Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Entering the building, Nan Hua acted as if she didn't care about the matter that had just passed. It was as if there was nothing that happened. Nan Hua had just walked around the area and returned just now.

"Miss," Mu Yan called. "Would you like to settle them?"

Nan Hua glanced at the row of servants behind them. She waved her hand. "Send them to the Household Department."

The servants were stunned and quickly kowtowed, trying to plead. But the other servants didn't give them any chance and quickly beaten them all up. It was fine if they were beaten up with stick or anything like that.

But if they were sent back, they wouldn't be able to leave in one piece anymore.

Nan Hua ignored their pleading and sat down inside her room. Her fingers tapped the table unhurriedly. "When Xiao Yun returns, tell me."

"Yes, Miss."

Mu Yan retreated.

Outside the door, Chu Yue smiled faintly. "Sister Mu, I envy you to be able to stay near Miss longer now."

"It's good that we can be useful for Miss." Mu Yan patted Chu Yue's shoulder. "Go back to your duties."

"Yes, Sister Mu."

Chu Yue smiled and glanced in the direction where Madam Qu's Quarter was located. She was sure that before long, there would be another commotion inside because Nan Shu Cheng was angry.

…

Prang!

"What do you think you're doing?" Nan Shu Cheng roared at Madam Qu. He had already instructed all of the servants to leave because he didn't want to let them see this scene. He still needed Madam Qu to hold control over the harem, so if he were to lower her prestige, it would be another chaos.

"I was only trying to arrange…."

"Do you think I'm stupid?!"

Madam Qu's heart dropped when she saw Nan Shu Cheng so angry. She really didn't know what she was supposed to do now that things were already at this point. Her move had already directly offended Kai Family, earning another enemy for Nan Family.

"I already have a lot of enemies. Do you really need to add another one?" Nan Shu Cheng was so frustrated. He had been against so many people who wanted a piece of him in the court. A slight mistake could earn him his demotion. "Call the Qu family or whoever, I don't care. If you don't settle this matter as soon as possible, just you see what I'll give you."

"Shu Cheng!"

"Mark my words, Qu Fei Jiao!" Nan Shu Cheng smashed the nearby items, not caring about what it was. He snorted and walked away, too angry to stay in the same room with his wife anymore.

People always said that marrying was a form of virtue, a good woman would give them good prospect and virtue. In his case, he felt that his career turned to the worst from time to time every single time he interacted with his wife.

Madam Qu stayed still on her place, so angry that she wanted to smash everything.

"Call my brother." Madam Qu looked at the servant with red eyes. She knew that if Nan Family ended up as Kai Family's enemies, Nan Shu Cheng wouldn't forgive her. No matter what she did, she had to make sure that Nan Shu Cheng would never alienated her.

Without his favor, she wouldn't be able to do anything in this residence.

"Yes, Madam."

Madam Qu looked at the table and kicked it before crouching on the ground. Her legs hurt because of that kick just now.

"Damn it! Kai Family is nothing more than a small family! Do you really want to turn Qu Family into enemies just because of them?" Madam Qu sobbed and curled up on the ground, crying.

Outside the door, Nan Hou Xiang wanted to enter but chose not to. He knew that his mother rarely cried so helplessly like this. There was nothing that he could actually do. Whenever this happened, he could only wait at the side.

"The plan fails?" Nan Hou Xiang asked without turning to look at his mother's closest maidservant.

"Young Master, this is what happened." The maidservant iterated what had happened not long ago. She didn't try to exaggerate anything and let Nan Hou Xiang knew the truth right away.

Nan Hou Xiang's eyes turned a shade colder when he heard everything that had happened. If not because of the distinction between male and female, he would have long made a move by himself. But with his status as the second young master of Nan Family, it wouldn't be good for him to meddle with the women's affair.

He walked away from the door. "Help me contact Qu Family. I would like to make a deal."

The maidservant was stunned. Nan Hou Xiang had never tried to do anything by himself because he was still young and his future was uncertain. The young boy naturally wouldn't try to bet on his future and ended up with worse deal when he was still growing like this.

But after he had seen how his mother's state was, Nan Hou Xiang couldn't stay silent anymore.

"Yes, Young Master."

Nan Hou Xiang's eyes glinted. For the sake of his reputation, he couldn't do anything by himself. But it didn't mean that he couldn't do anything because there would definitely be something that he could do in the future.

…

The day passed quietly and the atmosphere in Nan Family grew tenser.

Madam Qu sent some gifts to Kai Family, apologizing for the 'failed engagement.' The Kai Family accepted the gifts, but it was unknown whether they truly forgive Nan Family or not because that incident had already tarnished their reputation.

With Second Young Master Kai's current reputation, it was clear that there wouldn't be many ladies who would dare to accept Kai Family proposal.

It was humiliating for them.

Second Young Master Kai's face was very dark. Even after getting beaten up by his father, he didn't voice any of his complaint and only stayed in his room quietly. His eyes were filled with hatred.
