2159 Nan Hua’s Maidservants (3)


    Soon, the two of them found Xiao Yan who was resting on the side. He didn''t have much to do and when he saw the two womening, Xiao Yan arched his eyebrows. "Is it break time?"


    "Yes," Mu Yan replied unhurriedly. "It seems that you''re less busy than the others."


    "Young Master didn''t really have to do anything," Xiao Yan replied.


    Most of the duties rted to their life needs were already solved by the steward. If they were to try doing it themselves, the steward would be the first one to be offended. Considering they were in the Nan Family Residence, these servants chose to stay back. Anyway, not having anything to do meant that they could rest.


    They have been working hard for a long time, a few days of break wouldn''t hurt~.


    In this way, Nan Hua''s four maidservants along with her cousins and brother''s servants were taking a rare break.


    "Brother," Xiao Yun called out.


    Xiao Yan looked at this sister of hers.


    It has been a long time since he saw Xiao Yun, but he could see that she was doing well. Nan Hua didn''t really put Xiao Yun in dangerous situation and only let her stay in the temple.


    It might be a bit boring, but it was also a safe ce without much risk.


    In this way, Xiao Yun was able to pass the past few years safely along with Ran.


    Only Mu Yan and Chu Yue were outside, doing various things ordered by Nan Hua to them and possibly facing more risks in whatever they were doing. "It''s been a while, Xiao Yun." Xiao Yan nodded.


    Xiao Yun looked at this brother of hers, not sure what to say. In the end, she only said, "Have you been doing well?"


    "Yes," Xiao Yan replied curtly.


    And then it was silence.


    Neither of the two siblings knew what to talk with each other.


    Beside Xiao Yun, Mu Yan could also feel this tense and awkward atmosphere, but she was not sure how to break it. She really wanted to tell them to rx more and talked with each other about various things but at the same time, Mu Yan knew that she couldn''t really meddle in their rtionship.

    "You…" Xiao Yun wanted to ask why her brother never sent her any letter, but she couldn''t speak it out. She knew that Xiao Yan was busy.


    But she didn''t have anyone else in the past few years. Her only family members was Xiao Yan, but he was located so far away because of his duty.


    Even if Xiao Yun understood, she still felt a bit lonely.


    There was only Ran beside her in the temple aside from a few monks who woulde out to chant or to practice daily. asionally, there would be the messenger Fei Mao came to pay a visit to her, which made Xiao Yun happy.


    But aside from him, there were no one else.


    Her brother also didn''t send her any message.


    "Are you very busy out there?" Xiao Yun finally asked this.


    "Yes."


    The answer was still very simple and curt.


    "Oh."


    After that, Xiao Yun didn''t have anything else to ask. She looked at her brother and in the end, she turned around and leave.


    Mu Yan watched this and frowned. She looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "Do you not n to tell her about the intrigues out there?"


    "What''s there to tell?" Xiao Yan shrugged. "I don''t think she needs to know howplicate the world is."


    "About the letter. I think she''s thinking about this," Mu Yan said.


    Just now, Xiao Yun was asking about whether Xiao Yan sent any letter and Mu Yan told her yes. Because Mu Yan did receive letters rted to their tasks from Xiao Yan from time to time.


    But it was not very often as Xiao Yan didn''t have the chance to do it all the time. When Xiao Yan was sending letters, it had to be done covertly because any other letters would have to be inspected when it came out of the frontline. The leakage of news would be fatal for Fei Yang Kingdom.


    Even if Nan Luo''s position was not the highest nor the most important, he still has to keep his whereabouts and movement a secret.


    Because of this, Xiao Yan rarely sent any letter if any at all.


    Most of them could only be sent through the messenger that Nan Hua arranged toe to Nan Luo''s army.


    Because only the few people under Nan Hua coulde and goes in various ces without anyone noticing quietly and covertly. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    No one would be able to notice them. "Ah…" Xiao Yan sighed and then shook his head. "There''s no possibility of sending letters to the loved ones except if it''s the letter announcing your death. You should know how previous it is the bamboo strips or skin parchment. I don''t have any spare to send anything to her."


    He was not rich and the money he earned from Nan Luo would be used by Xiao Yan to strengthen himself. Because the battlefield was so dangerous and only by having good enough equipment would it be possible for him to survive.


    Some other soldiers might be thinking about sending their money back home.


    But those who didn''t have any families would rather invest in themselves, protecting themselves with better armors or weapons so that they could survive better.


    This was what Xiao Yan did.


    Because he knew that his sister was safe and had more than enough money from Nan Hua. There was no need for him to send his meagre money back to her. As the result, there was truly no contact between the two of them for a long time. "You can exin it to her, you know."
