Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Madam…."

"It's fine."

Concubine Mu knew very well that her relationship with Nan Hua was nothing more than a transaction. They gave and took what they needed from each other without any other additional burden at the back.

There was no emotional connection nor any other relationship between the two of them.

"Let's go back."

Since this matter had settled, that woman shouldn't make another move anytime soon. That was, unless she wanted to have her authority taken from her. Nan Shu Cheng had been very patient with Madam Qu, so patient that people would wonder whether what he had towards her was actually genuine love.

If it was any other women, Nan Shu Cheng would have long taken the authority to manage the household to someone else. But Madam Qu was still holding onto that position tightly without anyone could possibly take it from her.

A little push was all that Nan Shu Cheng needed to take it over from her.

But so far, Qu Fei Jiao hadn't crossed that line.

Concubine Mu chuckled. Whether the authority was in Madam Qu's hand or other concubines, it didn't matter in the slightest bit for her. All she wanted was to spend her days in peace without anyone bothering her.

…

<Nan Hua's Side>

At this time, Nan Hua returned to her room. She looked at the row of news that her subordinate had gathered for her.

First of all, Zhang Family had been stripped of their nobility.

Zhang Dan Shui was no longer treated as someone who disrespect his parents, but it was that he was lucky to be able to get out. He didn't lash out to any of his family members and merely treated them as strangers.

That was already a very good self control.

Secondly, Zhang Dan Shui was finally back to Heng Xing City. He had no intention of staying in the Capital City when there were still a lot of work in Heng Xing City. As a governor, it was only natural for there to be a lot of work for him.

But the Emperor didn't let him return just like that. There were several more officials who were placed in Heng Xing City. Part of the reason was to monitor him and another was to promote the growth faster.

Zhang Dan Shui was not worried.

He didn't do anything wrong and proceeded everything in accordance to what it was supposed to be.

Aside from Zhang Dan Shui, Nan Hua also noticed some movement in the political part. However, there was nothing that was worth of her attention. With her staying low like this, it was quite unlikely for anyone to even think that she had anything to do with those politicians.

There was also some other news from the palace regarding the Empress Selection process.

Nan Hua was not planning on going there. But looking at the letter that was sent to her, she was silent.

It seemed that she was invited to watch the show in a few days.

The days passed quietly and Nan Hua spent her time embroidering. At the same time, she also received some interesting pieces of news from Shangguan Family.

…

<Shangguan Family>

"What do you mean that you won't let me go there?" a shrill scream could be heard from the main hall.

An Yi, who was drinking tea leisurely, looked in the direction where the shouts came from. After a few days, it seemed that Shangguan Mi's mother heard about her daughter's whereabouts.

The fact that Shangguan Mi was already divorced and thrown out of Long Family Residence had spread. Shangguan Xiao was the one who personally brought the news and even showed them the letter.

Upon seeing what Shangguan Mi did in Long Family Residence without Long Qian Xing being there, Commander Shangguan had a headache. He didn't plan on letting the girl enter the Shangguan Family Residence, so he chose not to bother with this matter at all.

Of course, it was not the same as Shangguan Mi's mother.

She tried hard to find her daughter's whereabouts, feeling anxious about it every single time. Now she found out that this precious daughter of hers was actually sent to the Red District by that prodigal son.

How could she not be angry?

She wanted to kill 'Shangguan Yi' so much and even tried to do so. However, the men around An Yi would naturally protect him. They couldn't possibly let this woman harm the young master of Shangguan Family.

"Let me go! You devil! Ahhhh….!"

Shrill scream could be heard even from a distance away.

At this moment, almost all the servants and even those spies from outside knew what had happened to Shangguan Mi because of the commotion her mother made in Shangguan Family Residence.

It was so chaotic.

An Yi watched from the back, his eyes were cold and indifferent.

"Are you satisfied with this, ah?" Shangguan Mi's mother screamed at An Yi. If only she was stronger, she would have long lunged at him and killed that young man.

"Satisfaction?" An Yi chuckled. "I'm only giving her a taste of what she plans for my sister."

Standing up, An Yi looked at the guards and waved his hand. How Commander Shangguan planned to deal with this woman was not his business. In any case, he would not let her bother him when he finally reached this far.

To only be able to look from a distance as Shangguan Mi caused Shangguan Die to suffer, An Yi had enough.

"What are you talking about… ugh!" Shangguan Mi's mother was dragged by the servants so that she would not bother the young master.

An Yi looked at the woman with icy cold eyes. Shangguan Mi had tried countless times to tarnish Shangguan Die's reputation and caused her to be married to some low ranked servants. If not because he found out and thwarted the attempt, he would have long lost Shangguan Die.

Now that he had the chance to cause Shangguan Mi to suffer the same, why should he refrain from doing it?
