Nan Hua had changed the course of event by allowing Mu Fei Xin to be alive. Since she was still alive and Prince Yang Lu was not branded as traitor, it was unlikely for Mu Fei Jiu's father to die.
"Do you have good relationship with him?" Nan Hua asked in a low tone.
Mu Fei Jiu looked at Nan Hua and smiled innocently. "He's my uncle. What kind of other thoughts can I have about him?"
Anyone who heard her would think that she was merely an innocent young girl who was raised lovingly. Even though she could be harsh in her mouth and fierce in front of others, she was mostly a very bright and sensible girl that many madams liked. It was also the reason why Mu Family still treated her and her father fairly well.
Nan Hua nodded then stretched her hand. She silently wrote some words on Mu Fei Jiu's hand while talking, "I'll ask for permission from my Father to visit your residence soon."
Mu Fei Jiu's eyes flashed. She silently wrote back while answering. "In that case, I'll be happy if you can come."
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"Just make sure that you're not dressed too grandly. I wouldn't want my cousins to fall for you."
"That could do."
In front of other people, it looked as if Nan Hua and Mu Fei Xin were merely chatting with each other while patting each other's hand. They couldn't hear their conversation and even if they heard it, they might not find it anything strange.
Nan Hua retracted her hand and nodded. "You have to take care of yourself better. It's not easy when the temperature grew hotter."
"You're right." Mu Fei Jiu sighed. "When it's Summer, it's terrifyingly hot but when it's winter, it's extremely cold. How nice would it be if I can move to the north when it's summer."
"The winter is colder."
"And moved back during winter."
Nan Hua nodded.
Mu Fei Jiu grinned when she saw that. The two of them continued to chat about some unrelated manners and looked so close that they could definitely pass as real sisters. The other officials' children did look in their direction from time to time, but they didn't get close.
They didn't want to bother those two when it seemed to be impossible to even get close.
Time passed swiftly.
The banquet itself was not that long. With Nan Shu Cheng's current rank and qualification, he was not someone whom other would be willing to stay for the entire day. At most, they would give him some face then they would leave once everything was done.
There was no need to force themselves to stay there more than necessary.
After it was done, Nan Shu Cheng returned with Madam Qu.
It seemed that she managed to attract his attention this time.
Anyway, Nan Hua had no intention of watching the drama ongoing for such a long period of time. She had another thing that she wanted to do, which was to head out as soon as possible.
"Ku."
Swish!
A figure appeared beside Nan Hua. Ku was dressed in black clothes and looked at similar height with Nan Hua. Even though their appearance was nothing alike, it was easy as long as they could use some mask and also makeup.
"You'll stay here and do embroidery everyday as me." Nan Hua took out a bottle and handed it to Ku. "If I got invited outside the residence, use this."
Ku nodded. "Yes, Miss."
After Nan Hua settled Ku to take over her position in this residence, she changed her clothes and erased her presence. Xiao Yun would be able to know what she was supposed to do because Xiao Yun knew about Nan Hua's exchange with Ku. After all, the person who knew her the most was Xiao Yun because Xiao Yun had stayed the longest near Nan Hua.
Swish!
In the middle of the night, a figure effortlessly moved about across the areas.
The Capital City was naturally guarded tightly, but it didn't mean that there were no gaps at all. If there were no gaps, there wouldn't be so many crimes occurring in the Capital City like this.
Tep.
Nan Hua stopped outside the wall. She had sneaked out through the side door, one that was mostly used by servants. By relying on the time when there would be a change in shift, she managed to get out.
After walking for some time, she reached the forest area and saw several horses were already prepared there. There were also two young men standing there: Nan Si and Fei Mao.
"Young Miss, everything is ready." Nan Si cupped his fist.
The two of them had leave the Capital City earlier in order to prepare everything first. They naturally had their own normal identity that allowed them to walk in and out of the Capital City freely. It was not that easy to sneak out like what Nan Hua did just now.
"How's the situation in other branches?" Nan Hua asked as she climbed onto one of the horses.
After the previous incident in the Academy where Nan Luo fell from horse, Old Master Nan trained them to ride horse in Han Zhong City from time to time. Thanks to that, Nan Hua had decent skill to ride horse by now.
"Everyone had been alerted of your order." Nan Si climbed the other horse. "The other branches in other kingdoms are showing some sign of problems lately because of the increase of soldiers."
They have moved.
Nan Hua's eyes narrowed. "Giddy up."
Dark Moon Organization was said not to be limited to only one kingdom, but in truth, it was focused heavily on Fei Yang Kingdom ever since Nan Hua took it over. There were few branches on Zhang Hu Kingdom, Wei Da Kingdom, and also Shi Long Kingdom, but Nan Hua never visited there personally because they were too far.
