Nan Hou Xiang watched as his mother turned happy and felt a bit helpless. While he could give so advice and also so sches, but his thinking was limited because he was not directly involved.
He decided to let it be and walked out.
"Have the Qu Family responded?"
"They'll arrive in another two weeks' ti." The servant bowed at Nan Hou Xiang.
2 weeks.
Nan Hou Xiang felt that it was too long, but he couldn't really rush them because there was nothing that he could personally offer at this mont. After thinking for a mont, he nodded. "Fine, they better hurry."
His mother had grown even more unstable without soone to advise her. Nan Hou Xiang couldn't always be present for his mother, so he hoped that the Qu Family would be able to provide so help for him.
…
On the other hand, Concubine i was looking at the list of servants in front of her and felt another headache. Even though Madam Qu only held the power for a very brief mont, she had already eliminated half of the newly appointed servants.
What a high efficiency.
She changed them bit by bit through the past two weeks yet Madam Qu was even faster. It seed that she didn't care that so of the areas would be lacking in staffs whatsoever and only prioritized changing them.
How annoying.
Concubine i was determined to report this matter to Nan Shu Cheng and also arranged the servant to revoke Madam Qu's order. What a joke. She still needed most of these people to help her.
"Mother?" Nan Xin noticed the crease on her mother's forehead and couldn't help but feel so worry. If sothing happened to the household residence at this mont, all the bla would fall on Concubine i. Nan Xin didn't want to see such thing happen. She was worried that her mother would be in bad situation.
"It's fine, Xin'er." Concubine i forced as mile out of her face. She looked tired yet she wanted to do this because this was the only way she could solve her problem. And with her having a child of Nan Shu Cheng, her position in the household was not in any case that low to the point that she had nothing to contend with Madam Qu.
However, she still had to be careful.
"Is there anything that I need to do, Mother?" Nan Xin asked.
"There is."
Nan Xin's eyes lit up. "What is it, Mother?"
"You can go and visit Nan Hua."
Visit Nan Hua?
Hearing that order, Nan Xin was thoroughly confused. She didn't understand why she should visit Nan Hua. Not to ntion, she didn't really like Nan Hua in the slightest bit and even seeing the other party for a second caused her mood to plumt.
Now she had to search for her by herself?
"The situation is unstable and there are a few who stay firm without being affected by Madam Qu's movent." Concubine i was not so stupid. She had been able to survive in this residence and protected her daughter because she was quite sharp.
However, it was not enough all this ti.
She needed more ti and more chances in order to take Nan Shu Cheng away from that annoying woman nad Madam Qu.
Nan Xin pursed her lips. "I might not be successful, Mother. She didn't like to be around ."
"At least, try it. Your brother couldn't get that close to her because of his position, so the only one who have a chance is you." Concubine i didn't mind trying it by herself, but it would cause things to complicate further.
And Nan Hua might not even want to get close to her because she knew that Concubine i had so impure motives in trying to get close to Nan Hua.
"I'll try." Nan Xin nodded obediently.
"Good girl." Concubine i patted Nan Xin tenderly.
Even though Nan Xin didn't want to do it because she knew that her other siblings were all her enemies, she still decided that it would be better for her to try to get close to one of them. At the very least, she would be able to do sothing to help her mother.
…
In the evening, Nan Hua's side.
Nan Hua looked at Nan Xin in front of her with an indifferent expression. She was currently embroidering, making so flower pattern.
"Is there anything I can do to help you, Second Sister?" Nan Hua asked in an emotionless voice.
Nan Xin's eyes flickered. "First Sister, I want to apologize for offending you in the past."
"Apologize?" Nan Hua glanced at Nan Xin, her dark obsidian eyes were cold and indifferent. "Second Sister must be joking. You didn't do anything to offend , so why should you ask for forgiveness?"
Nan Xin's heart jolted when she heard the long sentences Nan Hua uttered. In the past, Nan Hua always only refute her in short sentences and didn't even bother to talk with her. As it turned out, Nan Hua could also speak so eloquently?
Probably not as good as many others, but it was more than enough to make sure that she could defend herself.
Thinking of so many things she talked with the nobles, Nan Xin's face hardened slightly. "Mother instructed to co to you, First Sister. I hope you're not offended by what I do in the past."
Nan Hua didn't answer imdiately and lowered her head, continuing her embroidery. Her skill was pretty good even though it couldn't be considered as an expert.
After waiting for so ti, Nan Xin couldn't help but asked, "First Sister, are you still blaming Father for what had happened?"
Nan Hua's hand paused as light flickered in her eyes. She didn't want to bla them because it was simply a waste of ti. Besides, the one person who should be angry at them was no longer here.
The original Nan Hua… was no longer here.
