highness has come specially to hold us accountable?"
Yet Baili Gang was no fool.
He managed to rein in his ecstatic expression, replacing it with a look of anxious worry as he cautiously questioned Nalan Dijiu.
"Hold you accountable?"
Nalan Dijiu, however, shook his head.
"General Pingnan must not speak thus. If the General's daughter were to learn of this, she would surely be angry with this Prince. This Prince has no desire to incur your daughter's wrath!"
Nalan Dijiu replied in such a manner.
How could he possibly come to hold his little fairy accountable?
He cherished his little fairy, he pampered his little fairy far too much to ever do such a thing!
"General Pingnan, you likely do not know, but our Prince coming in person to your esteemed estate today is the greatest fortune for your General's household!"
The attendant by Nalan Dijiu's side said to Baili Gang with a smiling face.
Hearing Nalan Dijiu's words and seeing his attendant treat him with such courtesy, the heavy stone that had been suspended in Baili Gang's heart finally dropped securely back into place.
It seemed that his glorious future was an absolute certainty!
Having secured the backing of the Ninth Prince, a lifetime of supreme wealth and honor was within easy reach!
Beaming with joy, Qian Yueshuang went in person to invite her precious daughter, Baili Jin, to come out.
