Chapter 520 Leaving Yi Shang Temple

Chapter 520 Leaving Yi Shang Temple Shangguan Die noticed Nan Hua's gaze, but she laughed faintly. "It's not containing any secret but only telling that the political upheaval is basically over. Besides, it's close to Official Nan's birthday. There's no way he'll celebrate it without his legal wife and two daughters, right?"

Oh right...

Nan Hua would have forgotten if not for Shangguan Die's reminder. Nan Shu Cheng's birthday was around the middle to the end of Spring. It should be next week or two weeks from now.

Honestly, Nan Hua didn't care even if it was tomorrow since she didn't really want to celebrate it.

"And I'm sure that there will be some juicy drama during the event." Shangguan Die giggled. "Those women in the harem will never relax and will try to seize any chance they have. I'm afraid that it'll be difficult for you to survive in such harsh environment."

"I'll be fine."

Nan Hua knew that letting those concubines fought with Madam Qu would be for the best. What she was more worrying would be the fact that Princess Hu would try to invite her to a party during the worst possible moment. If that happened, she would have to resort to some extreme means in order to make sure that she would not fall for her trap.

Tu Family...

The grudge between her and that family would seem to continue until at least one of them fell. Nan Hua was determined to make sure that the one who would stand at the very last moment would be her.

"Alright, I trust your words." Shangguan Die stood up and stretched her body. She smirked. "I'll leave my sister in your care. If she ever dares to do anything presumptuous, you're free to do anything to her."

"I don't need your permission."

Though, Nan Hua doubted that she would be going to Long Family Residence anytime soon. Considering that her father was not the type to give her any chance to go there and made them confined in the house.

The two of them talked a bit more about some matters before they went their way. If other people saw how these two interacted, they would silently wonder whether the two of them were not real sister.

"Madam, we need to take a detour since it'll be too late if we don't take the rest in the nearby village." The Head Guard was trying to convince Madam Qu to follow his advice. It was late and if they forced on, they would have to travel at night.

The night was dangerous outside.

He was not absolutely sure that he would be able to protect Madam Qu perfectly should they force their way through the night. Yet, he was helpless if Madam Qu still decided that they should carry on.

"What do you mean that we should stop? Can't we just continue?" Madam Qu was unwilling to stay outside for the night. She wanted to go back so badly because she was sure that the harem would have changed by the time she came back.

She did so many things in order to make sure that she would be the only madam in Nan Family.

How could she stay out when she could return?

"Madam, it's dangerous at night. The attack from before might repeat itself if we force our way to travel at night and this time, there's no guarantee that we'll be save," the Head Guard had no other choice but to say the truth. Even if he were to lose his head, at least he could do that without having to lose his honor too.

He didn't want his men to die either.

Madam Qu furrowed her eyebrows. The event when they first came to the Temple was still fresh in her mind. She was so terrified by the attack that she nearly couldn't move. If that were to repeat, how could she show her face in Nan Family Residence?

Her state would be so wretched.

"Fine, we'll stop in the nearby village," Madam Qu finally relented.

"This servant understood, Madam."

Watching the Head Guard, Madam Qu's eyes were filled with resentment. When they got back, she had to settle this annoying head guard.
