Chapter 490: 490 Empty Threat

Chapter 490 Empty Threat　　Madam Qu's face turned ashen when she heard what Nan Shu Cheng said. "Shu Cheng, didn't you promise that you will stay with me tonight?"

"Not now." Nan Shu Cheng felt irritated and waved his hand. He walked away amidst the call from Madam Qu.

Nan Hou Xiang grabbed his mother's hand. He had to stop his mother before she was put in the worse position in the battle with the other concubines. Everyone were waiting for Madam Qu to fall from grace, so she had to conduct herself properly.

"Are you that worried, Madam Qu?" Concubine Mei asked with a smile. "It's just one night. He spent more than half a month in your place."

Madam Qu turned her head and looked at her longtime nemesis. She grunted. "It's not your business."

Concubine Mei chuckled but said nothing more. She knew that provoking Madam Qu was pleasant, but she had to be careful because the one who controlled the harem was this woman before her. She stood up.

"I'll go back with my daughter first. Please excuse me, Sisters."

"Take care, Sister Mei."

"Be careful on your way, Sister Mei."

Nan Xin unwillingly stood up and followed her mother. She still wanted to watch the show longer. Even though she had been calling Madam Qu as her 'mother,' there was no way she would truly acknowledge her as her own mother.

"Mom, why can't we stay there longer?" Nan Xin asked in a low voice.

"Hitting her a bit is fine, but if we overdid it, she's going to retaliate." Concubine Mei chuckled. She looked at her daughter. "Don't follow her pace and tried to go against Nan Hua all the time. I don't want you to put yourself in danger."

Nan Xin lowered her face. "Yes, Mom."

Concubine Mei looked at her daughter worriedly but chose not to say anything more. She knew that Nan Xin would have to face many things by herself, so all she could do was to carefully warn her from time to time in order to make sure that her daughter would not fall for any schemes.

Nan Hua looked at the group of concubines who were trying to mock Madam Qu. She stood up. "I'm leaving now."

After giving her courtesy, Nan Hua turned around and left too. She only came there to have a meal and not to watch these group of ladies went against each other. The location of the dining hall was quite far from her quarter, so Xiao Yun went forward and draped a coat around Nan Hua.

"Miss, it's still pretty cold in the early spring."

"I know."

Nan Hua tightened the coat and lowered her eyes. Even though she knew that she didn't need it, acting is important.

Walking the stone path, Nan Hua listened to the faint sound of the wind around her. The atmosphere in Nan Family Residence was fairly different from other location. It was filled with threat and suffocating tension.

Those who stayed here might not even find this place to be appropriate for living.

"Nan Hua," a voice called from behind.

Nan Hua stopped in her steps. She turned around and saw Nan Hou Xiang slowly walked in her direction. His dark eyes were scrutinizing her before he stopped a few feet away from her.

"What is it, Second Brother?" Nan Hua asked. She didn't want to acknowledge him as her brother, but for the time being, she would call him this way. There was no need to create unnecessary rumors.

Nan Hou Xiang's eyes flashed. "Don't try to go against Mother. If you keep on trying to embarrass her, I'll make sure to put you in your place."

Nan Hua didn't answer. She merely stared in Nan Hou Xiang's direction with her dark obsidian eyes. It was as if no matter what Nan Hou Xiang said, it would not matter to her in the slightest bit.

On the other hand, Nan Hou Xiang began to feel sweat on his back. He didn't know why, but he felt fear. It was different from the fear he had when he lost against Nan Luo on the field. It was colder and seemed to pierce deep into his heart.

"You…"

"Why should I let myself be bullied?" Nan Hua asked slowly. "I'm the legitimate first daughter of Nan Family."

Nan Hou Xiang furrowed his eyebrows. That dreadful feeling had long disappear, making him felt that it was nothing more than an illusion. "Just watch how I'll deal with you."

With that, Nan Hou Xiang flicked his sleeve and left to the other way. His arrogant behavior was very annoying to the eye. Beside Nan Hua, Xiao Yun was cracking her fingers, trying her best to restrain herself from going towards Nan Hou Xiang to give that boy a lesson.

As a brat who hadn't even seen real blood, he dared to threaten Nan Hua?

Who does he think he was?

Nan Hua turned around. "Let's go, Xiao Yun."

"Yes, Miss."

Despite how threatening it sounded, Nan Hua knew very well that Nan Hou Xiang was nothing more than a brat. There was no way he would be able to really do anything against Nan Hua.

That threat was nothing more than an empty threat.

And even if it was a real threat, Nan Hua was not afraid. With her current capabilities, it was really unnecessary for her to worry about the threat of a little brat who could die a thousand times over in her hand.

If she had wanted to kill anyone in this residence, it was as easy as lifting her hand.

But Nan Hua didn't want to start a massacre.

That night passed quietly.

Or not.

Prang! Prang! Prang!

Nan Hua turned her head to look in the direction where Madam Qu were staying. The sound of porcelains being broken one by one could be heard from her bed. She knew that Madam Qu was not as calm as she looked like at the surface.

Having to share her husband with the other women, she was thoroughly pissed off.

However, this was simply the norm in this era. Most males would take concubines and only few of them would not.
