Chapter 676: Unrelenting <2>

The servants didn’t understand, but the two of them had no intention of

explaining what they did.

After some time, Concubine Mu broke the silence. “Even if one didn’t do

anything, there are people who didn’t want to let me be in peace.”

“When there’s something they’re after, it’s only natural to try achieving it

through all kind of means. If you’re on the path they’re treading, would they

spare you for some petty reasons?” Nan Hua was calm.

Concubine Mu chuckled. She never had any interest to get Nan Shu Cheng’s

attention and only lived for herself. What was the point of competing for

something nonsensical like that when it only caused pain for oneself?

It would be better for her to amuse herself when it was possible.

“[ have no intention to stop them. But since they’re standing on my path and

tried to destroy the peace I have, I’ll not let them do so.” Concubine Mu stood

up. She looked at Nan Hua and felt that this young girl was really not what one

saw on the surface.

No one in this residence could see the scheming mind this little girl had

brought forward and put in front of them.

Many of them treated her as nothing more but a little girl who didn’t

understand anything.

“If I have a daughter like you, it would be the happiest moment in my life.”

Nan Hua raised her head and looked at Concubine Mu. Concubine Mu was in

her mid-twenties but she didn’t have any children with Nan Shu Cheng. It

could be also because she didn’t try to make one with that kind of man.

Her sentence sounded a bit strange for Nan Hua, but it was somewhat pleasing

to be heard.

“If you have children, they’ll be better than me.”

Concubine Mu smiled and laughed faintly. “How delightful would it be if it’s

possible. Thank you for accompanying me, Young Miss Nan.”

“IT should be the one to thank you.”

Nan Hua also stood up and went back to her quarter. It was at this moment that

she noticed the commotion not far from where she stood. A lot of servants

were pointing at the front but they said nothing.

“Miss, there’s a servant died.” Chu Yue came forward for a report.

“Mhm.”

Today was the day for another night meal together with Nan Shu Cheng and

the others. For the other party to specifically pick this day, it meant that they

wanted to attract Nan Shu Cheng’s attention once more.

Nan Hua really couldn’t understand what went inside these concubines’ mind.

They even went as far as sacrificing the lives of the servants just in order to get

the attention of a man who didn’t worth it all. But in this era, the lives of

servants were indeed worse than animals.

Even if they died, no one would care for them. They were treated as nothing

more but properties of these nobles.

“Servant of Concubine Mu?” Nan Hua turned to look at Chu Yue.

“Yes, Miss.”

“Tsee.”

It meant that there would be another drama going on. The concubines didn’t

seem to ever tire at all in creating more and more drama. They didn’t seem to

mind in the slightest bit that they were all having troubles every single day.

But Nan Shu Cheng didn’t seem to share the same sentiments.

“Prepare bath.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Nan Hua was not in a hurry. Since the real target of this scheme was not her

but Concubine Mu, she wouldn’t be that affected. Even if they tried to pull her

down the drain, she was sure that the hole wouldn’t be enough to catch her

unprepared.

Those people were too stupid to even realize that their schemes were nothing

but child plays in her hand.𝔫𝗈𝗏𝖊𝓛𝞰𝗲xt.𝑐𝞸𝓂

After Nan Hua had finished washing and dressing up, she headed to the

direction of where the dinner would take place. By now, she could hear

shouting even from a distance away from Madam Qu who was trying to accuse

Concubine Mu of harming her own servants.

“You have been speaking that I harmed my own servant, but did you have the

evidence to support the claim you have been uttering?” Concubine Mu asked

fiercely.

Madam Qu snorted. “There are a lot of servants around but you don’t seem to

care about the maidservant around you even when she disappeared. Isn’t it to

show that you’ve already known about this matter?”

“Do I have to show immense sadness for all of my servants even when I’m not

close to her?”

“What are you talking about?”

“My dear sister, before you begin to speak, you should have learnt that your

words can be used against you.” Concubine Mu took one step forward. “I have

been spending my time talking with First Young Miss Nan from morning. Do

you think I would have the time to care about a mere unimportant servant

disappearance when I’m busy with other things?”

“That’s a lie!” Madam Qu furrowed her eyebrows. She had already studied

Concubine Mu’s behavior and knew very well that today was one of the days

when Concubine Mu usually stayed alone.

At that time, there wouldn’t be any servant around her who could testify what

she was doing. In fact, Concubine Mu did take a walk alone for a period of time

before encountering Nan Hua.

But the servants behind her would never reveal that fact.

“A lot servants see me with First Young Miss Nan.” Concubine Mu looked at

Madam Qu and added, “You can try to ask them. This time, they would

definitely not give any false testimony.”

Madam Qu’s body trembled. How could she expect that there would be such

variable in her supposedly perfect plan?

“You’re indeed very meticulous, but how do I know that you haven’t talked

about this with First Young Miss Nan? If you worked together with her, it’ll be

easy for you to erase all traces and ask the servants to give testimony..”
