"I see."
"You're not surprised."
It was a statement and not a question. Shangguan Die was absolutely sure when she saw Nan Hua's reaction just now.
Nan Hua glanced at Shangguan Die. "A person can't hide their true nature forever. Sooner or later, it'll be revealed."
"Is that why you allow her to make a move?" Shangguan Die arched her eyebrows.
Based on observing Nan Hua, Shangguan Die could see that Nan Hua didn't even bother trying to build any relationship with Madam Qu. Each and every one of her action was blocking every advance Madam Qu could possibly make. It caused people to know instantly that Nan Hua and Madam Qu didn't have any good relationship.
"What's the use of maintaining a fa?ade that will shatter very soon?" Nan Hua was too lazy to maintain the act of a filial daughter. Besides, with such a big commotion that happened back then, it would be weird for her to be able to accept the person who had caused her birth mother to die.
Shangguan Die nodded. "I see." freёwebnovel.com
"Are you worried?"
"If it's you, should I be?" Shangguan Die chuckled. She glanced at Nan Hua. "With your capabilities, I'm sure that you have your own plan. However, I do hope that you can still be careful in front of those foxes."
"I will." Nan Hua walked with Shangguan Die and crossed the garden. The Temple felt peaceful yet at the same time, it felt surreal. It was as if this was all nothing but a dream.
But it was also the truth. No matter how much they tried to stay in this place, they would eventually have to return unless they chose to join the temple. And when they returned, the problem that they delayed before would have to be settled.
This was nothing more than temporary refuge.
"Would you trust her words?"
"Over yours?" Shangguan Die arched her eyebrows. "Not a chance. Though, I doubted that other noble ladies will be the same. She's more active in the society and you haven't been in the Capital City for a long time. Without showing your face or even attending those parties, there are not many people who will be on your side."
"I know."
Shangguan Die was looking at Nan Hua as the latter walked towards Nan Hua's quarter. She felt that Nan Hua also understood this point, yet she didn't try to even have a place in the society. For women, their reputation and their social skill would determine their position.
If rumors spread that they were not good, it wouldn't be good for them either.
Yet, Nan Hua was not worried that Nan Xin and Madam Qu would destroy her reputation thoroughly. They had already built an image for Nan Hua from the very moment she left the Capital City. But there didn't seem to be much of retaliation from Nan Hua.
In fact, it seemed to very slow.
