Chapter 6 - Caring Grandfather (2)"Yes, Hua'er? Do you suffer any grievances?" Old Master Nan asked worriedly.
A cup appeared on Nan Hua's hand. She had smuggled it away without the servants noticed. Even though her body was weak, sneaking a cup was still possible. She would need to train more for other things, though.
"Is this enough for evidence?" Nan Hua asked slowly.
Old Master Nan was stunned. He took the tea cup and noticed that there was remains inside. The smell of herbs was faintly mixed with something else. His eyes narrowed.
"Tong, investigate the content."
"Yes, Old Master." A servant stepped forward and took the cup. From his clothes, Nan Hua could conclude that he was the one with the highest position in this residence among the servants.
"Did she poison you, sister?" Nan Luo's eyes darkened. "I'll head to the academy and find that Long young master…."

"But…"
"They're different." Nan Hua squinted her eyes. She could sense that the two siblings were very different from each other. Besides, Long Qian Xing was her body's fiancé and she had no intention of making things difficult for him.
Nan Luo clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Nan Hua then looked at her grandfather once more. Her dark obsidian eyes could clearly see the genuine concern and also the old man's determination to seek redress for her. For someone who used to be alone, it was strange to see this.
"Is the cup enough, Grandpa?"
"Unfortunately, no." Old Master Nan furrowed his brows. If one measly cup was enough to bring down Long Xu Nian, she would have already been in trouble since a long time ago. Unfortunately, things were not that simple.
"I see." Nan Hua's eyes flashed. It seemed that she would only had her chance if that Long Xu Nian tried to create trouble again. She didn't like to create trouble for others but if others wanted to create trouble for her, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
What she needed right now was to familiarize herself with this world's law and way of things.
She didn't want to recklessly dug her early grave.
Patient.
It was one of the most important thing that she had learned since very young. She didn't lack patience at all.
"Hua'er, are you tired?" Old Master Nan asked in soft tone when he saw her looking straight ahead. He proceeded to put her down before crouching in front of his granddaughter so that he could see her face directly. Their difference in built was really big, making it hard for him to see his grandchildren's face directly.
Now that he was on the same eye level as his granddaughter, he could see directly at her dark obsidian eyes. Just like before, it was as cold as ever. However, he couldn't help but think that there was something different.
"Mhm." Nan Hua still needed to figure out more about this world. Resting would be pretty good.
"Xiao Yun, Bai Yin, take the young miss back to her quarter."

These two were Nan Hua's servant girls. When she visited Long Family residence, she only brought Xiao Yun while Bai Yin stayed in the residence.
Old Master Nan watched his granddaughter and felt a bit heartache. Ever since his daughter in law's death not long ago, Nan Hua had grown even colder than before. It was to the point that he felt the little girl was no longer the same.
"Grandpa, did that Long girl really bully sister?" Nan Luo's eyes darkened. All of his playful gesture disappeared into the smoke. He would only act cute when he was in front of his twin sister.
Old Master Nan messed up his grandson's hair. "Even if she did, we can't do anything openly. Don't worry, I will never let my granddaughter suffer grievances."
"Tell me if I can do anything."
"You?" Old Master Nan's eyes narrowed. "Go back inside and finish your copy or you won't have dinner."
"Noooo! Grandpa, those words are hell! Anything but that, akh!"
"You insolent brat, come over here! See how I spank your butt!"
"Helppp!"
