Long Qian Xing's father actually had an engagement with Old Master Nan's daughter, Nan Si Qiao. Back then, the two families were indeed close and Old Madam Long does fancy Nan Si Qiao.
After all, she only has one son.
The two families set up the engagement. However, Long Qian Xing's father ended up falling for a woman he met at the battlefield. Not exactly at the battlefield but more like in the city where he was stationed and thus he mentioned the matter to Old Madam Long.
At that time, Old Madam Long came personally and berated her son for a long time. It took some time before she accepted the arrangement and had to explain a lot to Old Master Nan.
The young lady was also a noble family and had good personality.
She never met with Long Qian Xing's father directly because he only saw her from a distance.
And Old Madam Long was speechless by her son's romantic gene…
He fell for a woman from the first glance?
She ended up berating her son for a long period of time before she could finally settle her son's marriage with that young lady. The lady's family was also pleasantly surprised as they were a rather small noble family.
And it was indeed rather impossible to reject the offer from a powerful general's family.
The young lady was not engaged and had no lover or whatsoever, so the engagement could be settled rather quickly.
Thankfully, Old Master Nan also accepted the arrangement after some coaxing. Rather than coaxing, it was more like the two of them were scolding each other for more than a day's time.
That incident was still remembered in the heart of some older servants who had served Long Family and Nan Family for a long time.
The two of them were extremely fierce at that time.
After all, Nan Si Qiao herself didn't really fancy Long Qian Xing's father. While the matter of reputation was somewhat troublesome, it was good that when he brought Nan Si Qiao to the battlefield for a try of her martial arts, another man had taken fancy to her, which is General Feng.
After some arrangement, it was then settled for Nan Si Qiao to marry General Feng while Long Qian Xing's father married his mother.
There were some follow up after the incident.
However, the two families' relationship was still good even with this incident.
And back then was quite different since there was no Imperial Edict. The engagement was also only made orally without any written statement, so there was no big repercussion. It was just a shame that the two of them couldn't bee in laws.
The matter of reputation was a bit troublesome but it was solved in the end after some problems.
But this time Long Qian Xing had an Imperial Edict that bound him together with Nan Hua. If he wanted to break it, it was not so easy.
It was not impossible, but Old Madam Long really liked Nan Hua.
And Old Madam Long really didn't want to repeat that troublesome incident ever again. If she truly had to, she would rather spank her grandson until he couldn't move from the hospital.
Long Qian Xing looked at his grandmother helplessly. "Grandmother, what do you see me as? I'm not that kind of man. I'm only thinking that her name is quite beautiful and that her parents must have thought a lot to name her that way."
"Qing Wei? Rose?" Old Madam Long thought for a moment. It was indeed a good name. Flowers names were considered to be rather good and elegant.
However, she didn't think that the young girl really suited that name.
"Yes."
"I see." Old Madam Long looked at her grandson and felt a bit distressed. "Don't wrong Hua'er, okay."
Long Qian Xing was speechless.
Am I your grandson or is Nan Hua your granddaughter?
However, Long Qian Xing was patient with his grandmother and could only reassure her again, "I know, Grandmother."
"Good." Old Madam Long still looked at her grandson with some suspicions. She really didn't want to be embroiled in another problems of engagement like before. It was too tiring.
In the end, Long Qian Xing entertained his grandmother a bit more before he let her rest. After taking the medicine, Old Madam Long felt sleepy and needed to sleep. He didn't want to disturb her either.
Old Madam Long was no longer that young.
As he walked out, Long Qian Xing looked towards the sky when he stopped inside his quarter. His eyes narrowed. "Long Xu."
"Yes, Master."
"Investigate when Luo Qing Wei began to start showing her medical talent and have the ability to do operation."
"Yes, Master."
Standing silently, Long Qian Xing felt that this world was really interesting. And if it was as he had guessed, things might not end as peacefully as he had expected things to be in the first place.
But even if it was that way, he was not afraid at all.
No matter how hard it is, he had e to be part of this world, so he would never let anyone destroy what he had.
…
Nan Hua looked at her grandfather, who was looking at her with dark expression. She looked at the sky and felt that the sky was still bright. It hadn't been that long since she paid a visit to Long Family Residence.
"Hua'er."
"Yes, Grandfather?"
"Why are you spending so much time to stay with that old hag? Your grandfather is much better than him, okay?"
Nan Hua was speechless.
On the back, Hou Lin closed his eyes. He began to think that Feng Ao Si's idiocy was actually inherited from Old Master Nan. Even though Old Master Nan was really good at the battlefield, he was quite… simple in daily matters.
Seeing that her grandfather was really pouting, Nan Hua was silent. She really didn't know what she should do to coax her grandfather.
"Grandfather, I'll spend the rest of the day with you, okay?"
