Old Master Nan was not the only one eavesdropper.
Nan Hua had silently followed them. Since Nan Luo's quarter was not far from her own and he talked about these in his quarter, she could listen from a distance away. Hearing the experience of the original Nan Hua from Xiao Yun's mouth, there was a strange feeling inside her heart.
It was not her.
But why did she felt as if her heart was pounding with dull pain?
Was it the memory from this body before she came over?
Nan Hua didn't know. The memory she had from the original Nan Hua was exceptionally rare and in pieces. Even with the poison that Old Master Nan asked her to drink to increase her immunity, it only helped to recover very small part of the original Nan Hua's memory.
Without saying anything, Nan Hua silently slipped away and returned to her own quarter to rest.
…
Morning.
Several people came to Nan Shu Cheng's Residence and shouted from early morning. The passerby were all stunned to see a lot of people surrounded the residence.
"Qu Fei Jiao! Come out!"
"You burn down our houses! Come out here and compensate us for our losses!"
"Just how much hatred do you have to burn our houses?"
"We don't even have any relation!"
It took some time for the people there to find out that there was fire in Rou City not long ago. The soldiers already sent people to investigate the matter and right now, the people here all said that they saw Qu Fei Jiao, Concubine Qu, was the one responsible for the matter.
They even claimed that there was evidence in the soldiers' hand that said it was indeed related to Qu Fei Jiao.
By the time Nan Shu Cheng came out, the mess was already uncontrollable. "Everyone, Qu Fei Jiao is not related…"
"That's a lie!"
"Don't speak to us as if you know everything! We're there and listen to how Qu Fei Jiao asked the group of people to burn the entire city."
"Yeah! She even pay a lot of silver taels!"
"Just investigate it, you'll found out that a lot of silvers had been lost without any records where it went!"
"Yes! Investigate it!"
With so many people making ruckus, it was hard for Nan Shu Cheng to pacify them. In the end, the soldiers had to come and helped. But at that time, Nan Shu Cheng was late for morning court and when he rushed over, he found out that they had heard about this mess.
Being reprimanded in front of the other officials seemed unavoidable.
"Please believe me. My wife is innocent and not involved in this matter at all." Nan Shu Cheng felt a bit desperate. He knew very well that Qu Fei Jiao did take some of the silvers for herself but he always turned a blind eye to that.
If his wife wanted to amuse herself, he didn't mind.
But asking people to destroy a village? How could she possibly do that?
"The entire Qu Family will be put in trial. In addition, you'll be put under arrest. If it's proven that you're involved, you'll be stripped of your rank and be put in jail."
Nan Shu Cheng nodded. He didn't know anything about this matter, so he was not worried that he would be involved.
"If your wife is proven to be involved, you will be demoted."
At this time, Nan Shu Cheng couldn't say anything else.
Looking at the furious officials in front of him, he knew that they were mad because he had increased their workload on the day when they were supposed to be resting. They didn't want to, but they now had to work harder.
"General Nan, please teach your son better."
"My apologies for this unruly son of mine. He really loves to create problem." Old Master Nan looked at his son and sighed.
Nan Shu Cheng felt his hair stood on end when he saw his father's gaze.
…
Back at Nan Family Residence
Nan Luo listened to the report that Hou Liang gave while nodding his head in happiness. "Ao Kuai, your plan did work!"
Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Luo and snorted. "I only ask them to tell the truth."
But on the surface, these children never appeared on the story at all. After all, Feng Ao Kuai was not stupid enough to do it on his own. He simply asked someone else to do the deeds for him.
Since the one who did it was indeed Qu Fei Jiao, it would only take some time for them to be able to conclude this matter.
Not to mention, even if they couldn't find conclusive evidence, the fact that the finance book of Nan Family to be inspected would already tell them that there was something wrong with the record. At that time, would Nan Shu Cheng be able to avoid demotion?
Feng Ao Kuai highly doubt it.
Nan Luo grinned. "You should have dealt even more decisive blow. If you didn't think of asking someone else to do it, I was thinking of confronting him directly."
"It's better to wash our hand off this matter." Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at Nan Luo. "Besides, do you really think that a child's words are reliable? If there are rumors about you being unfilial, that will be even worse."
Hearing that, Nan Luo was speechless. That was true.
Feng Ao Kuai stirred the tea in his cup for some time as he smiled faintly. He naturally knew that Nan Hua wanted to stay low, so this would be the best option to do. Those people would never know whom they had offended that landed them in this state.
"Don't worry, there's no trace."
"Are you sure?"
"Dead men tell no lies." Feng Ao Kuai shrugged and continued his meal.
But Nan Luo was even more speechless.. He really wanted to ask just who did Feng Ao Kuai tasked to do this but he feared that if he asked this, he would be the next in the kill list that Feng Ao Kuai had.
