Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 420 Conversation with Mu Fei Xin

"Your Highness?"

Mu Fei Xin didn't answer immediately as she paid close attention to Nan Hua's expression. She had met with so many other nobles and after she got married to Prince Yang Lu, there were various reaction. Some of them supported her while some others despised her and blatantly went against her.

She didn't exactly have good time together with many other noble ladies.

There were also some who were calm when facing her. After all, there were also those who were taught to keep neutral ground by their parents. But this was the first time Mu Fei Xin saw someone like Nan Hua who was so calm and composed as if this matter had no relationship whatsoever with her.

While she didn't show any disrespect, it seemed as if Nan Hua didn't even care about her position. The way she looked at her was so calm without revealing anything.

For the first time, Mu Fei Xin felt that she was meeting with someone who was of the same status as her.

But it was impossible.

'The unremarkable daughter of Nan Family?'

Recalling the rumors that was swirling in the Capital City, Mu Fei Xin wanted to scoff at whoever spreading that rumor. She knew very well that after meeting with Nan Hua, she would never believe that rumor anymore.

While Nan Hua could act unremarkable, she understood that this girl was anything but ordinary.

"Do you know why Nan Family is willing to help us out?" Mu Fei Xin changed her question.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "We're not helping you, Your Highness."

"But…"

"We're doing our duty as soldiers of Fei Yang Kingdom."

Mu Fei Xin was stumped for a moment before understanding what Nan Hua said. The Nan Family was a military family, excluding those who were currently in the Capital City, and they naturally would not stay idly when there was someone who started a war in Fei Yang Kingdom.

It was only natural for them to make a move in order to make sure that Hai Family would not succeed.

It was only a 'coincidence' that they helped them.

"I see. Thank you for enlightening me, Young Miss Nan."

Nan Hua arched her eyebrows. The way Mu Fei Xin greeted her seemed to be telling her that she would not regard the concubine daughter of Nan Family as part of Nan Family.

"I didn't do anything worthy of your thanks, Your Highness."

Mu Fei Xin chuckled. "Did your Aunt taught you to speak so politely? You don't have to be so afraid of me."

Looking at the princess consort in front of her, Nan Hua was silent. She wanted to say that she was not afraid, but she only followed the etiquette to avoid trouble. After all, she was taught to stay as ordinary as possible in order to be able to do whatever she was tasked to do.

If she was too outstanding, she would only attract unwanted attention.

If she was too poor, she would also attract unwanted attention.

Thus, being average was something that had been engraved to her bones when it came to act in front of others. Of course, her real skill was at the top because she would not let her lack of skill hindered her mission.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Mu Fei Xin: "…" Forget it if you still want to act that way.

She thought for a moment. "I can't stay here for a long time. Do you have something that you wish to ask me before I leave?"

Nan Hua thought about it for some time. She hadn't known Mu Fei Xin for a long time because she had only met with the other party for a very short period of time. However, she had understood that Mu Fei Xin was not ordinary.

What she was a bit curious about was Mu Fei Xin's decision back then.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry at the question I'm going to ask." Nan Hua decided to just ask it. It was not like she was hiding the fact that she was not an ordinary lady in front of Mu Fei Xin because she would need to interact with her from time to time in the future.

"Please speak freely. I won't be angry."

"May I ask why are you always loyal to His Highness?" Nan Hua asked.

In the main hall before, she had seen that Mu Fei Xin always stood beside Prince Yang Lu. Even if it meant her death, she didn't waver and continued to stick with him. It was as if she had fallen in love with him.

But from looking at the way Mu Fei Xin gazed at Prince Yang Lu, Nan Hua knew that it was not the case. They were not an ordinary couple and the so called feelings between them was rather shallow.

Even if there was any, it was not that deep.

Mu Fei Xin was silent for a moment before chuckling. "Do you hear it from the others?"

"En."

"It's not like we act that way on purpose." Mu Fei Xin lowered her gaze slightly. "His Highness needs my family and I need him to support me."

In other words, they needed each other.

Even though Mu Fei Xin didn't say it out loudly, Nan Hua seemed to be able to perceive what this Princess Consort wanted to say through her eyes.

'His fate will be my fate from the moment we're tied in marriage. Even if I don't fully love him nor agree with what he did, I will be his closest supporter.'

It was impossible for women to stand by themselves in this era. Well, it was nearly impossible as there were only some rare cases in which women could fend for themselves. But most of the time, they had to depend on their man.

Because of this, Mu Fei Xin would always support Prince Yang Lu.

Even if she didn't love him, as long as he respected her and continued to keep her safe, she would give her all to him.
