Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"I never send them anything important! Where can I even touch them?"

"Who knows what you have done behind my back." Nan Shu Cheng looked at his second wife with disgust. The very person whom he used to love so much had now become the very person whom he didn't want to see in the slightest bit.

He took a step back and shook his head.

There was no point in arguing with Qu Fei Jiao anymore.

This stupid woman was being used by her brother, yet she didn't even know that and instead kept on sending things that could bring her own doom. The same stupid woman who used to hold his heart tightly, making him see the world with colored tinted glasses.

Nan Shu Cheng felt that the world was mocking him right now.

Mocking him for falling for such a stupid woman.

"I didn't do it!" Qu Fei Jiao screamed, yelling in both sadness and desperation. She knew that Nan Shu Cheng was serious, but it was also because of this that she felt sad and desperate.

Why does no one ever trust her anymore?

The past few months in Nan Family Residence had been very difficult and continued to tire her mentally and physically. She already felt like going crazy because of the things that had happened for the past few months.

And now Nan Shu Cheng actually came to her and told her that Qu Family was making use of the Nan Family?

She felt that it was impossible.

Qu Family will never do that.

"You didn't do it? Aside from you, who else could possibly pass on the information? Oh, you're going to start with your servants doing it without your knowledge again, huh?" Nan Shu Cheng spat out coldly.

It was the tricks that Qu Fei Jiao had done countless times in the past. Whenever there was something that she did, but she didn't want to admit it herself, she would push her servants to the front and let them bear the brunt of the problems.

As a person who knew what his second wife was thinking, Nan Shu Cheng simply followed her game.

He had no interest in the drama that Qu Fei Jiao staged again and again in front of him as it felt nothing more than a waste of time. For Nan Shu Cheng, Qu Fei Jiao was simply a woman he could use when he wanted to.

As long as he kept her happy, it was good enough.

She will still listen to his words obediently without questioning anything. And being with Qu Fei Jiao often made him feel the superiority that he liked the most. After all, as a man, he wanted to be better and had a sense of power over others.

Qu Fei Jiao knew this well.

She made Nan Shu Cheng feel that she needed his protection and was willing to serve him in the way he liked it.

But times had changed.

With the passage of time, the troubles that Qu Fei Jiao created far exceeded the benefit she could give Nan Shu Cheng. And this traitor's incident was simply the last blow that was needed to completely cut off the last bit of feelings that Nan Shu Cheng had for Qu Fei Jiao.

Because of her, he could even lose his life.

He didn't even know how deep Master Qu was involved with the information exchange with other kingdoms. But if it was to the point of exchanging military information, Nan Shu Cheng knew very well that it was impossible for him to stay alive.

The punishment for traitors was very severe.

It was to the point of direct execution.

"I didn't…." Qu Fei Jiao didn't know what else she should answer.

She never passed any information about Nan Shu Cheng to her brother. The one who did it should be her servants because she didn't know anything about this matter.

But looking at the gaze given by Nan Shu Cheng to her, her body froze.

At this moment, she could see that there was no longer any affection left in Nan Shu Cheng's eyes when he looked in his direction.

In the past few months, she had seen that even though Nan Shu Cheng was angry, he still felt heartache, and there was still affection in his eyes. After all, there was no way that Nan Shu Cheng would completely hate her.

But at this point, Qu Fei Jiao realized that she was wrong.

A person's patience has a limit.

And Nan Shu Cheng's limit had been crossed by Qu Fei Jiao, so there was no way that Nan Shu Cheng could give any affection to her anymore.

Her body trembled.

Nan Shu Cheng looked at Qu Fei Jiao with disappointment and anger. By this point, there was no longer any love and affection in his eyes when he looked in her direction anymore.

All that was left was anger and disappointment.

He couldn't believe that the person whom he used to trust and loved so much would be the very person who dug his grave and made him jump inside.

It felt painful.

Nan Shu Cheng took a deep breath and walked away. He didn't want to see Qu Fei Jiao anymore.

All the feelings he had for her had long been exhausted. The beautiful memories and wonderful smiles she used to give him were nothing more than the past. He could no longer feel the slightest bit of affection towards Qu Fei Jiao anymore.

He's tired.

Very tired.

Bang!

As Nan Shu Cheng walked away, Qu Fei Jiao felt that she had lost her strength and dropped to the ground.

She knew that she had lost.

At this moment, she could only think about the gaze that Nan Shu Cheng gave her. It was the same gaze she had seen Madam Nan give to Nan Shu Cheng. The gaze that no longer contained any so called affection anymore.

She was happy when she saw that gaze back then.

Because she understood that from that moment, there was no way that Madam Nan would be her competitor anymore to compete for Nan Shu Cheng's love. She had stepped back because she didn't care about such matters anymore.

And the same gaze was now given to her.

Tell her, was it karma?

Qu Fei Jiao clutched her chest, feeling the pain from the bottom of her heart. She loved Nan Shu Cheng so much that she was willing to do anything for him. But it was this feeling of hers that was being used.

Being used by her brother.

Being used by the man whom she loved the most.

Now things had developed this way…

There was nothing that she could do anymore.

Thud!

In normal times, the maidservants would be trying to help her stand up because the ground was cold and dirty. But at this moment, everyone was trying their best to digest the words that Nan Shu Cheng yelled at them.

Traitors?

Does it mean that they were all now considered as traitors?

The servants' faces were pale as they thought about this. They might not have much affection towards the Fei Yang Kingdom, but this was still the kingdom where they were born and raised.

But because their masters had become traitors, they were also dragged down?

Their expression was really bad right now.

Drop!

Tears streamed out of Qu Fei Jiao's eyes. She was no longer the glamorous madam of the Nan Family anymore. After the repeated battle and many others in Nan Family Residence, she looked old and thin.

Being grounded here and having her meals and salary controlled by others, she had been living miserably all these times.

Now, she was told that she was actually a family of a traitor.

Tell her, how could she hold her head high in the future?

The matter of love and affection was no longer important because Qu Fei Jiao knew that her own brother was the one who had dug a grave big enough for all of them.

So big that there was no way to cover it anymore.

Even though there were cases of people moving from one kingdom to another, it was under the premise that they were only moving for the sake of business or because of their relatives.

But traitors were not looked upon highly.

If they could betray their own kingdom, doesn't it mean they could also betray other kingdoms?

And if Qu Fei Jiao kept on staying in the Fei Yang Kingdom as a traitor's family, could she even stay alive?

Would the Fei Yang Kingdom be so kind to them?

The war between the six kingdoms had always been fierce and traitors were deeply looked down upon no matter where they were.

Thus, Qu Fei Jiao cried.

For the first time in her life, she felt utterly helpless. There was truly nothing that she could do right now but wait for her inevitable end.

Outside the gate, Nan Hou Xiang stood there stiffly. He felt as if he had just heard the end of the world was coming.
