Chapter 42: Meeting Enemies On Narrow Road (1)

The shopkeeper was fast. He quickly showed them all the matched hairpins that the shop had. In the end, the two of them picked two jade colored hairpins with carvings at one of the edge. It didn't have many unnecessary accessory and seemed quite suitable for them.

"You have good eyes!" the shopkeeper praised when the two of them had made their selection.

Nan Luo nodded. He beckoned for his manservant to pay and the young man stepped forward. There was no need for him and Nan Hua to haggle the price by themselves as it was normally done by the servants.

"Luo, for you." Nan Hua showed the box that contained the male hairpin.

"You're not going to wait until tomorrow?" Nan Luo asked in amusement.

"Should I?"

"No! You can also take this. We'll wear them tomorrow." Nan Luo quickly took the box and shoved the one he carried to Nan Hua.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and nodded. She didn't mind in the slightest bit as she knew that she bought it for him while he bought it for her. Whether it was today or tomorrow, would it make any difference?

Only Xiao Yun was looking at the two people in front of her and resisted the urge to sigh. People normally would buy present in secret so that it would be a surprise, but these two just do it in front of each other.

'Miss, do you really have no idea?' Xiao Yun lamented internally.

The two of them were about to leave when a carriage stopped right in front of the store. The word 'Nan' at the side of the doors told them that the one who came must be someone from Nan Family.

Nan Luo's face darkened considerably when he saw that. He waved his hand. "Let's go."

"Wait!"

The two of them pretended that they didn't hear anything as they walked to the other side. The door of the carriages opened and a young girl who looked younger than the two of them by a two or three years stepped out. She was wearing peach colored dress and had quite the makeup despite her young age.

It was honestly quite weird to see a barely 7 years old girl already dressing up.

"Brother! Sister!" the girl called out.

Nan Luo and Nan Hua didn't reply and Nan Luo even talked about the next store next to it, making it as if he didn't even hear the other party at all. Nan Hua also listened to what Nan Luo said.

The girl was frustrated and in the end, she had no other choice but to call them with their name. If she waited any longer, they would be long out of her reach. "Brother Nan Luo! Sister Nan Hua!"

This time, Nan Luo had no other choice but to turn around. He arched his eyebrows. "I was thinking who is it shouting in the middle of the street. As it turned out, it's Nan Xin. What do you want?"

Nan Xin, the second miss of Nan Family. She's the child of concubine Mei, the second favored concubine after Concubine Qu. Different with Nan Hua, Nan Xin was a lovable child and also better at many lesson. She was known to be a bright and sensible child.

Nan Hua slowly turned around and looked in Nan Xin's direction. The young Nan Xin was still immature, though, and revealed too much with her expression.

As expected, with Nan Luo's harsh words, Nan Xin's face turned slightly pale. It was quite unbecoming of her to call them out in the middle of the street like that. However, she quickly composed herself.

"It's going to be Winter soon. Mother had prepared a lot of new clothes for this winter and she wishes for you two to come back."

"Mother had already died." Nan Luo's tone was cold. "I don't need a thief who steals the seat of another person even before the mourning period ends to treat me with what should have been mine. I don't need such excessive kindness."

Nan Xin was stunned. She bit her lower lips as she didn't know what to say. In the past, Nan Luo has always been polite both to her and the others in the residence. But after an incident, Nan Luo changed completely and treated them harshly.

He didn't even filter his words.

"Don't say such things. It's not good to slander people…"

"Slander? I'm only saying that I don't need such excessive kindness." Nan Luo sneered, purposely stressing his last sentence from before. "Besides, don't you know whether the words I say is true or not even without saying it out loud."

"That's…" Nan Xin didn't know what to say. It was true. Nan Shu Cheng elevated Concubine Qu's position before the mourning period had ended. It was not a crime but morally speaking, it was not right.

After all, there was no teaching for one to favor the concubine and neglect the wife.

And to marry another woman before the mourning period ended was not a crime but it wouldn't be look upon favorably.

Nan Luo snorted and turned around. "Let's go, Hua'er. How about if we find some food to eat? There's some restaurant that belongs to our family."

"Mhm." Nan Hua nodded and followed Nan Luo. Her eyes peeked at Nan Xin for a moment without anyone noticed.

It seemed the Nan Family was quite a hectic place.
