Chapter 514 Madam Qu’s Calculation

Chapter 514 Madam Qu’s Calculation That would definitely cause Madam Qu to be divorced immediately by Nan Shu Cheng if the latter still wanted to be an official.

Nan Xin had no other choice but to report the matter to Madam Qu. With her servant giving off the same report, it could be seen that their words were the truth.

"You're telling me that First Young Miss Shangguan, Shangguan Die, asked her to stay behind and have dinner together?" Madam Qu asked with ashen expression. She was thinking of teaching a lesson to Nan Hua through this one meal but it had failed even before she could do anything.

"Y...Yes," Nan Xin replied with trembling voice.

Madam Qu took a deep breath as her heart was boiling in anger. "You can leave."

"Yes, Mother."

As if she was given redemption, Nan Xin quickly run away. She would not even stay in this place for even a second longer and possibly got the brunt from her mother's anger. It was already enough that she was suffering so badly all this time.

Prang!

The teacup in Madam Qu's hand was smashed to the ground. Her face was dark as she snorted. "That b*tch really know how to coax people to her side. I have underestimated that b****!"

"Madam, please quell your anger. First Young Miss Shangguan didn't have any real power anymore and could only stay in this temple. Even if First Young Miss Nan befriend her, it would not benefit her that much."

Madam Qu snorted.

She knew that much, but what caused her to feel fear was the fact that Nan Hua took a completely different route than Madam Nan. Back then, she managed to isolate Madam Nan and eliminated everyone who tried to befriend the other party. This was the reason why she could eventually gain the entire power in the harem.

"I already have the entire world as my enemy. Just adding Nan Family wouldn't change that much." Shangguan Die shrugged. There were already a lot of people who wanted her death and misery.

Since they wanted to see her suffer so much, she would show them that even in this temple, she was still the same Shangguan Die. She would make sure that no one would be able to force her to do what she didn't want to do.

"It's been hard on you."

"Why are you talking like my elder when you're younger than me?" Shangguan Die glanced at Nan Hua and chuckled. "I have chosen this path, so naturally I'll tread on it no matter how painful it would be."

Whether it would be thorny, rainy, sunny, or even stormy, Shangguan Die had already promised herself that she would talk this path until the very end. No matter what other people would say to her and no matter how much they would be disgusted by her, Shangguan Die just wanted to survive and live well.

She didn't have any skill to survive on her own, so her choice has always been very limited.

"I see."

Nan Hua watched as the food was served and the two of them ate quietly. She noticed that there were still a lot of meat in the meal. It seemed that even though Shangguan Family chose to send Shangguan Die here, they still made sure that she was living a rather pampered life.

Indeed, for someone who has been pampered for her entire life, it would be hard for her to choose a hardship life like in the village. Even if it was not impossible, it would be a hard transition, one that might not be bearable for a weak person.

"Have you ever thought of slipping away from here?" Nan Hua asked after they were done with the meal.

Shangguan Die looked at Nan Hua and chuckled. "How do you expect an unarmed young lady to roam the street and forest? There are too many bandits and beasts out there."

Rather than betting on uncertain future where she could die at any moment, she would rather break her moral compass.
