176 It’s Not Your Faul

"Jun Hua greets Prime Minister Nanglong Souka and Madam Qin Shie," Jun Hua curtsied.

Qin Shie walked forward to help Jun Hua rise. She looks at Jun Hua carefully. "Good child, come in. Soujin is still sleeping, you can meet with him later."

Jun Hua nodded and followed Qin Shie in. She was glad that Soujin was fine though he had just probably drinking until he's completely drunk. At least, he didn't harm himself.

Nanglong family is big. Naturally their place is big and comfortable. The layout of the house is elegant and there is balance of artistic and the color of the place. It didn't look too dark or even too bright, but expressed the authority of this place as both minister and military people.

Qin Shie walked inside and allowed Jun Hua to sit in the living room. Jun Hua does not show any impatient look on her face because she had heard that Soujin is still sleeping. She doesn't want to be a bother to him. Because of that, she naturally talks with Qin Shie while waiting.

'She's not as stupid as what people said.'

Nanglong Souka is listening to them from the side. He is quite surprised to see that Jun Hua is quite knowledgeable. The topic that girls usually talked, she can follow and even added a few bit of unexpected things. Qin Shie is, of course, happy to talk with Jun Hua, to her, this girl is likeable.

"How long has General Soujin been sleeping?" Jun Hua finally diverted the talk towards Soujin.

Qin Shie is surprised to hear the honorific Jun Hua used against Soujin, but she didn't mind it. After all, it shows that she knows manner and didn't purposely act close with Soujin just because they have interacted a few times. "It has been a few hours. He should be waking up anytime soon."

"Since he was drunk, he would need some sobering tea and light dishes," Jun Hua said concerned.

Qin Shie nodded. "You're a caring girl. I would have some servant prepare for it. Do you want to have a look at him?"

"I don't think it's appropriate."

Jun Hua only says that as pleasantries. There is no way Qin Shie wouldn't have thought that given that she was already married and handling her own husband. As for visiting Soujin, she better did not do that. She was only a lady and she shouldn't go towards other person bedroom, especially guys.

Little did she know that Qin Shie only says those things in order to test her. She truly like Jun Hua's response for she knows the appropriate manner. After all, when she asked the same question to Tian Ni, the girl only show bashful manner on the surface, but she didn't directly decline like Jun Hua.

Qin Shie merely asked the servant to prepare for it. Although they have prepared for it, they heated it up again to make it more presentable. A servant comes inside.

"Madam, Young Master has woken up."

Qin Shie nodded. "I will pay him a visit. Please wait for a moment, Lady Hua."

"Yes, Madam."

Jun Hua sits down calmly. Her eyes stared at the cup on her hand. The talk just now is fun, Madam Qin Shie is truly knowledgeable, unlike usual woman who only stays on the residence. Jun Hua didn't bother looking around because she knows that Nanglong Souka is watching her.

Rather than making that old man impression of her worsens, she better stays inside this room calmly and looks towards the cup. The engraving in this cup is interesting and Jun Hua chooses to look at them and focused her attention to the cup.

Soujin feels a headache when waking up. He looks at the ceiling of his room with confusion. He cannot remember when he returned to his room.

"Soujin, have you woken up?" Qin Shie walks into the room.

Soujin sits up and nodded. His head is still slightly hurt. It seemed he had too much drink the night before.

Qin Shie handed him the sobering tea and Soujin drank it up before looking towards his mother. "Mother, sorry for the inconvenience."

"Silly boy, you better eat a bit. Your friend is waiting for you."

"Friend?" Soujin rarely has anyone visiting him at home. Even Yan wouldn't come uninvited. That makes him confused about who has come.

"I asked Princess Hua to come."

That name makes Soujin almost stand up instantly. He wanted to see that girl again. After that incident, he hadn't got the courage to look at her again. Now that she is in his home, he feels somewhat impatient to see the girl again.

"Eat first," Qin Shie said. The reaction Soujin had clearly expressed his feeling. Qin Shie could already guess what this man had in his mind. Although she did have some clues from his past behavior, finally she gets a little bit more confirmation.

Soujin took up his chopstick and eat the food in quick speed. He knows that his mother won't let him go if he didn't. In a matter of minutes, he had finished and excused himself from his mother before strode out.

Qin Shie watched his antics and shakes her head, slightly amused.

"Silly boy."

Soujin walk to the living room. The sound of his footsteps is clear and when he arrived, Jun Hua had stands up and gives him a bow.

"Jun Hua greets General Soujin."

Soujin looks at the girl in front of him. The girl still looks the same as before, pretty. Even the incident hadn't made her torture herself despite there are some black marks on her face.

"You have returned to call me with the general. I thought you would call me Prince."

Jun Hua smiled. "General seemed to be more suitable for you."

"Let's leave this room. There is an eyesore here."

"Who are you calling eyesore you brat? Calling your own grandfather like that?" Nanglong Souka chided. This grandson of his keeps on getting on his nerve.

Soujin ignored him and led Jun Hua to the courtyard. Jun Hua didn't dare to look at Nanglong Souka and followed after Soujin obediently. After they have arrived, Soujin picks one of the chairs for them to sit down.

"Sorry for making you come here. I bet my mother has been nagging you."

"It's alright. Madam Qin Shie is really kind."

Soujin knows that, but she would definitely talk about many things. He is just worried that Jun Hua would find it hard to answer and accompany her.

"You don't have to come here if you don't want to."

Jun Hua shakes her head. "No one force me to come."

Soujin didn't know what he wanted to say. There are many things he wanted to tell the girl beside him, but his words stopped at his throat. He just doesn't know what he should say.

"That day, I'm sorry. I cannot do anything about your brother," hearing this, Jun Hua tensed up.

"It's not your fault, General Soujin."

Soujin knows that it is not his fault. That day, the two Lan's had schemed for it and it will still happened no matter what Soujin did.

"I just couldn't help but blame myself. To lose an important person in one's life is not an easy thing."

Jun Hua doesn't know who Soujin had lost in the past, but she knows that he was someone that treasured his friends. Besides, being a general herself, she knows the pain of losing her soldiers especially if they are her close friend. It was hard. No matter how many times it happened, you just cannot get used with losing someone important to you.

"I know. But, you still have other people who cared for you."

"You're right," Soujin feels a bit better. His mind knows that, but hearing it from other people somehow calms him down. His calm composed self started to return. "Are you included in that group?"

Does she care about Soujin? Jun Hua thinks for a moment.

"Yes, I am."
