Chapter 508 Send Away
His eyes were filled with hatred. It was the first time that in his entire life he had ever hated someone so badly.
The two families had no interaction whatsoever, but he ended up being the scapegoat because of another family's scheme. How loathsome.
If not because of that accursed proposal, he wouldn't have ended this way.
"Second Young Master."
"What is it?" Second Young Master Kai asked in a low tone, feeling thoroughly pissed off.
"There's a letter for you."
"Letter?"
Second Young Master Kai furrowed his eyebrows. He did have some good friends who would spend some time with him from time to time. However, the relationship between him and his friends were not that close to the point that they would send letters to him so often.
He had just received a letter from those people.
"Give it to me. Who sent it?" Second Young Master Kai looked at the sealed bamboo tube in front of him. The seal was a common seal that could be found anywhere and didn't represent any family.
The servant shook his head. "This one didn't know, Second Young Master. The letter was given to one of your manservant who followed you to Nan Family Residence."
Second Young Master Kai's face darkened when he heard the phrase 'Nan Family Residence.' In his opinion, it was the most loathsome place in the entire kingdom. If only time could rewind, he would have dragged himself and let him stayed locked in his room so that he would never go there.
The letter only consisted of several bamboo strips that were strung together. He quickly read the content and his eyes widened.
"Heh."
"Second Young Master?" The servant was stunned. Why did Second Young Master Kai laugh after being punished so badly? Did he hit his head too badly after being beaten up?
Second Young Master Kai put the letter away. He could see that the letter as not written with any remarkable features. It was most likely written in order to make sure that no one would know who was written this.
However, he didn't care.
What he cared about was the content that was written inside the letter.
"I need to see my father." Second Young Master Kai stood up. He was not an adult yet, so he wouldn't be able to use the information inside too well, but his father should be able to.
The servant was dumbfounded, but he followed what Second Young Master Kai wanted. Internally, he hoped that the Second Young Master didn't hurt his head too badly.
…
Nan Family Residence.
Xiao Yun returned after she was done doing what Nan Hua asked her to do. When she saw the servants busy cleaning up, she was sure that something had happened here. However, she chose to report first before finding out what had happened.
"Miss, I have done what you ask me to do," Xiao Yun reported.
Nan Hua nodded. "Did anyone see you?"
"There's no one around. I'm staying in the restroom and no one should be able to see what I'm doing inside." Xiao Yun had to do something for a brief moment, so she made up an alibi during that time. She pretended to have stomachache and spent a quarter of incense stick of time inside the restroom.
That way, no one would doubt that she was actually doing something else inside.
Xiao Yun then spent more time inside, acting as if she truly had stomachache and some kind of stomach problems before going out. The other maidservants had seen her and coaxed her, trying to get on her good side.
After all, Xiao Yun was the one who stayed near Nan Hua the most and naturally had the highest position.
Nan Hua nodded. "Rest for now."
"Yes, Miss."
After going out of the room, Xiao Yun found out that there were many things that had happened. She was dumbfounded when she found out that Madam Qu actually arranged for a maidservant to take Second Young Master Kai here.
Xiao Yun furrowed her eyebrows. "Shall I find that maidservant?"
"She's gone." Mu Yan shook her head. "That woman is being careful."
Xiao Yun actually wanted to take the maidservant to testify that she was Madam Qu's people. But hearing what Mu Yan said, she could only sigh. In the eyes of these people, servants were nothing more than a chess piece that they could pick and throw away as they pleased.
Once they no longer had any use, they would be thrown away.
And if they needed to erase any evidence, it was very easy for them to kill the maidservants. Such a master was truly the woes of these servants because they didn't know when they would finally end up dead.
"Stay silent about it."
"I know."
Xiao Yun looked in Nan Hua's location and sighed. She hoped that these women wouldn't try to do anything to Nan Hua anymore. But then again, what was the use of that short messages sent to those people?
She shook her head, not trying to guess what was inside Nan Hua's mind.
…
The next day, Nan Shu Cheng's face was nearly green in anger. Official Kai directly target him and also presented the evidences for some misdeed done in his area. It was as if he was planning to slap his face, saying that he hadn't done anything good.
The evidences were supposed to be hard to find and even Nan Shu Cheng was still working on the case.
And yet, someone else had snatched his work.
This made his image turned even worse.
When Nan Shu Cheng talked with Official Kai, the man only said that it was luck that his second son managed to find it and sent it to him. This further enraged Nan Shu Cheng so much that he really wished his wife hadn't done something so stupid.
So when he returned home, he directly ordered for them all to head to Yi Shang Temple.
What was most infuriating for Madam Qu would be the fact that the management for the harem fell to Concubine Mei's hand.
