Chapter 497 War of Words

They were all confused and it was impossible to ask directly.

Old Madam Long greeted her friends one by one before looking around the room. At this time, Nan Hua was standing not far from them, waiting for Old Madam Long to finish talking with the other old women. She was not that tactless to disturb them when they were talking so happily with each other.

Upon seeing Nan Hua, Old Madam Long's eyes lit up. She walked forward. "Hua'er, have you been well lately?"

"Grandmother," Nan Hua greeted politely. She nodded. "Yes, I'm well."

"That's good." Old Madam Long grabbed Nan Hua's hand and patted it tenderly. She knew that Nan Hua had been staying in Nan Shu Cheng's Residence for the past month. Because of this matter, she had been fretting from time to time.

What if Nan Shu Cheng kept on targeting Nan Hua?

What if she didn't like to stay there?

But upon seeing that Nan Hua was well, Old Madam Long put her heart at ease. Since it would be hard to invite Nan Hua to her residence, she still could pay a visit to some banquets where Nan Hua would be.

"Grandmother, you should have more rest." Nan Hua looked at Old Madam Long. With Old Madam Long's condition, it wouldn't do her good to stay outside and have so much exercise.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"In that case, you should come to visit me." Old Madam Long looked at Nan Hua unhappily.

Nan Hua felt a bit helpless when facing Old Madam Long's request. She nodded obediently. "I'll ask for Father's permission later, Grandmother."

"That's better." Old Madam Long beamed.

"Does it only possible through Flower Seeing Banquet?" Old Madam Long shook her head and patted Nan Hua's hand. "To be unable to see through the surroundings just showed poor comprehension and intelligence."

Nan Hua chose not to comment.

She knew that Old Madam Long was chiding Empress Dowager Mei's lack of intelligence. In fact, Old Madam Long even wondered how could someone as excellent as Emperor Yang Zhou come from a woman like this? Not to mention that his father, Emperor Xuan, was not any better.

For the child to inherit the grandfather's intellect instead of his parents was truly a blessing from the Heaven.

Or Fei Yang Kingdom would never be able to stand tall and probably suffer worse fate of being destroyed by the other kingdoms because of their inability to protect their land.

At this time, Empress Dowager Mei swept her gaze and landed on Nan Hua. Her eyes glinted as she walked over.

Nan Hua bowed the moment Empress Dowager Mei came over. "Nan Hua, First Young Miss of Nan Family, greets Her Highness Empress Dowager Mei."

"Rise." Empress Dowager Mei was smiling widely. "I haven't heard anything about you, Young Miss Nan. Have you been well?"

"Many thanks for your concern, Your Highness. This one is staying in her father's home and had been well." Nan Hua was careful in her speech, selecting each words to say.

"That's good." Empress Dowager Mei nodded. "Have you thought about the....."

"Your Highness, did you try to ignore me on purpose?" Old Madam Long interjected from the side.

Empress Dowager Mei's lips twitched. Her gaze turned dark when she saw Old Madam Long sitting right beside Nan Hua. "It's been a while, Old Madam Long. I presume you have been well."

"I'm still alive." Old Madam Long stared back and smiled. "And my life has been quite interesting lately. There are a lot of additional insects coming over because of a certain big insect's words."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

Old Madam Long was very daring... to compare Empress Dowager Mei to an insect. There wouldn't be anyone who dared to do that in the entire Fei Yang Kingdom aside from her.
