Chapter 270: Acting Pretentious

The advisor cast a glance at Nangong Che: “This medicine has a refractory period, no situation will arise when it’s first used, there would only be changes when listening to a designated sound, and they would completely forget everything once they completed our instructions.” 

He would not be telling Nangong Che if it wasn’t because of that.

The medicine had been researched before but it was only a half-finished product at that time. Although it was complete right now, it had never been used before, so they did not know the full effects.

“What you’re telling me is for me to maintain a good relationship with Ning Meng Yao and her husband, after that, seize the opportunity to…” Nangong Che looked at the advisor as he frowned.

He doubted such a method was of any use.

“That’s my exact thoughts,” The advisor nodded as he looked at Nangong Che.

Nangong Che furrowed his brows. He thought about Ning Meng Yao’s attitude towards him, it would really be difficult to build a good relationship with that couple.

Ning Meng Yao and the others had no idea what was on Nangong Che’s mind.

She was looking at Qiao Tian Chang in a confused manner: “Tian Chang, are you certain I must go?”

Previously, the people around Xiao Qi Feng had told Qiao Tian Chang that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days and they hoped to invite the two of them to celebrate in the palace.

“It’s Qi Feng’s idea, I’m afraid he’s hosting such a big banquet because of Nangong Che and the others,” Qiao Tian Chang was also frowning slightly.

He did not really like banquets in the palace and he would often reject it in the past. He would only attend if he was unable to reject it. Right now, he had invited them over, as for the reason… he found it really weird.

“Nangong Yue will be attending. Not only her, even people from Feng Empire and the surrounding empires have arrived. I’m afraid it’s not so easy to refuse this time,” It was impossible for he who was the Great General not to attend. When attending such a banquet, those who were married need to bring along their wives.

Ning Meng Yao cast a glance at Qiao Tian Chang speechlessly: “How troublesome.”

“I think so too, no matter how troublesome it is, we need to go. We better prepare for it,” Qiao Tian Chang who didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he said.  

Ning Meng Yao pouted in dissatisfaction: “Fine.”

Since she had agreed to Qiao Tian Chang’s request, Ning Meng Yao would naturally not allow herself to be embarrassed on that day. When Qiao Tian Chang was busy, she went to the clothing stores and jewelry stores just like other ladies.

Ning Meng Yao encountered Nangong Che when she was looking at clothes in the store, there was a woman covered in a veil by his side. 

There was a tiny flash in her eyes, Ning Meng Yao pretended not to see the two of them: “Qing Xue, let’s go.”

“I wonder which clothing the Great General’s wife fancies? If you like it, I can buy it to you,” Nangong Che spoke when he saw Ning Meng Yao turning around to leave. He thought she  might have found the clothing here too expensive.

Ning Meng Yao calmly shot a glance at him, she turned her head and said to Qing Xue: “Qing Xue, do I look so poor?”

Qing Xue rolled her eyes at Ning Meng Yao. With a swoosh, she took out a large stack of notes from her pocket. That stack of notes was worst at least 100 thousand.

“I am not so poor to require aid from others. Stop acting all pretentious if there’s nothing,” Ning Meng Yao looked at Nangong Che disdainfully as she left with Qing Xue. 

Acting like a wealthy person in front of her? Was he not afraid that she would crush him to death with her money?

Nangong Che choked and was unable to retort.

Nangong Yue, who saw their back figures when they left frowned and asked: “Brother, is she the woman you mentioned? She indeed looks a little similar.”

“Yes, but her temper is really not good,” Nangong Che grunted.

Nangong Yue cast a glance at her brother and gently shook her head.

Even she was able to tell that woman wasn’t ordinary. Although her eyes might look gentle, she was also very proud. She had her self-esteem, she also had her pride.

Her brother’s doing had undoubtedly smacked her in the face. It was no wonder they had used the money to claim her face back. 

“Royal Brother, your means are wrong. Doing so would only disgust her even more,” She and Nangong Che were siblings from a different mother, but her Imperial Father had asked her to help her Royal Brother. If not, she would not have paid any attention.

Compared to Nangong Che, she had a favorable impression of Ning Meng Yao whom she had only met once.
