Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Shu Cheng looked at his daughter icily. Not even a day had passed yet Nan Hua had already beaten up his servants.

How unruly.

Even when facing her father's furious gaze, Nan Hua was calm. She looked at the servants in front of her. "I'm merely disciplining the servants, Father."

"Disciplining the servants?" Nan Shu Cheng felt like exploding right away. He wanted to beat up this daughter of his. "Can't you use other methods?"

The sounds of beating could be heard even from other places?

He knew very well that there were a lot of spies in his own residence because he was not really competent. It was also because of this that he was angry. If words went out about his daughter beating up servants, what should he say?

Nan Hua looked at Nan Shu Cheng and asked slowly, word by word, "Since you're the one who brought me here, what's your expectation of me, Official Nan? Becoming your perfect 'daughter' who will never complain when mistreated?"

Official Nan.

This words alienated him even more than before, making Nan Shu Cheng heaving in anger. He thought that his daughter had finally accepted to have him as her father, which was why he still pestered his father to bring her here. But seeing her like this, he knew that turning this girl to his side wouldn't be easy.

By now, he was gripping his hand tightly. If only his nails were a bit longer, he would have long tear his own palm.

"You…"

Nan Hua didn't bother waiting for Nan Shu Cheng to recover. She tapped the table where Mu Yan put the tray. "Is this the meal members of Nan Family deserved to have?"

One question.

But it was all it took for Nan Shu Cheng to shut his mouth. His father had already warned him not to mistreat Nan Hua. If he did, it would give his father an excuse to bring Nan Hua away from Nan Family Residence.

"No, the servants are at fault." Nan Shu Cheng had to grit his teeth in order for the words to come out.

Nan Hua nodded. "Is there anything wrong in my action?"

"No."

"I would like a kitchen of my own here." Nan Hua looked at her own father, a person who never even treated her well. When she was staying with Old Master Nan and Nan Luo, she thought that families should be like them. They would stick close together and tried their best for each other's sake and would not mistreat them.

Nan Shu Cheng was not even suitable to be a father.

Yet, Nan Hua couldn't say such thing out loud. It would only result in her being given pointed fingers because of what she said and how unsuitable it was.

"Why do you want one?" Nan Shu Cheng narrowed his eyes.

"Rather than having these kinds of food, I would rather have my maidservants prepare the food." Nan Hua was calm. "Is it impossible, Father?"

Now she called him as Father?

Nan Shu Cheng felt that his anger at this point was even higher than all of his cumulative anger for the past year. Never in his dream that he would think his daughter being so annoying that he didn't wish to see her in the slightest.

"You can have it." Nan Shu Cheng turned around. He waved his hand. "And tell those servants to get back to work!"

"Yes, I'm done with their punishment," Nan Hua replied unhurriedly.

Nan Shu Cheng huffed then leave. He was sure that he wouldn't be able to have any peaceful night with Nan Hua in his residence anymore.

Xiao Yun felt like snorting right now. After learning martial arts, she naturally knew that Nan Shu Cheng were already here for some time but didn't directly walk in because he was watching. He didn't want to walk in because he wanted to have an excuse to refute Nan Hua when things were already bad.

'Miss was really too pitiful.'

If Xiao Yun had a father like that, she would rather run away from home. Being treated like that would only make her hate her father. Yet, she could see Nan Hua's expression was impassive as if there was nothing that could affect her emotion anymore.

Maybe, it was because she never had any expectation for her father.

Not even once.

When there was no expectation, there would be no disappointment. There wouldn't be any feeling no matter what the other party did to her.

Xiao Yun lowered her gaze. "Miss, for tonight, what do you want to eat?"

"Let them cook for today." Nan Hua swept her gaze at the trembling servants in front of her, including the previously cocky head cook. "They're important servants for my father, so they naturally had to work."

In other words: even if they had to crawl back to the kitchen, they had to cook dinner in time.

The kitchen servants all felt like crying. They really wanted to smack themselves just an incense stick of time ago (an hour ago). Why did they choose to mock this young miss in front of them?

Now, they had to work even when they were in this much pain.

And tomorrow, they still have to work because of Nan Shu Cheng's order.

How miserable.

Nan Hua watched as the kitchen servants made their way back to the kitchen while helping each other. 50 beatings were a lot for these 'frail' ladies. Even though the one who give the punishments were only other female servants, it would be painful for them to walk around for the time being.

Slowly, Nan Hua lowered her eyes and tapped the table. "Mu Yan, prepare some tea."

"Yes, Miss."

Mu Yan walked away and returned with the tea.

Thus, Nan Hua sipped the tea unhurriedly while watching the servants cleaned the courtyard. Being watched like that, the servants had no other choice but to work harder.

Neither one of them want to be punished like just now.
