Chapter 495 Mu Fei Jiu

Chapter 495 Mu Fei Jiu

Lei Xiao Yi's face changed a bit. She quickly laughed. "How could it be? Everyone had their own strength and weakness. I wouldn't dare to laugh at you because of that, First Young Miss Nan."

Nan Hua nodded.

On the other hand, Lei Xiao Yi was chewing her lower lips. She wanted to make Nan Hua said that she still had a lot of spare time in order to continue asking about what Nan Hua said during her free time. However, Nan Hua had already changed the direction of the conversation to her.

It would be hard to steer the conversation back to that point.

And she clearly couldn't risk having herself the reputation of mocking other people because of their lower talent. There were many others who couldn't really do some of the four arts well and thus, they would hate it if there were anyone who mocked them because of their poor talent.

Lei Xiao Yi herself wouldn't dare to claim that she was the best either. She wouldn't want to risk having herself had to prove her talent in front of other people.

"First Young Miss Nan, are you going to stay in the Capital City for a long time?" another girl asked, changing the conversation once more.

Nan Hua looked at the young girl deeply. "That would depend on what my family decided for me."

Family and not parents.

The girl knew very well that the rumors about Nan Hua's bad relationship with her father and stepmother still sprout out from time to time. It seemed that the rumor was also the truth considering how Nan Hua answered her question.

But she didn't dare to ask more about that matter, so the girl shut up.

Lei Xiao Yi took a deep breath. "In that case, let's talk about the flower. We're all here for Flower Seeing Banquet that Her Highness Empress Dowager Mei held, so would it be too much for me to ask which flower do you like the most?"

Nan Hua blinked her eyes, thinking that this Lei Xiao Yi was persistent and knew how to use her words well. They would not dare to say anything before Empress Dowager Mei came because it would be an embarrassment if they liked a flower that Empress Dowager Mei hated.

And Nan Hua knew that whatever flower she chose, Empress Dowager Mei would definitely dislike it.

Because she was on the faction that she hated.

"I have only arrived and hadn't had the time to look around." Nan Hua looked at the flowers. "There are too many flowers here. I will definitely need to take a long time to choose."

"I see." Lei Xiao Yi forced a smile. "How about the flower that caught your eyes the most? There should be one, right…?"

"First Young Miss Lei, I didn't know you're such a persistent person."

The ladies turned their head around and saw a young girl who was barely 10 years old standing not far from them. Her hair was tied in two buns, making her look both cute and lovable. Though, her words would shatter that image almost instantly.

"First Young Miss Nan clearly look uncomfortable. Why do you keep on asking question to her when you have only meet each other for the first time?" the girl tilted her head. "My family taught me that it's only polite not to press others for answer when they clearly didn't want to answer. If you keep on being that persistent, there wouldn't be many people who want to talk with you in fear of you keep on asking them to reveal their past experience."

Her words were neither loud or small, allowing the other peopled around to hear her voice.

Lei Xiao Yi's face changed. "Fourth Young Miss Mu, please don't slander me."

Fourth Young Miss Mu, Mu Fei Jiu, smiled. "I'm only saying things based on what I see. If I say things wrong, please forgive me, First Young Miss Lei."

"I…"

"Are you angry with me?" Mu Fei Jiu's eyes reddened almost immediately, looking like she was about to cry on the spot.

Lei Xiao Yi quickly answered, "I'm not angry. Please don't be sad, Fourth Young Miss Mu. It's nothing more than a misunderstanding. Everyone can make a mistake."

Mu Fei Jiu smiled brightly once more. "Thank you for clarifying for me, First Young Miss Lei. It's indeed only a misunderstanding and everyone can make a mistake. I hope that you can forgive me for my small mistake."

Right at this moment, Lei Xiao Yi nearly cursed out loudly. Everyone had their own nemesis and the type that they couldn't handle. For her, the type like Mu Fei Jiu who could twist word and acted like a white lotus was exactly the type that she couldn't handle.

She was older than Mu Fei Jiu by more than three years. If she made Mu Fei Jiu cried, the others would think that she bullied this little girl. She also couldn't live by with that reputation.

It was so hard.

On the other hand, Nan Hua was looking at Mu Fei Jiu carefully. She was sure that this was the first time she met with Mu Fei Jiu. However, she could guess the reason why this little lass was helping her.

Mu Fei Jiu might be young, but Nan Hua could see another person's image when she looked at her. Though, Nan Hua didn't really think that it was necessary for the other party to make such a move like this for her.

At this time, Mu Fei Jiu chose to ignore the other ladies. She knew that these people were all concubines' daughters who were already set to become a concubine to some officials in the future. They still tried to gain more connection in order to change their fates, but she had no intention to help them.

They didn't even know how to select right friends.

Mu Fei Jiu walked closer to Nan Hua and smiled brightly. "First Young Miss Nan, I'm Mu Fei Jiu, Fourth Young Miss of Mu Family. It's nice to meet you."

Nan Hua looked at the young girl deeply. "Nan Hua, First Young Miss of Nan Family. It's nice to meet you too, Fourth Young Miss Mu."
