Nan Hua didn't know what her servant was thinking because in her opinion, this was not that weird. In the modern world, it was very common for couples to pat head, hold hands, or something like that and even though she didn't think of herself that way with Long Qian Xing, he was her fiancé.
So, it should be fine?
She didn't have any experience and chose to just let Long Qian Xing took the lead. In any case, she didn't have the original Nan Hua's memory, so everything is new in her opinion.
"I'm here to visit Old Madam Long," Nan Hua responded. Based on what Long Xu Nian said, she came here to visit Long Qian Xing's grandmother. She might be sick since the servant girl said that Nan Hua is in her mourning period but still came here.
There was this incident early in the novel if she was not wrong but it was only mentioned briefly. Long Qian Xing returned late to the palace because he helped his fiancée from his sister's bullying in the Long Family when the fiancée visited his sick grandmother. There was no other explanation.
Well, it was wuxia novel and not a palace intrigue novel, so it was not weird that it would solely focus on the main character.
Long Qian Xing sighed. He pinched Nan Hua's cheek lightly, thinking of how soft it is. This little girl was really careless.
"Don't come here when I'm away. Long Xu Nian didn't like you." When he was not in front of his older sister, Long Qian Xing would not call Long Xu Nian as Jie Jie. It was clear that he disliked his own sister, probably even to the point of hatred.
Long Qian Xing nodded and released his hand. At this moment, the servant girl suddenly moved forward. "Young Master Long, please keep your distance. It would not be good if rumors go around."
"You are…?" Long Qian Xing furrowed his brows, feeling that the ancient world's rules were exceedingly complicated.
"This one is Xiao Yun, Miss Nan's personal servant girl," The girl, Xiao Yun, replied softly.
"There's no need to worry, there's no one around here."
Xiao Yun was speechless. Even if there was no one around here, it would still not be good if rumors were to go around! Ah, why is this young master so hard to understand? They might be young now but if they were a bit older, they would be criticized for their behavior today!
She turned to look at her own Miss to help but saw Nan Hua was looking forward with a calm gaze.
Miss! Why are you so silent ah?
The three of them reached the gate. Long Qian Xing noticed the carriage at the front and looked at Nan Hua. "Be careful on your way home, Miss Nan."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Young Master Long." Nan Hua curtsied clumsily and then headed to the carriage. She didn't know much about the etiquette and only knew a little bit, so her movement was not that good. Xiao Yun followed behind Nan Hua after she also bowed to Long Qian Xing.
Watching Nan Hua walked away, Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. From what he remembered, the little girl had good etiquette even though her talent in other areas were a bit… lacking. Did his sister make things difficult for the little girl today?
Long Qian Xing sighed and shook his head lightly. In this era, it was really hard to guess what the women were thinking.
"Young Master, it's time to return to the palace," a servant came and bowed down.
"Go to the palace." Long Qian Xing waved his hand. Even though Nan Hua was a bit different today, he only noticed her a little bit since she was similar to his niece in his previous world. There were a lot of other matters that occupied his mind right now.
Nan Hua sat in the carriage, looking around at the luxurious carriage while sorting the information she knew about Nan Family from the novel. Nan Family was led by her father, who was an important minister in the palace. His rank was high but it was never specified clearly in the novel.
However, Nan Hua didn't live with her father because her own mother had some conflict with him. Instead, she lived with her grandfather, who was a great general, and had only returned back to the Capital City not long ago.
"Miss, we've arrived."
Nan Hua nodded and alighted down the carriage. The residence was large and there were several guards standing guard. From the way it looked like, it really lived up to its name as the residence for a great general.
Lowering her eyes, Nan Hua simply walked towards the gate. The guards already knew her and naturally didn't hesitate to open the gate and let her in.
The moment Nan Hua stepped in, she could clearly sense the orderly atmosphere. The servants were all working carefully, making sure that they didn't make any mistake. When they saw Nan Hua, everyone made way and bowed down.
They all acted respectful.
'Such a strong oppressive atmosphere.'
Nan Hua was clear that the only reason why the servants could be this orderly was because the master was ruthless. Her grandfather must be a very strict person. She really wondered how he would look like.
"Hua'er! You've returned?" A childish voice sounded from the residence before a young boy around the same age as her rushed out.
The boy had round face, which slightly flushed red. Wearing a blue brocade robe, he looked both cute and handsome. His dark obsidian eyes lit up from the moment he saw Nan Hua.
"Luo," Nan Hua greeted. This is her twin brother in this world, Nan Luo.
Ignoring etiquette, Nan Luo rushed in and hugged Nan Hua. The servants were flustered but they saw Nan Hua was calm as she stroked her brother's back. Even though Nan Hua herself was not comfortable with it, Nan Luo was her family member, so she should not act alienated.
"I was so worried about you that the witch will try to skin you alive again."
"Nan Luo!" a voice filled with warning came from the back.
