Chapter 528 Stupidity "First Sister..." Nan Xin called out once more when she noticed that Nan Hua had stopped embroidering.
Nan Hua raised her head and looked at Nan Xin. "How can I possibly blame your father for what happened?"
Nan Xin's eyes widened slightly. Upon hearing Nan Hua say 'your father' and not just 'father', it appeared to her that this young girl didn't want to acknowledge Nan Shu Cheng as her own father too. It was logically understandable, considering what she had gone through all these years.
Even though Nan Hua called Nan Shu Cheng as her father from time to time, it was clear that she only did that when there were outsiders. There was not even an ounce of feeling left when she called him that way.
It was as if the address shouldn't have belonged to anyone in Nan Hua's life.
Which was why she only uttered it out as nothing more than perfunctory.
"First Sister, do you mind if I stay here?" Nan Xin asked carefully.
Nan Hua didn't answer and simply lowered her head to continue embroider. She didn't have any intention to talk with Nan Xin and naturally, she didn't really want to play along with this brat.
Nan Xin gritted her teeth and decided to stay. She had asked her servants to prepare her embroidery equipment, so she also stayed there to do her embroidery. It was a present for her father, so she indeed had to continue it.
Though, normally, she would not spend all day long to embroider.
Thus, a strange scene appeared in front of the servants. The two young misses, who were not really in good terms with each other, sitting side by side on the garden. The two of them were busy embroidering on their own.
It was a strange view.
From time to time, Nan Xin would talk about some matters. From talking about the recent rumors until talk about other matter in the household.
It continued that way until Nan Xin told Nan Hua that it would be their father's birthday party in two days.
"There's a dinner together tonight." Nan Xin folded her finished embroidery and glanced at Nan Hua's. She silently wondered whether Nan Hua would give any of the embroidery that she worked on for her father. However, the thought only crossed her mind and Nan Xin didn't try to explore it any longer.
"Have you prepared any present for Father, First Sister?"
"I have."
Nan Hua had asked Xiao Yun to buy some books that might be useful for Nan Shu Cheng. It didn't need to be expensive and even the ordinary ones are fine. As long as she showed that she was still a 'filial' child, it should be fine.
"I see. I thought that you'll need help." Nan Xin smiled. "Mother had ordered some new dresses for us. They should arrive tomorrow."
Nan Hua nodded.
"I'll be going first, First Sister."
Nan Hua didn't answer and Nan Xin walked away. It was clear that Nan Xin had long gotten used to Nan Hua's indifferent attitude that she didn't take it to her heart anymore.
When Nan Xin had left, Nan Hua also stopped her embroidery. "Tonight's dinner should be interesting."
Xiao Yun helped Nan Hua up while her mind was thinking about what Nan Xin had said. She felt that there was something that Nan Xin was implying through her words, but Xiao Yun understood nothing.
Nan Hua didn't take long to dress up and headed to the table for dinner. She noticed that the atmosphere was tense.
It seemed that Madam Qu was not quiet at all.
She still pulled some strings here and there even though the power to manage the household is not in hers. for new novels
