Feng Ao Kuai returned after a while. He noticed that Nan Luo was looking at him with a worried expression.


    "What is it, Luo?"


    "Well, I''m thinking about Grandfather. Didn''t he want to stay low? If we do this, would we be pushed to the limelight?" Nan Luo asked.


    Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Luo as if he was looking at an idiot. "There''s a vige at a day''s time distance. Even if we share our food, it wouldn''t affect too much. Besides, Young Commander Long also brought food with him and share it."


    "Really?"


    "What you''re worried about wouldn''t happen. There are not many people who survived here and at most only 100 people. Even if they spread the tales, it would end up disappearing as soon as it appears." Feng Ao Kuai had calcted and knew that it wouldn''t make a huge impact.


    It would be a different story if Nan Hua were to give their food for thousands of people because that tale would be spread. But they already came with dozens of soldiers. It was not too much for them to share some food since it was not too many.


    Besides, they only took care of the people for a day''s time since they would be handled by the vigerster.


    "Then, why did Hua''er?" Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows.


    "It''ll still give us good impression on them. At the very least, these people will think more about Nan Family." Feng Ao Kuai shrugged. He didn''t know why Nan Hua suddenly gave that order. Not to mention, her voice was not low.


    Did she want to establish a good image for herself? But it was a bit too early and it was quite useless. After all, this ce was a distance away from the Capital City and it was unlikely that the vigers woulde to the Capital City.


    Thus, Feng Ao Kuai was not sure.


    They didn''t speak anymore and waited for Old Master Nan to finish. Nan Si Qiao was also helping out, so she only visited the children when it was nighttime.


    "You all did good." Nan Si Qiao patted her sons'' head. "I heard from the vigers that you asked the servants to give foods."


    "That''s Hua''er," Nan Luo chirped from the side.


    Feng Ao Kuai looked at his mother. "How about water, Mother?"


    "There''s a well that''s not buried so there''s more than enough water for them. It''s just a distance away, so there''s a group of soldiers whose task is to collect water."


    "I see."


    "Is there nothing else you want to ask?" Nan Si Qiao''s lips twitched when she saw how nonchnt Feng Ao Kuai looked like. For some reasons, she began to wonder how in the world did she manage to give birth to such a smart and mature boy.


    Feng Ao Kuai shook his head and focused on drinking the tea in front of him.


    They ate and then rested for the night. Since the number of tents decreased, Nan Luo had to stuff together with Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai. Nan Si Qiao also stayed in the carriage along with Nan Hua.


    In the middle of the night, Nan Hua slipped out of the carriage without anyone noticing. She settled to stay near some of the vigers who were still awake.


    Swish!


    "It''s cold."


    "We''re lucky to be able to survive and have good meal now." the second man sighed. He looked at the bowl of water in front of him and felt terribly lucky. If not because he was out of the vige, he would have been buried alive.


    "Yes, Young Miss Nan is really good."


    "Really? I heard that she''s a pitiful youngdy of Nan Family."


    "Where did you hear that?"


    The first man gulped down the water andughed dryly. "I heard it from my rtives at the Capital City. It''s such a huge news two years ago about how the pitiful youngdy of Nan Family is actually abused by her own father."


    "Really? No wonder she looks so quiet."


    "Quiet? I think it''s elegant."


    "I didn''t see her that close, but I think she''s very pretty."


    Abuse?


    In the bush, Nan Hua was listening in as they talked about it and then switched topic. It didn''t seem like they knew the exact detail. Except for the fact that there was a hugemotion about it, Nan Hua didn''t gain much.


    She silently returned to her carriage andid down, her mind wondering what could possibly happen to the real Nan Hua. The book mentioned that Nan Hua was a cold and quietdy, so she had been trying to imitate it.


    It was not hard since it was the easiest personality and a bit closer to how she usually was in the organization.


    But now that she had begun to live as Nan Hua for a year, she started to wonder about things that had happened in the past. Was there really something big that caused Nan Hua to be so quiet? And what incident it was to make no one dared to talk about it?


    Even when Nan Hua was in front of other nobles, they always controlled their expression as if they were worried that they would misspoke.


    ''Should I investigate more?''


    Nan Hua squinted her eyes. That would be a bit difficult for her to figure out if no one dared to talk. And interrogating someone just for the sake of this didn''t sound that good either.


    In the end, Nan Hua chose to push the matter to the back.


    There was something else that she had been thinking.


    Something… rather important.


    …


    <strong>In Long Qian Xing''s side.</strong>


    After finishing the instruction, Long Qian Xing returned to his tent. His face darkened when he saw the uninvited guest who stayed on his chair.


    "Young Master Long," Lin Yuan quickly stood up and greeted.


    Long Qian Xing nodded.. "What do you want? Has your father woken up? You should stay near him to protect him."
