Chapter 81: Meeting New Faces (2)

"Are you still angry at Mother, child? There's no need to be so angry with me, is there? The one who make the decision is my husband," Concubine Qu said with brilliant smile on her face. It sounded as if she was coaxing a child but in truth, she was warning him to not act out of place.

The one who pointed her to be the main wife was her husband, Nan Shu Cheng. Even if Nan Luo didn't want to accept it, he couldn't do anything but to accept it!

Nan Luo was about to flare up when a hand grabbed his wrist. He turned his head to the back and saw Nan Hua's cold gaze. She stepped forward and looked at Concubine Qu in front of her.

"Concubine Mother don't have to worry about us. Since there's no relation between us at all, why waste energy to take care of us. Commander Hou is more than enough to settle down a place for us." Nan Hua looked at Concubine Qu calmly.

She had to admit that if she had to talk in more circular way, it was a bit difficult. But winning a battle with just talking was not something new to her.

Even in modern world, she did that a lot when she disagreed with her teammates.

The meaning behind her words was extremely simple. She was stating that Concubine Qu was not her mother by adding the word 'concubine' behind the word Mother. Afterwards, she stated that they didn't have any connection and even added the fact that Commander Hou, Hou Liang, was here to help them settle down a place.

All in all, it was more ruthless than Nan Luo's childish attack.

As expected, Concubine Qu's face turned a shade darker when she heard the remark. She looked at Nan Hua coldly. "I'm your mother!"

"My mother had died. As for how she died, don't you know very well the answer?" Nan Hua asked slowly, her tone indifferent.

When she was talking about her mother, there was a strange feeling welled up in her heart. For Nan Hua, it was an unfamiliar feeling, but she could guess that it must be related to the original Nan Hua.

And countering Concubine Qu like this, there was some unsettling feelings within her heart. It was as if she wished that she could just take out her blade and kill the woman in front of her without any hesitation.

It was strange.

She never had an urge to kill someone before. Even in her mission, she always kept her calm and did everything without even an ounce of emotion.

Concubine Qu staggered when she was greeted with Nan Hua's cold gaze. It was the same cold and indifferent gaze that she had seen back in the household. But now, she felt as if she was staring at the abyss.

The black obsidian eyes seemed to suck all the light around, forcing one to look deep inside but found nothing but darkness.

And Nan Hua's words…

How could she not know the reason for Madam Nan's death?

Concubine Qu gritted her teeth. "I'm already Nan Shu Cheng's wife now, so I'm your mother."

"Should I acknowledge a woman who didn't even know rules as my mother?" Nan Hua looked back at Concubine Qu. "To ask for your status to be elevated during mourning period, don't you have any idea of the implication?"

Her words sounded as if the one who asked to have her status elevated was Concubine Qu and not her father's decision. This was the same as pushing the blame to her even though it was supposed to be the two's doing.

There were no concrete rules that said it was illegal or something.

But to do something like that was clearly immoral and would affect one's view towards Nan Shu Cheng.

"You…"

"Having such news circulated during this chaotic period would be pretty interesting, wouldn't it?" Nan Hua asked and raised her head. Her tone was light and her voice was soothing, but her words were anything but those two.

In fact, those who heard her would be thinking that they were seeing a devil instead of a young girl's words.

Concubine Qu was not an exception. She knew that Nan Shu Cheng had already lost his chance of promotion when Old Master Nan reported what he did in a fit of rage. It was not easy to make the news pass and if Nan Hua was determined to spread the news once more.

One could just imagine Nan Shu Cheng would blame her for it.

Gritting her teeth, Concubine Qu turned around. "You can continue to be stubborn but by the end of the day, I'm your mother. Feel free to do whatever you want to do for now."

For now.

Concubine Qu didn't plan to end things this easily but with her losing at each blow, she knew that there was nothing she could say anymore. She had no other choice but to return empty handed today.

There was no way she could get close when Nan Hua was threatening her with spreading the very news she wished to bury. It had only been a few months, so another wave of rumor spreading was not that strange.

But it would make Nan Shu Cheng so angry.

Xiao Yun was watching with delight. "Miss, you're so amazing."

Nan Hua shook her head. She could control the situation today just because Concubine Qu had something that she didn't want to lose. If she didn't have the piece of news that she could use against her, it would all be for naught.

'Know your enemy, know yourself.'

Back when doing missions, more often than not, she would have the information of the target readily available. It was easy for her to do missions because she had the information.. Even if there was none, she could simply hack the database for more information regarding their activity to make her job easier.
