Chapter 238 - Was It The Point?
In the carriage, the three of them finally stopped acting.
They all turned to look at Nan Hua, who was still leaning to Nan Luo's shoulder with curiosity. Everyone wanted to know what had happened when they were supposed to be enjoying the banquet.
"Hua'er, can you tell us what happened?" Nan Luo asked softly.
Nan Hua opened her eyes. There was not even any trace of fear nor trepidation. Instead, it was calm, very calm.
"Princess Yue eat allergic stuff." Nan Hua furrowed her eyebrows and simplified everything that had happened.
When Feng Ao Kuai heard that the servant pointed at Nan Hua, he turned angry. How could it be possible for Nan Hua to use such a crappy method? If it was Nan Hua, there wouldn't be any trace whatsoever!
"How is it possible for Hua'er to even think of such thing? Her way of thinking is more elaborate than us!" Nan Luo scoffed.
Feng Ao Kuai nodded in agreement. "If it's Hua'er, she will never leave any trace."
"You're right." Nan Luo smiled. He felt that Feng Ao Kuai was truly the next person to understand Nan Hua after him.
In their opinion, whatever Nan Hua was planning to do, she would never leave any trace whatsoever that could be traced back to her. They might not even know that she was involved in the matter.
Just like back then.
Feng Ao Si: "…" was it the point?
Looking at his younger brother and younger cousin, Feng Ao Si began to wonder whether they had been hit with young sister's fever. Based on their words, it sounded as if Nan Hua was the most elaborate person in the world and that they would never be able to outdo her scheme.
Nan Hua looked at her twin brother and cousins. She blinked her eyes. The one who spoke at the end was her.
Does Shangguan Mi thought that she was the only one who could do ventriloquism? She could do it as well. Copying other people's voice was very easy. From male to children to old person, she could do it flawlessly.
Since Shangguan Mi wanted to target her, she would return the favor back.
"But this meant that things will get messy."
"It doesn't really matter for me." Feng Ao Si shrugged. He would be participating in the winter training, so he wouldn't even stay in the Capital City. As for where General Shangguan wanted to bring them, he didn't have the courage to ask that.
"Right."
Feng Ao Kuai leaned to the back. "It'll not end with this, but we shouldn't get involved."
"I don't have any plan to get involved."
"Me either."
Nan Hua simply nodded.
Since the four of them had agreed, they did as they said.
Aside from Feng Ao Si who was sent away because of winter training, the rest of them spent their time to train in their residence. Nan Hua was still splitting her time between training her martial arts and medical training. Her master, Traveling Doctor Liu, was amazed when he saw how fast her progress was.
He even lamented that he didn't meet her sooner or he would have kidnapped her.
Of course, Old Master Nan chased him away when he said that.
The news regarding Shangguan Family circulated in the Capital City from time to time but Shangguan Die was still fine. As it turned out, there were indeed several other older servants who knew about Princess Yue's allergy.
They were caught and ended up being put into blame.
The Shangguan Family wished to protect Shangguan Die, so she was still fine. However, it was clear that their family wouldn't be peaceful anymore. Nan Hua even estimated that Shangguan Mi would begin her attack fiercely for the next several months.
Though, Nan Hua didn't really care.
Her relationship with Shangguan Die could be considered as bad. After all, Shangguan Die tried to scheme against her because of Shangguan Yi's matter. Even though it was just her trying to protect her brother, Nan Hua didn't have any plan to be kind to someone who schemed against her.
Aside from that, her grandfather finally settled on two maidservants for her. Their name was Ran and Chu Yue. They would take care of the residence while Mu Yan and Xiao Yun would follow Nan Hua most of the time.
Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai also finished the examination. Of course, Nan Luo's result in some classes were so bad that Old Master Nan grounded him almost immediately. He couldn't believe that his descendant couldn't even properly remember the poems that had existed for so many years.
Days passed quietly.
Today, Nan Hua visited the small store where Traveling Doctor Liu was located.
"Junior Sister, you've come." Shan Yu smiled when he saw Nan Hua. Contrary to his unkind expression he showed when Nan Hua first appeared, he now looked like a kind older brother. Of course, those who knew his real age would never treat him as youngsters.
He was old enough to be her father… despite his appearance that made him looked no different from any other youngsters at 20 years of age.
"Senior Brother Shan," Nan Hua greeted back. "Is Master here?"
"Master is at the back. He's making medicine, so you shouldn't disturb him."
Nan Hua nodded. There were two types of medicine that they made. One was mixing the herbs into some kind of soup and fed it to their patients. The second was to mix the herbs to form a pill.
Making pill was harder as it required more skills.
Nan Hua herself had only found out that this pill making skill existed, thus she learned earnestly under Traveling Doctor Liu's guidance. Thanks to him, she managed to create some basic medicine pills.
The grade was still fairly low, but she could learn.
Knock! Knock!
"Excuse me, is it time for me to come out?"
Nan Hua was surprised to hear the voice from the side. She cocked her head and saw a tender youth standing not far from the door. His hair looked messy but his eyes were shining.. Upon meeting with Nan Hua's eyes, the youth's face immediately blushed in embarrassment.
