He didn't have the right to criticize his master. Even then, he knew very well that what Old Master Nan said was the truth from the bottom of his heart. It was something that had bothered him so much.Both his son and daughter couldn't choose what they wanted because Old Master Nan kept on covering for them. In the end, his son even made him so angry that he wished to disown the other party.For his grandchildren, he didn't wish to repeat the same mistake ever again."Would this much of freedom be alright, Master?""I'm sure that Hua'er will be fine. If she ever needs help, I'll be backing her up, ready to help her up anytime she needs it." Old Master Nan smiled ruefully. "But I'll let her do as she wished and never try to stop her from doing what she wants. I'll let her be free so that she could show her brilliance and not be contained."Hou Lin could detect the pride from within Old Master Nan's tone. At the same time, he could sense deep sadness that was hard to conceal."Master? A

The officials there were all acting polite and greeted Old Master Nan along with the others. This time, neither one of the three young masters dared to neglect their etiquette lessons. It was fine when they were alone but if it was outside… their grandfather would spank them even if their mother let it be.Nan Hua was staying at the back with Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai on her left and right. Behind her, Feng Ao Si was looking at her with both fear and apprehension. He looked like a lost puppy as he kept on watching Nan Hua every few seconds.Even though Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai noticed his gaze, they didn't even try to allow him to get close to Nan Hua."General Nan, this place is also very vast. Do you want to look around?" the official asked.Old Master Nan really wished to show his fist and blew them all back, telling them how useless it was for him to do that. In the end, he sighed. "I feel rather tired. I think I'll return first.""Ah, alright.""Thank you for visiting us in your b

Dream?Zhang Dan Shui was taken aback. He looked at his mother in confusion as he recalled the days of his youth. Back then, he studied hard because he wanted to become an official and threw those who mocked him back.But now that he was already an official, he found out that those people still continued to mock him.It was as if he had to stand at the highest position to make sure that they wouldn't have any say in his life anymore. He was annoyed, especially because he kept on being dragged down by his younger brother. It was to the point that even achieving better result was already hard enough."I want you to live well, Mother." Zhang Dan Shui was tired of having his mother suffer in Zhang Family Residence. He wanted to see his mother smile and talk to him cheerfully just like in the past.Seeing her wooden expression as she tried to hold back was hard.Madam Pei shook her head. "You shouldn't be too hard on yourself.""Mother.""I'll be fine wherever you want me to be. What's imp

The small group didn't stay outside for long as they returned not long afterwards. They rested for the day and the next day, Old Master Nan led them out to leave the city. It has been some time and they should go to visit other cities nearby.Nan Luo looked at the go board inside the carriage and his lips twitched. "You're going to play Go all the time?""Why not?" Feng Ao Kuai asked back. He put his piece on the board and asked calmly.This time, Nan Luo was inside the carriage because he didn't want to torture his butt by riding a horse. He felt that it would be better to stay inside the carriage for the time being while Feng Ao Si was controlling the horse at the front."Won't you get bored?" Nan Luo asked carefully."No."Nan Hua had placed the next piece, which caused Feng Ao Kuai to have to be more focused than ever. He had long known that Nan Hua was an extremely tough opponent, so he didn't dare to relax in the slightest bit."Ugh…" Nan Luo could see that Nan Hua was also look

He had great skill for trading and liked to accumulate wealth in order to be able to traverse between kingdoms freely.That way, he wouldn't be involved with any wars and instead be protected.Everyone only saw him as a merchant who were moved by the best profit he could get. He would not side with anyone, so they treated him as their bargaining chip and traded for what they needed.
