<h4>Chapter 1625 Long Family Residence</h4>


    General Jun?


    Prime Minister Lan blinked his eyes and looked to one direction. The few shadow guards who were around shook their heads.


    "Replying to His Majesty, the shadow guards failed to find her trace."


    Emperor Yang Zhou: "…"


    He looked at these shadow guards that were protecting him and for the first time, he felt that they were quite useless.


    But this also meant that Nan Hua had a high martial arts and thus able to escape from their detection. He shook his head and waved his hand. "Help me read and sort these."


    Just leave those two alone for now. There was nothing important that he needed Long Qian Xing''s help right now. Though, that young man would be sent to the frontline again soon.


    For now, it would be better for him to focus on the pile of works that was still backlogging in front of him.


    "Yes, Your Majesty."


    …


    <Long Family Residence>


    After heading back from the pce, Long Qian Xing headed straight back to his family residence. He looked at the steward in front of him who didn''t even let him enter the residence.


    "Young Master, Old Madam gave clear instruction that Young Master is not allowed to enter without Young Miss Nan," the steward ryed the message while looking at Long Qian Xing with a look of pity.


    Long Qian Xing''s lips twitched.


    He knew very well that he would have the lowest position whenever Nan Hua was mentioned. However, for him to not be able to enter without her…


    Just whose grandmother is Old Madam Long?


    Long Qian Xing rubbed his forehead with a helpless smile. Facing this unreasonable grandmother of his, he really couldn''t do anything to but to follow her whim.


    "Tell her that I''ll bring her inside, but I need to enter the residence first."


    "Yes, Young Master."


    After waiting for a quarter of incense stick of time, Long Qian Xing was finally allowed to enter. He sighed deeply at his grandmother''s childish behavior but said nothing.


    Anyway, he had no intention to quarrel with an elder.


    As the junior, he had to respect his elders.


    "Grandmother." Long Qian Xing saw his grandmother, sitting on a long chair in front of a courtyard.


    Old Madam Long snorted. "You better not lie to me. I miss my granddaughter inw!"


    Long Qian Xing looked at his grandmother speechlessly. He felt that the word ''inw'' had to be erased when his grandmother sees Nan Hua. Her attitude seemed to be looking forward for her granddaughter while he''s the grandson inw.


    "She''ll be here soon."


    "How soon is that soon?"


    Long Qian Xing looked at the backyard and narrowed his eyes. There was no disturbance, but he knew that Nan Hua said she woulde from that direction. He believed Nan Hua and had seen her action when she was on the battlefield.


    Sneaking into other people''s residence while curbing her sense of presence was clearly something that she could do.


    Long Family Residence was notpletely impregnatable.


    It was a fact that Long Qian Xing knew.


    "Would you dismiss the servants, Grandmother?"


    Old Madam Long arched her eyebrows but still waved her hand to dismiss the servant. She knew that her grandson should have a reason why he didn''t want anyone to know when they were meeting Nan Hua.


    "You better brought her here or I''ll sent you away again tomorrow." Old Madam Long snorted in annoyance. She wanted to see Nan Hua!


    Long Qian Xing looked at his grandmother helplessly.


    Thankfully, the two of them didn''t need to wait for long.


    Tep.


    There was a faint footsteps and Nan Hua walked from the side gate. There were no servants there because Long Qian Xing had chased the others away. Right now, only Nan Hua stood there and curtsied when she saw the two of them.


    "Grandmother, Brother Long."


    "Hua''er! Come here, child!" Old Madam Long was pleasantly surprised when she saw Nan Hua. She hadn''t seen this littless for so many years and now Nan Hua had grown up, no longer looked so young.


    She had be a properdy.


    Nan Hua smiled and stepped forward, stopping in front of Old Madam Long. "Hua''er apologized for making Grandmother worry."


    "Silly kid. If there''s anything that you need to do, you can just throw everything to this brat. He had nothing to do anyway."


    Long Qian Xing: "…" as a general, how could there be nothing to do?


    But looking at his grandmother who was feeling distressed, he said nothing. If it was possible, he himself also wished for Nan Hua not to bet with her life on the frontline and just stay at the back.


    But since she herself wished to participate on the battlefield, he could only amodate and support her as much as possible. Long Qian Xing didn''t want to restrain Nan Hua because he wished for her to be happy and to do what she wanted.


    Nan Hua looked at Old Madam Long and showed a reassuring smile. "Don''t worry, I''m doing well on the frontline, Grandmother."


    Old Madam Long looked at Nan Hua nkly. She had gotten used to see Nan Hua''s rtively cold and indifferent face. But seeing her smile, she felt that it was an expression that suited Nan Hua more than her usual indifference.


    Even though the frontline was bitter and filled with hardship, it was the ce where Nan Hua was free and didn''t need to be restrained.


    With that thought, Old Madam Long also smiled. "Alright, but you have to take good care of yourself. If there''s anything that you can''t do, you can go and ask for help from Qian Xing. This brat has nothing good but at least, he''s already a general…"


    Nan Hua listened to Old Madam Long nagging and responded appropriately.


    Long Qian Xing waited at the side and served these two tea. He sighed as he felt that his status was indeed the lowest in the family.
