Chapter 509 Heading to Yi Shang Temple
??Nan Hua was the calmest of the group. Looking at the angry Madam Qu, Nan Hua didn't even care in the slightest bit. She knew the fierce battle for the management power in the harem, but it didn't have any relationship with her in the slightest bit.??No matter who held the power, she would make sure that she could stay here and rest while waiting for her grandfather to come back.
??The others didn't matter at all.
??"Miss, please come here." Xiao Yun had prepared the carriage for Nan Hua and also loaded a lot of other things. If one didn't know better, they might think that she was serving a very pampered young miss.
??Nan Hua looked at the items but chose not to comment. She had instructed Xiao Yun to make sure that she should be treated as a normal young miss at normal times. It was because of this she allowed Xiao Yun to prepare everything that ordinary young miss would need.
??"Mom, do I need to go too?" Nan Xin pouted. She felt that it was unfair. Even though she didn't do anything, her father arranged for her to leave along with the others. This made her felt so thoroughly annoyed.
??She didn't do anything yet she got the brunt of the impact.
??It was so vexing that she didn't know what she was supposed to do anymore.
??"Be good." Concubine Mei patted her daughter's head tenderly. "You will be fine even if you have to go to Yi Shang Temple. When you return, everything will be much better for us here."
??Nan Xin's eyes lit up.
??Right.
??Her mother was now the one who held the most power in Nan Family Residence after her father. Even though this position was temporary, her mother could definitely do something to make sure that things were turning to their tide.
??With that in mind, Nan Xin felt much better and headed to the carriage with a peace of mind. She just wanted to leave now so that she could return earlier later on.
??Meanwhile, Nan Hou Xiang was looking at his gloomy mother and also felt a bit frustrated. He had already contacted Qu Family, but they failed to do anything and now his father's position was also threatened. Until this matter was settled, it was unlikely that his father would allow his mother to go back.
??During this time, he was basically alone.
??'Damn it.'
??Nan Hou Xiang's eyes turned cold. He wanted to do something, but he was also sure that there was nothing that he could do. Helplessly, Nan Hou Xiang stood as he watched his mother left.
??"Second Young Master."
??"Let's go." Nan Hou Xiang turned around. His expression was solemn. "At the very least, I shouldn't disappoint her."
??The servants looked at each other and nodded.
??…
??The journey to Yi Shang Temple wouldn't really take a long time since the location was not far from the Capital City. Not to mention, the road had been fixed recently, making the journey smoother.
??Nan Hua sat inside her carriage, glancing outside with Xiao Yun and Mu Yan sat in front of her. The two of them were staying silent, but they were actually also very alert because they didn't dare to let anything happen to Nan Hua.
??Aside from them, Chu Yue also tagged alone, but she was outside. Only Ran was left to tend the quarter back in Nan Family Residence. There was no need for Nan Hua to bring so many servants along.
??As for the quarter, Nan Hua didn't leave anything important there.
??In the first place, she would never bring all of her items from Old Master Nan's Residence to Nan Shu Cheng's Residence because it was unnecessary.
??"Hmm?" Nan Hua's finger stopped tapping. "There's going to be a battle."
??"Miss, shall we…?"
??"Stay."
??The two maidservants nodded in understanding. Xiao Yun knocked the door and Chu Yue quickly came closer. She noticed the mark that Xiao Yun made and silently nodded. It was the symbol that the two of them had agreed with each other before.
??It meant that there might be danger but she was not allowed to move.
??KYaaaaaaaaa!
??Screams sounded from the front, followed by the sound of metal clashing.
??Nan Hua didn't even more from her position. Listening to the sound of the metal clashing as the image of the battle flashed inside her mind like a movie. For an expert, knowing what type of attack it was just based on the sound was very normal and Nan Hua had long gotten used to this imaging training because of her grandfather.
??He wanted all four of them to be able to know their enemy's strength by listening to their battle. Because it might not be possible for them to see their enemy directly if they fought in the middle of night.
??In the past, Nan Hua still have some difficulties because the sound didn't seem to be that different. But with her grandfather's help, she was able to notice the minute differences after a lot of practices.
??'Powerful attackers. They're pretty fast but rough.' Within moments, Nan Hua concluded that the one who attacked them were a bandit group instead of assassins.
??Their moves were too poor to be assassins.
??Xiao Yun held the sword in her hand tightly. Since they had to hide Nan Hua's identity, she would have to be prepared for any unexpected situation.
??Clang! Clang!
??"What in the world is this?" Madam Qu shouted in fright. In her entire life, this was the first time she ever saw something like this. She had already traveled to Yi Shang Temple a few times in the past, but this was the first time she was robbed in the middle of the day like this.
??"Give us your money!" The man at the front laughed. He brandished his sword, pointing it towards the group of people in front of him. "If you don't want to, I'll kill everyone here."
