She felt that what her grandfather asked would be unnecessary since the one who would break the agreement first was Long Qian Xing. It would soon be the time for the female lead to come to the Capital City and come to Long Family Residence.

The female lead would only come as a guest for the time being, but before long, she would be the real mistress of the residence.

Was there really any need for Nan Hua to do anything when things would develop this way?

However, Nan Hua didn’t say anything to her grandfather.

There was no way her grandfather would believe her words over something that had not happened yet.

Besides…

There was something within her heart that made her feel slightly uncomfortable. It was just Nan Hua didn’t understand why.

“I’m heading to the Palace to report.” Old Master Nan sighed. “Those people are going to make this old bone overwork once more.”

“Grandfather hadn’t fully recovered.”

“Of course I have!” Old Master Nan snorted. “The medicine you give to me is very good, so I naturally have already recovered!”

Nan Hua was expressionless as she pointed at her grandfather’s leg. She knew that he was mostly fine, but it still didn’t do good for him to overexert it in any condition. There was no way she would want to risk her grandfather’s wound opening again.

*cough*

“I’ll… use cane when I visit the palace later.”

Seeing Nan Hua’s stare, Old Master Nan relented. He really wanted to give a good bashing to those officials. He came to the Capital City only to take his granddaughter back, alright?

It has nothing to do with coming to the palace and see their boring face!

In the end, Old Master Nan returned to his residence first and waited for Nan Hua to change clothes. Calculating how fast Nan Hua changed her clothes, Old Master Nan was utterly speechless.

This little brat was really very well trained.

He didn’t think that his other grandchildren would be as fast as her when it came to change clothes.

“Come on, wear your mask properly.”

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. The silver mask on her face was naturally worn very well. She didn’t need her grandfather’s reminder for her to wear the mask properly. There was no way she would allow anyone to see her real face.

With her striking similarities with Nan Luo, anyone who saw her would definitely link her with Nan Hua.

At that time, trouble would arise.

The two of them rode the carriage and headed to the Imperial Palace. Looking at the grand palace that was still filled with red decoration, Nan Hua pondered for a moment. The happy atmosphere was still there, but the hidden danger always existed.

“Grandfather, why do you want me to come?”

“There are some things that you might want to see.” Old Master Nan looked at Nan Hua. She was no longer as small as before, but he still felt like he wanted her to come close to him so that he could hug her. He missed her greatly and wished that she would be the lovable granddaughter as she has always been.

“Yes?”

“I have brought Nan Luo before, so it’s time for you to know… There are a lot of people who are waiting for Nan Family downfall.”

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and acknowledged softly. She naturally knew that there were a lot of people who wanted Nan Family to fall. After all, Old Master Nan’s position was one to be envied about.

Besides, seeing a tree being so tall above the tree line was very annoying.

A lot people wouldn’t like to see Nan Family being so powerful and capable above everyone else. However, Nan Luo was still young and a lot of people didn’t really see him as a threat.

The only one they saw as a threat right now is Old Master Nan.

The one and only grand duke in Fei Yang Kingdom.

“Yes, Grandfather.”

“Tu Family is one of them as you might have known. Their grudge is not directly to us but to your mother’s family. The others are mostly some who are also against His Majesty sitting on the throne.”

Hearing that, Nan Hua’s eyes flashed. She looked at her grandfather. “Have you shown your stance, Grandfather?”

“It’s not a secret that I was close to Emperor Huan back then.” Old Master Nan let out a bitter laugh. “To be exact, the three of us were.”

Three of us.

There was no need for more explanation because Nan Hua knew that Old Master Nan was talking about Old Master Shangguan and Old Master Long. The three of them were known as the three famous great general of Fei Yang Kingdom.

Even though there were other generals, the name of these three basically rang across the six kingdoms as invincible.

It was also thanks to them that Fei Yang Kingdom was able to expand their territory and strengthen their military. However, it was also because they were capable that there were a lot of people who wanted to see them fall.

Old Master Long fell first.

Followed by Old Master Shangguan.

Only Old Master Nan was left. But it was not like he would stay at the frontline for long anymore. It was no longer his age.

His time had passed.

“Do you think it’s too early, Hua’er?”

“No, not at all, Grandfather.” Nan Hua looked at her grandfather with solemn gaze. Her grandfather had already worked hard for his entire life. It was time for him to put down everything he had been working and rest.

She and Nan Luo would be the one to take over.

Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter and smiled. His grandson had already started to take over the force under him little by little and showed his capability. His granddaughter built her own force but still supported them.

He felt gratified when he thought about it.

The Heaven is kind to him.

Even though he had such a failure for a son, his grandchildren were all very capable.
