Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

But Old Madam Long didn't mind taking this step first because Empress Dowager Mei was targeting Nan Hua. If she had cared more about Long Family, Old Madam Long wouldn't try to interject.

Thus, there was no words needed to say.

Nan Hua understood Old Madam Long's well wishes.

"Thank you, Grandmother."

Old Madam Long chuckled. She looked in the direction where Empress Dowager Mei had left and felt a bit satisfied with her own performance. After all, it was to the point that Empress Dowager Mei had to leave.

Nan Hua thought that it was over when she saw Princess Hu walked in her direction. Inside her heart, she wondered whether her presence erasing skill would have of any use in this place. These people would still try to find her when they were adamant on making things difficult for her.

It was impossible for her to avoid it.

Nan Hua bowed the moment Princess Hu came over. "Nan Hua, First Young Miss of Nan Family, greets Her Highness Princess Hu."

Princess Hu nodded and looked at Nan Hua carefully. She was originally planning on eliminating Nan Hua through making use of Empress Dowager Mei. But Old Madam Long interjected, making it really difficult to approach this young lady.

"You don't have to be so polite in front of me." Princess Hu chuckled. Her eyes glinted slightly when she saw Nan Hua. "First Young Miss Nan, I would like to invite you to my residence someday along with other noble ladies."

Nan Hua was calm. "Your Highness's favor this little one, this little one will remember."

Princess Hu nodded in satisfaction. The first step was to invite Nan Hua along with other noble ladies. As for what would happen later, she would think about it later. Besides, she had to keep up with her image of a sickly lady, so she couldn't possibly hold a banquet so close to each other.

Since she appeared here, the earliest would be two weeks from now.

"I would be interested in your skill, First Young Miss Nan." Princess Hu looked at Nan Hua, her hatred was concealed tightly.

"This little one will try her best to make sure that Your Highness will be satisfied with my meagre skill." Nan Hua didn't choose to refute Princess Hu, but she still acted humble with her skill.

It would be better for her if Princess Hu didn't ask for much.

"Yes…"

At this moment, a young girl came over. She bowed when she saw Princess Hu. "Mu Fei Jiu, Fourth Young Miss of Mu Family, greets Her Highness Princess Hu."

"You don't have to be so polite." Princess Hu narrowed her eyes when she saw the famous little brat from Mu Family.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Mu Fei Jiu stood up and then pointed at Nan Hua. "Has Your Highness finished talking with Sister Hua? I would like to ask for Sister Hua's opinion for me to pick flowers for my Older Sister."

Princess Hu's eyes deepened. She originally wanted to talk more with Nan Hua in order to probe her, but rejecting Mu Fei Jiu wouldn't reflect good on her. Even though Mu Fei Xin, Prince Yang Lu's wife, was already at quite the lower state, she was still the princess consort.

She couldn't afford to offend her.

"In that case, I'll be going first."

"Take care, Your Highness."

Nan Hua watched as Princess Hu was forced to retreat and glanced at Mu Fei Jiu. Her helping Mu Fei Xin was nothing more than a coincidence because she headed there and learned the truth. Since the rebellion was not really caused by Prince Yang Lu and Mu Fei Xin, she chose to save them.

But it ended with her having a little girl helping her around.

Thus, it made people feel that she was really a girl who had to be protected by those around her.

She really wanted to tell Empress Dowager Mei and Princess Hu. 'I'm not really weak, but there are many people who want to protect me.'

Even Nan Hua was helpless when she saw so many people were trying to come to her aid when she didn't exactly need it. Of course, she accepted their well wishes because she knew that it would be beneficial for her to keep a low profile too.

"Thank you, Fourth Young Miss Mu." Nan Hua curtsied.

Mu Fei Jiu giggled. "I didn't do much. You still have a lot to do as I doubt that I'll be invited to that kind of personal tea party."

"I know."

If Princess Hu really invited her for a tea party, Nan Hua already had plan in her mind to deal with her. But of course, it would be better if she didn't have to do anything and merely let others do what they wanted.

The best method to deal with these people was to let them taste their own medicine.

And Nan Hua was planning on letting it happen and only acted when it was absolutely necessary so that she could keep a low profile.

"And I want to thank Nan Family for saving my sister." Mu Fei Jiu lowered her voice as she got closer to Nan Hua. Her eyes watered slightly. "I was so worried about her, but thankfully she's fine."

Nan Hua didn't know how the two sister's relationship was, but she could guess that it was good. Mu Fei Xin did tell her that she would ask for the Mu Family to send helper to help her.

What she didn't expect was that… the support from Mu Family was Mu Fei Xin's little sister?

The two girls chatted a bit more while Old Madam Long seated at the back, watching the two of them. She felt gratified when she saw that Nan Hua had someone else to help her. Even though Nan Hua might be able to finish everything by herself, it would be good to have others helping her.

That way, she didn't have to always be alone.
