Hai Fa Nie acted as if she couldn''t see that the other party hated her with passion as she smiled kindly. "Would you like to sit here, First Miss Shangguan?"


    "The table is already full. I''m afraid that I can''t bear to ask anyone to go." Shangguan Die snorted. Her eyesnded on Nan Hua, who was staying still and lowered her head. A gleam appeared within her eyes.


    Today, Shangguan Die was also dressed up splendidly. Wearing bright pink clothes, she would surely attract attention no matter where she goes. If not because red color was for the Imperial Family, she might have long wear red clothes in order to showcase how happy and noble she was.


    From the moment she came here, there were many youngdies who were already looking in her direction.


    "How unfortunate, I thought that First Miss Shangguan would want to talk with us since many of us are of simr age." Hai Fa Nie sighed as if she was truly disappointed.


    Both Hai Fa Nie and Shangguan Die were already 14 years old. In a few more months they would turn 15 and then married away to their respective fiancé. If Nan Hua was not wrong, both of them were already engaged to a young master from other families.


    She didn''t remember everything.


    "First Miss Nan, would you kindly move a bit so that I can speak with Fourth Miss Hai?" Shangguan Die asked righteously. There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth as if she was mocking her.


    Nan Hua narrowed her eyes. She stood up. "Please take a seat, First Miss Shangguan. I''m nning to move to another table."


    "Many thanks, First Miss Nan."


    Nan Hua nodded then moved to another table. She didn''t understand why these girls were always trying to create trouble left and right. It was as if they couldn''t feel satisfied unless they had already made trouble.


    Shangguan Die sat down then started to talk with Hai Fa Nie. The two of them continued to throw shades to each other.


    Even watching them made one feel tired.


    "First Miss Nan, would you like to fill your cup?" the empty seat beside her was soon filled and faint voice sounded near her.


    Nan Hua narrowed her eyes as she looked at the young girl in front of her. She had simr countenance with Shangguan Die, but her beauty was clearly downyed and looked worse offpared to Shangguan Die. Of course, withoutparison, she would have long been known as the prettiest in Shangguan Family.


    "Second Miss Shangguan is too polite. I can''t possibly let you do that." Nan Hua shook her head. Those who served other people food were usually the concubines to the main wife or daughter inw to mother inw. There was no precedent of other youngdies who would serve another youngdy.


    Second Miss Shangguan, Shangguan Mi, merely smiled when she heard Nan Hua''s rejection. She took the teacup and poured tea for herself elegantly. Her movement was clearly practiced as if she had done so for thousands of times.


    For a young girl at the mere age of 12, her action showed her talent.


    "First Young Miss Nan, would you like to help me out?" Shangguan Mi asked in low voice as she carefully served tea for herself.


    Nan Hua''s eyes shed when she heard what Shangguan Mi said. It seemed that Shangguan Mi was already impatient as Shangguan Die would turn 15 soon and get married away in a few more months. If she had to wait until Shangguan Die got married, it was clear that she wouldn''t be able to touch the other party.


    It seemed that even in such important event, there were still some people who wanted to scheme against others.


    "Second Miss Shangguan, I''m afraid that I can''t be of help."


    It was a rejection.


    Shangguan Mi''s eyes shed as she looked at Nan Hua in front of her. The dark obsidian eyes reflected nothing but calmness that didn''t suit her age. If one didn''t know that the young girl was merely 10 years old, they would never believe that such a young girl could possibly wield that kind of eyes.


    "How unfortunate. I thought you''re the same as me, First Miss Nan. I would be able to be of help to you too." Shangguan Mi nudged her chin towards one direction.


    There was no need for Nan Hua to turn her head as she knew that Shangguan Mi was pointing at Nan Xin and Concubine Qu. It was clear that Shangguan Mi was proposing coboration for the two of them so that they would be able to achieve their goal.


    However, Nan Hua didn''t want it.


    "Thank you very much for your consideration, Second Miss Shangguan. I''m not worthy to have someone like you help me settle my problems." Nan Hua sipped her tea calmly.


    Shangguan Mi''s eyes shed before she stood up and walked away. As she passed by Nan Hua, her words sounded harsher. "In that case, I wish you the best, First Miss Nan."


    Nan Hua didn''t reply.


    There was no need to. She knew very well that if she rejected Shangguan Mi, the other party would be hostile against her. However, Nan Hua didn''t have any bad blood with Shangguan Die aside from the other party acting a bit childish.


    For someone like her, it was a harmless attack that couldn''t even wound her in the slightest bit.


    If she had wanted to destroy Shangguan Die, she would not need Shangguan Mi.


    ''Another one who wants a piece of me.''


    Nan Hua''s dark obsidian eyes swept the hall calmly and sighed internally. How could she not know that those who were getting close to her were all only trying to take advantage of Nan Family.


    Right now, most of those who had interacted with her would have bad intention against her.


    Oh well, it didn''t matter.


    She would take care of them if they tried to make things difficult to her.
