The officials there were all acting polite and greeted Old Master Nan along with the others. This time, neither one of the three young masters dared to neglect their etiquette lessons. It was fine when they were alone but if it was outside… their grandfather would spank them even if their mother let it be.
Nan Hua was staying at the back with Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai on her left and right. Behind her, Feng Ao Si was looking at her with both fear and apprehension. He looked like a lost puppy as he kept on watching Nan Hua every few seconds.
Even though Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai noticed his gaze, they didn't even try to allow him to get close to Nan Hua.
"General Nan, this place is also very vast. Do you want to look around?" the official asked.
Old Master Nan really wished to show his fist and blew them all back, telling them how useless it was for him to do that. In the end, he sighed. "I feel rather tired. I think I'll return first."
"Ah, alright."
"Thank you for visiting us in your busy time."
"Yes, we hope for you to recover faster, General Nan."
They exchanged a few more pleasantries as they acted as if they wished for Old Master Nan to recover immediately. Looking at their 'genuine' expression, Nan Luo even felt the urge to puke.
He really wondered how in the world someone could last so long with only flattering other people like that.
"Time to go back."
Nan Hua looked around once more but she didn't find the person whom she was looking for. Among the officials who came to search for Old Master Nan, Zhang Dan Shui couldn't be found.
Walking out of the building, Nan Hua saw Zhang Dan Shui walked with another official beside him. The two of them were stunned and stopped in their spot. They immediately bowed down politely.
"Vice Governor Zhang Dan Shui (Official Yu Fei Rong) greets General Nan."
Old Master Nan waved his hand. He looked at Zhang Dan Shui as he knew that his granddaughter would want to meet with him. However, trying to make excuse so that Nan Hua could meet with him… was a bit difficult.
In the first place, what kind of excuse could he make?
"Grandfather, can we look around at the garden?" Nan Hua asked softly.
Old Master Nan arched his eyebrows. He pointed at Zhang Dan Shui. "My grandchildren are all quite tired from having to walk around. Let them stay in the garden for a bit."
"Replying to General Nan, I understand."
"Official Yu, right? May I ask what you're doing outside?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"Ah, it's like this…"
While Yu Fei Rong was busy to explain, Zhang Dan Shui led the children to the garden. Nan Luo was curious as to why Nan Hua wanted to head to the garden but he didn't care as long as it was something that Nan Hua wanted.
Feng Ao Kuai's eyes flashed as they stopped before a small fountain. "The water here is very clear."
