Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Ao Kuai, you…" Nan Si Qiao wanted to ask what Feng Ao Kuai was planning, but she saw his gaze and swallowed the words she was about to say.

"I'll tell you when it's time, Mother." Feng Ao Kuai smiled reassuringly.

Old Master Nan snorted. "They indeed have no such wide influence, but you should still be careful."

"I know. Don't worry, Grandfather." 

Feng Ao Kuai thought about General Mu but didn't explore the matter deeper. Because General Mu retired at the time he started going to the battlefield, he didn't have much understanding of this general.

However, he also knew that whoever was able to obtain the title of a general was by no means ordinary.

General Mu break away from his family members because they were all treating him badly?

He was more inclined to the other statement that said that General Mu break away from his family members because he sensed that they have overstepped the line. In order to protect himself and his family, he chose to break away from his family.

But no one knew the truth for sure.

Besides, this matter had long been buried for so many years.

Feng Ao Kuai had no intention to bring up the old case again. But since General Mu had declared separation, he would not allow them to take advantage of the other two sisters again.

Part of the reason was because Mu Fei Jiu would be his future wife.

The other reason was because he knew that Mu Fei Jiu and Nan Hua were close friends.

…

<Not long distance away, Mu Family Carriage>

The two women from Mu Family were sitting opposite of each other right now.

"Fourth Sister, are you going to marry into Feng Family?" Mu Kai Liu asked in a low voice, looking at the young woman in front of her curiously.

Mu Fei Jiu's eyes flashed and she leaned forward, showing a clueless look. "I don't know for sure, Third Sister. I don't think they will want to be associated with Mu Family, though."

"Mu Family is good." Mu Kai Liu shrugged. "If you have any difficulties, you can come to us for help."

"I wouldn't dare." Mu Fei Jiu wriggled on her seat. "My dad said that my mother had prepared enough for my marriage, so I can handle it myself. Besides, I heard that the nephew in Sister's house is making trouble."

Mai Kai Liu's smile solidified when the child in her family's house was mentioned. She was the main wife because her husband's official position was low. However, she didn't manage to give birth to a son to him.

The so called nephew in Mu Fei Jiu's mouth was the son of her husband's concubine.

Her fingers clenched to form a fist, but she tried her best to maintain the smile on her face. "Fourth Uncle's condition is not suitable to go out. I can help out."

"But Third Sister is busy. Fei Jiu didn't want to make First Uncle worry for Third Sister." Mu Fei Jiu showed a troubled look.

Worry?

Thinking of her father, Mu Kai Liu nearly sneered. Her father never cared for them unless it was a matter that was related to his profit. Even if he was a general, General Mu was a profit oriented person. 

He would do anything to make sure that he would obtain the highest amount of profit.

The daughters in his house were all nothing more than tools for him to gain more connection and profit.

"Don't worry so much…"

"Third Sister, that's Brother in Law Mo, right?" Mu Fei Jiu pointed outside. She was sitting beside the window and her eyes sparkled when she looked outside.

Mu Kai Liu's heart sped up. She leaned in and saw her husband was talking with a woman beside him. Looking at their appearance, it was clear that her husband was infatuated with her.

At this moment, Mu Kai Liu couldn't bother to care about Mu Fei Jiu. She really wanted to rush outside and ask her husband whether he wanted to take another concubine or not. There were already five women in the back courtyard and Mu Kai Liu already wanted to vomit when she thought of the other four women.

His position was not high, but he was still thinking of adding more women?

Mu Kai Liu's eyes flashed with hatred.

Mu Fei Jiu watched Mu Kai Liu's expression and then leaned back, still showing the same innocent look. If one didn't know better, they would only think that she was a child whose attention couldn't focus on one matter.

"Madam Mo, Fourth Miss, we've arrived."

"Third Sister, I'm going first~." Mu Fei Jiu said sweetly.

"Ah yeah." Mu Kai Liu looked at her cousin who jumped down the carriage and clenched her fist. Sometimes, she was a bit enviable of this cousin of hers who could smile happily all the time. 

On the other hand, she had to keep on fighting with the other women. When she was with her father, she competed with her sisters for the best husbands. When she was married, she competed with the other concubines.

It was really...

Suffocating.

Mu Fei Jiu walked towards her own quarter, her steps were light. She naturally knew that Mu Kai Liu came to her residence this morning to accompany her in order to show that General Mu and her father's relationship was not bad.

She played along with them.

But it didn't mean that she would let them use her father and controlled her life.

She had worked hard many years ago to destroy those who dared to stretch their hands to push her and her father down. 

This time, she would not allow them to repeat the same mistake.

For a moment, a flash of ruthlessness flashed in Mu Fei Jiu's eyes. The lovely and innocent face looked somewhat scary and terrifying.

But in the next moment, that look disappeared as if everything was nothing more than a dream.
