Nan Si Qiao was stunned.
She was silent.
Her husband, General Feng, has been going to the battlefield for a long ti and Nan Si Qiao naturally knew very well what her husband's aspiration is. It was also because of this that she chose to support him.
Even though it was lonely at ho, she didn't want to let him abandon the chance to fulfill his dream and beco the famous general just because she wanted his company.
And just like that, years passed.
Now, the two of them were no longer young.
Nan Si Qiao had always been worried for her husband because he was at the place that she couldn't see nor visit. She could only stay at ho, praying for him, wishing for his well being and hoped he could return ho safely.
Day after day, weeks after weeks, years after years.
Continuously like that.
The last ti she heard the news of his defeat, she almost felt her soul was leaving her body because she was worried for him. Yet, there was nothing that Nan Si Qiao could do but to ask for news and inquire about his well being.
Thankfully, even though General Feng lost in the battle, he was alive and well.
It was just that after this incident, it would be hard for General Feng to continue thriving on the battlefield. After all, his loss had made so people felt that he was no longer suitable to beco the general.
But before these people could raise their opinion, General Feng had already submitted his resignation.
The reason?
He was getting older and wanted to spend the rest of his life with his family.
If Nan Hua was not wrong, General Feng, Feng Qian Shao, was already close to 50 years old. Even if he was not as old as Old Master Nan, but for a general who fought on the frontline, it was already advanced in age.
Besides, except for so generals who were more of the strategy type who would stay at the back, the rest of the generals usually fought on the frontline. These types of generals would find it difficult to advance on the battlefield if they had to stay at the rear and didn't lead their soldiers directly.
In this way, Feng Qian Shao's resignation didn't cause many concern.
In many people's eyes, Feng Qian Shao was only one of the generals of Fei Yang Kingdom who was about to retire because he was already old enough.
"He'll co back?" Nan Si Qiao asked slowly.
Old Master Nan was paying close attention to his daughter's expression. If it was Nan Hua, he was sure that the girl didn't care too much. After all, he had heard that Nan Hua sent soone to make sure Feng Qian Shao could return safely.
However, Nan Hua didn't really help Feng Qian Shao in his battle.
She was not his nanny.
At best, she would make sure that even if sothing did happen, it would not cause Feng Qian Shao to lose his life.
The one whom Old Master Nan paid attention was his daughter. Because he knew very well that Nan Si Qiao cared greatly for her husband and even though Nan Si Qiao wanted to spend more ti with him, she also respected his decision.
"Yes," Old Master Nan replied.
"Is he alright?" Nan Si Qiao asked.
The last piece of news that made splash about Feng Qian Shao before this resignation was the victory he helped General Xing and the other two generals achieved on the river in Shi Long Kingdom's territory. At that ti, he had made a splash and caused many people to pay attention to it.
But after that one battle, Feng Qian Shao barely made any splash.
Even if he did, the news didn't travel back to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City and remained at the border where he was located.
Old Master Nan smiled. "Don't worry, he's safe and sound."
"Good." Nan Si Qiao took a deep breath and there was a smile on her face. No matter how much ti has passed, what mattered for Nan Si Qiao was that her husband would return soon to accompany her.
As for what had happened there, she would ask him personally.
What his plan for the future was, she would also ask him.
"Alright, you can continue with your preparation. It's almost ti for the tea party," Old Master Nan said and dismissed the two of them.
He also knew about the invitation from Empress Xiao, but he didn't care too much. In his opinion, none of these won could pose a threat to his granddaughter. Rather than worrying about her, it would be better for him to think about what else he should add for Nan Hua's marriage.
He was determined to make it as grand as possible.
After all, with Nan Hua's status as the young miss of Nan Family, there was no problem even if the marriage was really grand.
"Yes, Father."
"Yes, Grandpa."
The two of them walked out and Nan Si Qiao sent Nan Hua back to her courtyard to dress up.
So for the next incense stick of ti, Nan Hua was preparing herself and the maidservants helped her to dress up.
The dress they picked was one in light blue color with several flowers embroidery. It looked very beautiful and with so hairpins and so light jewelries, Nan Hua looked very
beautiful.
Even though she was dressed so simply, Nan Hua's breathtaking appearance was more than enough to cause people to turn their head to look in her direction and sighed deeply. Because they knew very well that Nan Hua's beauty was more than enough to cause disaster if it was seen by the wrong person.
It was just that, the people around Nan Hua was sure of one thing...
The disaster would co to those who coveted her because Nan Hua would not let herself be taken advantage of.
