Chapter 675: Unrelenting

Nan Hou Xiang looked at his uncle and acknowledged his words. He understood very well that in the eyes of Master Qu, Qu Fei Jiao was nothing more than a tool that could be used to expand the Qu Family. Whether Qu Fei Jiao was happy, sad, or anything, he didn't care that much.

What was important was the profit that could be gained by having Qu Fei Jiao stayed in the position as Nan Shu Cheng's legal wife.

"I'll be going now. You're on your own for the time being."

"Yes, Uncle."

As Nan Hou Xiang watched his uncle walked away, his eyes flashed in ruthlessness. Since it was the case, he would take things into his own hands and tried to do something that would definitely affect Nan Shu Cheng.





Days passed quietly.

In fact, it was so peaceful that it was eerie. Nan Xin didn't pay any visit to Nan Hua at all because Madam Qu seemed to be targeting her a lot and kept on asking for her presence along with other concubines. After all, the Qu Family was forced to return just a day after their visit.

Madam Qu was enraged because of this.

It was clear that Madam Qu was trying to make things difficult for them all under the name of having tea together.

Nan Hua was excluded and even if she was invited, she would definitely reject. She had no intention of entertaining those women when they were fighting each other. It was better to spend her time trying to perfect her embroidery.

She hadn't been able to make it too well.

At least, compared to her maidservants, they were still far better than her. Thus, Nan Hua continued to practice her embroidery calmly.

She also heard some of the recent news from the outside world. The news about the Empress Selection had spread. The method was that of a competition and all unmarried young ladies between the age of 13 to 17 were all allowed to come and participate.

Of course, another perquisite was that they didn't have any fiancé.

Thus, a lot of women were busy preparing for this Empress Selection that would be hold pretty soon.

"Miss, are you going to embroider again today?" Xiao Yun asked.

Nan Hua looked at the window and slowly stood up. "Let's take a walk this time. Someone has been very impatient lately."

Xiao Yun pursed her lips and obeyed.

A lot of people didn't want to see Nan Hua be well. However, only a few of them dared to actually act on that. Nan Hua was still keeping her eyes on these people and knew that since it would be Empress Selection soon, she better made these people shut up.

If they bothered her during that period of time, it would be too annoying.

As Nan Hua walked to the tree from before, she picked a place then sat down. Leaning on the tree, she could faintly see the images of her childhood once more. It was as if they were playing a movie inside her head.

The place where she spent a long time with her mother.

It was here.

She looked as a butterfly fly towards her. It was flapping its wing beautifully and Nan Hua stretched her hand slowly.

The butterfly landed on her index finger.

She watched the butterfly for a moment, thinking about the so called butterfly effect. When Concubine Mu walked in her direction, the butterfly naturally fly away.

From the expression on the woman's face, it was clear that she was tired after entertaining Madam Qu in several matters.

"Would you like to accompany me, Concubine Mu?" Nan Hua asked in a calm tone.

Concubine Mu smiled. "Many thanks for the offer. I didn't expect to see you come out today. Most of the time you're staying inside your quarter and not even pay even a short visit outside."

"I need some fresh air." Nan Hua looked at the sky. "And it's time to speed up the game a bit."

"Indeed."

Concubine Mu had only spoken with Nan Hua once before this, but she felt that everything that happened in the residence was inside this young girl's control. Even though she was not directly affecting many things, she still managed to cause some disturbances here and there from time to time.

Most of the commotion that had occurred lately started from here. Whether they realized it or not, it was what Concubine Mu noticed.

"A concubine had just been punished yesterday." Concubine Mu used her sleeve to cover her mouth. "And it's my turn next."

Nan Hua looked at Concubine Mu but the latter was merely showed a faint smile on her face. It seemed as if she was not saying that her life was in danger just now and only have a normal conversation with Nan Hua.

"Why are you here?"

"Hmm?" Concubine Mu was a bit surprised by the abrupt question. She looked at Nan Hua and blinked her eyes before laughing faintly. "Even if I have some capabilities, there are things that can't be changed. Once they're set in stone, what can a powerless young girl do to change it?"

Even though she said it in calm and joking tone, there was a hint of sadness layered inside her tone. If she had a choice, she might not want things to end up this way. But since it had come to this, she just had to live with it.

It was not ideal, but it was not completely bad either.

"Every action has consequences." Concubine Mu closed her eyes for a moment. "And not everyone can be given the best choices. Among the bad and worst, picking the bad one would be better."

Nan Hua didn't reply. She merely looked at Concubine Mu, who was sitting there, looking into a distance.

The two of them didn't speak anymore and simply stayed there in silence. Their servants were all very confused why these two didn't do anything, but they didn't dare to disturb their Miss.

All they knew was that these two somehow wanted to stay under the tree and sat there for a long period of time.

In silence on top of that.
