Chapter 1348: Schemes
'Tempting fate, huh?'
Nan Hua closed her eyes and pushed all the thoughts from the back of her mind. As she had grown older, the advantage of reading that novel will slowly diminish. The novel after the first nine years were vaguer and contained many unexplained things.
But it was also the time for the battle to turn even fiercer.
And with her realizing the ability that she actually had, Nan Hua knew that it would be proven useful in the future.
But she couldn't overuse it.
'I'll take some rest for now.' Nan Hua closed her eyes and leaned on the wall, thinking about what she wanted to do in the future.
…
Jun Zhao finally chased those annoying relatives of his and brought Jun Fang to sell all of their stores. At the same time, he also mentioned that he wanted to move from Han Zhui City to some people who were close with him.
Those people were sad that Jun Zhao will leave, but they could understand.
With relatives like those people, it was no wonder that even the patient Jun Zhao would be fed up.
"It's all done, Father." Jun Fang collected the money and looked at his father with complicated emotions. "Will we be able to establish better business later?"
"Don't underestimate your father." Jun Zhao laughed. "We might not be able to become the richest person, but we definitely wouldn't have problem with feeding ourselves even after you're discharged from the army."
"Should I try to achieve some military merits?"
"No. I only have one son. Do you want me to lose my only descendant?" Jun Zhao looked at his son unkindly.
Jun Fang only laughed dryly and said nothing more.
Jun Zhao led his son back to the residence and then asked the servants to prepare for the departure. He walked to his study room and saw the note that Nan Hua left behind. It contained the instruction of what he should do.
Reading it, Jun Zhao's expression turned strange.
'I hope it'll work.'
Jun Zhao then walked out of the study room and headed to his own quarter to rest.
When it was night time, a servant walked towards the study room and set a fire there. It was a windy night, allowing the fire to spread rapidly.
There was no one in the area.
Aside from the books saved inside, there was nothing else.
The servant looked at the fire before departing. It was time for the others to act as if they were scared.
"Fire!"
"There's fire!"
"Where's water?"
"Put off the fire quickly!"
There was commotion and everyone was busy trying to put off the fire. However, one way or another, the servants were too late and the building was destroyed into ashes.
Nothing was left behind.
Jun Fang watched with blank expression and turned to look at his father. "Are there anything important inside, Father?"
"Nothing." Jun Zhao shook his head and sighed. "Forget about it. We're going to leave anyway."
"There are your books and other scrolls there.... Are you sure that there's no important record?" Jun Fang frowned.
He knew that Jun Family had a long history and it was impossible for them to have nothing in their study room. Just the fact that there was something left behind by their ancestor for them was already something very important.
"Your grandfather never gave me anything important. Anyway, the inheritance of Jun Family can be continued by my first brother." Jun Zhao was not worried in the slightest bit. "Go to rest. We're going to depart in another incense stick of time."
"Yes, Father."
As Jun Zhao walked back, he saw the servants were all watching with various expression. Though, they lowered their head when they saw him walking in their direction.
From the instruction that Nan Hua left for him, Jun Zhao had to speak those words in front of the servants to make them not suspicious of him. Besides, the relationship between him and his father was very clear.
The ancestral house was in his father's house anyway.
There was no need for him to bother with something like that.
As Jun Zhao walked away, some servant secretly reported what happened in Second Jun Family Residence. What they wanted the most was already destroyed and what left was only those in Old Master Jun's house.
They had to change their plans.
…
The next day, the group headed into the valley in Xia Mountain.
Jun Fang was incredibly nervous. Various negative stories had long been heard from those who dared to trespass the Xia Mountain. No one would dare to bet with their lives to enter the mountain ever again.
"Will those people who stay here be angry because we're here?" Jun Fang asked Nan Hua, who was sitting leisurely inside the carriage.
"They wouldn't dare."
Nan Hua looked outside calmly. With their real leader among the group who came today, who would actually dare to come up and court death?
Nan Si and Fei Mao who followed her secret in the dark had long informed the people in Xia Mountain that she will pass. Thus, they will turn blind eye for this group of people who came with her.
Since it was her direct order, who would dare to break it?
All that left was those people who secretly followed them from a distance. Nan Hua had ordered for her men to capture them and interrogated them about their real purpose in coming to Xia Mountain.
It might help Jun Zhao to find out the one who truly targeted them.
Nan Hua herself also wanted to know.
Time passed quietly until a servant came to Nan Hua in the afternoon. He informed that they had found out about Large Yu's headquarters and also finished the interrogation of the people who came to follow Second Jun Family's migration.
"All from Large Yu, huh?" Nan Hua nodded.
She was not surprised that they were all people from Large Yu because she had guessed it more or less when she heard that they took the job.
With Large Yu at the front, why should the person at the back bother to step forward in person?
