Chapter 489 Rejection
And it was one of the reasons why Nan Hua choose to come here.
She wanted to know whether it was possible for her to recover her memories or not. This matter had never been told to anyone because transmigration was such an abstract thing that no one would be able to understand.

There were several other transmigrated people in this world.
But she couldn't talk to them about this.
The meal was cold and stiff. When Nan Shu Cheng finally put down his chopsticks, the concubines also began to make their move, asking about him and also about many other things.
Nan Hua was not interested to listen to their blabbers. She divided her attention and noticed the woman who sat in front of Nan Xin, her birth mother.
'She's Concubine Mei.'
Mei Du Xia, Concubine Mei, was one of the few concubines who entered this residence at the same time as Concubine Qu. The two of them were pregnant during the time Madam Nan were conceiving. Though, Concubine Qu had a child faster than Concubine Mei and her child was a boy while Concubine Mei had a daughter.
That child ended up being the bargaining chip for Concubine Qu to hold better position in the household until she drove Madam Nan away.
"Nan Hua," Madam Qu suddenly called. "Since it's rare for you to stay here, how about if I introduce you to my friends?"
Madam Qu had held the position as the legal wife for several years. During this time, it was clear that she was making good use of her elevated position in order to seize many things that she used to be unable to.
One of them was the connection.
She had built a lot of connections and had friends from many circles.
Nan Hua raised her head and looked straight at Madam Qu, who was sitting right in front of her. "There's no need, Madam Qu."
"Shu Cheng, what do you think?" Madam Qu chose to switch to her husband in order to be able to get help.
Nan Shu Cheng was looking at Nan Hua and frowned. He didn't want to see Nan Hua embarrass him if she were to perform badly in front of others. "Go and meet with Madam Qu's friends. You need to learn more. The Capital City is different from Wind City."
"There's no need."
The same answer, the same attitude.
"Listen to your father, Nan Hua," Nan Shu Cheng's voice turned stern.
Nan Hua looked straight at her father. Her dark obsidian eyes were cold and indifferent, yet it looked chilling. It seemed to be able to pierce through the heart of whoever were looking in her direction.
"Why?"
Only one word.
Yet, the images of her asking that one question seemed to pierce through Nan Shu Cheng's heart. For a moment, Nan Hua's image overlapped with the images of Madam Nan.
Because the rule stated that a man had to spend the third and the fifth day of the month with his wife, he still had to sleep in Madam Nan's quarter twice a month. There were more than once he gave some order and the only answer she gave was that one question.
Why?
Nan Shu Cheng closed his eyes as it turned harsh once more. "You have to listen to me because I'm your father."
"Is that so?" Nan Hua answered calmly. She didn't say anything else and continued to eat leisurely as if the matter just now didn't have any relation with her whatsoever.
Everyone felt stifled.
Nan Shu Cheng looked at his daughter before slamming the cup of tea on the table. He really couldn't stand staying in the same place as her.
"I'm going to Hillside Courtyard."
Concubine Su, who stayed in Hillside Courtyard, smiled brightly as if she had won the biggest lottery.
