"Yes, Miss."
Mu Yan walked out and soon, Concubine Mu walked inside. Nan Hua looked at the elegant woman in front of her. Concubine Mu was already in her thirties, but she still looked like she was only in her twenties. She didn't look that much different from when she was young.
Dressed in pale green dress, she didn't look that remarkable from a distance. However, Nan Hua could faintly sense that the woman in front of her was not simply just a mere concubine who was being oppressed.
"Mu Xiao Ya greets First Young Miss Nan," Concubine Mu bowed and greeted using her full name.
Nan Hua nodded. She was looking at the woman in front of her with curiosity. "It's a pleasant surprise to see you here, Concubine Mu."
Concubine Mu smiled faintly. "Forgive me for not ing earlier. It's not easy to gain the permission to visit First Young Miss."
"It's not your fault."
"Thank you for your benevolence, First Young Miss."
Looking at the way Concubine Mu was acting polite and flattering her, Nan Hua could guess that this concubine was here to ask for her help. Though, it somewhat made her wonder just what this concubine saw in her to the point that she would approach Nan Hua first.
After all, Nan Hua had been acting as a lazy and unremarkable First Young Miss Nan while she was staying in Nan Shu Cheng's Residence. There was no need for her to show her brilliance because it would only attract other people's attention to look in her direction.
It was something she didn't need.
"Is there anything I can do to help you, Concubine Mu?" Nan Hua asked with a low voice.
Concubine Mu was still smiling. "I brought you some medicine that can help hasten your recovery. It might be late, but I hope that you can accept it, First Young Miss."
Nan Hua didn't answer and merely looked at Concubine Mu. Her eyes were clear and there was not even the slightest bit of emotion expressed within them. It was as if she was nothing more than an ice block that couldn't be moved in the slightest bit.
"There are a lot of changes in the servants." Concubine Mu waved her hand, indicating for her maidservant to put the gift down. "My husband had been quite busy lately that he had no time to notice this difference."
"There are a lot of rumors circulating. It's not easy for him." Despite saying that, Nan Hua's tone didn't contain any pity or anything like that. Her tone was calm and indifferent as if she had no relationship whatsoever with Nan Shu Cheng.
"Indeed." Concubine Mu chuckled.
"Please take a seat first, Concubine Mu."
"Thank you for your hospitality." Concubine Mu took a seat and sat down in front of Nan Hua. She could see that Nan Hua waved her hand for her servant to receive the gift, which meant that at the very least, Nan Hua was willing to listen to her.
It was nothing more than small action, but it showed that Nan Hua had plete control over her servants around her. It might not include the other ordinary servants, but at the very least, her closest servants were all loyal to her.
"There are other people in this big residence. Surely, I'm not the only one who had the time to entertain you, Concubine Mu?"
Concubine Mu chuckled. "That's true, but with the petition so fierce, where can I find someone I can talk with ease? It's not easy for my sisters to survive in this residence and it's a bit hard for me to talk a lot with them."
When Concubine Mu was saying sisters, it was clear that she was referring to the other concubines in Nan Shu Cheng's Residence. With them all peting for Nan Shu Cheng's favor, it could be said to be a bloody battle.
How could they trust each other?
Nan Hua didn't respond and merely looked at Concubine Mu.
"I didn't have any children and it's something I wished for a long time. But because I don't think I'll succeed, I think this is already the second best thing to be able to interact with First Young Miss with ease."
"I see." Nan Hua's tone was calm.
Concubine Mu smiled and bowed slightly. "I only e this time in order to have a light chat with you, First Young Miss Nan. For you to be willing to entertain this lowly one is already a reward for me."
"Even if I don't have the time to, I'm sure that there are others Concubine Mu wants to pay a visit."
Concubine Mu only smiled brighter but she didn't answer anything.
Nan Hua looked at Concubine Mu as the latter stood up. "There are more than enough time in the past to build more relationship. It didn't have to be now, isn't it?"
"That's true, but there's no good chance in the past." Concubine Mu looked at Nan Hua deeply before chuckling. "I guess I'm just feeling tired to stay alone and see the others acting out and try to make use of me."
"I see."
After that, the two exchanged pleasantries and Concubine Mu left. Still sitting on her chair, Nan Hua thought about Concubine Mu and the information that was gathered about this concubine. The information was rather inaccurate.
Concubine Mu was indeed very low key and rarely made any move. But when she finally made a move, it would shake the entire residence. And after meeting her, Nan Hua realized why Concubine Qu could never defeat Concubine Mu.
In terms of brain, intelligence, and means, she lost in all aspect.
If Concubine Mu really wanted Nan Shu Cheng's favor, Concubine Qu would have long lost the seat as the main wife.
'Another piece to plete the gear.'
Nan Hua looked outside. Now that seeds had all been planted, it was time for her to reap the result. Slowly but surely, she would make sure these people pay for what they had done to the real Nan Hua, Nan Luo, and her mother.
