Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



Nan Luo nodded and didn't look in Mu Fei Jiu's direction. It was impolite to look in the direction of an unmarried young lady and as a person who had been cultivated in manner, Nan Luo had no intention of breaking it.

At the side, Mu Fei Jiu was still smiling faintly but with the veil covering half her face, there was no way other people could see it.

She truly had no opinion about her marriage.

And she had already seen Feng Ao Kuai before when she paid a short visit to Nan Family Residence. If she had to say, she felt that he was quite good and his acting that day was flawless.

If not because she heard that Great General Nan headed out to find his granddaughter the next day, she would have never thought that Nan Hua was still alive.

She wanted to scold him for fooling her.

But in that situation, it was indeed not easy to find someone whom they could trust completely. So Mu Fei Jiu didn't exactly blame Feng Ao Kuai and instead felt somewhat intrigued.

Later on, she heard her father said that Madam Feng wanted to talk about possible marriage between her and Feng Ao Kuai. While Mu Fei Jiu had no intention of entering the nobility world again, she had to admit that the rest of those people from Mu Family were very annoying.

Without certain power and influence, dealing with them was not easy.

So, she had also been contemplating of finding an official or someone like that for her marriage partner. Even if they would not love each other, she wanted someone who could respect her and allowed her to deal with the Mu Family.

Feng Ao Kuai is Nan Hua's cousin.

While Feng Family might not be that powerful in the politics, they were not that bad in terms of influence. Entering their family would also allow her to have some kind of powerful backing that could help her sister and her father.

She herself had been building relationship with the Empress Dowager Yan and also those of Imperial Family. But that relationship was still shallow because she herself had been demoted as peasant.

It was inevitable that many people would look down on her.

But Mu Fei Jiu would not care about them and dealt with them appropriately. Acting as a sweet little girl and also a coquettish and somewhat weak person usually worked. After all, many people would usually side with the weak.

Mu Fei Jiu had been acting for so many years.

These noble ladies couldn't hurt her in the slightest bit. It might be a bit annoying at times, but she could still deal with them.

Secondly, this would also allow her to fulfill her wishes to be sister with Nan Hua. Well, it was just cousin in law, but it can still be called as sister.

So Mu Fei Jiu felt that it was fine for this marriage to happen.

But of course, she had to wait for the other party to respond first. If Feng Ao Kuai didn't want to, it was not impossible for them to find other people for their marriage. They were still young and there was no hurry.

Coming here to see Feng Ao Kuai was also because Mu Fei Jiu wanted to ask him about his view.

If they truly couldn't get along, it would be hard for them to get along after marriage.

So, she wanted to have a short talk.

But Feng Ao Kuai was not in Yi City. Thinking about Nan Luo's words that Feng Ao Kuai was in San City, Mu Fei Jiu knew that she had to dispel the thoughts of seeing him right away. San City was the frontline right now and her father would never agree with her going to the frontline.

She had to wait until the time Feng Ao Kuai returned to the Capital City.

Though, she herself had to admit that she didn't know when that would be.

"I see. In that case, shall I lead you to my grandfather?" Nan Luo knew that Old Master Nan must be too lazy to meet with other people and holed up in his study room. When they came here yesterday, Old Master Nan had already marked a few places such as bedroom, kitchen, study room, training room, and so on.

They were given the map so that they could remember the layout and not get lost in this temporary residence.

"Please." Mu Sheng Xi cupped his fist.

He turned to look at Mu Fei Jiu. "Fourth Cousin, please wait for me here."

"Okay." Mu Fei Jiu nodded obediently.

The two Mu Sheng Xi and Nan Luo then walked away with Xiao Yan following behind them. Only Nan Hua was left standing at the side as the guard and looked in Mu Fei Jiu's direction.

It has been three years or so since the last time she met with Mu Fei Jiu. Right now, Mu Fei Jiu had turned 14 years old and had grown up to be more beautiful. She grew a few centimeters taller and still looked like a sweet young lady as she used to be.

Perhaps, now that she no longer had to deal with her annoying relatives all the time, her skin looked healthier. She also looked far more refreshed and relaxed.

'Would she want to enter the painful scheming world again?'

While Nan Hua knew that her cousin was a reliable person, she knew Feng Ao Kuai's ambition more than anyone else. He never hid it from her and Nan Hua knew that if Mu Fei Jiu were to stay with Feng Ao Kuai, she would have to face it with him.

Even though she would only stay at the back and support him, but she might have to worry about her husband's safety almost all the time. It could be quite draining mentally, especially if what Mu Fei Jiu wanted was a normal life away from these scheming ladies.

But it was not Nan Hua's position to discuss about her cousin's marriage.

If he asked for her opinion, she would give it to him, but it would ultimately be his decision. Their grandfather wouldn't want to make arranged marriage without their consent after what had happened to Nan Hua and Nan Luo's father.
