Nan Hou Xiang watched as his mother turned happy and felt a bit helpless. While he could give some advice and also some schemes, 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?
Theyll arrive in another two weeks time. The servant bowed at Nan Hou Xiang.
2 weeks.
Nan Hou Xiang felt that it was too long, but he couldnt really rush them because there was nothing that he could personally offer at this moment. After thinking for a moment, he nodded. Fine, they better hurry.
His mother had grown even more unstable without someone to advise her. Nan Hou Xiang couldnt always be present for his mother, so he hoped that the Qu Family would be able to provide some help for him.
On the other hand, Concubine Mei 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 moment, 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 seemed that she didnt care that some of the areas would be lacking in staffs whatsoever and only prioritized changing them.
How annoying.
Concubine Mei was determined to report this matter to Nan Shu Cheng and also arranged the servant to revoke Madam Qus order. What a joke. She still needed most of these people to help her.
Mother? Nan Xin noticed the crease on her mothers forehead and couldnt help but feel some worry. If something happened to the household residence at this moment, all the blame would fall on Concubine Mei. Nan Xin didnt want to see such thing happen. She was worried that her mother would be in bad situation.
Its fine, Xiner. Concubine Mei 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 Xins 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 didnt understand why she should visit Nan Hua. Not to mention, she didnt really like Nan Hua in the slightest bit and even seeing the other party for a second caused her mood to plummet.
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 Qus movement. Concubine Mei 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 time.
She needed more time and more chances in order to take Nan Shu Cheng away from that annoying woman named Madam Qu.
Nan Xin pursed her lips. I might not be successful, Mother. She didnt like to be around me.
At least, try it. Your brother couldnt get that close to her because of his position, so the only one who have a chance is you. Concubine Mei didnt 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 Mei had some impure motives in trying to get close to Nan Hua.
Ill try. Nan Xin nodded obediently.
Good girl. Concubine Mei patted Nan Xin tenderly.
Even though Nan Xin didnt 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 something to help her mother.
In the evening, Nan Huas side.
Nan Hua looked at Nan Xin in front of her with an indifferent expression. She was currently embroidering, making some flower pattern.
Is there anything I can do to help you, Second Sister? Nan Hua asked in an emotionless voice.
Nan Xins 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 didnt do anything to offend me, so why should you ask for forgiveness?
Nan Xins heart jolted when she heard the long sentences Nan Hua uttered. In the past, Nan Hua always only refute her in short sentences and didnt 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 Xins face hardened slightly. Mother instructed me to come to you, First Sister. I hope youre not offended by what I do in the past.
Nan Hua didnt answer immediately and lowered her head, continuing her embroidery. Her skill was pretty good even though it couldnt be considered as an expert.
After waiting for some time, Nan Xin couldnt help but asked, First Sister, are you still blaming Father for what had happened?
Nan Huas hand paused as light flickered in her eyes. She didnt want to blame them because it was simply a waste of time. Besides, the one person who should be angry at them was no longer here.
The original Nan Hua was no longer here.
