Chapter 175 - A Visit
Nanglong family residence
"Soujin…" Qin Shie looks towards her son with helplessness. She beckoned the servant to help lift the young man up.
Ever since the incident with Jun Min, Soujin had been issuing countless order to his men. They are doing this and that, but he didn't tell anyone the purpose of his move. Then, at night, he secretly drinks a lot of wine to the point he's drunk.
This is also the reason why he didn't care about that move from Lan Gao Ya. He was busy thinking about other things and didn't care about that girl. She can escape and he won't do anything about it. Besides, what the emperor response mattered to him?
Nanglong Souka looks from behind and shakes his head slightly. He can stop Soujin, but for what? If the one that died in that way were his old comrade, he might make an even more extreme move. It's only because the young man still needs to hold himself that he didn't lash out completely and go wild in killing those people.
"Father, do you think he will be fine?"
Qin Shie stared with worry. She doesn't want her son to keep on torturing himself like that. He's still young and there will be more things he can achieve in his life. Doing this kind of thing to himself, he's just trying to press his feeling down.
"Do you remember that lass from Jun family? Maybe you can invite her here," Nanglong Souka suggested. In truth, he doesn't want to have anything with Jun family, but he knows that his grandson has a feeling towards the girl from Jun family. If that girl can help Soujin, then he will back off in this matter.
"Jun Hua?" Qin Shie said with furrowed brows. "I will send letters to Jun family. I hope they would agree with it."
Nanglong Souka nodded. He would have preferred for Soujin to pick an older girl like Tian Ni, but the young man is already an adult. He cannot dictate his life and could only go along with what the young man wants.
Looking at Qin Shie worrying about her son, he sighed. In the eyes of parents, their children would always be a child even if they have already grown up.

Jun family residence
Jun Zhenxian looks towards the letter in his hand like it is the biggest enemy he had. Reading the content of this letter, he almost wished to go towards Nanglong family residence and beat up that old man again. His body may be old, but his mind is still that of a doting grandfather and a general.
"Grandpa, why are you staring at that letter like you want to kill it?" Jun Hua feels that her grandfather antics have grown funnier. Does every old man is interesting?
"That Old Souka wants you to have a visit to their family residence. Soujin is drinking because of the incident with Jun Min."
"Soujin did?"
Jun Hua is surprised. They are indeed friends with each other, but they are not that close. Thinking about what they usually talks, they are only talking about those unimportant things that close to rubbish. But, remembering their times at the military, Jun Hua remembers the excitement she had when fighting alongside him and all.
She feels that she had done something really bad. She should have told him before that Jun Hua and Jun Min are the same person. If she had done that, this would not have happened. But, she can't tell him the truth anymore…
"Hua'er, why are you making that face?" Jun Zhenxian stared at his granddaughter face. The little girl looks troubled.
"Nothing, Grandpa," Jun Hua forced a smile on her face.
Jun Zhenxian walks forward and hugs the little girl. "I know that you have your own trouble. I won't ask if you don't want to tell me. Just remember, I will continue to support you."
"I know. Thank you Grandpa."
Jun Hua feels that she is lucky to be born in this family where she had people who love and support her. She faintly remembers Lan Gao Ya again. That girl had really surprised her at how she escapes, but she had expected that she will be able to go. The hidden power behind Lan family had fallen to her hand without Lan Teng knows about it.
Jun Zhenxian let his granddaughter go.
"When do you want to visit them?"
"I will go now, Xia, prepare the carriage!"
"Yes Miss."
Jun Hua smiled towards her grandfather. "I will be back soon."
"Yes, be careful."

Nanglong family residence
"She will come!" Qin Shie read the letter excitedly. She had long wished to see the girl whom her son takes interest in. Although she didn't know what kind of interest her son had for that little lady, she still feels that she is interesting. Now that Jun Hua chooses to come, she will get the chance.
Nanglong Souka raised his eyebrows. "That little lass wants to come?"
"Call her properly. She might become your granddaughter-in-law."
Nanglong Souka rolled his eyes. "I won't let Soujin marry her. What is so good with that little girl? She is only a 15-year-old girl, a girl who has not known the world."
Qin Shie didn't bother listening to the rambling old man. So what if Jun Hua is a little girl? As long as Soujin likes her, that is more than enough. And does she need to know the world? She can just stay inside the residence and accompany her, what the use of girl going outside that much?
Looking at Qin Shie who didn't bother listening to him, Nanglong Souka feels defeated. If his grandson didn't listen, that would be already a usual thing, but if his daughter-in-law didn't listen, that means he will keep on getting ignored…
"Old Master, Madam, Jun Hua from Jun family had arrived."
Qin Shie immediately stands up and rushed to the front door. Nanglong Souka followed from behind, still grumbling.
They look towards the carriage in front of the gate. A little girl walks down from the carriage, still wearing a veil. A single look has made Qin Shie and Nanglong Souka stunned and two different thoughts appear in their minds. The girl is dressed simply, but her stature alone has made people charmed.
Qin Shie truly wants to know, how can there be someone so beautiful in this world.
Nanglong Souka wants to curse. How can that be called little girl? She is clearly not a little girl. She is a demoness!
