503 Wander Around
Marriage?
Nan Hua's eyes narrowed slightly as she considered about what Madam Qu might be planning. She didn't have sufficient knowledge regarding Kai Family, but there were several actions that could possibly affect her.
Nan Xin was still young.
And this family was not remarkable enough. It was obvious that Concubine Mei would do her best to stop this marriage from happening. There shouldn't be any reason for them to even come to Nan Family Residence.
"Xiao Yun."
"Yes, Miss?"
"Follow my instruction carefully."
As Xiao Yun listened to Nan Hua's words, her expression grew stranger, but she tried her best to keep her expression in check. In fact, she was truly wondering just what was Nan Hua was actually planning. However, she knew that as a servant, it was not her place to try to guess what her Master was thinking.
…
Meanwhile
Madam Qu was welcoming the Kai Family with a bright smile on her face. It looked so bright that it felt like there was something strange. Beside her, Concubine Mei was instead trying her best to control her body so that she would not strangle this woman beside her and made sure that Madam Qu died so miserably that not even her corpse could be found.
"Welcome to Nan Family Residence," Madam Qu greeted.
The person in front of her was Madam Kai. She looked at Madam Qu and nodded. "It's been a while, Madam Qu."
"Indeed it has."
Truthfully, Madam Qu couldn't even remember the person in front of her anymore, but she couldn't say that aloud. She had to pretend that she still remembered who she was and acted polite.
Madam Kai smiled in response. "I certainly didn't expect that you will respond to my letter, Madam Qu. In fact, I didn't bear much hope."
Nan Family was very different from Kai Family. It was a family that couldn't be compared between one to another. If Nan Xin was truly married to Kai Family, the one who would rise would be Kai Family instead of Nan Family.
Behind Madam Kai, Master Kai and his son, Second Young Master Kai, were standing stiffly.
They were men, so it would be inappropriate for them to interrupt the talk between Madam Qu and their wife/mother. All they could do was to wait for the host to finish their long greeting.
Thankfully, Nan Shu Cheng was also present. He couched. "Official Kai, let's talk on the side."
"Hahaha, thank you very much, Official Nan."
Official Kai actually didn't think that Nan Family really wanted to marry their daughter to his family. After all, his second son was merely concubine born and didn't actually amount that much. The reason why he allowed his wife sent that letter was simply to try his luck since the Nan Family was still a prestigious family despite being quite in rocky situation lately.
And when he truly got the reply, he presumed that Official Nan had something else that he wanted to talk about. After all, the easiest excuse to visit one another was when they were talking about marriage for the younger generation.
Nothing could be found wrong from that.
Thus, he would not find it surprising if Nan Shu Cheng didn't even want to talk about the marriage with him and instead talked about the current affairs. He had some knowledge about the matter and naturally would be able to chat a bit.
"Please sit." Nan Shu Cheng led Official Kai inside. He looked at the official in front of him and felt a bit of headache. After all, he didn't really have much to talk with him even though Official Kai was also part of the 'neutral' faction.
Official Kai nodded. He quickly introduced his son.
Nan Shu Cheng waved his hand. "He may wait outside. I'll let my wife decide on this matter."
"I understand."
Thus, Second Young Master Kai was 'kicked' out of the room. He stood outside the building, feeling a bit apprehensive. His mother had asked him to dress his best to come here today but he couldn't even see the prospective bride. Well, many people only ended up seeing the person they married on the day they got married.
It was not that strange for him not to be able to meet with his prospective bride.
Sighing internally, Second Young Master Kai walked around when he saw a servant came over to him. He found it odd because the servant in front of him was a young woman rather than a man.
Do note that when interacting with these young masters, the servant who talked with them would usually be males too.
They would rarely interact with female servant.
After all, female servants have their reputation too. If there were words went out that they were alone with a male young master, they might be rumor that they were trying to climb the bed of those people. It wouldn't be good for them either.
"What is it?" Second Young Master Kai furrowed his eyebrows.
"Second Young Master Kai, my Miss wish to meet you." the maidservant bowed and curtsied.
"Your Miss?"
"Second Young Miss Nan."
The one he was supposed to be marrying if the talk went through?
Even though Second Young Master Kai felt that the matter was a bit suspicious, he also wanted to see the beauty. Who would be able to resist the attraction of beauty? He had spent most of his time studying and spent his time in the academy that was filled with men through and through.
Most beautiful women he saw would be his father's concubines.
"Lead the way," Second Young Master Kai agreed.
"Please come this way, Second Young Master Kai."
As the maid lead Second Young Master Kai out, Nan Hou Xiang was silently watching from the back. He didn't have any class today and decided to wait for his mother. Seeing the servant and Second Young Master Kai, his eyes narrowed a bit yet there was a hint of smile within his pupil.
