"So that's how it is!" Nan Muxue nodded after hearing that, secretly feeling lucky that she reacted quickly enough, otherwise, she would have been caught by now.

"Muxue, you haven't eaten yet? I asked someone to prepare some snacks, you can try them first!" Nan Muqing looked at Nan Muxue and said.

Nan Muxue nodded, "Okay!"

Afterwards, Nan Muqing ordered the kitchen to make some snacks, and then had someone deliver them to Nan Muxue's room.

Nan Muxue looked at the snacks in front of her and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Nan Muqing has always been a good cook, and she also likes to taste delicious food.

Nan Muxue's mouth moved slightly, but in the end, she held back.

"Muxue, what's wrong? Don't you like it? I specially asked the kitchen to make it!" Nan Muqing asked when she saw that Nan Muxue was slow to make a move.

Nan Muxue shook her head and said, "No, uncle's cooking skills are the best, but I don't really like sweet food!"

"Is that so?" Nan Muqing nodded after hearing that, then she picked up a piece of cake and took a bite.

When Nan Muxue saw this, she suddenly felt disgusted.

Nan Muxue watched Nan Muqing's actions, and a sinister light flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Nan Muqing is mocking her. Is she a fool?

However, Nan Muxue didn't show any emotion on her face. She smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle. It's delicious!"

"Then eat more. I wonder what you like to eat on weekdays?" Nan Feng looked at Nan Muxue, then said with a smile.

"I'm not picky about food and I like to eat vegetarian food!" said Nan Muxue.

"Then your taste is similar to mine!" Nanfeng said with a smile.

Nan Muxue's lips curled up into a faint smile.

She and Nanfeng are cousins, so it's natural that they like the same things.

"By the way, uncle, I want to discuss something with you!" Nan Muxue said.

"You say!" Nan Feng looked at Nan Muxue and said.

"I want to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Is that okay?" Nan Muxue asked.

"Sure!" Nanfeng agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, uncle!" Nan Muxue said with a smile.

"By the way, I have a gift for you!" Nanfeng suddenly said.

"Gift?" Nan Muxue was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What gift?"

Nan Feng stretched out his hand, then fumbled around on the table. Finally, he took out a jade pendant and placed it in Nan Muxue's hand.

Nan Muxue looked at the jade pendant in her hand, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Her eyes flickered, as if she was guessing what the jade pendant was.

"Mu Xue, this jade pendant is a treasure passed down from my grandfather. The Nan family emblem is engraved on it, so I think you should be able to recognize it!" Nan Feng said.

"Family emblem?" Nan Muxue's heart suddenly tightened as she looked at the jade pendant in her hand.

As expected, the Nan family emblem was printed on this jade pendant.

This jade pendant is the only token of her parents' love left to her.

"Well! I see that you are more familiar with the Nan family's situation, so let you keep it for me!" Nan Feng said.

Upon hearing this, Nan Muxue quickly stuffed the jade pendant in her hand into Nan Feng's hand and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood. I don't care about any family emblem. I just think this jade pendant is very beautiful, so I want to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha!"

"Really?" Nanfeng's eyes flashed with suspicion when he heard that, but he didn't ask any further questions.

"Yes!" Nan Muxue nodded.

"In that case, then you can wear this jade pendant around your neck. This way, you will be more like a member of the Nan family!" Nan Feng said.

"Yes!" Nan Muxue responded, but she felt speechless in her heart.

Is Nanfeng testing her?

Nan Muxue was not sure what Nan Feng's purpose was, because she always felt that Nan Feng's expression was too calm.

"Okay, I still have something to discuss with your uncle. I'll talk to you later!" After Nan Feng finished speaking, he stood up, said a few words to Nan Muqing, and left.

Nan Muxue looked at the two people's backs as they left, feeling a little complicated.

......

Nan Muxue's mind was completely focused on the jade pendant, so she didn't notice that someone was spying on her, and that they were two masters.

After Nan Feng and Nan Muqing walked out, a man in black came out.

"Master, Nan Muxue has been sent to the villa according to your instructions. Do you want to take action next?" asked the man in black.

"Don't worry for now!" Nan Feng said, "Let her stay outside for a few years this time so she can learn her lesson!"

"Yes!" replied the man in black.

......

The next day, Nan Muxue got up early.

Because she was going to attend the martial arts conference, Nan Muxue changed into men's clothes and covered her face with a veil.

That way, she wouldn't arouse suspicion.

After Nan Muxue arrived at the inn, she began to wash up.

After washing up, Nan Muxue went upstairs to order a breakfast, then sat at the table and ate quietly.

"Waiter, pay the bill!" Nan Muxue shouted to the waiter after she had eaten and drunk her fill.

The waiter came over and said, "Sir, the total is five hundred taels of silver!"

Five hundred taels?

When Nan Muxue heard this number, her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

When she was at home, her monthly salary was only a few hundred taels.

But now she actually costs five hundred taels for a meal?

"Sir, would you like to wash your dishes?" the waiter asked again.

When Nan Muxue heard this, a surge of anger surged in her heart.

She has been used to a life of luxury since she was a child. How could she have ever suffered such injustice?

Nan Muxue looked at the waiter with a cold face and said, "I won't wash the dishes anymore, you help me wipe the table!"

"Okay!" replied the waiter.

"However, I want you to use the best cloth in your store to wipe the table for me!" Nan Muxue said.

"Okay!" replied the waiter.

"What color is the best fabric in your store?" Nan Muxue asked.

"Red!" the waiter replied.

"I want that color!" said Nan Muxue.

The waiter's face changed when he heard this. "My dear girl, to be honest, the cloth in our store is all imported from various countries. The price is several times more expensive than other places. Moreover, each piece of these cloths has its own unique pattern, so the price is naturally much more expensive!"

Nan Muxue was slightly startled when she heard this, "Do you have the purple one in your store?"

"Yes, of course!" said the waiter.

Nan Muxue felt relieved when she heard this.

"I want that color. How much is it?" Nan Muxue said.

"Well, that depends on what style you want!" the waiter replied.
