Chapter 218
The next morning.
Nan Hua had Xiao Yun and Mu Yan served her as usual. Looking at their countenance, it was easy to tell that they barely had any sleep last night. They might have been working hard because the lack of people here, so they were more tired than what they were supposed to be.
“Xiao Yun.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“Call Tong, I want two more servant girls to take care of this place.”
Xiao Yun was stunned by the request, but she quickly bowed down. “Yes, Miss. I’ll ask Steward Tong to arrange it.”
Nan Hua nodded. She glanced at Mu Yan and knew that the servant girl that her grandfather arranged to her was good at her work. The only downside was that Mu Yan was too careful. She was so careful that she didn’t dare to speak openly.
“I’m going to see Grandpa.”
“Yes, Miss.”
The two servants quickly do Nan Hua’s makeup and dress before Xiao Yun followed Nan Hua to Old Master Nan’s Quarter. At this time, her twin brother and cousins were already there. Their faces were dark because their grandfather had already arranged another strenuous activity for them once again.
“Hua’er, you’re here!” Nan Luo quickly went over to Nan Hua. His eyes scanned Nan Hua as he furrowed his eyebrows. “Did you not sleep well, Hua’er?”
Not sleep well?
Nan Hua blinked. She asked the two servant girls not to put on too much makeup on her because she knew that she mostly had a lot of exercise. As a result, it was often a bit clearer for someone to notice when she didn’t sleep well.
“Are you worried about Grandfather, Hua’er?” Feng Ao Kuai asked, averting their attention.
“Ridiculous, I’m all healthy!” Old Master Nan chided. The children were all eating in his place just because they were worried about him. He was not stupid as he could definitely see it very clearly that they didn’t want to leave his side in case something happened.
Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes. “Grandfather, do you need us to call Doctor Liu?”
“No!”
Nan Luo then pushed the dishes closer to Nan Hua. “In that case, Hua’er, eat a lot. You have to stay healthy, alright?”
“Mhm.”
Nan Hua silently started to eat. She knew very well that it would be hard for anyone to see that she was not sleeping well last night. To be exact, it was not like she was not sleeping well but she had a mission last night that cut off her sleeping time.
Only those who were paying close attention to her would definitely know the faint details that was easy to miss.
“I heard the mess outside. I didn’t expect there will be an assassination case in the middle of Capital City like this,” Feng Ao Si commented. He thought that the Capital City would be the safest, but it seemed that it was not completely true.
“It’s Official Du.” Feng Ao Kuai was still eating.
He naturally had guessed that Nan Hua might be behind this assassination, but he didn’t want to talk about it. Especially not to his older brother who had such a foul mouth. Who knew how many people would hear about this matter if he knew about it?
Feng Ao Kuai simply didn’t trust his older brother.
“Oh? I heard that his work hasn’t been done properly and that someone asked for assassins from Dark Moon Organization.” Nan Luo clicked his tongue. He was only short of saying ‘serve him right.’
Old Master Nan’s eyes gleamed a bit. He turned to look at Nan Hua but he could see that she was eating calmly without even caring in the slightest bit. It was as if the topic didn’t have any relation to her.
Inside his heart, he felt warmth. His son was so useless while his daughter was too weak.
They couldn’t do anything.
But Nan Hua, who was still growing up and supposedly to be protected, was the one who stepped forward. His old heart felt that he was not worthy of his granddaughter doing so much to him.
They all finished eating soon and called Doctor Liu to come. Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si were kicked out to be sent training once more. Only Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Hua were left in the quarter.
“Grandfather, I haven’t told you yesterday but Doctor Liu is now my master,” Nan Hua said softly.
Old Master Nan’s body suddenly turned stiff. He looked at his granddaughter in bewilderment. “Hua’er, did you have talent to be a doctor?”
He knew very well that the stingy old Doctor Liu would not just take any random people to be his disciple. He was known to be very strict towards lesson and anyone who could gain recognition from him were all people who have great talent. Even if they might not look like that, after a few years not a single one of them become failure.
It was clear that Traveling Doctor Liu paid close attention to their ability.
Nan Hua tilted her head. “It should be alright, I think.”
She had lived for 17 or so years in the modern world and during that time, she had learned a lot of medicine. While many couldn’t be used, she did have the basic foundation to be learning medicine from Traveling Doctor Liu.
Though, she couldn’t guarantee that she would be as good as other prodigy.
Old Master Nan’s lips twitched.
When Traveling Doctor Liu came in, the sight that greeted him was Old Master Nan who was glaring at him as if wanting to take a piece out of him. Seeing that, he was not flustered in the slightest bit as he smirked slightly. “Old Man Nan, are you unhappy?”
“I heard that Hua’er is now your disciple?”
“Oh?”
Traveling Doctor Liu looked at the obedient girl at the side and he smirked. “Your granddaughter has good basic knowledge about medicine.. For me, it’s such a waste if she didn’t become my disciple. Do you have any objection, Old Man Nan?”
