Chapter 463 New Year
Some people think that Shangguan Family had gone crazy.
On the other hand, those who knew the details felt that some people were very pitiful. After all, some smaller families were destroyed almost overnight because of their bad influence to the people within Shangguan Family.
Shangguan Die looked at her mother, who was locked inside her quarter. Her grandfather had ordered for her to stay there and reflect herself for a year.
A year.
How could someone like Second Madam Shangguan, who was used to living a lavish lifestyle, withstand being locked in one place for an entire year? And how much chaos would it be when the other concubine of her father end up rampaging in the household?
She knew that her residence wouldn't stay intact anymore.
Everything would change.
"Mother," Shangguan Die called.
"What are you doing here?" Second Madam Shangguan looked at her own daughter and felt extremely aggrieved. She was trying hard to make sure that Shangguan Die could succeed and live well, but what did her daughter do?
She didn't even defend her.
Shangguan Die was silent for a moment. "Please take care. I'll be going now."
Just like her mother, her grandfather didn't let her off. Even though Old Master Shangguan was a very soft person, he was also someone with principle. Since he had said that he would take care of the mess, that naturally included her.
She would be sent away to Yi Shang Temple and stayed there for the time being. Even though her grandfather hadn't said anything, Shangguan Die was absolutely sure that she would be banished for her entire life.
...
Nan Family
When Nan Luo heard about Shangguan Family sending so many present, he was dumbfounded. He had never expected that they would ever try to send so many gifts over to their house as an apology.
"Did the Shangguan Family rob an entire family's treasury?" Nan Luo asked as he looked at the list.
"It's from Shangguan Die and Shangguan Mi's mother's family." Feng Ao Kuai clicked his tongue. He was more knowledgeable than Nan Luo and recognized some of the things there something from those family. "We'll be incurring their wrath should they thrive in the future."
"It didn't matter. Nan Family had so many enemies anyway." Nan Luo shrugged, already gotten used to it. Even in Han Zhong City, there were still assassins coming to get them at night. This caused them to be used to stay vigilant almost all the time.
Nan Hua looked at her twin brother and slowly said, "Princess Hu's enemy is not Nan Family but the two of us."
Nan Luo froze in place. He thought that Nan Hua thought of Princess Hu as Nan Family's enemy since she didn't ask anything the night before. But hearing what Nan Hua said just now, Nan Luo felt that his sister knew much more than him.
"Hua'er, that's..."
"Do you know about this, Luo?" Nan Hua stared at her twin brother.
Being stared so intently by Nan Hua naturally caused Nan Luo to feel awkward. He felt that this was truly a 'great' way to start the New Year. His own twin sister was the one who was actually questioning him.
"I know." Nan Luo sighed.
Nan Hua put down the list in her hand. "How many families did our mother family used to make enemies with?"
"Not many." Nan Luo scratched the back of his head. Their mother never told them anything, but Old Master Nan had leaked some of the important matters to him. It was because they needed him to be careful. "Compared to Nan Family, they're a drop in the bucket."
"But it still ended in the entire family destroyed?"
Nan Luo was silent when he heard that.
