Chapter 669: Library
Some points didn't match up.
There was no way the original Feng Ao Kuai would want to sacrifice his life in order to trade with the original Nan Hua. Feng Ao Kuai was an ambitious person and also someone who had high dreams.
When Nan Hua talked to him, she had long noticed that Feng Ao Kuai was someone who wanted to reach the peak in his own way. His ambition and dream was not small. It was not something that could be easily traded with the life of another person.
The current Feng Ao Kuai indeed would not hesitate to sacrifice his life if it meant that he could save Nan Hua.
Not that Nan Hua would allow him.
But if the original Feng Ao Kuai dared to sacrifice that much for the sake of the original Nan Hua, it could only mean one thing. Even in the original story, the original Nan Hua had somehow made the original Feng Au Kuai followed her and become her right hand.
Was the original Nan Hua merely a cold and unloved daughter of Nan Family?
It didn't seem to be that way.
From the very beginning, there was something behind the image that the original Nan Hua had portrayed.
Nan Hua was silent until she reached her quarter. "Prepare bath and breakfast."
"Yes, Miss."
Xiao Yun and Mu Yan worked as quickly as possible to prepare everything. Nan Hua took a bath and had her breakfast calmly. Even though her brain was working hard, her expression and action showed none of those.
When she had finished, she continued with the most common action for her.
Embroidering.
Chu Yue even blinked her eyes when she saw Nan Hua embroidering once more. She felt that her young miss was really peculiar in building her image as a soft and harmless young lady of Nan Family.
Beside her, Ran was staying silent. Ran was not a talkative person and usually did some errands. She was the youngest among the four of them and also the one with the least capability to become maidservant. In fact, she should have become an ordinary servant rather than maidservant.
Ran turned her head and saw a group of several people coming. "Sister Chu, there are a few people coming."
"I'll tell Miss."
Chu Yue walked forward and curtsied. "Miss, Second Miss Nan had arrived."
Nan Hua stopped and nodded. When Ku was sick, Nan Xin hadn't paid a visit aside from the very first day, giving her regards. If she was not wrong, Nan Xin must be trying her best to coax Madam Qu.
The matter of her marriage had been brought up a few more times and Nan Xin was a bit anxious. Concubine Mei was clearly not feeling too well with the attention Nan Xin received, which resulted in her and Madam Qu clashing a lot during the table.
But the one who kept on getting the benefit was Concubine Su.
Nan Shu Cheng was said to be staying within Concubine Su Quarter for the past few weeks, not even visiting his wife aside from the stipulated time.
Based on the current Fei Yang Kingdom's law, a husband has to stay in their wife's room two days each month<*
It made Madam Qu so angry.
But what could she do?
She could only cry and complain to Nan Shu Cheng, but the response hadn't been very good. In the end, she had to continue plotting to make sure that Nan Shu Cheng would be looking in her direction and not others.
Anyway, Nan Hua didn't exactly follow what these women did to each other aside from reading the reports of the summary.
"Sister, are you here?"
"Come in," Nan Hua replied. She could see Nan Xin came in while her servant carried some basket. Her expression looked happy and relieved. It seemed that she had just managed to deflect some kind of harm that Madam Qu tried to do.
"First Sister, I come here to pay a visit because I heard that you've gotten better," Nan Xin said in her sweet voice. She blinked her eyes, acting all innocent. "First Sister had said that you want to pay a visit to the library. Today should be a good day, right? I can accompany you, First Sister."
Listening to Nan Xin's sweet words, Nan Hua didn't answer immediately and merely hummed. She stood up and allowed Xiao Yun to hold her hand. "In that case, please lead the way."
"Okay." Nan Xin smiled, showing the dimples on her cheek. "I have asked the servants to prepare enough food. If First Sister wishes to stay there for a long time, they should be more than enough."
Nan Hua nodded and didn't say anything.
Looking at Nan Hua, Nan Xin's eyes glimmered. She hadn't paid a visit to Nan Hua because she was quite busy lately. Besides, what was there to do here when Nan Hua spent most of her time sleeping because of the medicine?
It would be better for her to stay away from here and not wasting her time.
The two girls walked to the library. The library was actually a separate building that was located not far from Nan Shu Cheng's study. It was peaceful and tranquil, giving the best atmosphere for one to study.
"Grandfather build this study room for Father when he's young and want to become an official." Nan Xin looked at the library in front of her. She had heard about many things since she had stayed in Nan Shu Cheng's Residence longer than Nan Hua. "After Father had his own study room, this library hasn't been used much. He allowed his children to come here if they wanted to.
First Sister also could come here if she wants to in the future without me."
Nan Hua merely nodded and didn't say much.
Nan Xin pursed her lips. She felt that Nan Hua was really hard to talk with. If not because of her mother's instruction, she would have never tried to get close to Nan Hua in the slightest bit.
