Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower-Chapter 7 - The Complicated Relationship

Even from a distance away, Nan Hua could hear her grandfather spanking her twin brother. She wondered whether the house was always so lively here.

Bai Yin noticed that Nan Hua slowed down and quickly spoke up, "Miss, Young Master is just having his lesson. It's normal for this to happen."

"There's no need to worry about Young Master, Miss," Xiao Yun also added helplessly.

Nan Hua nodded and continued walking. She arrived before an exquisite quarter. It was painted in light cream color outside and gave off the warm feelings. There were several servants who were busy cleaning up the yard. When they saw Nan Hua, they quickly retreated to the side and lowered their head.

One servant was standing at the front door and quickly rushed over to Nan Hua's side.

While walking, Nan Hua was gathering the pitiful information about Nan Hua inside the novel. As the original fiancée of the main character and also someone who fell deeply for the main character, Nan Hua had very little screen time inside the novel.

One of the reasons was because of the ancient time's custom. The other reason was because the main character was also busy training.

He didn't really have time to interact much with his original fiancée.

'Cold, ruthless, selfish, and annoying.'

That was how the novel described Nan Hua be.

Nan Hua right now didn't have any qualm to act cold because she herself was not someone who was used to interact with people. She could act, of course, but her original personality has always been a little cold.

Her eyes lowered to look at the servant. Nan Hua had several servant girls and at the beginning of the story, she had three, which were Xiao Yun, Bai Yin, and Mu Yan. Mu Yan was often left to stay in the residence to take care of it, which was why this character appeared even less.

"Miss."

"I want to rest. Leave me alone."

"Yes, Miss."

The three of them retreated and one of them left to stay guarding at the door. It was the usual custom for servants to guard their master's door. This was to make sure there were no unwanted visitors.

Nan Hua entered the room and looked around. The room was by no means small. There was one bed, one table, one chair, and several other furniture. It was clear that Nan Hua was pampered greatly by her grandfather as he allowed her to have everything.

Moving to the table, Nan Hua spotted some bamboo scrolls.

During this time, there was no paper yet. The novel was made in an alternate world but it was following similar culture to the timeline of the middle of warring states era.

'War…' 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

Nan Hua pushed the thoughts aside and looked at the scrolls. To be able to have books, it was clear that her grandfather was rich and also influential. Not many people were capable to have personal books and most of them have to head over to the academy.

Of course, women couldn't head there.

She read the content of the book. It was philosophy and also about some history. It seemed that the original Nan Hua was also someone who was interested in books.

"Miss, it's time to eat."

"Come in." Nan Hua watched as the servants walked in with the plates. She pushed away the bamboo scrolls and walked to the table to eat. Washing her hand in a basin, Nan Hua then started to eat.

The ancient world had variety of novelty food. The taste was also very different than what she had in the future.

Well, her normal ration was only some rice and vegetables without any taste.

Bai Yin looked at Nan Hua and felt that the Miss was somewhat colder than usual. "Miss, Master Nan wishes for you to visit him tomorrow."

Master Nan?

Nan Hua knew that the only person who could be called as Master Nan would be Nan Hua's biological father, Nan Shu Cheng. He also lived in the Capital City but Nan Hua's mother chose to stay with his grandfather rather than with him.

"Reason?" Nan Hua asked in an indifferent tone.

Bai Yin gritted her teeth but since she had already mentioned it, she had to proceed until the end.

"Master Nan had just promoted Concubine Qu to be his main wife and he wished for you to celebrate it with him."

That was the reason why Nan Hua's mother didn't want to return back.

Nan Shu Cheng had a lot of concubines and the one whom he loved the most was Concubine Qu. In addition, Concubine Qu had one son. How could Nan Shu Cheng bear to let his son to be of concubine born?

Thus, not even the 100 days mourning period had finished and he had already elevated his concubines to be his main wife.

Nan Hua could sense her heart tightening when the names were mentioned. It must be the body's instinctive reaction. She knew that she should not return back now as it would be the same as entering a den of wolves.

"I'm not returning."

"I understand, Miss. I'll report it."

"Mhm." Nan Hua continued to eat quietly.. Her chopstick moved elegantly as she continued to stuff more food into her mouth.
