Chapter 480 Nan Family Residence

"I will not dare to do that, Father." Nan Shu Cheng felt sweat gathered on his back. He forced a smile. "She's my daughter, I'll naturally care for her."

Old Master Nan snorted.

"How about Nan Luo?" Nan Shu Cheng only heard that Nan Hua would go back to his residence but there were no words about his son.

"He's going to the battlefield."

"Battlefield? Father…"

"He's not going to become an official." Old Master Nan looked at his son with a fierce gaze.

Nan Shu Cheng's words stuck in his throat. He knew that the glare his father gave to him was a warning. It warned him not to try to do anything to his son in order to make Nan Luo followed his steps.

With no other choice, Nan Shu Cheng could only grit his teeth.

"Nan Luo is indeed better to become a soldier," Madam Qu interjected slowly. She stood behind Nan Shu Cheng, acting as if she was a kind and loving mother.

"I didn't ask you."

Madam Qu's smile stiffened, but she still tried to keep her appearance. She knew that Old Master Nan didn't like her, but she didn't expect that he would not even give her any face when she talked to him. Did he want everyone to know how bad his relationship with his daughter in law was?

She felt displeased.

Nan Shu Cheng waved his hand to block Madam Qu. He looked at his father. "I understand, Father. Please don't mind her."

Old Master Nan snorted once more. "I'll be going now. You better keep your words. I'm watching you, Nan Shu Cheng."

Hearing his father's way of calling him, Nan Shu Cheng knew that his father hadn't forgiven him. Old Master Nan would not call him with his full name unless he was talking about some important matter. Now that he did that, it was clear that he meant he didn't care about Nan Shu Cheng's opinion and only wanted him to do his 'duty' properly.

His hands balled up to form fists. Even though he felt aggrieved, there were no suitable words to express it outwards.

"Yes, Father."

Nan Luo looked unwillingly as Nan Hua walked forward. Her steps were slow but steady as she walked towards the gate. The gate was open and there were many other of Nan Shu Cheng's concubines who stood there, welcoming her. At the same time, both Nan Hou Xiang and Nan Xin were there.

"First Sister." Nan Hou Xiang nodded at Nan Hua.

"Sister." Nan Xin smiled sweetly.

Nan Hua looked at the two of them and nodded faintly. Acting all aloof and hateful would only put her in difficult situation. It was fine when she was still staying in Old Master Nan's residence because they wouldn't be able to do anything.

But now that they were staying together, she had to pay attention.

How interesting.

There were four servants who followed Nan Hua to Nan Family Residence. Xiao Yun, who had already followed Nan Hua ever since she was very small. Mu Yan, who was at the same age as Nan Hua and had served her for around five years. Ran and Chu Yue who were staying in Old Master Nan's Residence all this time but they would follow her now.

"Nan Hua, Mother had already prepared your residence for you." Madam Qu decided to step forward.

Nan Hua glanced at Madam Qu. Her black obsidian eyes seemed to be able to see through any layer of disguise that was put before her. Just that one glance had already caused Madam Qu to have chills on her back.

When Nan Hua shifted her gaze once more, the feeling disappeared. It made Madam Qu wonder whether she was hallucinating.

"Madam Qu didn't have to work so hard. The previous residence where I used to stay is more than enough."

Madam Qu.

Madam Qu's expression turned ugly for a moment. However, she still tried to put on a smile as if she truly cared for Nan Hua. "The residence is the same as where your mother used to live. I will send more maidservants to clean it up."

"Ok."

Nan Hou Xiang looked at Nan Hua deeply. There was faint glint flashed within his eyes before it disappeared once more. He snorted internally and turned to look at his father. "Father, I'll return to my study."

"Me too, Father."

"Alright, you two can go back." Nan Shu Cheng waved his hand. He only asked them to come to the front because he wanted to give a show to Old Master Nan that he cared. However, it seemed that his father didn't care in the slightest bit of this show.

It failed miserably.

Old Master Nan looked at his own son deeply before turning around. "Let's go, Luo. You're going to have tough days ahead."

"Yes, Grandfather."

Nan Luo took one last look at Nan Hua before walking away. He promised to himself that when he met Nan Hua again, he would bring her away from this place and let her stay in a place where she could truly be herself.

What was the point of him escaping from this place if it ended up with Nan Hua having to return?

Even if it was only a few months, he was still worried.

'Soon.'

Nan Luo's eyes burned in determination. He would become more and more stronger, achieve great achievement so that no one would be able to look down on him anymore. That way, he would be able to put up his request to the Emperor for his sister to stay with him.

That would be much better.

…

Meanwhile, Nan Hua's side.

The residence that Madam Qu meant to prepare for her was a brand new residence. But Nan Hua didn't want to stay there, so she asked for the residence where she used to stay. Before she went away from this residence, she stayed with her mother.

The courtyard was big, but it was unattended. Weeds grown so tall and there were a lot of dust accumulated inside.

Yet, Nan Hua could sense that her body instinctively feel heavy.
