At this moment, Shangguan Mi knew very well that because her entrance to Long Family Residence was not ideal, it was time for her to pay for what she asked.
Old Madam Long furrowed her eyebrows when she saw the not so polite reaction from Shangguan Mi. She snorted. "Does your parent not teach you that you're not supposed to rise your head before there's order?"
"This one apologies." Shangguan Mi lowered her head once more.
However, she felt that her heart was thumping madly while her blood coursed rapidly. She was angry and humiliated, but there was really nothing that she could do.
Asking Long Qian Xing to return?
He could simply use the excuse that he had been called for war. What was more important than defending the nation?
If she really tried to bring him back forcefully, her reputation would be tarnished.
Her fingers were clenched so tightly into a fist that her nails embedded into her skin. Blood started to seep out and Old Madam Long noticed it. She waved her hand. "Escort Concubine Mi to her quarter."
"Yes."
And when Shangguan Mi saw the dilapidated quarter she got, her heart turned even colder.
How was she supposed to survive in this environment?
…
Nan Family Residence
The sun soon set in the horizon as Nan Hua finally had her dinner.
"Miss, it's cold outside. How about you rest first?" Xiao Yun asked.
Nan Hua glanced outside and nodded. She pointed at the tray in front of her. "Bring these back, Mu Yan."
Mu Yan paused for a moment then obeyed, "Yes, Miss."
Taking the tray, Mu Yan quickly walked out of Nan Hua's Quarter. She knew the direction to the kitchen, but she purposely turned to the other side as if she had forgotten where she was. It was the direction of Madam Qu's Quarter.
Because Madam Qu used to be Nan Shu Cheng's favorite concubines, her quarter was located right beside Madam Nan's quarter. Nan Hua knew about it right away because the quarter not far from hers were filled with servants and noise.
As for the reason why this quarter was left empty.
It was obviously because this place was not as good as the place next door.
When Mu Yan passed by the location, she could see Nan Shu Cheng's servants were waiting in front of the door. She quickly passed by the gate and walked to the back, listening to the conversation of the couple inside while slowed down her pace.
Prang! Prang!
The sound of porcelain broken could be heard even from a distance away.
It seemed that Nan Shu Cheng was terribly angry to be able to show his emotion so openly in front of his 'beloved' woman.
"That damn b*tch! If not because of Father, I'll never…" Nan Shu Cheng felt like throwing another porcelain right now. He had only tolerated what Nan Hua did because of his father. Without his father, he would have never even tried to withstand Nan Hua's appearance in front of him.
Yet, at the same time, he knew very well that it would be impossible for him to mistreat his daughter openly like he did many years ago.
There were too many people who wanted to see him fall and his father no longer protected him so much. He would not bother trying to help him when he was down and his career had been rocky for the past few years.
He didn't have any promotion and even his current position was a bit rocky.
