Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"I never know that the Shangguan Family and Nan Family have such good relationship." Nan Luo gnashed his teeth when he saw the content.

Xiao Yun was already on the verge of crying. If she had to be honest, ever since they came to the Shangguan Family Residence, she already wanted to cry so much. However, she couldn't possibly leak out her real feelings, so she tried to hold back.

The bamboo strip showed that she was given two choices.

One, betray her Miss so that her parents would be able to live.

Two, not following the instruction and her parents would be killed.

Nan Hua furrowed her eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai. "Ask them to go faster."

"Yes."

With two lives on the line now, they knew that they couldn't possibly delay any longer. Nan Luo was looking at Xiao Yun, finally realizing why this servant looked very nervous today and even wanted to cry many times.

"What did they specifically instruct for her to do?" Feng Ao Si was confused when he saw the words on the bamboo strips.

The others were speechless. Even when the instruction was so clear like this, this young master still didn't understand?

"They want Hua'er to stay in the main hall." Nan Luo's eyes were cold. With everyone wanted to watch the performance, it was clear that the main hall would be empty. It meant that the only one who stayed there would be Second Madam Shangguan and Shangguan Die.

They could easily frame Nan Hua since they were in Shangguan Family territory.

What a good family.

"The second family didn't seem to be such a good family." Feng Ao Kuai chuckled, his eyes turned cold. He looked outside and noticed that they were already at the gate. "We might not make it in time."

Nan Hua furrowed her brows. She could easily get out of the carriage but it would blow her cover of not having learned martial arts. It would be impossible for her if someone else got a hold of this secret.

"Uh…"

Hearing the words, tears streamed out of Xiao Yun's face. She didn't know what she should feel. When she received the letter from Concubine Qu, she had been utterly conflicted. After all, she knew very well that if she didn't follow the order, her parents would be killed.

What was she supposed to do in that situation?

She was thinking hard for the past few days and couldn't bring herself to betray her young Miss. In the past, she was the one who had watched as Nan Hua had to strive in that Nan Family. How could she bring herself to see her suffer again?

She couldn't do it.

But her family members were also in danger.

"Miss, I'm sorry."

"You didn't do anything wrong." Nan Hua had seen that even though Xiao Yun was under heavy pressure, she didn't give in and do what Shangguan Die told her to do. She looked outside and pondered whether there would be enough time or not.

Feng Ao Kuai also knew that time was tight. Those people would surely figure out a method to tell the others should the plan failed.

"Hua'er, do you want me to ride horse to go first?" Nan Luo then suggested.

"Xiao Yan, you lead."

Xiao Yan was stunned when he heard the sudden order but he nodded. He helped Nan Luo to jump off the carriage to the horses as he led the young master into the forest. He was taller and older than Nan Luo, so he was the one riding the horse with Nan Luo in front of him, holding the horse tightly.

"Young Master, please hold on tightly."

Nan Luo nodded. It was then he sensed that there was something wrong. "Xiao Yan, are you not worried?"

"I'm worried." Xiao Yan was silent for a while as he maneuvered the horse with Nan Luo's help. "But not as much as Yun'er."

Hearing that, Nan Luo blinked. He turned his head and saw Xiao Yan's eyes. Rather than worry, there was only coldness in his eyes. It looked as if he would not care what happened to his parents in the slightest bit.

Nan Luo then turned his head to the other side, not knowing what he was supposed to feel at this time.

…

Nan Family Residence

Concubine Qu looked at the bamboo strip in her hand and the smile on her lips froze. She tossed it to the side. "To think that the small fries who I plant all this time didn't even do her job properly. Ask them to burn the place."

"Yes, Madam."

Concubine Qu stood up and walked towards the window. She glanced in the direction of Shangguan Family and sneered. Nothing happened in the end because the Second Madam Shangguan failed to even make Nan Hua sat down and eat together with them.

The young girl never even touched the food.

This made her a bit vexed.

"Losing another piece, huh? Well, I would like to see how you're going to use that pair of annoying siblings."

In the past, it was Concubine Qu who arranged for both Xiao Yun and Xiao Yan to stay near Nan Hua and Nan Luo. Their mother didn't have any right to complain and could only watch from the side.

However, she didn't really like that pair of sibling.

Even when they were in this place, they kept on hindering her when she was trying to achieve her goal. The older sibling was even worse. Even when she was threatening with his parents, he never budged and looked even colder.

Since she couldn't control them, she was planning on eliminating them. However, Nan Luo rarely stayed at home, so she couldn't do anything.

As for the young girl, she thought that the timid girl would follow her order. But it turned out that she was also quite headstrong.. She refused even under that severe threat.
