"I will not dare to do that, Father." Nan Shu Cheng felt sweat gathered on his back. He forced a smile. "She's my daughter, I'll naturally care for her."
Old Master Nan snorted.
"How about Nan Luo?" Nan Shu Cheng only heard that Nan Hua would go back to his residence but there were no words about his son.
"He's going to the battlefield."
"Battlefield? Father…"
"He's not going to become an official." Old Master Nan looked at his son with a fierce gaze.
Nan Shu Cheng's words stuck in his throat. He knew that the glare his father gave to him was a warning. It warned him not to try to do anything to his son in order to make Nan Luo followed his steps.
With no other choice, Nan Shu Cheng could only grit his teeth.
"Nan Luo is indeed better to become a soldier," Madam Qu interjected slowly. She stood behind Nan Shu Cheng, acting as if she was a kind and loving mother.
"I didn't ask you."
Madam Qu's smile stiffened, but she still tried to keep her appearance. She knew that Old Master Nan didn't like her, but she didn't expect that he would not even give her any face when she talked to him. Did he want everyone to know how bad his relationship with his daughter in law was?
She felt displeased.
Nan Shu Cheng waved his hand to block Madam Qu. He looked at his father. "I understand, Father. Please don't mind her."
Old Master Nan snorted once more. "I'll be going now. You better keep your words. I'm watching you, Nan Shu Cheng."
Hearing his father's way of calling him, Nan Shu Cheng knew that his father hadn't forgiven him. Old Master Nan would not call him with his full name unless he was talking about some important matter. Now that he did that, it was clear that he meant he didn't care about Nan Shu Cheng's opinion and only wanted him to do his 'duty' properly.
His hands balled up to form fists. Even though he felt aggrieved, there were no suitable words to express it outwards.
"Yes, Father."
Nan Luo looked unwillingly as Nan Hua walked forward. Her steps were slow but steady as she walked towards the gate. The gate was open and there were many other of Nan Shu Cheng's concubines who stood there, welcoming her. At the same time, both Nan Hou Xiang and Nan Xin were there.
"First Sister." Nan Hou Xiang nodded at Nan Hua.
"Sister." Nan Xin smiled sweetly.
Nan Hua looked at the two of them and nodded faintly. Acting all aloof and hateful would only put her in difficult situation. It was fine when she was still staying in Old Master Nan's residence because they wouldn't be able to do anything.
But now that they were staying together, she had to pay attention.
How interesting.
