Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 457 Conversation

"Ah Die!"

"I'm going back, Mother."

Shangguan Die tugged the blanket closer and walked to the side path. Not long before her, Nan Hua had also walked towards this path and as she had expected, she could see Nan Hua stood there as if waiting for her.

She pursed her lips. "Sorry, I didn't expect Her Highness to interfere."

Her plan was originally simply to destroy Shangguan Mi's reputation by making her looked as someone who coveted someone else's fiancé. However, things didn't go in accordance to her plan because Shangguan Mi ended up becoming Long Qian Xing's concubine.

Neither of the two were of age, yet they were already being pushed together.

Empress Dowager Mei was truly something.

"It's fine." Nan Hua was calm. She had noticed the ruthlessness in Long Qian Xing's gaze, so she knew that Shangguan Mi wouldn't be able to live well in Long Family Residence. "Her life will be worse there."

"Really?" Shangguan Die was skeptical. She took a deep breath. "Well, it didn't matter. I have someone else who will help me to cause trouble for her when she come out of Long Family Residence. I'll ruin her."

When she was saying the last sentence, Shangguan Die's eyes were burning in hatred. It was clear that everything Shangguan Die had has been taken away from her by Shangguan Mi.

The only reason why Shangguan Family hadn't given up on her was because her mother still hoped for her to marry someone powerful. Her mother came from a small family whom her father helped at the frontline. If not because she hoped that Shangguan Die could bring her more honor, she would have long given up on her daughter.

And even though Shangguan Die knew her mother was like that, it was also the truth that she had cared for Shangguan Die. At the very least, there was not even a time when Shangguan Die felt wronged in the Shangguan Family Residence.

She's the main daughter, the legal miss.

The servants respected her. At least, they did before the incident that completely destroyed her future.

As for her father?

He didn't even want to see her anymore after being scared when he saw her destroyed face. Even though he tried to act like he was fine with it, Shangguan Die couldn't forget his expression when he saw her face for the first time.

"I see." Nan Hua didn't try to interject. She merely listened calmly.

"You can go against her if you want since she took something that belong to you." Shangguan Die waved her hand.

Belong to her?

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. She had never thought of getting married to Long Qian Xing. In fact, she was actually waiting for the female lead to appear since he would meet her in a few more months and fall for her. At that time, her position as his fiancée would only be a hindrance for their love story.

Probably, it was because of this she also didn't care that much whether Shangguan Mi succeeded or not.

However, if Shangguan Mi tried to go against her when she paid a visit to Long Family Residence later, she didn't mind teaching that girl a lesson. Even if it meant that she had to use a bit of her skill, it didn't matter that much.

That little girl wouldn't be able to harm her.

"If you do need help, I can teach her another lesson before she departed."

"There's no need."

Shangguan Die stared at Nan Hua, feeling rather confused. But then she thought that Nan Hua would want to take care of Shangguan Mi by herself.

If that was the case, then it was fine.

"I'll be going to Yi Shang Temple in a while. I hope that you can pay a short visit there to look at my face." Shangguan Die touched her face. Without the veil, the garish scars on her face was very visible. It caused deep impression to whoever was looking at her face.

Most people had already seen her face before this, so Shangguan Die didn't care that much.

Their reaction was no longer as big as it was before.

"I understand." Nan Hua had basically agreed to help treating Shangguan Die's face. She had some knowledge regarding medicines, but Shangguan Die's wound had been quite long and it was deep. It would take a long time for her skin to fully heal and helped her to regain her name as the most beautiful woman.

Shangguan Die smiled. "Thank you, Miss Nan. I'll deliver my thanks to you later."

"Mhm."

Nan Hua nodded and continued to walk. She had no interest to stay in that banquet after that episode, mainly because she didn't want to go against Princess Hu openly. If she stayed there, she was sure that there would be a clash sooner or later.

…

Meanwhile, inside the main hall.

Old Master Nan's face was dark when he listened to what had happened. He felt that wherever Nan Hua went, there were bound to be trouble following her and sure enough, even a princess and the Empress Dowager was going against her.

Beside Old Master Nan was another old man who had robust body. Despite his hair had turned completely white, he still exuded the powerful aura of someone who belonged to the battlefield.

"Old Nan, it seems that my descendants are causing troubles again." The old man sighed.

Old Master Nan snorted. "If you already know that, why don't you do something about your little granddaughter?"

"My bad." The old man, Old Master Shangguan, sighed.

He had thought of coming back to the Capital City for a long time but with the loss of his old friend, he didn't feel like returning. The Capital City was the place where he used to gather with Old Master Long and Old Master Nan.

Now that he spent a decade without returning, the condition of his household was so dire that it was unimaginable.
