Chapter 857: Adopted Daughter

Nan Hua nodded. She looked at Si Mo Fan then added, “Your adopted daughter.”

Si Mo Fan was speechless.

He was fine with Nan Hua taking any identity but this one. How could he possibly explain to his men where he suddenly got a daughter out of nowhere? Not to mention, this daughter was almost 14 years old in a few more weeks.

“Would that be… appropriate?”

“It should be fine.”

“…. Young Miss, Great General Nan will not raze this place, right?” Si Mo Fan asked worriedly.

Nan Hua is the granddaughter of Old Master Nan, the famed general from Fei Yang Kingdom. If she suddenly become the adopted daughter of some no name in this mountain… he was afraid that Old Master Nan would be so angry that he led a soldier to raze the entire place until it was flat to the ground.

After all, he was ‘stealing’ his granddaughter.

“Your adopted daughter is Jun Hua not Nan Hua.” Nan Hua looked at Si Mo Fan as if she was looking at an idiot.

Jun Hua not Nan Hua.

It seemed that Nan Hua was making up another identity for herself to use so that she wouldn’t be in trouble of conflict. If ‘Nan Hua’ were to join Dark Moon Organization, it would naturally cause a lot of problems especially because of her grandfather.

but since the person in question was Jun Hua…

That would be a different story.

Jun Family was not from Fei Yang Kingdom. Or at least, they used to be from somewhere far away from this place. Nan Hua herself was not very clear which area Jun Family used to be, but they didn’t always stay in Fei Yang Kingdom.

So far, Jun Family lived near the border area, which had been changing hands from Zhang Xu, Fei Yang, and Wei Da Kingdom repeatedly.

When there was a chance, Nan Hua would pay a visit.

But for now, she would not bother with those people just yet. There were a lot of other things that she had to take care for the time being.

“… Would the Jun Family come knocking too?” Si Mo Fan grimaced. The thought of those people from Jun Family coming gave him another headache. They were different from Nan Family, but they were equally troublesome.

Nan Hua simply glanced at Si Mo Fan.

“Fine, fine, if that’s what you want…. So will you call me ‘Father’ from now on?’

Naturally, Nan Hua would not call him as father. She didn’t want to have more family members because it was already bad enough that her blood related father was such a scum that didn’t treat his daughter like a human being.

She would not bother with him if not because of the past grievances that he had with the original Nan Hua.

Naturally, she had paid him back.

Now, she didn’t have to worry that much about Nan Family and also her blood related father, who had died.

“Where’s Madam Yan?”

Si Mo Fan sighed and motioned to the back. “She should be in the inner area. It’s the season for some fruits and she’s busy picking them up ever since this morning.”

“Oh.”

Swish!

Seeing that Nan Hua had disappeared faster than the wind, Si Mo Fan was speechless once more. He felt that Nan Hua liked his wife more than him. Whenever she came here, the very first person whom Nan Hua would seek would be his wife rather than him.

Forget it.

He didn’t really need to be liked by this new ‘adopted daughter’ of his.

However, Si Mo Fan silently wondered what the Jun Family would do when they heard that his adopted daughter had the same surname as them. He really hoped that they wouldn’t come forward to make any trouble.

If that happened….

He would just push Nan Hua forward and wash his hand off this matter.

While Si Mo Fan was contemplating about this so called ‘adopted daughter’ that he had, Nan Hua had reached the back. She could see the garden was filled with various types of plants. Madam Yan liked to plant and naturally, fully covered this entire place with many kinds of plants that other people might not be able to think about.

It was really a lot.

“Madam Yan,” Nan Hua called when she saw Madam Yan sat under a large tree. There was a basket filled with potatoes beside her. It seemed that she had just finished tending these potatoes.

Potatoes usually yield every 120 days and can be planted in many types of soil. One of the most common methods was to plant them in hills.

This might be the reason why Madam Yan chose this plant.

“Ah, you’re here, Young Miss.” Yan Xi smiled brightly. “I have just pulled some potatoes that are ripe. You’re right in time to taste my new dishes.”

Nan Hua nodded and then picked the basket beside Yan Xi. She had more strength than Yan Xi.

“You know that I can carry it by myself, right?” Yan Xi laughed lightly and stood up. She liked this young girl. Even though she always acted polite by calling Nan Hua with ‘young miss,’ she didn’t usually act so restricted around her.

In fact, she wanted to think of Nan Hua as her own daughter.

She only had one son, who had already grown up. Having a daughter to care for was something that she had longed.

“It’s fine.”

“Come on. Will you stay for a long time this time? I heard that there are some pieces of news from the Capital City about Nan Hua.” Yan Xi was a bit worried when she heard the rumors that Nan Hua had died from the Capital City of Fei Yang Kingdom.

Thankfully, Si Mo Fan quickly clarified to her that it was just a fake death. The real Nan Hua was still safe and sound.

Seeing Nan Hua again, Yan Xi felt relieved.

“I’ll be here during Winter.”
