1071 [Bonus chapter]Selfish (1)

Jun Zhao took a relieved sigh when he heard that.

He was more worried that his cousin might have accidentally offended someone important. If that was the case, would he be able to see his son again in the future after sending that brat into the battlefield?

If that was the case, it would be much better for him to be the one to be sent out instead of his son.

"I see." Jun Zhao smiled.

Nan Luo felt a bit guilty for not telling the truth right away. However, he didn't have good impression of the current Jun Family, so it would be better for him to find out more about them rather than revealing everything right away.

"How much do you know about her?"

"Jun Liu Li, my cousin, left with her parents when I was still young, so I don't remember much." Jun Zhao had to admit that he didn't know much about her either. Being a man, there was little to no contact with his cousin who was younger than him.

"Are there still any contact between her parents and Jun Family?" This was what Nan Luo wanted to know the most.

Jun Zhao was silent for a moment then nodded. "There should be some contact with father, but I'm not entirely sure. When they first left, there are still some letters sent. But later on, they didn't send anything else."

"When they left the Jun Family, who are with them? Do you still remember all of them?"

Jun Zhao was stunned at this question.

He looked at Nan Luo suspiciously.

Nan Luo spread his hand. "I have my use of the list if you have it. If you don't have it, I can ask others."

In fact, he already had the name of some servants who followed his mother to the Capital City. Many of them were no longer working for her by the time she got married, but some of them were still there.

He just wanted to know whether there were still people who were actually monitoring her.

Jun Zhao smiled bitterly. "I don't know much about it. You'll have to ask my father if you want to know more, but I doubt that he'll answer."

Nan Luo nodded.

The relationship between his grandfather and Jun Zhao's father was not good at all. After all, the reason for his grandfather to leave Han Zhui City was because of some animosity between him and his brother.

It was all in the past for now.

"That should be all. Thank you for answering my question, Second Master Jun."

"It's my pleasure to be able to help you, Young Commander Nan." Jun Zhao stood up and cupped his fist.

The two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries before Jun Zhao left the study room. He had no intention of staying here any longer. Even though he was confused as to why Nan Luo was so interested in his cousin, he didn't dare to pry deeper.

The current Jun Family was far from their peak. They were already living a hard life because it was not easy for them to maintain their current business. The profit was not much but without it, they wouldn't be able to live.

They couldn't really venture into new business either.

It was hard.

"Nan, do you think he's telling the truth?" Nan Luo asked curiously.

"Yes." Nan Hua's eyes flickered. "He had no reason to lie when he really didn't know anything much."

"Oh?"

"He's still a kid when his cousin left."

"Did he never question his father about it?" Nan Luo spoke out his mind before finding it ridiculous. Even he would never try to question his grandfather about his past conflict or decisions.

It was not his business.

And he also didn't dare to do that.

His grandfather wouldn't hesitate to beat him up to pulp if he dared to pry deeper into his grandfather's business.

Nan Hua passed a look at Nan Luo and didn't answer that question. The basic respect between an elder and their children was not to question about their past conflict unless it reached the point where everyone in their family was threatened.

Not many people would be willing to share their black history.

"Nan, what do you want to find out about Jun Family?"

"There are record of money being send to help them until a decade ago." Nan Hua passed a look at Nan Luo. Around a decade ago was the time when the Jun Family that was in the Capital City was destroyed. And two years after that, their mother passed away.

It meant that the two families were actually still connected to each other and might even watch over each other.

Nan Luo froze. His eyes turned ruthless. "Did they know about Jun Family problems yet they didn't lend a helping hand?"

"Maybe."

Nan Hua hadn't read the information that Cai Yao Shu gathered yet. He should be going towards Xia Mountains, so once the recruitment was done, she would go there to review everything.

Once it was clear, she would tell Nan Luo and do what she wanted to do.

"How ruthless of them." Nan Luo chuckled, his eyes were exceedingly cold. If the Jun Family really abandoned his mother, he would naturally teach them a lesson for what they had done.

However, it was also strange that they didn't say that they keep communication with each other.

The younger generation might not.

But the older generation...

"Nan, how about if I teach that old man a lesson?"

Nan Hua expressionlessly raised her hand and flicked Nan Luo's forehead.

Thwack!

"Owww! Why are you behaving like Grandpa?"

"Don't be ridiculous." Nan Hua passed a look at Nan Luo. "Is there any need for you to move by yourself just to deal with this small matter?"

Nan Luo was speechless.

Can this be called as a small matter?

Whenever it involved his mother or his twin sister, it would be really hard for Nan Luo to hold himself back.
