Chapter 523 Returning to Nan Family Residence

Chapter 523 Returning to Nan Family Residence

"Who is it?" Xiao Yun asked on behalf of Nan Hua.

"Miss, my surname is Yun. Merchant Lin sent me to take your measurement to make the clothes."

"Come in."

The door opened and a middle aged woman walked in. She curtsied when she saw Nan Hua and said softly, "Please pardon this one for the offense, Young Miss."

"It's fine." Nan Hua turned to look at Xiao Yun, who quickly wrote Nan Hua's measurement on the bamboo strip and handed it to the middle aged woman. "Please use this, Ma'am."

"I understand."

Some people didn't like other people to touch them, so they would have prepared their measurement beforehand. The middle aged woman had met with several of them, so she was accustomed with this.

After sending the middle aged woman away, Nan Hua sat on the bed and glanced towards the balcony. Xiao Yun moved towards the balcony and stood there to block Nan Hua from the man's field of vision.

Nan Hua spoke unhurriedly, "Would you like to talk more, Merchant Lin?"

Lin Yuan watched Xiao Yun and Nan Hua's move, feeling a bit amused. "Young Miss Hua, I would like to ask about the present you would like to receive. My friend is a bit nagging and wish for me to retrieve anything you want."

"There's no need."

"I implore you to ask for something."

Right now, Lin Yuan sounded as if he was begging. It made Nan Hua wondered what Long Qian Xing would do to Lin Yuan if she didn't accept his request.

It was not like Long Qian Xing would do anything, but Lin Yuan knew that his friend was trying to get on Nan Hua's good side. Even though Long Qian Xing hadn't said anything, it was his instinct as a man that made him felt that Long Qian Xing would certainly be grateful if he helped a bit.

Since he only had money, it would be better for him to just spend it so that he could make Long Qian Xing be grateful to him.

Nan Hua was silent.

She didn't really know what she actually wanted because the Dark Moon Organization had been able to provide her with many things that she required. However, there were indeed some limitation since she couldn't reach the north areas.

"In that case, is it possible for you to find some medical books from the north?"

"Medical books?" Lin Yuan was stupefied. He thought for a moment then nodded. "Alright, I will keep an eye for that."

"Many thanks, Merchant Lin."

Medical books were by no means cheap. For Lin Yuan to be saying that he would keep an eye meant that he would try to provide Nan Hua with what she needed. It was already something that was more than what Nan Hua could possibly ask him for.

Not to mention, there were many families who tried to keep their family secret methods within the family and refused to let outsider see it. Thus, obtaining their books and skills were extremely difficult.

And at the North, there was one big family that had so many books yet they never divulged to outsiders.

Nan Hua's eyes' flashed when she thought of those people. She had dealt with some of their family members, but she had the feeling that she would deal with them again in the future when the time for Nan Family to clash with Zhang Xu Kingdom came.

It wouldn't be a peaceful encounter.

After saying what he wanted to say, Lin Yuan left quietly. He returned to his room while adding things to his notebook and scratched the back of his head.

'To think that she'll ask for medical books. This will not be easy.'

Lin Yuan thought that it would be just like any other girls who asked for some items that he could easily find. But what Nan Hua asked was out of his expectation. Not to mention, the fact that Nan Hua's servant could notice him within seconds showed the high defense around her.

The protection around Nan Hua was not a joke.

Great General Nan really put high importance to his granddaughter.

'Oh well, forget it. To think that I'm waiting for them for so many days but they only appear here…. I better let Qian Xing know about my pain so that he would compensate me~.'

…

The day passed quietly.

The next day, they arrived in Nan Family Residence safely. Madam Qu was already so pissed off that she no longer cared for Nan Hua and Nan Xin. All she wanted was to be able to get her power in the residence back.

"Madam Qu, you are back." Concubine Mei and the other concubines welcomed Madam Qu in front of the main hall.

Madam Qu nodded. She looked around. "It seems that without me around, the atmosphere had changed."

"Madam Qu must be joking, there are not many changes." Concubine Mei kept a straight face.

Madam Qu sneered internally but her expression showed none of those contempt. She looked at Concubine and said each words slowly, "Is that so. I have troubled sisters a lot for the past few days."

"It's no trouble at all."

"I have just returned, so I would like some rest." Madam Qu nodded at the other servants and looked at her own maidservant. "When Shu Cheng is back, tell me."

"Yes, Madam."

Meanwhile, Concubine Mei dismissed the servants before taking Nan Xin inside. She was feeling a bit anxious because during the time she was in power, she came to realize many tricks that Madam Qu had employed to suppress them. She had changed many employees to those neutral and her people, hoping that Madam Qu would not find them because there were so many of them.

At the same time, Concubine Mei was worried that Madam Qu had mistreated Nan Xin when they were in the temple.

"Xin'er, did anything happen in the temple?" Concubine Mei asked in a low voice.

Nan Xin looked at her mother and shook her head. "There are many outsiders, how can anything happen to me, Mom?"
