Fifth Young Master Feng, Feng Mo Xing.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
He was Feng Ao Kuai's cousin from his second uncle and also a sickly child because of his mother's desperate attempts many years ago. His sister protected him, allowing him to come to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City to study.
Under the secret promise with Nan Luo and Nan Hua, he would work for them in this limited lifespan of his.
That was what he and his sister promised.
This year, he had turned 17 years old and the study had been more or less completed. What he needed to do next was to take the exam so that he would be able to become a proper official and started to take position in the court.
Feng Mo Xing looked at Mu Yan and nodded. "I would like to ask whether Young Master Nan will return in this trip?"
The matter of Nan Hua being dead had spread. While he was a bit skeptical, he decided not to mention this name outside so as not to cause more trouble for himself and for others.
"This servant didn't know." Mu Yan knew that Feng Mo Xing and Nan Hua had some kind of agreement. However, she didn't know the exact detail and had no interest to find out about it.
Feng Mo Xing thought for a moment and then said, "When Young Master Nan return, please tell him that I'll bring him to eat after I had finished my examination should he be in the Capital City."
"This servant will relay this message."
After that, Feng Mo Xing cupped his fist and left briskly. Even if there were other people who heard of his words, they will only think that he wanted to build relationship with his cousin's cousin. After all, Nan Luo was quite famous on the battlefield for the past few years.
Not that famous but his name had started to spread.
Mu Yue lowered her eyes and returned into the residence, not saying anything else. What happened between them were something that she didn't need to think about because it was not related to her.
She just needed to relay this message to Nan Hua later.
...
"Don't worry. He wouldn't do anything to me." Song Chuan showed a reassuring smile. "But I might not be able to come back home early anymore."
That damnable Long Qian Xing will definitely make him overwork again.
Song Chuan's wife looked at her husband's expression and showed a relieved smile. She patted his hand. "It's good."
Song Chuan smiled and sighed deeply.
Hopefully, it would be peaceful for the next few weeks.

<Not long distance away, Long Family Residence>
"Hmm? That brat finally willing to go home?" Old Madam Long narrowed her eyes when she heard the news from outside. It has been a few years and her annoying grandson was still running here and there on the frontline.
Her aged body could no longer support her having such strenuous exercise, so she didn't have any other choice but to stay at home and listened to various news about Long Qian Xing from time to time.
Now, she heard that he was finally going back.
"Yes, Old Madam." The steward bowed politely.
"It's about time." Old Madam Long snorted. "I have been waiting for too long for that brat to come back home. Remind me to spank him."
The steward's lips twitched when he heard what Old Madam Long said. He knew very well that with Long Qian Xing's current temperament and ability, it would be hard to truly punish him if he didn't want to relent.
He sighed deeply.
As a servant, what can he do aside from agreeing?
"Yes, Old Madam."
