<h4>Chapter 452 Performance</h4>


    Hearing the name, a light shed within Princess Hu''s eyes. "Is that true?"


    "I have heard simr things."


    "First Young Miss Nan hadn''t been in the Capital City for the past few years."


    "From what I heard, she had been staying in Wind City for the past few years, Your Highness."


    Wind City?


    Nan Hua knew that the only person who would think that she was in Wind City would be that stupid Nan Xin. She was actually staying in Han Zhong City, but it was considered as a secret because her grandfather didn''t exactly spread the news. They only knew that she departed from the Capital City to Wind City.


    Only a few others who heard from her knew that she eventually went to Han Zhong City from Wind City.


    "Is that so? I didn''t know that First Young Miss Nan is frail too." Princess Hu chuckled. Her gaze swept the crowd in front of her as she added softly, "Since First Young Miss Nan had returned to the Capital City, I''m sure that you''re here, right? Is it true that Wind City is better to recuperate for health?"


    Shangguan Die furrowed her eyebrows when she heard that question. Even when she was arguing with Princess Yue back then, the two of them never purposely targeted someone so tantly like this.


    Was there something between Princess Hu and Nan Hua?


    Nan Hua slowly stood up and curtsied. "Replying to Your Highness, this one go to Wind City because of my aunt''s condition and not my health condition. She was weak because of birthing her third child."


    "Ah, Third Young Master Feng."


    "Right, I heard that General Feng had third son, so Madam Feng was First Young Miss Nan''s Aunt."


    The girls went into a flurry of gossips as they talked to their close friends.


    Princess Hu pursed her lips, seemingly dissatisfied. She thought that she could trap Nan Hua, but the rumors were really unreliable.


    "Are you saying that the girls are spreading false news?"


    Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "There are a lot of rumors in the Capital City. Who can guarantee that each of them are the truth?"


    She was replying to the matter and yet not at the same time.


    Hearing her answer, Shangguan Die nearly burst intoughter, forgetting her deep seated grudge with Shangguan Mi. Back then, she thought that Nan Hua was a rather timid and ordinary youngdy.


    Really.


    She and Princess Yue were fooled big time by this youngdy.


    Princess Hu furrowed her eyebrows as her face darkened. The other youngdies were a bit curious as to why Princess Hu seemed to hate Nan Hua so much, but they were not tactless enough to mention it outright.


    They couldn''t offend the Imperial Family and neither could they offend Nan Family.


    So they would rather be the spectator.


    "First Young Miss Nan is quite smart."


    "Many thanks for Your Highness'' praise."


    Nan Xin''s lips twitched as her grip on her clothes grew tighter. Listening to their conversation, she felt that her sister was really troublesome. When Nan Hua enter Nan Family Residenceter on, she had to make sure that she would put her in ce!


    There was no way she would allow Nan Hua roam freely there!


    Hmph!


    "First Young Miss Nan hasn''t been in the Capital City. Did you study well during your time in Wind City?"


    Facing that question, Nan Hua was calm. "Many thanks for your concern, Your Highness. My Aunt is good at teaching and naturally taught me some of them. However, my ability iscking since I''m not a good student."


    This way, Nan Hua would be able to get away if she couldn''t give satisfied performance should Princess Hu asked for it.


    If she had gone full of confidence, she would only get mocking from others.


    If she was too humble, it would only make others scoff at her and felt that she was trying to make them look bad when it was proven that her skill was not that bad.


    Only by putting herself average would she avoid those.


    Princess Hu''s lips trembled when she heard the wless response from Nan Hua. She couldn''t bring herself to continue rebuking Nan Hua when there was really nothing that was worthy being scrutinized about.


    It was very vexing.


    "In that case, can youe here and help me pour some tea? I presume your skill is not bad, right First Young Miss Nan?" Princess Hu asked and pointed at the tea set in front of her.


    Nan Hua was calm as she turned to walk around. There were a lot ofdies in front of her because she had purposely picked the seat near the edge, where there were not many people. Only some people who hadn''t gotten the seat would be standing over there.


    Su Ai Yuan''s eyes shed when she saw Nan Hua getting closer to them. She suddenly stepped forward and tried to pull Nan Hua to her direction.


    Her hand grabbed onto Nan Hua''s belt as she pulled in the direction of theke.


    Nan Hua''s eyes was calm. Her finger moved to stop Su Ai Yuan''s hand from being able to hold her belt firmly by pressing the correct upoint, then she pushed Su Ai Yuan in the direction of Shangguan Mi.


    Everything happened in a split second.


    "Aaaaaaa!"


    What the others could see was that Su Ai Yuan suddenly stepped forward but lose her footing and fell backwards. Behind her was Shangguan Mi, who was standing there unguarded.


    Su Ai Yuan bumped to her and Shangguan Mi lose her bnce. Beside her, Shangguan Die quickly acted as if she wanted to grab onto Shangguan Mi, but ended up losing her own bnce.


    "Ah, Sister, what are you doing…?" Shangguan Die''s voice sounded like she was being pulled.


    In the next moment, all they could hear was the sound of water.


    SPLASH!


    "First Young Miss Shangguan and Second Young Miss Shangguan fell to the water!"
