Chapter 2685 - 2688: One or Two Things

Chu Yue didn’t understand.

She was not from a noble family and when she was raised in the Nan Family, the Nan Family didn’t really told her to practice everything about noble etiquette and more about martial arts. But what she knew was more than enough for her to serve Nan Hua and didn’t lose the face of the Nan Family.

It was good enough.

There hasn’t been childbirth matter for a long time, so Chu Yue never knew that there would be so many gifts coming.

“General Xing’s face is really big.” Lou smiled but there was no warmth in his eyes. “It seems that there are still people targeting Master.”

Given by how often there were people who came to give gifts to Long Qian Xing, he estimated that this matter would be passed to Emperor Yang Zhou too. The Long Family was already very powerful and now, many people were giving them face.

Not only giving them face, but the amount of face that was given to them also seemed to be a bit too much, isn’t it?

If this continued, wouldn’t the Long Family be the overlord in Fei Yang Kingdom.

Even though the action was subtle, but it was more than enough to make those who were watching wary.

The Long Family has been very eye catching for a while and now, it was estimated to be even more attractive to many people.

Lou sighed.

There were too many people who wanted to cause trouble for the Long Family and it was really hard for them. As a servant who moved in the darkness, he couldn’t really do anything to help Master and could only let it be.

Is it possible for them to ask not to give gifts from others?

It was impossible.

Because it was their intention and whether to give something or not depended on their actions.

“Hmm?” Chu Yue’s eyes narrowed.

Those who wanted to target the Long Family would inevitably also put Nan Hua in danger. She had vowed to protect Nan Hua, so she felt irritable when she thought that these things would also put Nan Hua in danger.

Should she do something?

But Chu Yue felt that it was not good to do anything.

“Master and Miss knows what to do. Don’t be impulsive,” Lou warned when he saw his wife’s look. Being on the battlefield for a long time, Chu Yue was used to use her swords to deal with many matters.

But in Cheng City, it would be impossible for Chu Yue to do the same.

She has to pay attention to her behavior and controlled her impulse so that she would not do anything that would cause more trouble.

“I know,” Chu Yue replied with a smile and then stepped forward to deal with the gift with Ran. When they were done, they would hand over the list to Nan Hua and let her decide what they should do with it.

…

Mu Yan, who received the list from Chu Yue looked at the things given to them and arched her eyebrows. She sneered when she saw the items that were sent through this gift today and sighed.

It seemed that there were too many people who wanted to make trouble for the Long Family.

Since Mu Yan has been operating and helping Nan Si Qiao for a period of time, she was familiar with these tricks. These women were used to use subtle behavior and gestures that could easily influence other people’s hearts.

They would make other people think that you were too arrogant, too poor, too rich, or any other negative reputation. They would make sure that the people whom they dislike would have poor reputation so that it would be easier for them to be targeted by others.

Of course, they would not choose their target arbitrarily.

Those whom they hated, those whom they could afford to offend, and those whom they could take advantage of.

Now, the Long Family was also being targeted.

‘Is it because of the assassination matter not long ago?’ Mu Yan frowned when she thought about the assassination matter.

Even though it cause some commotion within the Long Family Residence, this matter has never been spread out. Because there was simply no point in letting other people knew about this matter and Master and Miss didn’t want the Long Family be a joke either.

So only those who were informed, such as those who planted spies within the Long Family Residence, would be able to know about this incident.

And the few people who sent this gift today is…

‘The Xiao Family?’

Seeing the name, Mu Yan was a bit surprised.

From what she knew, the Xiao Family was known to be very tactful and would not offend other people easily. But she has also heard that the Xiao Family has been split up with some of them leaving Cheng City to go to the new capital city and the rest were left behind.

However, she was not very clear about the situation within the Xiao Family itself.

Now that they sent these things…

It might be the few people who didn’t think that it would be a big deal to make trouble with the Long Family.

It was annoying.

“Mu Yan, is there anything wrong with the list?” Xiao Yun saw that Mu Yan kept staring at the bamboo scroll and asked in confusion. She was carrying a tray to bring Nan Hua’s lunch.

“No, there’s no thing wrong.” Mu Yan shook her head. “I only feel that the water is deep in Cheng City… you should not go out so much and have to be careful, Xiao Yun.”

Even though Xiao Yun has been following Nan Hua for quite a while, but she was still very naive. In Mu Yan’s opinion, it would be easy for others to fill Xiao Yun if they truly wanted to.

“Don’t worry. I’m not that stupid.” Xiao Yun looked at Mu Yan suspiciously. Is her image really that bad?
