"But not all family members are kind," Bai Yin added from the back. "There are many others who are trying to stab others from the back."
"Bai Yin, please check the kitchen to see if the breakfast is ready." Xiao Yun shot a dagger towards Bai Yin to make sure that she would not speak about this anymore. What was with this Bai Yin lately, she kept on mentioning about things that would displease Nan Hua.
Bai Yin pursed her lips. She was only saying the truth. However, she was not that idiot to stay in the room and scurried away to check on the kitchen.
"Are you going to read afterwards, Miss?" Xiao Yun changed the conversation carefully.
Nan Hua was actually observing the three servants too. From the way they behaved, she knew very well that they were all already trained to know what their Master was thinking just from observing her expression and gesture. She could see that they were all on edge when they were talking about some matters.
"Yes, prepare the book here."
"Yes, Miss."
The little episode passed without Nan Hua thought so much. But the next day, they got another unwelcomed guest.
At the Ning Shu Pavilion.
Nan Hua and Nan Luo were sparring against each other. Since Nan Hua would be training with Hou Lin soon, Nan Luo insisted on her training more with him. He wanted to spend more time with his twin sister!
Tak! Tak! Tak!
The sound of wood hitting wood filled the small courtyard. The two children were moving rapidly as they switched the roles of the attacker and the defender from time to time.
Swish!
"I got you!" Nan Luo twisted his body and thrusted in Nan Hua's direction.
Barely evading to the side, Nan Hua bent her legs slightly then kicked upwards. The wooden sword was kicked upwards right at Nan Luo's wrist before a wooden sword stabbed right in the position of his chest, stopping right when it touched his clothes.
"You lost." Nan Hua's voice was calm.
