Chapter 2686
Mu Yan nodded and kept the bamboo scroll as she followed Xiao Yun to deliver lunch to Nan Hua.
After Long Ai Ning and Nan Si played around in the kitchen for a bit, they still finished the food in time. To be exact, Long Ai Ning finished cooking in time while Nan Si was watching from the side.
The two of them stopped discussing this matter and simply delivered it to Nan Hua. Even if they have some suspicion or anything like that, they couldn’t really do anything without Nan Hua’s order.
After all, they were still Nan Hua’s maidservants.
Nan Hua looked at the list of the gifts sent to her and her eyebrows arched. “It seems that the Xiao Family is truly divided.”
Long Qian Xing looked at the letter and his eyes narrowed. He didn’t like the current situation of the Xiao Family. They used to be impartial and simply loyal to the Imperial Family, which was really good. But now, they were separated and some people have their own minds.
It was really annoying.
He could only hope that Emperor Yang Zhou would not have headache when dealing with these people from the Xiao Family. Because he was sure that it wouldn’t be easy to deal with any of them.
“Do you want to respond?” Long Qian Xing asked when he saw this list. It was unpleasant to think that these people were thinking of harming them.
“No.” Nan Hua put down the bamboo scrolls. “No one but the maidservants would know what they sent as gifts as long as it’s not publicized. It’ll be too childish to respond to this kind of thing.”
And she could guess that this would be what the other party wanted.
How could she possibly do that?
“Alright.” Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua helplessly and then said, “With the Long Family’s status, you don’t have to pay attention to this kind of thing.”
They couldn’t do anything openly.
Unless they sent assassins to their place, Long Qian Xing didn’t think that it was worth their time to play with them. It would only be boring and tiring.
Nan Hua nodded. “They wouldn’t dare to do anything.”
Even though some people in the Xiao Family might be dissatisfied with the Long Family, they would not dare to do anything for real. At least, the Xiao Family in the past would not.
Because it was clear that they would not do anything that could possibly harm their family. To be a big family that lasted for so many years, how could they stupidly do things that was not beneficial to them?
It would be foolish.
The Nan Family had only risen through Old Master Nan’s effort, which was why they were only a small family. So small that it could hardly be a threat and the emperors didn’t care even if they have some power.
Because after the death of the senior member, there would only be one descendant who would continue the lineage.
What can one person do?
The connection of the Nan Family was not very big and Emperor Yang Zhou didn’t care too much.
Of course, this was under the premise that he didn’t know Nan Hua is the leader of the Dark Moon Organization. That organization had already caused a lot of troubles for many kingdoms during the time when they were very active.
Now that the Dark Moon Organization had been disbanded, not many people ever heard their name again.
Nan Hua also had no intention to provoke Emperor Yang Zhou.
It was good that neither side came to find each other.
But the Long Family was different.
In Cheng City, there was only one Old Madam Long and Long Qian Xing, but the Long Family itself was actually a bit family. The rest of the Long Family didn’t stay in Cheng City for their development in the past and instead stayed in other cities.
They didn’t have much contact with each other and this was done deliberately by each and every single one of them.
But should they come…
There might be trouble in the future.
Even though there was not much contact with each other, it was clear that Great General Long and General Xing’s reputation on the battlefield still helped these people indirectly. Their career was relatively smooth and no one dared to talk back to them.
Unless they did something excessive, they would have a relatively smooth sailing life.
“But there’s nothing wrong with investigating them,” Nan Hua said calmly.
The chance was low but it was not like there was none at all. It was just that if they were truly the one who sent the assassins to the Long Family Residence, then they must be very stupid.
It was too easy for others to suspect them when their actions were so blatant like this.
But Nan Hua had no comment about their way of using their IQ.
“Yes.” Long Qian Xing nodded and asked, “Do you need my help?”
“I think both of us have a lot of people in Cheng City to use,” Nan Hua said quietly.
The two of them came from Cheng City. Born and raised in the same city and started their career from the people in Cheng City.
If they said that they didn’t have anyone in this city…
That would be unbelievable.
Long Qian Xing chuckled. “That’s true. But if you need help, you can freely ask and I’ll definitely help you out.”
“I know.” Nan Hua nodded in response.
After discussing the Xiao Family, the two of them ate their lunch and then their little daughter woke up again. Seeing the little girl, Nan Hua felt helpless and could only help to feed the baby girl.
It seemed that the existence of a baby meant that she might not have a proper sleeping schedule in the future.
Every few incense stick of time, this baby girl will wake up and disturb them.
It was a bit annoying.
But what could they do?
This is their children.
