"Your Highness?"
Mu Fei Xin didn't answer immediately as she paid close attention to Nan Hua's expression. She had met with so many other nobles and after she got married to Prince Yang Lu, there were various reaction. Some of them supported her while some others despised her and blatantly went against her.
She didn't exactly have good time together with many other noble ladies.
There were also some who were calm when facing her. After all, there were also those who were taught to keep neutral ground by their parents. But this was the first time Mu Fei Xin saw someone like Nan Hua who was so calm and composed as if this matter had no relationship whatsoever with her.
While she didn't show any disrespect, it seemed as if Nan Hua didn't even care about her position. The way she looked at her was so calm without revealing anything.
For the first time, Mu Fei Xin felt that she was meeting with someone who was of the same status as her.
But it was impossible.

Recalling the rumors that was swirling in the Capital City, Mu Fei Xin wanted to scoff at whoever spreading that rumor. She knew very well that after meeting with Nan Hua, she would never believe that rumor anymore.
While Nan Hua could act unremarkable, she understood that this girl was anything but ordinary.
"Do you know why Nan Family is willing to help us out?" Mu Fei Xin changed her question.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "We're not helping you, Your Highness."
"But…"
"We're doing our duty as soldiers of Fei Yang Kingdom."
Mu Fei Xin was stumped for a moment before understanding what Nan Hua said. The Nan Family was a military family, excluding those who were currently in the Capital City, and they naturally would not stay idly when there was someone who started a war in Fei Yang Kingdom.
It was only natural for them to make a move in order to make sure that Hai Family would not succeed.
It was only a 'coincidence' that they helped them.
"I see. Thank you for enlightening me, Young Miss Nan."
Nan Hua arched her eyebrows. The way Mu Fei Xin greeted her seemed to be telling her that she would not regard the concubine daughter of Nan Family as part of Nan Family.
"I didn't do anything worthy of your thanks, Your Highness."
Mu Fei Xin chuckled. "Did your Aunt taught you to speak so politely? You don't have to be so afraid of me."
Looking at the princess consort in front of her, Nan Hua was silent. She wanted to say that she was not afraid, but she only followed the etiquette to avoid trouble. After all, she was taught to stay as ordinary as possible in order to be able to do whatever she was tasked to do.
