Its me.
Hearing that voice, Nan Xins face turned pale. She turned her head and saw Shangguan Die stood there. Even though Shangguan Dies status had fallen, it was still the truth that Shangguan Die was a very brave warrior with her mouth.
Unlike Nan Hua, who was too lazy to argue with Nan Xin, Shangguan Die liked to argue with other people. Shangguan Die also used to argue with Princess Yue to the point that the two of them were termed as mortal enemies.
Even with her status had fallen, Shangguan Family still doted on her.
They didnt seem to care about the fact that her face was disfigured as Shangguan Family was trying their best to keep her in the house. They were also trying hard to find someone of good status who wanted to marry her. Her mothers family also supported her greatly as if she was their sole bloodline and not Shangguan Yi.
First Young Miss Shangguan, Nan Xin quickly greeted the other party.
Shangguan Die nodded then sat down in the only seat beside Nan Hua on this table. She looked at Nan Xin up and down. I never know that a mere concubine daughter can be wearing clothes this bright.
Today, Nan Xin was dressed in pink embroidered dress. It had cloud pattern and looked very suitable for a young budding girl like her. However, it was indeed very bright and fancy for a mere concubine daughter. If the one who wore this type of clothes was the main daughter, no one would say anything.
Nan Xins face turned pale. My Mother loves me greatly, so she allowed me to wear this dress.
Is that so? Shangguan Die chuckled. It seems that Second Young Miss Nan is very magnanimous and didnt have any qualm to call another woman as your mother so fluently. If one didnt know, they will think that Madam Qu was your birth mother and not.whats that womans name?
It was the rule that a concubine child could only call their fathers main wife as their mother. It was a harsh rule but every concubine child could only do it. They could only call their birth mother with mother when they were in private.
In front of others, they had to call their fathers main wife as mother.
Nan Xin smiled. Mother had taken care of me very well, so naturally Ill call her as my mother.
Shangguan Die was still smiling, yet her expression seemed a bit harsh considering that her face was scarred beyond recognition. The veil only served to cover up a part of her face and it didnt include the areas around her eyes.
I see. You seem to respect your mother a lot, but why cant I see the same for your older sister?
Thats.
Or are you saying that youre flashing your dirty linen for the world to see because you care for your sister? I didnt even recall hearing Young Miss Nan ever say that she didnt like her family. Shangguan Die tilted her head. Oh, I might never hear it but I did think that its indeed a plausible thing.
After all, there are rumors that the one who killed her own mother is the current Madam Qu.
First Young Miss Shangguan, please mind your words! Nan Xin quickly snapped. Mother will not do such thing. Please dont spread such groundless rumors.
This rumor had existed for a long time, especially during the time when Madam Nan passed away. At that time, it was also because of such rumor that Nan Shu Cheng failed to get his long awaited promotion.
And because of some other similar rumors he was downgraded and wreak havoc in his house.
Whether what I said is the truth or not, I think you know very well, Second Young Miss Nan, Shangguan Die threw the same words that Nan Hua just used.
At this moment, Nan Xins face was flushed. It was clear that she was a bit flustered and tried to compose herself. However, it was clear that this matter had affected her greatly, making her unable to control her emotion well.
The court had already decided that Madam Qu was responsible for a certain village. Shangguan Die might be reckless, but she had brains and knew how to use it no matter how many times she had gotten into trouble because of that. Her family also kept on supporting her as they pampered her greatly.
Even now, that attitude never changed.
And she was someone who didnt usually spout lies because her family intelligence network was enough to let her be the first one to know about many things. The accident with that village was one of the few things that Shangguan Die knew.
Who knew whether she had the courage to do something else aside from that. Shangguan Die shrugged, acting nonchalant.
However, Nan Xin really couldnt calm down. When the accident happened, she was only around 6 to 7 years old, so she didnt really understand what happened back then. However, she still knew that the incident was one that couldnt be underestimated at all.
She also knew that her birth mother was involved.
As for Concubine Qu she might be very well the cause because Nan Shu Cheng pampered Concubine Qu greatly.
Wait, Concubine Qu was now called as Madam Qu.
She refused to be called as Madam Nan because this title used to be referring to someone else. The other noble ladies also refused to call her with this title as many of them still gave her mocking gaze.
The Nan Family that used to be feared by everyone was slowly being forgotten with Nan Shu Chengs promotions line seemed to have halted greatly.
Thats just a rumor. Nan Xins face was rigid.
Shangguan Die turned around, not wanting to face Nan Xin anymore. Right, everything is just rumor because of how much Official Nan loved his new wife. Hes even willing to suffer the beatings for him to have his concubine rose in status to be his legal wife.
