Chapter 675: The Eldest Lady’s Recklessness
Shock was evident in Housekeeper Ming’s eyes. Clearly, the news that the mission’s target was an innate master was a shock to him as well.
Next to Housekeeper Ming, Nan Feng, upon hearing that the mission’s target was an innate master, wasn’t just shocked, but rather sowhat fearful.
He certainly hadn’t forgotten that it was he who had used the house master’s order under false pretenses to assign the mission to Di Ding, Xuan Wu, and Xuan Liu.
If it was just a commoner, that would be one thing, but he hadn’t expected the mission’s target to be an innate master. Shuyun, you’ve dood !
His legs started to tremble: He feared that this ti he would not be able to escape his fate.
Housekeeper Ming waved his hand toward Di Ding and the others: "Since the mission’s target this ti is an innate master, I don’t bla you for this. You may leave."
As he looked at Nan Feng, a silent sigh filled his heart: This incident was likely to bring big trouble.
The two of them entered the study, and Nan Feng apologized as soon as he ca in: "I’m sorry, Family Head, I should not have abetted the Eldest Lady’s recklessness."
Housekeeper Ming also bent slightly: "I’m sorry, Family Head, I too am at fault for failing to stop the Eldest Lady’s recklessness."
With these words, the two of them frad the ordering of Di Ding and the others to capture Jiang ngyu as the Eldest Lady’s recklessness.
Nan Cheng’s eyes fixed on Nan Feng: "Nan Feng, you’ve got so nerve, daring to issue orders to the Hidden Guard on behalf of the Family Head. Is it, perhaps, that in a few days’ ti, I should let you be the Family Head?"
Listening to these words, Nan Ming couldn’t help but feel that they weren’t aid at Nan Feng, but were instead a warning to himself.
However, even if they were about himself, what of it? Sooner or later, he would be the one to take up the position of Family Head!
Still, he bent even lower.
Seeing Nan Ming’s submissive deanor, Nan Cheng’s irritation subsided a little.
He couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable when facing Nan Ming. He always sensed that Nan Ming had a certain aura that only an elder would possess.
But he was raised by the elder since he was a child, and even though the title of adopted son was never officially bestowed, many household responsibilities were entrusted to him, and he was appointed the Housekeeper of the Nan Family.
Sotis he even felt that the elder considered Nan Ming as his own son.
When the elder passed away the year before last, he even had a private conversation with him.
At tis, he thought that the Housekeeper had too much power within the family and wanted to reduce it, but he himself was busy taking over so overseas businesses that had been interrupted for more than a decade and had no ti to manage dostic affairs.
Since Nan Ming had not openly made any mistakes, he had no choice but to allow him to continue as Housekeeper.
But now, it seed that he had been too indulgent with the Housekeeper.
As soon as Nan Feng heard the Family Head’s words, he fell to his knees with a thump: "Family Head, I wouldn’t dare."
"It seems to you dare quite a bit, even going so far as to impersonate my command to issue a house master’s order to the Hidden Guard." The Nan Family Head waved his hand: "Go and accept your punishnt. After that, you do not need to stay by my side. Go manage the newly acquired estate in Africa."
Upon hearing that he was to be dispatched to Africa, Nan Feng collapsed.
Nan Ming tried to intercede: "Family Head, this matter isn’t entirely Nan Feng’s fault. Mainly, the Eldest Lady wanted to make use of soone, and he could not disobey the Eldest Lady’s words."
Hearing the Housekeeper intercede for him, Nan Cheng snorted: "Then go to Thailand. Regardless, you cannot remain by my side."
Upon hearing that, Nan Feng at last breathed a sigh of relief, grateful not to be sent to Africa.
The Nan Family Head then said, "Nan Mingzhu acted without the Family Head’s consent and rashly used the Hidden Guard. Just dock her cultivation resources for the second half of the year."
Nan Ming was taken aback: "Family Head, isn’t this punishnt a bit too severe?"
"Severe? Then would you rather it be like Nan Feng’s case? And were you at ho that day too? Was it not also recklessness on your part when the Eldest Lady was reckless? Let’s dock your salary for the half year as well."
