Concubine Qu had barely eaten anything but she quickly stood up to greet the young lady. From her expression, it was clear that she had already known that Shangguan Die would come when they were eating.
Nan Hou Xiang and Nan Xin still slipped the meat into their mouth and chewed silently. Right now, the plate barely contained any meat since it has been taken by the two children.
'Shangguan Die is also in this quarter.' Nan Hua raised her head. Her plate was filled with mostly vegetables and looked quite pitiful. She could see a beautiful woman coming in their direction.
It would be a wonder if Shangguan Die didn't cause a commotion wherever she went.
"Madam Qu," Shangguan Die greeted. Her eyes landed on the plates before her and then to the four children. "It seems the number of children had increased ever since the last time I visit here." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"These are Nan Luo and Nan Hua. Due to some circumstances, they're staying with their grandfather." Concubine Qu smiled awkwardly.
"Nan Luo (Nan Hua) greets Miss Shangguan," The two of them greeted politely at the same time when they saw Shangguan Die looking in their direction. The way they bowed or curtsied was clearly a model role for any other people.
They were simply perfect.
Looking at how effortlessly Nan Hua did the greetings, Nan Xin's face turned slightly red. She quickly stood up and greeted Shangguan Die followed by Nan Hou Xiang. Because of the food in their mouth, they were a bit late in their greetings.
If there was no comparison, it would have been fine. But now that there was a comparison, they looked a bit unsightly.
"Your education is a bit interesting, Madam Qu." Shangguan Die smiled.
Concubine Qu was still smiling but she was cursing the twins inside her heart countless times. She wanted Shangguan Die to pay more attention to the twins rather than her son but it didn't seem to work so well.
Well, it was only the beginning.
"They're still young, so small mistakes are common," Concubine Qu gave her excuse.
Shangguan Die laughed faintly. "Right, they're still young. May I join the lunch, Madam Qu?"
"Yes, you may."
Looking at how polite Concubine Qu towards Shangguan Die was, Nan Hua began to wonder whether the Shangguan Family was really that powerful. Was there any need for Concubine Qu to coax that family to this extent.
Nan Luo looked at Nan Hua and his hand moved to her hand. He silently wrote several words quickly.
'Her brother is courting Shangguan branch Family members.'
Nan Hua was speechless.
Fine, since the Shangguan Family was now part of Concubine Qu in laws, it seemed that Concubine Qu wanted to strike off good relationship with them. But didn't she pick the wrong opponent? Shangguan Die was known to be very temperamental.
No wonder Concubine Qu wanted them to come here.
