Chapter 646 Settling the Disturbances
It was not easy to prepare ice.
At least, when it was summer, it was not easy here. There was no such thing such as refrigerator, which made cold drink during summer was very rare. Though, Nan Hua didn’t really care that much.
She only thought that the ice felt nice and cold.
”Don’t drink too much, Grandmother,” Long Qian Xing reminded when he saw his grandmother drank a lot. It was not really good to drink a lot of too cold water even during summer.
”I know, you don’t have to keep on reminding me.” Old Madam Long snorted.
Long Qian Xing smiled wryly but said nothing else. He sipped the tea in his hand while looking to the back. There were several people who were coming, so it meant that the show finally started.
Not only Long Qian Xing, Nan Hua also sensed them. However, she still acted as if she knew nothing and focused on the tea in front of her. She had no intention of interfering with whatever they were planning to do.
”Old Madam, Concubine Ping and Concubine Mi are here.”
”Who?” Old Madam Long knew the first one since she was one of the few annoying one. The second one sounded a bit unfamiliar.
The servant paused for a moment before replying, “It’s Shangguan Mi, Old Madam.”
Shangguan Mi.
Old Madam Long passed a look at her grandson before waving her hand. “Tell them that we’re busy and had no time to entertain them.”
”Yes, Old Madam.”
The servant walked away, but Old Madam Long knew that those two would certainly not stop with this. She took a look at Long Qian Xing. “Are you finally going to do something? I’m already old and weak, but you still didn’t do anything to help.”
Long Qian Xing’s lips twitched when he heard what his grandmother said. It was always the same excuse every single time, but he knew very well that Old Madam Long was still very healthy. She even had more than enough energy to quarrel with the other servants and made them worry every single time.
”They’ll be impatient enough by now.” Long Qian Xing put down the teacup. “I would like to see what they’re planning to do.”
Right after Long Qian Xing finished talking, there was a shrill scream coming from the entrance to the garden. It was as if Long Qian Xing knew very well what these women were planning to do when he was here.
Old Madam Long snorted. Yesterday, they didn’t dare to do anything excessive when Long Ao Ming was at home. After all, Long Ao Ming was still very strict towards other women and would rather directly threw the divorce paper than to deal with their whining and complain.
Now that the one here was only Long Qian Xing, they had grown even more brazen.
”What happened?”
”Replying to Old Madam, Concubine Nu is injured because of a quarrel with Concubine Ru.”
Those two concubines were not as hard to manage as Concubine Ping. This made Old Madam Long felt a bit confused just why those two suddenly acted out during time like this.
Only Long Qian Xing was unsurprised. He had seen what these women were capable of doing and naturally understood their intention. It was just… he looked down on whatever methods they were using.
”Shall we take a look?” Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua.
”If Brother Long wants to see them, Hua’er will follow.” Nan Hua was being an obedient young girl.
Hearing her words, Long Qian Xing really wanted to pinch the young girl’s cheek. However, he restrained his impulse and only nodded. “Grandmother, would you like to come and watch too?”
”This old bone is already too old and weak. But since you’re asking, I’ll naturally come.”
Long Qian Xing was speechless.
Old Madam Long’s words sounded as if she was already too weak to do anything. But because it involved her grandson, she would come no matter what happened.
Thus, the three of them walked to the entrance of the garden.
Concubine Ping and Shangguan Mi were standing at the side while there were two other women who stayed not far from them. One of them looked so miserable that it was unbearable to look.
”What happened here?” Old Madam Long asked when she saw the two women who were merely watching from the side. She could see that they were the one who instigated things to happen even though they acted as if they didn’t do anything.
”Replying to Old Madam, Sister Ru and Sister Nu are fighting because they didn’t want to disturb Old Madam.” Concubine Ping looked at Old Madam Long and curtsied. “We heard that Young Master Long had returned and wished to be able to greet him since it hasn’t been easy for him.”
”Since you know it hasn’t been easy for him, you come and create trouble on the day he come back?” Old Madam Long arched her eyebrows. “Such a good reasoning.”
Concubine Ping was silent for a moment. “Please forgive us for making such commotion, Old Madam. We have no such intention and only genuinely wish to be able to see Young Master Long.”
”I have no interest in seeing Concubine Mothers.” Long Qian Xing swept his gaze across the three of them before turning around. “Since you have seen that I’m fine, there’s no need to continue this fight anymore. Go back and do what you’re supposed to do.”
”Yes, Young Master Long.”
”Yes, Young Master Long.”
”Yes, Young Master Long.”
The three concubines were obedient and knew that this commotion tactic didn’t work again. They were only hoping that it could attract their attention, but it didn’t seem to succeed at all.
”Grandmother, I’ll leave with Hua’er first.” Long Qian Xing looked at Old Madam Long and then nodded at Nan Hua.
Nan Hua’s black obsidian eyes stared in Long Qian Xing’s direction for a moment as she nodded obediently.
”Please wait…”
