Chapter 486 The Painful Past

"Miss," Xiao Yun called worriedly.

"I'm fine."

Nan Hua didn't seem to care in the slightest bit about what those people were doing. Since Nan Shu Cheng loved Madam Qu so much, it was only natural that he would want to spend the night with her. However, his way of confiding to his wife was quite unnatural.

With this in factor, Nan Hua would have to change her plan slightly.

"The servants might be watching you more tomorrow, Miss."

"They can watch."

There was nothing that Nan Hua was planning to do either. She had finished most of her training and if she kept her presence low and trained some basic movement in her room, they would never be able to know.

The key was to keep quiet.

Nan Hua waved her hand. "You may go."

"Yes, Miss."

Climbing on the bed, Nan Hua looked at the ceiling. If this was in her original world, she would have been busy checking the bugs all around the place. But in this world, they hadn't developed such technology and so on.

It was much more relaxing.

...

In the next morning, Nan Hua woke up early and had her breakfast. One way or another, the kitchen servants managed to finish their work while some other stronger maidservants were busy carrying kitchen equipment to the side room in Nan Hua's courtyard.

They were working quickly to make sure that it was ready before it was time to cook for lunch.

She hated that face so much.

"Nan Hua, since you've returned, I was thinking of returning the jewelry box that I borrowed from your mother." Madam Qu coughed. "After all, as your new mother, I can't possibly keep on holding onto her belongings."

Madam Nan's jewelry box?

The phrase caused some images to appear within Nan Hua's mind as her eyes turned a shade colder. Borrowing was an incorrect word because Madam Qu literally threatened her mother and snatched that box away.

"I see."

Madam Qu looked at Nan Hua while her servant had handed the box to Xiao Yun. "Shouldn't you be thankful, Nan Hua?"

"Why should I be thankful because you're returning what belong to my mother?" Nan Hua asked back slowly. Each of her words were said in clear voice, as if she wanted to stress the point of her question.

Madam Qu nearly choked. She wanted to rush forward and smash Nan Hua but she could see that Xiao Yun was standing in front of Nan Hua and seemed to be ready to protect her. Recalling Old Master Nan's background in military, she didn't have any doubt that Xiao Yun must have practiced martial arts.

A weak woman like her was not a match against a martial arts practitioner.

"That's good, then I..."

"You may leave, Madam Qu."

Madam Qu's face flushed. "Don't be ungrateful, Nan Hua! You're only here because Nan Shu Cheng allowed you to be!"

Nan Hua stared back, her dark obsidian eyes reflected no emotion. "I know."

I know.

Only two words.

And yet Madam Qu felt that whatever she wanted to say was blocked. No wonder that Nan Xin came crying to her, complaining that Nan Hua was so hard to please. No matter what they said, Nan Hua would respond in such manner, making it impossible for them to even talk properly!

However, when she met with others, this way of speaking would surely offend them.

With that in mind, Madam Qu had an idea how to deal with Nan Hua.
