Chapter 530 Ruined Dress Swish!
A needle flew from Nan Hua's finger towards the ceiling. She looked up and noticed a figure was leaping down.
"What do you have for me, Nan Si?"Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
"Miss, the information about Du Family is complete. In addition, the spies have already confessed."
Nan Hua looked at Nan Si calmly, waiting for the other party to finish his words.
"They'll make a move within a week's time."
"A week?"
Having read the novel, Nan Hua knew very well what kind of event would happen early on the year before Emperor Yang Zhou's inauguration. However, the novel didn't specify the date since they didn't use the same calendar as the one used in her time. As a result, Nan Hua only knew that it was somewhat around the Spring to Summer time.
It was late Spring now, which meant that the time more or less matched.
"Evacuate my aunt and inform the Feng Family. They're the first line to guard." Nan Hua thought for a moment. "If necessary, bring Fourth Master of Feng Family to hide in one of the small villages. Also, tell my grandfather that the other kingdoms have started moving. He should understand."
"Yes, Miss."
With that, Nan Si disappeared once more.
Nan Hua tapped her slender fingers on the table. If not because of Nan Shu Cheng's birthday party, she would rather depart right away. However, there was one person among the list of people that Nan Shu Cheng said just now that she would like to meet. Not exactly meeting, though, but she would like to see them from a distance formally.
Besides, she couldn't just rush over to Nan Luo right now. That twin younger brother of hers was still busy at the frontline right now under the heavy battle.
'I'll sleep for now.'
Who would have thought?
Who would have thought that Madam Qu would be so shameless as to ask for some help from outside?
It was to the point that Concubine Mei's heart turned cold when she heard her dress was not ready. There was only one night and it would be impossible for her to wear this gaudy and large dress. The size matched, but the style was completely different from what she ordered.
Ugh...
"Mistress, we have already reported the store."
"Good."
Concubine Mei's face hadn't eased up. She knew that if she didn't find a method to settle this as soon as possible, Nan Shu Cheng would be so angry at her. "Call the servants. I need to modify the dress."
The pattern that Nan Shu Cheng asked was already used. However, the dress was too extravagant. Concubine Mei wanted to take off some of the decoration and add another layer of blank cloth to cover up the part that was not supposed to be seen by others.
It was all that she could possibly do in this situation.
"Yes, Mistress."
Nan Xin slowly walked inside and looked at her mother with a complicated expression. "Mother, do you want to ask for Aunt's help? Aunt had some connection with the stores."
"No need."
The Aunt that Nan Xin said here referred to her paternal family. The Mei Family was a rather small family and didn't have as much connection as Qu Family. Concubine Mei was basically sold to Nan Family Residence, so she didn't have much hope for her family to help her out when she was already here.
"But...."
"Marriage is like a thrown water. Once you get married, you won't be able to return to your previous household anymore." Concubine Mei looked at her daughter and her gaze softened a bit. "Not everyone will care for their daughter after she had been married away to someone else."
Nan Xin was stunned then stayed silent. This was not the first time her mother said those words to her.
