Since Xingyu was fine, Nan Zhijun gradually calmed down. Today's matter was truly too dangerous. If Xingyu really took those thirty slates, then the people close to her would be Nan Yurou's subordinates. From today onwards, not to mention seizing the power over Mrs. Shen's Nan Family, it would be her future life … Nan Zhijun didn't dare to think any further.

Although Mrs. Shen's punishment seemed to be a reprimand to Xingyu, it was actually a reprimand for Nan Zhijun. The power of the Nan Family was in the hands of Mrs. Shen, which was too much of a disadvantage for her.

If he wanted revenge and wanted to protect his loved ones, he would have to take away Mrs. Shen's power.

He had to overthrow Mrs. Shen as soon as possible, and the authority of his Nan Family could no longer be in the hands of Mrs. Shen. Nan Zhijun swore to herself. He also exerted strength in his hands, causing Xingyu's hands to turn green from clenching.

"Miss …" Xingyu gently called out to Nan Zhijun as she felt the pain in her hands. However, Nan Zhijun was immersed in her own thoughts. Xingyu called her as if she didn't hear anything. Her eyes were glued to the ground.

Seeing Nan Zhijun's expression, Xingyu thought that she still felt uncomfortable, so she didn't say anything and just quietly supported her.

Actually, it wasn't easy for Nan Zhijun to overthrow Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen had already used the Nan Family to establish a lot of connections, but she was merely a pampered young miss. Other than the servants and trusted followers of Nan Family within the walls, she did not know anyone.

Nan Zhijun lightly shook her head as she turned away.

The little stun he'd just had wasn't over yet. Nan Zhijun's head was still a little dizzy. He looked down and saw that he had grabbed Xingyu's hand.

Xingyu's face was flushed red. It was unknown if it was from the pain or the fright just now that she still hadn't recovered from her shock. Nan Zhijun let go of her tightly clenched fist and picked up her handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Xingyu's palms.

Xingyu raised her head and smiled sweetly at her. "Is Miss alright?" "Xingyu was truly frightened just now."

"Much better." Although Nan Zhijun said this, her words were like a thread that seemed to fade away. She didn't have any strength left in her words.

What Gou Xiuhao did just now helped her protect Xingyu. She was very grateful in her heart, but Nan Zhijun really couldn't understand why Gou Xiuhao did that.

Just now, Mrs. Shen wanted to punish Xingyu, which was also a family matter of Nan Family. It's not like Gou Xiuhao didn't know what Mrs. Shen meant, even if Murong Yan was crazy, he still had to take care of things. Murong Yan still relied on Mrs. Shen and the other two to do things for him.

There were only two reasons for Gou Xiuhao's actions. The first was because Gou Xiuhao was stupid and did not understand Mrs. Shen's intention behind her actions.

But in his previous life, Nan Zhijun could be said to be together with Murong Yan from day to night. Nan Zhijun understood who Murong Yan used to use. What's more, Gou Xiuhao was Murong Yan's trusted aide, so he wouldn't be so stupid.

If Gou Xiuhao wasn't acting this way because of his stupidity, then he must have had other intentions.

Why was he helping Nan Zhijun? Mrs. Shen's earlier words about punishing Xingyu had clearly been done in front of Gou Xiuhao to show Nan Zhijun's might.

Firstly, he wanted to take revenge on Nan Zhijun because she had been suppressed while playing, and secondly, he wanted to prove his strength to Gou Xiuhao, which was Murong Yan.

Although Murong Yan was interested in Nan Zhijun right now, Nan Zhijun didn't have any authority. This Nan Family was something that she, Mrs. Shen, had told Nan Yurou before. He was telling Murong Yan not to get on the wrong team and pick the wrong person.

Gou Xiuhao would definitely see what he could see.

Gou Xiuhao's words just now did not take into account the meaning behind Mrs. Shen's actions.

Nan Zhijun felt a headache coming on, and her legs swayed unsteadily, causing her body to become unsteady again.

"Is Miss really okay? It would be better to let Xingyu call a doctor. " Xingyu supported Nan Zhijun as she looked at her slightly dazed appearance. She knew that she had to get a doctor to come and take a look.

Nan Zhijun pulled Xingyu back. "I'm fine. I'm just a little thirsty. Help me get some water. I'll sit here for a while. I'll be fine after a short rest."

Although Xingyu still couldn't be at ease, since Nan Zhijun had said so, she couldn't continue to insist. She could only go and get some water for her.

Nan Zhijun was born white and clean. She wore a rose-red veil which accentuated her natural talent.

At this moment, Gou Xiuhao was conversing with Mrs. Shen, their backs facing her. It was unknown what they were saying. Gou Xiuhao laughed as he chatted. Although he looked very pretty, his actions didn't seem like Young Master's background.

Although Nan Zhijun was suspicious, she could not think of anything for a moment.

"Miss, tea." Xingyu held a cup of warm tea carefully with both hands. From far away, she could smell the tempting aroma of tea.

"The young miss sat and rested for a moment. Her complexion has improved quite a bit." When Xingyu saw that Nan Zhijun's face was no longer as pale as it used to be, she was overjoyed. Even her tone of voice had become cheerful.

Nan Zhijun was lucky to have someone like Xingyu, who truly cared for her, within this deep wall.

"This tea is so fragrant." No one knew when Gou Xiuhao had walked up to them, but he was standing by the side with his hands behind his back, smelling the tea in Nan Zhijun's hands. What did you get for your master? " Gou Xiuhao raised his face, his fair and handsome face seemed to almost touch Xingyu's small face.

Xingyu's face instantly turned as red as an apple. She hurriedly bowed and said, "The Great General Nan had specially arranged for me to bring my Young Miss some flower tea from the Western Regions." Miss usually doesn't sleep well, but this scented tea has a miraculous effect on calming your heart and calming your sleep. If Young Master likes it, then Xingyu will go and get a cup for Young Master Gou to try. "

"It seems that the Southern General really values Miss Nan!" Gou Xiuhao said in a clear voice, "I won't drink tea, your Miss is weak, you take good care of her."

"Yes."

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Gou." Nan Zhijun gently stood up and bowed towards Gou Xiuhao. When he raised his head, their gazes met.

Nan Zhijun only felt that those eyes were very familiar, as if she had seen them there not long ago.

Was this person really Murong Yan's trusted aide Gou Xiuhao? What kind of goal did he have for him to come here? Why did he need to help an unknown young miss like her and praise her so many times?

The doubts in Nan Zhijun's heart grew bigger and bigger, from her previous life to this life. Nan Zhijun was also confused as the scenes played out before her eyes one by one.
