Chapter 2470 Xiao Family Banquet


    Since Nan Hua didn''t exactly participate in the battle, she has been honing her etiquette again. After all, she had to make sure her subconscious movements would not reveal any ws of her days as the general on the battlefield. For Nan Hua, acting has always been easy.


    Living a pampered life in the Long Family Residence didn''t really change some things that had been carved on the bones. Nan Hua dressed up in light blue dress and followed the maidservants to the carriage, heading towards the Xiao Family Residence. Being one of the two grand duke family in Fei Yan Kingdom, their residence could be said to be one of the best here. It was really big and could amodate a lot of people. Thinking that the Xiao Family had basically split up, this ce looked a bit too big for the few people who lived inside.


    But Nan Hua paid no heed to that.


    She looked to the front and saw First Madam Xiao, the one who made the banquet today. She was also Empress Xiao''s mother.


    The first Xiao Family only have two daughters. The first daughter was married away to an official while the second daughter was the current empress. Aside from these two, there were three sons, all of whom be officials. @@novelbin@@


    They all have different ranks, though. "Young Madam Long," First Madam Xiao smiled when she saw Nan Hua. "Thank you foring today."


    "It''s my pleasure to be here, First Madam Xiao," Nan Hua replied politely with a curtsy.


    "Follow me." First Madam Xiao smiled and then lead Nan Hua inside. As the host, she had to entertain these people who came but her priority was naturally Nan Hua, who had the highest status among many women who came. After all, Old Madam Long couldn''te and the only woman from the Nan Family with highest status is Nan Hua.


    No one in Cheng City didn''t know how much Old Master Nan valued his granddaughter. The turmoil he made in Cheng City many years ago, isn''t it all for his granddaughter?


    So First Madam Xiao choose to apany Nan Hua first.


    "It has been a while since you have been here and there are a few new type of dishes that be famous in Cheng City…"


    Nan Hua blinked her eyes.


    She could clearly feel the warmth from First Madam Xiao to her. It seemed as if the other party wanted to curry favor with her, yet they still somewhat restrained their actions and was unwilling to make things hard for her.

    But since the other party was not hostile, Nan Hua choose to entertain them. There were also many other women who came and for the first time, Nan Hua met with Song Chuan''s wife. She was older than Nan Hua and was already the mother of two children.


    After talking about food, they all had some gossips with each other.


    One of them was about the Shangguan Family.


    "Have you heard about the Shangguan Family? I heard that they''reing back to Cheng City."


    Coming back?


    Nan Hua, who was tasting the food in front of her, was stunned when she heard this. The Shangguan Family had long been scattered after various incidents that happened to their family.


    The oldest son, who used to be a general of Fei Yang Kingdom, choose to retire early and lived in secluded ce.


    She had heard that it was because his wife and child was killed in the war.


    The action of Shi Long Kingdom truly made many people angry. They even dragged the innocents into the war and caused so many tragedies. It was also because they tried to drag her cousin into the war that Nan Hua was really angry at that time. After that, Shangguan Xian never stayed in Cheng City anymore. Nan Hua knew that Shangguan Yu had yed some tricks so that Shangguan Xiao''s family were save. But she didn''t know the exact details of what he did.


    What she knew was that Shangguan Xian couldn''t possibly return to Cheng City. As for Shangguan Yu…


    Unless he wanted to die, he would never return to Cheng City or any other big cities. He was basically ''exiled'' in a faraway location, unable to return again in her entire life even if she wanted to. Nan Hua knew what he was doing, but she didn''t have any intention to pay him a visit.


    After all, she was not close to him and didn''t have any intersection with him in the past. There was no need for her to get close intentionally when she had no business with him.


    The other two people from the Shangguan Family would be Shangguan Xiao and Shangguan Die.


    Shangguan Die''s life and death remained a mystery for most people. They only knew that she left and disappeared, nevering out noring back anymore.


    As for Shangguan Xiao…


    He was already a general of Fei Yang Kingdom, busy at the southeast area to deal with the bandits and rebels on those ces. So far, there didn''t seem to be any news about himing to Cheng City.


    "Who wille back?" One of the nobledies asked curiously.


    "It''s General Shangguan, Shangguan Xiao." The other smiled and then said, "I heard that he''sing back to get married. The Shangguan Family could only rely on him to continue their bloodline, so he had toe back."


    The other women nodded thoughtfully.


    These people were all married women and they didn''t have so many taboos when talking about some things.


    Of course, they would not cross the lines.


    There was a limit to what they could talk about.


    "Does the Xiao Family wants to try? I heard that your nieces are still young and unmarried?"


    "How about the Su Family instead? They seem to be doing well."


    "The Song Family…"


    "No, they''re only boys who are still too young in my family. How about the Xie Family instead…"


    Nan Hua: "…" How did it turn into matchmaking session?
