Chapter 723: A Pair of Good SisterHave a taste of happiness.
And later on, he would taste the greatest bitterness.
Emperor Yang Zhou looked at the young girl who were bowing her head in front of him then looked at the young girl who kowtowed on the ground. The saying that one should never underestimate women flashed within his head.
Probably many people would never realize what these two had done behind the scene.
He turned to look at Long Qian Xing. "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, having Nan Family take this hot potato might be for the best. Regarding the plans Your Majesty had for Nan Family, it would only need to be slightly amended since they would be of higher status and had bigger effect." Long Qian Xing cupped his fist.
"Are you really saying this while knowing what would happen to Nan Family later on, First Young Miss Nan?"
Nan Hua knew that it would be useless to hide this in front of Emperor Yang Zhou. She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her directly. Her voice was clear and firm as she answered, "Yes."
One word.
But it clearly told the Emperor everything he needed to hear.
Emperor Yang Zhou let out a laugh then turned to look at Mu Fei Jiu. "Let's have a talk, Fourth Miss Mu. I'm sure that there are more things we would need to discuss."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Mu Fei Jiu could feel the oppressive power from the powerful man before her and felt like it would be hard for her to even breath. Even her grandfather never invoked this kind of pressure to her.
'So this is the Emperor.'

Standing up, Mu Fei Jiu followed behind Emperor Yang Zhou. Her heart was churning with both anticipation and nervousness. The same person whom she should have never been able to meet in her entire life was now standing before her.
This is her only chance.
And she would use this very chance to the fullest.
…
After that, Nan Hua returned with Long Qian Xing to the Empress Selection and had tea party with Princess Hu and Princess Mu Fei Xin. But Mu Fei Jiu was discussing many things with the Emperor.
"I'll be able to stay here." Mu Fei Jiu looked at Nan Hua with a smile. "Sister Hua is always welcomed to come and pay a visit. I'll make sure to prepare the best dishes for you when the time come, Sister Hua."
From the way Mu Fei Jiu talked, it was as if the two of them were good sisters to each other. Even most sisters might not be as close as them. Outsiders would never think that they had only met each other a few times but had somehow hit it off.
Mu Fei Jiu smiled and open the door to walk out. She would not talk about what had happened in the past anymore. The two of them had a silent tacit agreement that they would pretend that they never had anything to do with it.
Even if history were rewritten because of this action of theirs, their names would never be recorded.
It was better to be low profile.
Getting unwanted attention would only make their lives harder than it already was. For Mu Fei Jiu, the best reward was for her to be able to live with her father without anyone bothering her.
As for her marriage later… that was for future worry. She was only 11 years old and there was at least four years for her to spend with her father without needed to worry anyone taking her away.
"Have you thought of business to maintain your lifestyle?" Nan Hua asked as they walked into the courtyard.

"There are some stores from mother's dowry under my name. The earning so far is quite a lot, but I'll naturally have some inspection in the future to check on them." Mu Fei Jiu grinned. If one paid close attention, they would think that there was a devil horn appeared on her forehead. Those managers wouldn't be able to live in peace soon.
Nan Hua nodded. "This courtyard is good for your father's health."
"Do you also think that way?" Mu Fei Jiu's eyes lit up. "I consulted the doctors and they told me that a courtyard that's filled with trees is good for Father. That's why I search for a long time before settling in this. It's not too big, but it fulfilled the list that the doctor give to me."
"It's good."
"That's good to hear." Mu Fei Jiu grinned. "Would you like to join us for lunch, Sister Hua? It wouldn't take long."
"Mhm, I'll disturb you, then."
"It's not disturbing at all. In fact, I'm glad that Sister Hua come to pay a visit." Mu Fei Jiu giggled and twirled on their path. She looked more like her age when she acted like this, carefree and free, without any worry that caused her to put on so much mask on the surface.
Nan Hua nodded.
She hadn't taken a closer look to Fourth Master Mu to know his health in detail, but she could guess a bit based on his complexion, nail, and some other signs. It was indeed not easy for him to be able to survive this long.
At this time, Fourth Master Mu came out. He saw his daughter twirling around with Nan Hua watching from the side and he showed a helpless smile. His little daughter was really….
"Jiu'er, Young Miss Nan, please come inside."
"Dad!" Mu Fei Jiu saw her father and ran towards him before throwing her small body on him while Fourth Master Mu caught her perfectly. He then hugged her tightly. "Don't run. You might fall if you're not careful enough."
"It's fine, Dad." Mu Fei Jiu grinned. "Dad, Sister Hua will join us for lunch. I invited her to stay. You wouldn't mind, would you, Dad?"
Seeing his daughter acting so coquettishly, Fourth Master Mu's heart melted. How could he possibly say no to her?
"Alright, alright, I'll ask the servant to prepare more food."
