Chapter 80 - Meeting New Faces (1)

"And lastly..." Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Nan Family also send their children here."

Nan Family?

Nan Luo narrowed his eyes. He knew for sure that Xiao Yan wouldn't be so tactless as to mention the two of them since it was plainly obvious. Thus, the only one he could think was his two siblings from his father... wait, step siblings.

Tsk.

"To think that we're going to meet again. How annoying," Nan Luo muttered under his breath.

Nan Hua kept her calm and lightly watched Nan Luo. "Who accompany them?"

Not all children would be entrusted to their servants like Nan Luo and Nan Hua. Some of them would have their elder accompany them, usually it would be the madam or the concubine.

Considering Nan Family's condition, Nan Hua could guess that the one who come should be one of the concubines.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"It's Concubine Qu."

Concubine Qu, who has been elevated to be Madam Qu, was one of the several concubines Nan Shu Cheng had. Her full name was Qu Fei Jiao and known for her beauty and elegant temperament. It was due to her low family status that she ended up as a concubine rather than the main wife of some other officials.

If she wanted, it was not impossible to match her to an official but her husband's status would be much lower than her current one.

"If it's her, then Nan Hou Xiang should be quite smug." Nan Luo's face darkened when he talked about his half-brother.

Nan Hou Xiang was Concubine Qu's only child and also the second son of Nan Shu Cheng. He was just a few months younger than Nan Luo and Nan Hua, which meant that he was the third child. It was said that he had inherited his father's talent as scholar as he had begun his study slowly but surely.

In total, Nan Shu Cheng had 4 children. Nan Luo was the oldest followed by Nan Hua with only a few seconds' differences or perhaps a few minutes. The third one was Nan Hou Xiang who was a few months younger than them since his birthday was in Summer. The last one was Nan Xin who was a year younger than the twins, reaching the age of 8 just right after New Year.

"Xiao Yan, ask Hou Xiang when they settle the location."

"Yes, Young Master."

Nan Luo stretched his body lightly. Honestly, he was itching for some exercise right now. However, he knew that there wouldn't be anyone to accompany him since it would be hard for Nan Hua to even spare more time to train.

Looking into the distance, the two of them noticed a group of people, no, it's a group of women, coming to their direction. The one leading the entourage was a woman dressed in light pink dress, which make her look beautiful but it didn't seem to suit her age that much.

"Concubine Qu," Nan Luo said through gritted teeth.

Nan Hua raised her head to look at the woman in front of her. Qu Fei Jiao was only in her mid twenties but with makeup, she looked even younger. Unfortunately, her face shape was not one that could hide her real age easily.

When one was young, they could easily wear light colored dress without looking out of place. But when they were older, it looked a bit mismatch, which was what Concubine Qu currently looked like in their eyes.

It didn't match her age at all.

She looked like someone who was trying to wear children clothes even though one had to say that she was pretty.

"Ah, it turns out my children are all here," Concubine Qu greeted them with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

Your children?

Nan Luo sneered internally when he heard what Concubine Qu said. "What do you want here?"

Concubine Qu didn't seem to care about Nan Luo's rude remark. "Since you're all part of the Nan Family, come and join me in the Western Courtyard. Ah Xiang and Xin'er would be happy if you could join."

"There's no need." Nan Luo shook his head.

"Are you still angry at Mother, child? There's no need to be so angry with me, is there? The one who make the decision is my husband," Concubine Qu said with brilliant smile on her face.. It sounded as if she was coaxing a child but in truth, she was warning him to not act out of place.
