Long Qian Xing beckoned for the servants to close the door as he sat down. He didn't only come here because he wanted to entertain the two siblings but because he had another matters to attend to.
"Young Master, would you deal with that young man?" the servant asked, killing intent flashed within his eyes. Looking at his young master being used by other people like that displeased him.
"Leave him be. It's not worth your time."
"Yes, Young Master."
Despite not feeling too good, Long Qian Xing knew that the other party merely announced his existence. Thankfully, he didn't come here covertly and instead openly. It was just a bit annoyed to be used as distraction by other people.
Though, he soon forgot about it.
Knock! Knock!
"Young Master, your guest had come."
"Come in."
Swish!
A small white fox jumped inside as soon as the door was opened. It looked around then landed on the table where there were a lot of food. Its small eyes twinkled in delight as if it had found treasures.
"Ah, sorry to make you wait for long. I heard that you've come just now from the commotion."
Long Qian Xing looked at the young man in front of him with his lips curled up. So the commotion had its benefit too. He managed to lure this young man out faster. "It's fine. Now that you're here, shouldn't you start to talk about business?"
"Alright~."
…
While Long Qian Xing was busy with the business, Nan Hua and Nan Luo headed to the sweet shop before they returned to Nan Family Residence. Nan Luo told Old Master Nan everything that happened. He didn't exclude anything and reported everything truthfully.
"The Zhang Family is creating ruckus again?" Old Master Nan looked at his grandson with pity. It seemed that his grandson's luck was quite bad to be meeting those two when he was outing with his twin sister.
Nan Luo shrugged. "It happens from time to time, right? I heard that their relationship has always been very bad."
"It's not this open in the past." Old Master Nan rubbed his beard but then he shook his head. "Forget it, it's not our business. Nan Family and Zhang Family are not close to each other."
"Nan Shu Cheng seems to know the head of Zhang Family," Nan Luo commented. He still could remember that the head of Zhang Family visited the Nan Family. After all, Nan Shu Cheng brought him and Nan Hou Xiang to meet with that old fogey.
Old Master Nan sighed. "That's his business. Even if they're close to each other, it had nothing to do with us."
"Right."
"Also, stay at home for now."
"Ah? I thought that it's already time for me to attend the academy again?" Nan Luo was stunned. It was not like he missed the academy but he wanted more variety of people to spar against. It was not fun to just fight against Nan Hua and Hou Liang all the time.
"You can go if you want." Old Master Nan looked at his grandson. "However, I want you to be very careful."
"Yes!"
"Good, now go back to Ning Shu Pavilion, it's time to train."
"Ah?" Nan Luo had just returned from outing and now he had to train again? He felt that his grandfather was really unfair.
Nan Hua tugged her twin brother's sleeve. "We'll train together."
"Okay, Hua'er!"
Seeing how Nan Luo easily change his attitude, Old Master Nan rolled his eyes. He felt that his words wouldn't be listened well by his grandson but his granddaughter's words were listened very well.
He glanced at Hou Liang, who was following them from behind. "Is there any danger?"
"They didn't make any more this time. However, Young Miss Nan seems to make a prank against Young Mis…I mean Madam Wen."
Long Xu Nian had just gotten married to Wen Family, so she was now Madam Wen and not the Long Family Miss once more.
Old Master Nan arched his eyebrows. He wondered just what did that Long Xu Nian did to provoke his little granddaughter to make the young girl make a move even in broad daylight. But no matter what, he was happy that his granddaughter had already vented her feeling.
"Alright, you're dismissed."
Hou Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Old Master Nan looked so delighted when he heard that Nan Hua was scheming against Long Xu Nian. It seemed as if he had been waiting for this news since a long time ago.
But really…
The young miss's patience was indeed amazing.
The next day.
The twins heard news regarding the uproar in Wen Family Residence. It was said that Wen Family young master threw up in the morning after waking up with an ugly wife beside him. It was to the point that he created a ruckus and cursed the Long Family so openly while his wife was crying buckets.
Thanks to the spies that was planted in his house by other family, the news spread fast.
"Her face shouldn't be that bad, right?" Nan Luo was speechless when he heard the news. He thought that the Long Family must have already cured her face after so much time.
Xiao Yan's lips twitched. "Her wounds opened and some part of the flesh are rotting, Young Master."
Rotting?
Nan Hua's eyes deepened. She was sure that the medicine that she applied on her needle was only enough to make the wound open once more. It was not enough to make it rot…
Thus, the only possibility was that someone else was going against Long Xu Nian. Was it Long Qian Xing? Or was it someone else? Long Xu Nian's personality was not completely well liked by other people since she was someone who had already offended a certain number of people.
If they tried to go against Long Xu Nian, Nan Hua would not feel surprised.
"With such commotion, would the Wen Family honor the Long Family when they visit the bride family in three days?" Nan Luo asked curiously.
"Probably not, Young Master." Xiao Yan's lips twitched.
With such a big commotion, it would be a big wonder that the Wen Family would even try their best to honor Long Family. Even though they would still follow the tradition to give face to the other party, it was unlikely to be done with great respect.
After all, it was clear that they would feel cheated with such an ugly wife.
"They had to," Nan Hua replied.
"Ah, why?"
"Because of General Long." Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo with a gaze that seemed to ask, 'Are you an idiot?'
Nan Luo's lips twitched. Right, General Long was still an existence that most people couldn't offend. No, they couldn't offend him in the slightest bit because with just a word, he could even influence the entire court to help him deal with the people who offend him.
Not only that, what about his private army?
No one could say for sure that they would be able to go against this powerful great general.
"General Long is not in the Capital City, right?"
"His grandmother is there."
Nan Luo was speechless and chose not to say anything else. Since Nan Hua had said so, it meant that she must be confident that her words would be true.
…
Three days later, Nan Hua's words were proven to be correct. Wen Family young master come to Long Family Residence to accompany Long Xu Nian. Some people even talked about it on the street, especially after the huge ruckus that happened right after the wedding night.
In Long Family Residence.
Long Qian Xing was the only one who greeted the two of them while his grandmother was still staying inside. He smiled politely when he saw the two of them walked out of the carriage with Long Xu Nian wore a hat that worked as a veil to completely cover her face.
Her eyes turned red as she looked at her younger brother whom she hated so much.
On the other hand, Young Master Wen was still polite. Even though he disliked the bride so much, he would not show it when they were visiting the Long Family Residence. Who knew whether he could come out alive or not from this deadly place.
"It's a great honor to have you come here, Young Master Wen. Grandmother is inside and she's waiting for you."
"Is that so?" Young Master Wen smiled stiffly and tried his best to be polite. He couldn't offend Long Family in the slightest bit. There was no need for him to pretend at all as he yanked his hand from Long Xu Nian and walked inside.
Long Xu Nian's eyes were filled with rage as she looked at her younger brother. "Are you the one who did it?"
"Me?" Long Qian Xing looked at Long Xu Nian and let out a faint laugh.. "You're not worthy for me to do anything. As for what happened, isn't it all your own doings?"
