Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

The two arrived in Old Madam Long's Quarter.

Just like what Long Qian Xing said, it didn't take long for Old Madam Long to wake up and saw her grandson with Nan Hua. She blinked her eyes before smiling widely, happy that her grandson had decided to let her stay.

"Ah Xing, did you wait for long?"

"Grandmother is not feeling well, as your grandson, it's my duty to wait upon you." Long Qian Xing took the bowl of medicine. It was still warm and handed it to Old Madam Long. "Grandmother, please drink your medicine."

Sensing the rich smell of the medicine, Old Madam Long frowned almost immediately. These were all the combination of medicines that she hated a lot. Not hated because of the effect but because of the taste.

It made her recall her old friend, Traveling Doctor Liu.

"This medicine… is this given by Apprentice Doctor Luo?" Old Madam Long asked weakly.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows when he saw Old Madam Long's reaction. He knew very well that she didn't want to drink the medicine when she smelled it. After all, she knew that it tasted very bitter.

The more bitter the medicine, the better it would be.

That was how his grandmother always told him. But when it came to drinking her own medicine, Old Madam Long would usually refuse to drink it. It was to the point that Long Qian Xing was a bit speechless by his grandmother sometimes.

"Apprentice Doctor Luo prepared the prescription, but it's Hua'er who prepared the medicine. Now, please drink the medicine, Grandmother." Long Qian Xing smiled warmly.

Old Madam Long originally wanted to lash out, but she swallowed all of the words she was about to utter. Since it was Nan Hua who prepared the medicine, how could she possibly threw it out?

She couldn't bear to.

In the end, Old Madam Long drank the medicine begrudgingly. The bitter taste exploded within her mouth, causing her to crease her eyebrows.

She really hated this.

Long Qian Xing smiled warmly when he saw his grandmother being obedient. There were times when his grandmother didn't want to drink medicine because of the taste. It seemed that he had to ask Nan Hua to prepare other medicines when his grandmother didn't want to drink any.

It was indeed the most effective method.

At the back, Nan Hua was speechless.

Why did it seem… a bit different from the original story?

From the way it looked like, Nan Hua knew that Old Madam Long agreed to drink the medicine because she was the one who prepared it. However, in the original story, the relationship between Old Madam Long and Nan Hua was not this good.

It was not like their relationship was bad, but they were not as close as this.

And the original Nan Hua still followed the strict etiquette when she was facing Old Madam Long without breaking any. But when Nan Hua was facing Old Madam Long, it was clear that Old Madam Long didn't want her to follow the protocol so much.

'What else did I actually change?'

At this moment, Nan Hua really didn't know just how many things that she had changed to cause so many butterfly effect like this. Even though she had tried to act the same as the original Nan Hua at first, it seemed that things didn't go in accordance to the way she wanted to.

There were too many changes that she knew that the novel had long become so unreliable. The one whom she could depend should be her own abilities and the people she had gathered for a long period of time.

"Hua'er, your medicine is good." Old Madam Long resisted the bitter taste and drank water. Afterwards, she praised Nan Hua generously.

Long Qian Xing resisted the urge to roll his eyes because he knew that Old Madam Long actually wanted to curse out loud regarding how bitter the medicine was. But since Nan Hua was in front of her, she was trying to keep her image.

It was just…

Nan Hua had already seen her fighting against Old Master Nan, alright?

There was really no need to keep the image.

"Grandmother praised too much. This one only prepared the medicine in accordance to the recipe prepared." Nan Hua curtsied.

Old Madam Long smiled faintly when she saw Nan Hua's politeness. There were too many other women who acted as if they did nothing when they did something good. However, they would always try to get something.

But Nan Hua was different.

Even though it was clear that she had helped her, Old Madam Long knew that Nan Hua was genuinely telling her that it was nothing. And it was this indifference that made her feel that Nan Hua was really a good young lady.

"How great would it be if you can enter Long Family household earlier." Old Madam Long lamented.

Nan Hua's lips twitched a bit. She was only 13 years old, Old Madam Long. Even if she wanted to enter Long Family Residence, it was fine to wait until she had reached of age, right?

There was no need to be in such a hurry to allow her to enter Long Family Residence.

Old Madam Long narrowed her eyes and looked at her grandson.

She felt that her grandson was truly useless.

"Hua'er, don't bother with Long Qian Xing too much. He didn't know much about women and might not be able to accompany you all the time." Old Madam Long didn't mind dissing her own grandson.

Long Qian Xing took a deep breath and silently wondered whether it would be possible to ask for a change in grandparents. He felt that his grandmother's dislike towards him had been amplified greatly lately. It was to the point that he wondered what did he do wrong to make his grandmother dissed him so much.

He didn't even do anything, okay?

Was it his fault that he couldn't age a few years overnight?
