Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Grandmother, Brother Long is nice." Nan Hua couldn't help but help Long Qian Xing. She felt that he truly look pitiful being attacked by his grandmother like that all the time. This also made her realize that Old Madam Long's scale in her heart was tilted towards Nan Hua more than Long Qian Xing.

Rather than loving her grandson more, Old Madam Long was instead siding with her future granddaughter in law…

It was indeed something remarkable.

After all, Long Qian Xing was still Old Madam Long's only grandson. Without Long Qian Xing, Old Madam Long would not be able to have any descendant again and the line would be cut in Long Qian Xing's generation.

This would definitely not be something that Old Madam Long wanted in her heart.

"He better be." Old Madam Long snorted.

Long Qian Xing: "…"

Alright, he had already accepted that he was the adopted son in his grandmother's eyes. He wondered what he was supposed to do to change his grandmother's perception about him.

He felt that no matter what he did, there was truly nothing that he could do.

His grandmother's biased greatly to his fiancée.

'In the future… no one will side with me, huh?'

Thinking of Old Master Nan, Nan Hua's twin brother, and Nan Hua's cousins, Long Qian Xing began to feel that these people would definitely side with Nan Hua. With his grandmother siding with Nan Hua too… Long Qian Xing began to think that he was somewhat lonely.

Oh well, whatever, it would be better for her to be pampered.

As a man, he didn't need to be pampered by anyone else but his wife.

*cough*

In the end, Old Madam Long talked for half an incense stick of time with Nan Hua regarding many matters. There were many things that Old Madam Long had long wanted to talk to Nan Hua. Long Qian Xing stood at the side, being ignored by his grandmother and fiancée.

However, there was not a hint of displeasures in his eyes at all.

Instead, he was calm and collected. There was even a hint of indulgence in his eyes when he looked at the two people whom he cared the most in his life.

Even though Old Madam Long kept on dissing him, he knew that his grandmother still cared for him in her heart. It was just that in front of Nan Hua, that scale will definitely tilt towards Nan Hua while he could only enjoy the leftover.

But it was fine for him.

"Grandmother, it's already nearing evening. Old Master Nan will be angry if he didn't see his granddaughter soon," Long Qian Xing reminded. He knew that his grandmother would like to talk to Nan Hua all the time, but he still had to pay attention to proportion.

It was indeed unsuitable for Nan Hua to spend all the time in Long Family Residence when she hadn't been married here. A young lady's reputation in this time is very important and Long Qian Xing had no intention of making trouble for Nan Hua.

"Aiya, it's already this late?" Old Madam Long was surprised. Since she was sleeping due to the treatment, she didn't know how much time had passed. She looked at Nan Hua with a look of pity.

She still wanted to chat more with Nan Hua.

It was much better than her annoying grandson who really liked to create trouble for her.

"Grandmother, I'll come here in the future to talk with you." Nan Hua patted Old Madam Long's hand carefully. There should be still some time in the future that Nan Hua could spare to spend more time with Old Madam Long.

She herself felt comfortable coming here to talk with Old Madam Long.

"Good, good. Do come here." Old Madam Long smiled widely. She's very happy with Nan Hua's words. "I'm so lonely without anyone to accompany me."

Without anyone?

Nan Hua knew that there was still Long Qian Xing beside her, but Old Madam Long seemed to have completely disregarded her grandson. It really felt as if Long Qian Xing had turned into an unwanted child.

Long Qian Xing snorted internally.

His grandmother really treated him as if he was the air when Nan Hua was in front of her. This was no longer the matter of the scale being tilted but rather the table was already overturned.

But Long Qian Xing was also helpless when facing his grandmother.

It seemed that his grandmother was venting her grievances over being left behind in the Capital City without anyone to accompany her.

He rubbed his nose.

In truth, he had prepared another house for Old Madam Long in other cities that would allow her not to stay in this place. However, persuading her would be a bit difficult. He knew how much his grandmother loved this house, especially because this was the residence where she stayed with his grandfather back in the day.

Even if Old Madam Long hated the intrigue in the Capital City, she still wanted to stay in this place for the memories she had.

"Ah Xing, go and escort Hua'er out."

"Yes, Grandmother." Long Qian Xing cupped his fist then looked at Nan Hua. It was only after he saw her nodded did he began to walk towards the entrance. The two of them walked side by side carefully, maintaining their distance. But those who looked at them from behind would feel that they looked compatible with one another.

Behind them, Old Madam Long watched the two children smiled faintly. She really liked looking at the two of them and hoped that they could stay together for their lifetime, supporting each other and being the loving couple.

But that couldn't be forced, so Old Madam Long could only wait patiently as the two of them interacted with each other. It was good enough that the two of them could meet each other before marriage because many other people in this era could only see their spouses on the day of their marriage.

She sighed slightly. She looked at her maidservant. "When Ah Xing is back, tell him to see me."

"Yes, Old Madam."
