Chapter 258 – I Don’t Know
Nan Luo listened to Feng Ao Kuai's words and felt utterly speechless. Looking at how Feng Ao Kuai's expression was still firm even though his eyes seemed to be looking here and there, he wanted to say that Feng Ao Kuai was really strong. If it was him, he would never be able to finish the explanation with his face straight.
In fact, he would have long wanted to bury his face.
"I see."
And Nan Hua's placid response caused complicated emotion to rise up within Nan Luo's heart. He looked at his twin sister, feeling that most of the time, he didn't know her at all.
"Is there anything else you want to know, Hua'er?" Feng Ao Kuai asked.
Nan Hua looked at her older cousin. "Why is your Second Uncle live with you?"
Normally, people would go when they were married away. However, Feng Family situation seemed to be quite peculiar. Feng Qian Bo still lived with Feng Qian Shao even though he was already married and have children on his own.
It was strange.
"Second Uncle did live by himself for a short period of time. However, there's an accident a few years ago when Wind City is attacked." Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. He was still a baby back then, so he didn't know the detail. "His house is demolished, so he come here to stay.
Because Wind City condition is bad at that time, no one talked about moving him out. It's only a few years ago that things start to settle down. However, Second Uncle didn't seem to have any intention to move out. Grandfather also didn't say anything about this."
Grandfather?
It took Nan Hua a second to realize that the one Feng Ao Kuai called grandfather was Old Master Feng. Different from Old Master Nan who roamed on the battlefield for a long period of time, Old Master Feng was the third child in his family and lacked many achievements because of being overshadowed.
He ended up staying in Feng City as an ordinary low ranked guard and build his family here. Now that he was already fairly old, he only took the position as guard but his work was only half it previously was. There were also many other guards who were working here and with his son being a general, there was no need for him to worry about not being able to live well.
"I see."
Nan Hua thought about herself and then realized that her mother's maternal family was gone. She only has one grandfather, Old Master Nan.
"Why don't you suggest for them to move."
"I can't." Feng Ao Kuai shook his head. "Even though Grandfather valued me over the other children, it's only because I'm slightly smarter. When it comes to this complicated things, Grandfather will certainly not listen to me."
"What if your father is the one who makes the decision?"
Feng Ao Kuai was silent. He looked at Nan Hua's black obsidian eyes before he answered carefully, "Grandfather will have no other choice but to listen. This is Father's house and not Grandfather's."
Nan Hua nodded but didn't say anything else.
It was clear that she wanted him to be the one to persuade his father to take his second uncle out. But, would his father even listen to him?
Hmm, he could try to persuade his mother first.
"Tell me about the poison first."
Nan Hua didn't hide anything and tell the two of them everything she knew. The names were something new that she found out from her master, but she was very familiar with the chemical reaction it caused. Of course, she definitely couldn't say anything chemical like or these two would be looking at her strangely.
What she could say was the fact that the liquid was poisonous and the effect on one's body.
"Is it Lin Qiang?"
"I don't know."
Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. When Nan Hua said that the poison originated, no not just the poison but the flower too, from Zhang Xu Kingdom, Feng Ao Kuai could only think of Lin Qiang.
After all, Lin Qiang's background was rather unclear. It could be said that she might have been from Zhang Xu Kingdom for all they knew. The woman herself didn't say anything about her origin.
"Well, she is annoying." Nan Luo put his hand on the back of his head as he leaned back slightly. "But she looks as if she cares for Aunt Qiao."
"She didn't."
Feng Ao Kuai had lived here ever since he was born, so he naturally knew that Lin Qiang was only getting close to Nan Si Qiao in order to make sure that no one could shake her position. After all, Lin Qiang was only concubine but lived as if she was the main wife.
It was weird in the eyes of many outsiders.
Nan Luo looked at Feng Ao Kuai skeptically. "Well, it's your family problems. I won't talk about it anymore. However, I would rather not have them make a move against us."
If those people tried to harm his twin sister, he would make sure that they regretted the fact that they were born.
"I know."
"What do you come here for?"
"I'm here to ask about the poison." Feng Ao Kuai was honest. He had tried to ask Old Master Nan about this but their grandfather was tightlipped. He didn't allow him to know, so Feng Ao Kuai chose to come to Nan Hua.
After all, the one who knew about it was not only Old Master Nan.
Nan Hua narrowed her eyes. "Don't let Cousin Ao Si knew."
"I know."
Letting Feng Ao Si knew would be the worst decision ever. Feng Ao Kuai naturally would not make such a mistake. He also didn't have any intention of getting punished by his grandfather.
"You should go. Grandfather will come."
"Alright. Thank you."
Feng Ao Kuai silently left the quarter. He looked in the direction of his grandfather's room but didn't stop to pay a visit. If his grandfather allowed him to come here without bothering him, it meant that it was a tacit agreement to let him know.
It seemed that the only reason Old Master Nan refused to tell him before was because he was with Feng Ao Si.
Really, just how low was his brother's position in their grandfather's eyes?
