Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Hearing that, Shangguan Yi fell silent. He knew that it was impossible for him to talk to his mother. He didn't believe in karma, so he thought that the one who did it must be someone close to him.

"Mother, is it possible for those who are around me to do it?" Shangguan Yi asked in low tone.

Second Madam Shangguan was stunned. She looked at her son and furrowed her eyebrows. "No way! I have already selected the best people from my maternal family to stay close with you. They wouldn't do anything stupid."

Shangguan Yi snorted but he began to feel doubt. If there was no evidence nor traces left behind, it could only mean that someone must have cleaned it up later on. There were only those around him who could possibly do that.

There were several of them.

Should he begin to do investigation?

Knock! Knock!

"First Miss is here."

Shangguan Yi turned his head to the side and saw Shangguan Die walked in. Just like before, Shangguan Die had breathtaking figure. Dressed in light pink dresses, the figure looked like a fairy that descended from the Heaven. She had fair skin and rosy lips while her eyebrows were drawn like willow leaves. Her hair ornaments were all red in color, which gave stark contrast to her black hair.

"Shangguan Die," Shangguan Yi called out. "What are you doing here?"

Even though he was not polite, Shangguan Die didn't seem to care. She walked to their mother and sat down nearby. "Mother, Brother had been the talk of the town for some time. There are a lot of people who are wondering why Young Master Shangguan can be so careless to stay on a horse's path."

Hearing that, Shangguan Yi's dark face turned another shade darker. His sister was a blunt person and even more so in front of him. Being the most beautiful woman in the entire Shangguan Family, Shangguan Die had caught so many people's attention.

Second Madam Shangguan looked at her daughter and sighed. "This is the horse mistake. If not for the horse suddenly went out of control, how is it possible for your brother to be wounded."

Shangguan Die didn't answer and merely smiled. What kind of person her brother was, how could she not be clear? She had been staying with him for her entire life.

Shangguan Yi snorted. "What do you want, Die?"

"Grandfather will return to the Capital City. At that time, he'll surely invite Old General Nan to come here. Wouldn't it be a perfect time for us to clear up the misunderstanding?" Shangguan Die answered unhurriedly. Though, she doubted there was any misunderstanding whatsoever.

Second Madam Shangguan nodded and sighed. "That's a good idea."

Shangguan Die looked at her mother and felt like snorting again. As time passed, her mother's vigor was no longer the same as it was in the past. She grew even more and more docile as time passed, making it hard for her to see things completely.

Shangguan Yi disagreed. "You want to bring this matter up in front of Grandfather? He wouldn't be happy with it."

"Do you have any other idea, Brother?"

"No…"

Shangguan Yi wanted to make Nan Luo admit that he was the one behind the matter but it didn't seem to be possible. Without any suitable evidence, how could it be possible for him to ask the other party to confess?

"Be patience, Brother. If they're the one who did it, wouldn't there be any evidence left?"

"And how do you plan to find it?"

"I don't." Shangguan Die shrugged. "But if they make any mistake during the party, it'll be very obvious."

Shangguan Yi sneered. Forcing them to confess by physiological tactic didn't seem to be feasible in his opinion. He was instead thinking of trying to coerce those annoying brats around him. One of them must have helped Nan Luo to clean up the mess.

Little did he know that the one who did it was not Nan Luo but 'Nan Luo.'

"If it's about the meeting, I might be able to get some help." Second Madam Shangguan bit her lower lips. She knew very well that there was someone whom she could definitely asked for help. However, whether the other party wanted to help her or not was unclear.

"Really?" Shangguan Yi was stunned.

"Yes. I'll try to contact her. Your grandfather could return to the Capital City anytime, so it would be better for us to be prepared."

"Yes."

"Yes, Mother."

…

Nan Luo and Nan Hua's side.

"I already feel much better now." Nan Luo was tired after staying inside the house for a week's time. His legs were already much better. The one month's estimate was completely off since he could already start walking after a week's time.

Nan Hua passed a look at her twin brother. "Don't exert yourself."

"I won't."

"Now that you've recovered, isn't it time for us to have more practice?" Feng Ao Si grinned. He had enough of that intense poison training. If not because their grandfather was watching over them, he would have never agreed to use that poison.

"Grandfather wants us to have interrogation training." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his older brother.

Feng Ao Si's face changed considerably. The training that they hated the most was undoubtedly that interrogation training. Because their grandfather would make them confess of many of their laziness then punish them afterwards.

Of course, in real interrogation, they knew that it would be better to die rather than to survive.

"Uh, can't we just learn how to kill ourselves if we got caught?"

"That would really be a good thing." Nan Luo pursed his lips. "But I don't want to die yet."

The others: "…" true.

Nan Hua looked at the others and chose not to say anything. She was already very familiar with that kind of training.. In fact, the modern world was a bit more inhuman in her opinion since they could use various devices such as liar detection, drugs, and many others.
