Chapter 525 Schemes

Chapter 525 Schemes "Is that true?" Nan Shu Cheng looked at the group of servants.

"Yes, yes, that's true!"

"We're blinded by our greed, Master!"

"Master, we apologize."

And there were a few more apologize that these servants uttered, trying their best to shift the blame to them.

Nan Shu Cheng's eyes grew increasingly colder. He waved his hand. "Dismiss them and send them back to the Household Department after giving them 50 beatings."

"Yes, Master."

The servants were all stunned. This was the first time Nan Shu Cheng meted out punishment as harsh as this. But before they could plead for him to give lighter punishment, the other servants had already come and dragged them out to begin their punishment. With their mouth blocked with handkerchief, it was impossible for them to shout or anything like that.

Madam Qu's heart turned cold. She looked at her husband nervously, "Shu Cheng, this is..."

"Since you're too tired to take care of the household, let Concubine Mei take care of it until the end of this month." Nan Shu Cheng walked out of the main hall.

"Nan Shu Cheng!"

No matter how many times Madam Qu tried to call him, her husband didn't even turn around. It seemed that he was already tired of Madam Qu's action and chose to not listen to any of her demands. He didn't really care about the household as long as nothing happened.

But it was clear that there was no such thing with his wife around.

Troubles just kept on piling up.

Concubine Mei put her hand in front of her mouth so that other people wouldn't be able to see the smile. "Sister Qu, please don't be so sad. We'll be doing our best to take care of the household while you recuperate."

"I see." Xiao Yun pouted.

Nan Hua knew that Xiao Yun was dissatisfied, but Nan Hua was not an impatient person. She knew that one small incident like this wouldn't be enough to cause Madam Qu to fall into ruins.

"Be patient." Nan Hua lowered her gaze. "There are plenty of changes."

For a moment, Xiao Yun could feel cold wind behind her back. She looked at her Miss and understood that Nan Hua would not let Madam Qu off. However, it was not the time for her to make a move yet.

"The ultimate scheming method is to do nothing yet reap the most benefit." Nan Hua put the hairpin on the table. "There are many things that only need a little push, but it required precise moment to do so."

Xiao Yun was silent.

She had to admit that she couldn't completely comprehend Nan Hua's method because many times, Nan Hua didn't seem to do anything. However, there were things that Nan Hua actually did, and she would do it at the most appropriate times. When she appeared in front of the very person, it would also be at the most precise moment.

But this time, Nan Hua didn't seem to be willing to make any move aside from giving a short argument and handed the power to someone else.

Xiao Yun wondered just who did Nan Hua target this time.

'Forget it, I'll know in time.'

Pushing the thoughts to the back of her mind, Xiao Yun continued to do her duty.

...

Long Qian Xing's Side.

"Young Commander Long, you have a letter from your family."

"Letter?" Long Qian Xing raised his head from the map in front of him. After he got the promotion to become 3000 men commander, he hadn't had much rest because he kept on roaming on the battlefield.

There was only one person who would send him letter.
