”That’s weird, then.” Madam Qu looked into the quarter. She furrowed her eyebrows. “Such a big commotion and yet, First Young Miss Nan is not here?”

”Are you looking for me?”

The moment everyone heard that voice, they all turned their head. However, Madam Qu could feel her blood turned cold because the direction of the voice was the opposite of where she was supposed to be.

Turning their head, they could see Nan Hua stood at a distance away with the maidservants around her. A veil was covering her beautiful face, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes looking at the group of people in front of her.

”Where did you go?” Nan Shu Cheng asked.

”I was taking a walk at the small pond at the back.” Nan Hua looked at her father. “Am I not allowed to go there?”

”You can go.” Nan Shu Cheng knew that place and even though it was not far from here, it shouldn’t take her that long to reach her quarter back. “Why did you take so long to go back here?”

”That’s because there are guests. I have to wait for my maidservants to fetch veil for me,” Nan Hua answered slowly, her voice was pleasing to the ear. She walked unhurriedly towards her maidservant who kowtowed on the ground. “Stand up, you didn’t do anything wrong, Chu Yue.”

”Yes, Miss.”

”She beat up my son!” Official Kai shouted.

”And who try to trespass into my quarter in the first place?” Nan Hua asked in a lazy tone. She looked at the group of people in front of her before her dark obsidian eyes landed on Second Young Master Kai, yet her words were directed at someone else. “Are you trying to destroy other people’s reputation, Official Kai?”

Official Kai’s mouth opened wide, but he couldn’t find any words to refute it. If not because his son was indeed in the wrong, he would have already tried to fight back with all of his power. He clutched his chest and waved his hand. “We’re going back.”

”But…” Madam Kai was unwilling to just leave like this.

”We’re leaving now!” Official Kai looked at Nan Shu Cheng. “We apologize for having caused such a commotion here. As an apology, I’ll send some present for you, Official Nan.”

”I don’t need it.” Nan Shu Cheng furrowed his eyebrows.

Official Kai let out a dry laugh. “Please accept it or I won’t feel at ease.”

”Very well.”

”Good.” Official Kai buried the hatred in his eyes as he turned his body around and beckoned for his servant to drag his son back. When he got back, he would make sure to discipline this disappointing son of his.

At the same time, he had to make sure that Nan Shu Cheng paid for this.

As for Great General Nan?

He was not so stupid so as to touch that great man. It would be more than enough if he could make things difficult for Nan Shu Cheng.

Madam Kai pursed her lips but she still gave her farewell to Madam Qu and the others. She still wanted to push the blame to Madam Qu because she understood that this was the scheme of this annoying person. However, there was no prove.

The maidservant was nowhere to be seen.

There were also a lot of eyes who saw Second Young Master Kai tried to enter First Young Miss Nan’s Quarter.

Try.

That one word was more than enough for them to dispel any other thoughts. Besides, it would be more likely that the piece of news about how Second Young Master Kai was beaten because he was thought as a thief spread.

Where would she keep her face then?

Madam Kai was furious.

”This…” Madam Qu wanted to keep Madam Kai back, but she didn’t have any solid reason. From the moment Nan Hua appeared from the opposite direction, she couldn’t give the excuse that Nan Hua was trying to delay things. From the way the servants were looking at each other, it was clear that Nan Hua was saying the truth.

Too many eyewitnesses.

Nan Hua looked at her father after that farce was over. “If there’s nothing else, I would like to go back and rest, Father.”

”Wait, your servants are too excessive.”

”Whether they’re excessive or not, you should know it very well since you’re here to witness it.” Nan Hua glanced at Madam Qu. “Is it wrong to treat trespasser as thief?”

”That’s…”

”No, it’s not.” Nan Shu Cheng cut off before Madam Qu could say anything.

Nan Hua looked at Nan Shu Cheng. “I’ll punish my own servant in accordance to what they have done. For now, let me rest first, Father.”

”Yes… you may go and rest.” Nan Shu Cheng waved his hand then looked at Madam Qu. If he still didn’t understand what had happened just now, he would be the biggest idiot in the world. “Qu Fei Jiao, come with me.”

Madam Qu’s heart thumped.

Whenever Nan Shu Cheng called her with her full name, it meant that Nan Shu Cheng was terribly angry. At that time, there was no good things that would wait her anymore.

”…Yes.”

Nan Shu Cheng snorted and walked away.

Nan Hua watched as Nan Shu Cheng left while Madam Qu was fidgeting but ended up leaving. She looked at the two of them as her eyes flickered.

It seemed that Nan Shu Cheng was not so stupid as she first thought.

But then again, he was still a man that had fallen into traps so easily like that. It was really not something that could be erased so easily.

”Miss…” Chu Yue was a bit nervous.

”You did good.” Nan Hua glanced at Mu Yan behind her. “Clean up everything. Don’t leave any trace at all.”

”Yes, Miss.” Mu Yan had stayed with Nan Hua for a longer time. She naturally understood what Nan Hua wanted.

Chu Yue blinked her eyes. She was simply glad that she had done what her Miss instructed her well.
