496 Mu Fei Jiu (2)


    "Please call me with my name freely, First Young Miss Nan." Mu Fei Jiu chuckled. She smiled brightly. "I have heard a lot about Great General Nan''s exploits. As his granddaughter, I''m sure that there will be some stories he told you, right?"


    Right now, Mu Fei Jiu looked like a little kid who was curious about something. Looking at her cute and lovable appearance, one would find it difficult to reject such a request from her.


    Nan Hua kept on looking at Mu Fei Jiu. "Haven''t you heard many stories outside?"


    "That couldn''t be the same as when you say the story personally." Mu Fei Jiu leaned closer. "I can listen, right?"


    Nan Hua was looking at Mu Fei Jiu and silently nodded.


    "Yes! Thank you very much, Sister Nan Hua!"


    She changed from First Young Miss Nan to Sister Nan Hua? Looking at how easily Mu Fei Jiu was trying to associate herself with her, Nan Hua knew that this cunning little girl wouldn''t be easily pushed away.


    Anyway, she didn''t mind.


    Mu Fei Xin.


    Mu Fei Jiu.


    The two of them have simr names and Nan Hua knew that Mu Fei Jiu was Mu Fei Xin''s blood rted sister from the same mother. The two of them were the two girls with the highest status in Mu Family due to Mu Fei Xin''s marriage, allowing them some privilege that many other girls couldn''t get.


    Mu Family was quite different from other families.


    Their girls got more education even though they would still end up being married away when they reached of age. However, the freedom to learn more things allowed them to be brighter and usually quite sessful.


    When Nan Hua was paying close attention to Mu Fei Jiu, she noticed that Mu Fei Jiu was slipping some words that was left unsaid. If those words werebined, it would form a very interesting sentence.


    ''Sister ask me to befriend you.''


    Very blunt.


    But Nan Hua had never told anyone, not even Mu Fei Xin, that she could read lips. Yet from the way Mu Fei Jiu acted, it seemed as if she was sure that Nan Hua could understand what she was going to convey through her unspoked words.


    Interesting.


    In front of them, Nan Xin''s face darkened considerably. Old Master Nan was also her grandfather, but she didn''t have good rtion with her grandfather. It was as if Old Master Nan didn''t even want to acknowledge her.


    And with that old man putting on such a scary face in front of her, Nan Xin naturally didn''t dare to question him. She was afraid of Old Master Nan and naturally didn''t dare to try asking question to him and stayed close to that person. Only Nan Hua and Nan Luo didn''t seem to have any qualms ying around Old Master Nan.


    It has always been like that from the time when they were still small.


    "Very well…" Nan Hua just told about the famous ones that her grandfather told her a lot. There were several of them, so she picked the one that was only a few years ago and at the time when her grandfather got involved a lot.


    Mu Fei Jiu listened attentively, her eyes were shining as she listened to Nan Hua''s exnation.


    It seemed as if she was a little kid who was impatient to hear some kind of interesting story or she would be dissatisfied.


    The other girls felt awkward. Some of them tactfully leave because they could see that Mu Fei Jiu was trying to get close to Nan Hua. The others were looking at Nan Xin as if they were asking what they were supposed to do.


    did youe here? I heard that you''re not feeling well."

    "The letter stated that I have toe," Old Madam Long said helplessly.


    If they wanted to step forward, it was possible.


    But they had to risk Mu Family wrath.


    Mu Family''s head was a duke and also held important position as the head of Minister of Defense. He was very influential thorough but Mu Family was known to be loyal to the Emperor regardless of who they got involved to in terms of their descendant''s marriage. Their first priority was the kingdom''s safety.


    Offending them might risk having their family subjected to some ''unfair punishment.''


    "Let''s go. There are other flowers we can look." Lei Xiao Yi tugged Nan Xin''s sleeve, reminding this young girl that they couldn''t possibly stay here forever.


    Nan Xin nodded unwillingly. Her fist was clenched so tightly that it almost tore into her skin. She was angry. Why is everyone trying to get close to Nan Hua and not her? Just because of the differences in their status, she had to get such low treatment?


    She couldn''t ept it.


    But even if she couldn''t, what could she do?


    She had no real power to speak of. Even just staying here was already a great privilege for someone like her, but Nan Xin would not realize it herself.


    At this time, the eunuch announced, "Long Family had arrived."


    Long Family?


    Everyone was dumbfounded because they knew that in the Capital City, Old Madam Long was staying by herself. There were no one else aside from her who was staying here.


    Did she reallye personally?


    Nan Hua''s eyes shed as she looked at the door. Upon seeing Old Madam Long entering while being helped by a maidservant, she couldn''t help but step forward. Beside her, Mu Fei Jiu could read the situation and tactfully moved away. She stopped asking those questions because it could be forter.


    Old Madam Long swept her gaze across the otherdies and chuckled. "Are you so surprised by this olddy''s appearance?"


    One of the few olddies who was close with Old Madam Long stepped forward. "Sister Long, why did youe here? I heard that you''re not feeling well."


    "The letter stated that I have toe," Old Madam Long said helplessly.


    Her other friend looked at her with arched eyebrows. Those who knew Old Madam Long personally knew that those small threats wouldn''t be able to do anything against Old Madam Long.


    So, why did this old madame?
