*The latter part of the chapter might be a bit gory. It'll be better if you're already above 13 years old to read it. Readers' discretion is necessary. Read at your own caution.*
The servant trembled and tried her best to speak, "This… Commander Hou is attacking Aunt Mo from the very beginning and didn't let her to argue much. Because of that, Aunt Mo failed to deal with the two brats…."
"Commander Hou? How dare he defy me?" Concubine Qu was even angrier when this matter was mentioned.
However, the servant was feeling remorseful. Commander Hou was someone who had experienced battlefield. When he was standing before them, he was emitting thick killing intent. How could they stay calm in the face of someone that scary?
"Madam…"
Prang!
"You're so useless!" Concubine Qu berated once more and felt even more annoyed as time passed by. She knew very well that shouting wouldn't change anything but Aunt Mo was someone who had stayed by her side….
Losing her… was painful.
The servants all kowtowed on the ground, not daring to even look up to look at Concubine Qu. They were worried that the moment they did that, they would immediately be killed without any corpse intact.
They were all afraid.
"But Miss, the information regarding First Miss Nan shouldn't be wrong…" the servant was also aggrieved.
They were all calculating that based on the fact that Nan Hua was practicing martial arts, there would be mark of it. Who would have thought that her small hand would be extremely smooth as if she had never worked at all? Even the best medicine wouldn't have been able to do that.
Little did they know that because Nan Hua mainly practicing with needles, the mark was not that obvious. With the good medicine her grandfather procured, the mark couldn't even form.
But if they touch her hand, they would notice that some part slightly hardened.
Secondly, they were trying to catch the two of them hunt. The message they received was that the twins hunted together to eat some meat. The problem was: the two siblings were supposed to be hunting and yet they didn't bring anything. What kind of idiot would hunt with their bare hand?
There was also no trace of blood, fight, or anything else.
Thus, all of their accusation turned weak.
Not a single one of them watched directly. And if they tried to head over to the back mountain… they might not be able to get away safely.
Concubine Qu kicked the stool nearby. "She practiced martial arts, yes, I know that Nan Si Qiao also practiced martial arts. But she's so bad that Old Master Nan didn't even allow her to fight at all."
Because of Nan Shu Cheng, she also learned that Nan Si Qiao learned a bit of martial arts. But because Nan Si Qiao didn't have good affinity nor talent, it ended up in the way where Nan Si Qiao had to stop. Not only that, Old Master Nan didn't even allow his daughter to come with him to the battlefield.
"That training must be just momentary interest." Concubine Qu sneered. She slapped the servant in front of her. "Scram!"
"Y…yes!"
The servants quickly rushed up and ran away. Not a single one of them wanted to stay behind when Concubine Qu was angry like this. They still treasured their lives and naturally it meant that they didn't want to create trouble for themselves.
Right now, Concubine Qu was feeling annoyed. She asked Aunt Mo to make a move quickly because she knew that there wouldn't be any other chance. This would also divert the attention from the trouble Nan Xin got herself into yesterday.
Who would have thought that things would turn this way?
How useless!
Another series of porcelains were thrown to the ground.
In his room, Nan Hou Xiang was learning the scripture. He only glanced his eyes up when he heard the sound of broken porcelains before returning to his study. After so many years, he naturally knew that it was useless to disturb his mother when she was angry.
Rather than putting himself in trouble, it would be better to let her calm down first before coming closer.
"Young Master… would you like to continue?" the servant nearby asked in quivered tone.
Nan Hou Xiang's lips curled up to form a smile. "Why not? Bring more bamboo strips."
"Y..Yes!"
Looking at the servants who were working to bring more bamboo strips for him to write, he sneered. The situation didn't seem like that it would calm down anytime soon.
