They could only do business honestly.

Nan Hua knew about them because she had read about it. But even then, she had no interest to take advantage of him more than necessary. As long as they could coexist, she didn’t need to kill more people.

There was more than one way to settle problems.

Killing is not the only answer.

And Nan Hua knew that Han Jiang is more useful to be alive than dead. Since that was the case, Nan Hua will just keep him alive and cooperate with him in accordance to the rules the two of them set.

“Miss, if you need me to do something, you can give the order.” Chu Yue bowed her head.

Even though Chu Yue didn’t trust Han Jiang, she will not act out of the line. She will do whatever Nan Hua ordered her to do and do everything possible to protect Nan Hua as best as possible.

“I know.”

.....

Nan Hua glanced at Chu Yue. Chu Yue was one of the few girls whom her grandfather trained specifically to be her maidservants and bodyguard. Even though Nan Hua’s skill was above Chu Yue, it was good to have someone act as a cover for her.

It was also Old Master Nan’s intention.

After all, a person’s time and power was limited. Nan Hua will need as much help as possible.

“Miss, we’ve arrived.”

“Mhm.”

Their carriage went on a different way compared to the other members of Jian Family. Nan Hua could see that the people there were looking in her direction as if they were looking at their biggest enemy, but she didn’t care.

She didn’t need to win them over.

This identity of Jun Hua from a small village was an identity that she would discard sooner or later.

Chu Yue then found an inn for Nan Hua to stay while Madam Han was busy trying to open her new store in the Capital City. Naturally, Nan Hua had no intention of staying with Madam Han and handed her resignation.

“I would like you to keep this matter a secret for the time being.”

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Madam Han grinned. When she weighed the money that Nan Hua gave to her, she knew what kind of story and excuse she could make in order to distance herself from Nan Hua.

That way, she wouldn’t be in trouble.

At most, they would try to question her.

“If someone from their family come, you’ll be the one to settle it.”

“I understand.” Madam Han patted her chest as if saying that Nan Hua could trust her. In any case, Madam Han had already worked in various works before and knew how to treat these nobles.

All that she needed was a little flattery and eloquence.

How they would respond afterwards would depend on their impression.

Anyway, as long as she could get a lot of money from Nan Hua, she didn’t mind using her skill to dupe them. It would be good for her if she could take some benefits for her embroidery house too.

Nan Hua then returned to her room and changed her clothes. Before long, the image of a young man was finished. Nan Hua inserted a hairpin to her hair and then looked at her own appearance in the bronze mirror.

She looked very similar to Nan Luo.

Even after all this time, the two of them were still 90% similar to each other. If it was not because Nan Luo’s muscle had started to form even clearer and his features grew more masculine, no one would be able to differentiate the two of them.

Nan Luo looked a bit bigger compared to Nan Hua if one paid close attention. But with their clothes on, who would have the time to care about that minute differences?

Nan Hua then put on some makeup to hide her feminine countenance.

And soon, no one will be able to differentiate her with her twin brother anymore. With little makeup and proper dressing, the two of them looked so similar that even if they switched places, no one will be able to find out.

But Nan Luo might have problems acting as a girl…

He didn’t want to wear girl’s clothing unless it was absolutely necessary. Thankfully, there hasn’t been the case of him needing to wear girl clothing so far.

“Stay here, Chu Yue.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Nan Hua slipped away.

With her new appearance, she no longer attracted that many attentions. There were too many young man who were walking along the street. And Nan Hua was wearing an unremarkable brown robe that could be seen almost everywhere.

As soon as Nan Hua came out, Qiu Dong and Nan Si noticed it.

It was not like they could easily sense her presence, but they were already informed in advance that Nan Hua would take a walk as a young man.

Not far from her, Qiu Dong was silently following her. He also needed to familiarize himself with this city. Similar to Nan Hua, he also looked unremarkable.

Thus, they didn’t care that much about him.

The people on the street had no time to pay attention to strangers who were blending. It would be impossible for them to know everyone on the street, so both Nan Hua and Qiu Dong could walk openly without anyone paying attention.

It was one of the few skills that they needed to master as an assassin.

An assassin was not only a person who sneaked around at night trying to catch someone off guard. They were also people who could act in the middle of the day and no one would pay attention to them.

It was because they looked ordinary.

So ordinary that no one will think that it was strange for them to walk around in this area.

It didn’t take long for Nan Hua to familiarize herself with the street and headed to the direction of Zhang Family Residence.
