Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Hearing his daughter's words, Fourth Master Mu felt a bit better. Still, he didn't understand why Mu Fei Jiu wanted to get close to Nan Hua so much like that.

Nan Hua passed a look at Mu Fei Jiu. It seemed that acting coquettishly had become the second nature of Mu Fei Jiu. She was always so sweet and caring in front of others but only those who knew her well would know that it was mostly a front.

Her real sweet personality would only be shown to her family members and those whom she was really fond with.

"Jiu'er, have you picked a place to stay?" Nan Hua changed the conversation.

"Yes! Father had bought a detached courtyard that's located at the suburbs. It's not as good as our previous residence, but it will be good enough to stay." Mu Fei Jiu nodded. "Will you take us there, Sister Hua?"

"I will."

Nan Hua knocked the window to tell the destination and the servants acknowledged it without any hesitation.

Fourth Master Mu's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Nan Hua's decisive action and also the behavior of the servants around her. For some reason, he had the feeling that the young girl in front of him was indeed extraordinary.

Those simple actions… had revealed many things in the eyes of those who really understood.

"I hope we wouldn't bother you with this, First Young Miss Nan."

"You won't." Nan Hua nodded.

At this moment, Nan Hua could sense that Mu Fei Jiu had started to write on her palm again. It was an easy method of communication for the two of them since there was no problem at all even if the two of them stuck together like glue. It would only show to outsiders that they were good sisters.

This little lass was really someone who knew how to make use of other people and still put on the innocent front. Her acting was very lifelike and ordinary people will never be able to realize that they had been duped by her.

She didn't even tell her father about her real personality.

Well, it might be for the better that he didn't know. In his eyes, she would always be the sweet girl she was.

'Thank you for everything.'

Nan Hua patted Mu Fei Jiu's hand to answer her sentences. Since Nan Hua had interfered with Mu Fei Xin's fate and also the future of Mu Family, it would be harder for Mu Fei Jiu to truly be ruthless and sacrificed everything. She still has her sister and her father whom she loved so much.

There was no way she would want to put them in danger.

So, there had to be another way for her to be able to put Mu Family down after what they had done to her and her father. In the original story, not a single member of Mu Family survived. But this time, the third family managed to escape because Mu Fei Jiu didn't garner enough evidences.

It was only enough to make him paid a lot and probably lived in poverty for the next few years before their business went back to normal. And with Mu Fei Jiu still watching from a distance, it was hard to say that they would be able to get back on track.

Which was why Nan Hua interfered this time.

It was not much, but it was more than enough to allow things progress similarly to the way it was supposed to be.

"We're here." Fourth Master Mu noticed that they had arrived. The location he picked was not that far from his previous location where they used to stay. However, the place was many times smaller and not in such bustling area like where Mu Family used to reside.

"Father, would you like to check the place first?" Mu Fei Jiu asked with a smile. "I still want to chat with Sister Hua a bit more."

"You can chat inside." Fourth Master Mu paused for a moment. "I'll ask the servants to clean up first."

They hadn't cleaned up after buying this place. Well, basic cleaning was done. However, they hadn't really bought the food necessary and there were not many servants who followed them. At most, there were one to clean up the yard and one to serve them.

After all, they were no longer noble since their titles had been striped. They wouldn't be able to afford having too many servants without any income.

"Be careful, Dad."

After Fourth Master Mu had left, Mu Fei Jiu put down the smile and then turned to look at Nan Hua. She sighed lightly. "I didn't expect you to see me in the palace that day, Sister Hua."

"It's only a coincidence," Nan Hua looked at Mu Fei Jiu and said calmly.

"Whether it's a coincidence or not, I would like to thank you to help me out." Mu Fei Jiu smiled. "Without you, I wouldn't be able to fully eliminate those people from our lives."

Looking at Mu Fei Jiu's appearance, it was really not the words that a mere 11 years old should have been able to say. However, her maturity had long far surpassed her peers and her intelligence allowed her to survive in the place where her father was not favored and her position was low.

Nan Hua nodded.

…

<~back in the palace, where Nan Hua told Emperor Yang Zhou that there was someone who had something that Emperor Yang Zhou would like to have>

"There's someone who would like to meet with you, Your Highness. She has something that you might need."

Emperor Yang Zhou arched his eyebrows. He did talk freely to Long Qian Xing just now, but he didn't expect that the young girl in front of him to actually understand what he was talking about just now.

"Is she here?"

"I believe she is."

Looking at Nan Hua, Emperor Yang Zhou didn't really think that there would be someone whom she knew that might have what he needed. However, he would still give her face since she's Long Qian Xing's fiancée.

"In that case, please lead me to her."
