Chapter 484 Entering Long Family Residence

Chapter 484 Entering Long Family Residence

Back at Nan Luo's side

Old Master Nan and Nan Luo quickly headed out because they didn't really have anything else to do. Everything that was supposed to be settled had been settled before this day.

"Grandfather, what is that person doing here?" Nan Luo looked at the eyesore and mumbled.

Old Master Nan laughed dryly. "It's also the time for him to go to the battlefield, Luo. What's so weird about him coming here?"

Nan Luo looked at his grandfather, wondering whether his grandfather was mocking him or truly didn't know. But when he saw the gloating expression on his grandfather's face, he understood that his grandfather knew.

Knew but he was happy with this outcome.

Nan Luo was speechless.

Today was supposed to be the day Long Family Residence welcomed a new mistress named Shangguan Mi. As the husband, Long Qian Xing didn't even bother to take a look at the new mistress but departed to the frontline almost immediately.

Who knew what words would spread by tomorrow?

"Luo, you're here." Feng Ao Si waved his hand. "How's the condition in Nan Family Residence?"

"I don't know because I don't really enter inside." Nan Luo swept his gaze across the soldiers. It just dawned to him that from now on, this would be the scene that he would see very often when he opened his eyes.

There was no more comfortable bed and comfortable food.

Everyday would be a struggle for them in order to protect Fei Yang Kingdom from the other kingdoms who wanted a piece of them.

"I see."

Feng Ao Kuai walked over while guiding a horse behind him. He looked at Nan Luo and nodded his head. From his gaze, Nan Luo could tell that Feng Ao Kuai was warning him not to mess things up.

While the three children talked to each other, Old Master Nan walked over to Long Qian Xing's side. Looking at how Long Qian Xing had dressed himself, it looked as if he was going for a war almost immediately.

"Great General Nan," Long Qian Xing greeted first.

Old Master Nan nodded. "Young Commander Long."

"To what do I owe your presence?" Long Qian Xing asked with a courteous smile on his face. It might look polite on the surface, but other people wouldn't be able to guess what was inside his mind.

Old Master Nan had met several people who were like Long Qian Xing, but he always felt that this youngster was somewhat more complicated or harder to read. But of course, he would not mention this. He only felt that his old friend's grandson was somewhat interesting.

"I didn't expect to see you here today, Young Commander Long."

"If I'm not here, where should I be?" Long Qian Xing asked back, as if clueless of the fact that he was supposed to be welcoming a concubine today.

Old Master Nan chuckled. He had no intention of reminding Long Qian Xing and then forced this man to be the little villain. Since there were really no feelings between Long Qian Xing and Shangguan Mi, it was only natural for Long Qian Xing to not care about that young lady.

But his action of showing this so clearly pleased Old Master Nan greatly.

"Be careful on the battlefield, Young Lad."

"Thank you for your reminder, Great General Nan." Long Qian Xing cupped his fist. He watched as Old Master Nan walked away and shook his head internally. Even though they didn't speak clearly, he could sense that Old Master Nan was pleased by his performance of not caring about the new concubine.

While the concept of harem was common in this place, it was only natural for a grandfather to wish that their granddaughter was the first in his heart. After all, only those who had the affection of the man could thrive in their residence.

Without any affection, it would be hard to even survive.

Long Qian Xing pushed the thought to the back of his head. In any case, he planned to let that annoying woman to live by herself for the time being. When he returned in the future, he would settle her and kicked her out.

…

Long Family Residence

Shangguan Mi came with the hope that she would be welcomed grandly. However, her face turned darker and darker with each turn.

She was not allowed to enter through the main gate and had to enter through the side gate. Mind you, the side gate was the gate meant for servants to walk through. It meant that Long Family didn't really want to welcome her yet they had to.

And even after she mentioned the matter of her coming here as part of Empress Dowager Mei's order, the servants only laughed.

"Don't you know that the other concubines of General Long are selected by Emperor Xuan? They're also the same as you."

"Nonsense! How is it possible?"

The servant laughed. "If you don't believe it, you can ask around. The decision is yours. If you want to enter Long Family Residence, the side door is open, but the main door is closed."

At that point, Shangguan Mi's heart were burning with hatred. However, she also knew that she couldn't do anything. If she wanted to enter Long Family Residence, she had to use the side door or she could just leave.

The Long Family Residence would be happy if she didn't come inside.

Enduring the humiliation, Shangguan Mi walked to the side door and entered the Long Family Residence. But it was only the start of her hell.

Old Madam Long looked at Shangguan Mi who came and kowtowed to her. She snorted. "Long Qian Xing had left the residence and will only return in a few more months. During this time, you should behave well."

What?

Shangguan Mi was so stunned that she raised her head. On the day she came to Long Family Residence, Long Qian Xing himself was not present?

What would people say when they heard this?

At this moment, Shangguan Mi knew very well that because her entrance to Long Family Residence was not ideal, it was time for her to pay for what she asked.
