Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 513 Sharp Tongued Shangguan Die

　　With Shangguan Die, Nan Hua managed to learn many things regarding tea making. Even though she couldn't really become an expert in one night, her moves were even better now.

　　"Everyone have their own elegance." Shangguan Die chuckled. "Move in the way that's most natural for you as it would exude your charm. The difference might look miniscule, but it'll enhance what other people see from you."

　　Nan Hua nodded. "I understand."

　　Looking at Shangguan Die, Nan Hua could see that it was filled with vigor. If Nan Si Qiao's tea making was considered as an art of that emphasizes on softness and elegance, Shangguan Die was one that emphasizes on speed and energetic. It looked pleasing to the eyes and give off the impression that Shangguan Die was a very playful person.

　　Art didn't only show what was outside, but it also showed what was inside.

　　At the back, Xiao Yun was pleased when she saw this scene. She had been worried that Nan Hua wouldn't be able to have any female friends considering how Nan Hua usually behaved. But looking at the way it is now, Nan Hua could get along with Shangguan Die just well.

　　Though, Xiao Yun was a bit doubtful whether Shangguan Die's personality would be a good news or bad news for Nan Hua.

　　Well, it didn't matter.

　　As long as Nan Hua enjoyed herself, that was the most important matter.

　　"It's close to dinner time." Shangguan Die looked at the darkening sky. "Would you like to stay and have a meal with me?"

　　"I would like to."

　　At this time, Nan Hua stretched her hand and took Shangguan Die's pulse. Sensing that the wound was already recovering well, Nan Hua silently nodded in her head. It would only take a few more weeks before Shangguan Die recovered her looks.

　　Shangguan Die smiled smugly as if saying that those servants wouldn't be able to do anything to her.

　　"First Sister?" Nan Xin walked to the courtyard while calling. She felt miserable right now. After being so frightened, she woke up having to listen to Madam Qu's rambling for more than an incense stick of time. Now that it was almost dinner time, Madam Qu asked her to find Nan Hua to have dinner together.

　　Thankfully, the apprentice monks knew that Nan Hua was visiting Shangguan Die. Even though Nan Xin didn't really want to meet that fiery woman, she still braced herself and walked towards the courtyard.

　　Nan Hua turned in Nan Xin's direction. "What is it?"

　　"Mother asks for you to return so that we can have dinner together," Nan Xin explained while standing at a distance away. She looked at Shangguan Die and nodded timidly. The few times when she was rebuked harshly by Shangguan Die flashed within her mind.

　　Even after falling from her father's grace because of her horrible face, Shangguan Die refused to let herself be wronged by anyone and still be as overbearing as she ever be. Naturally, this caused many ladies to be unwilling to offend her. It was especially so when they saw Shangguan Family was still supporting her.

　　"I have accepted Shangguan Die's request to have dinner together. Please tell Madam Qu that I would not join her during dinner time."

　　Nan Xin was stunned. "But Mother would like…"

　　"Is my words unclear?" Nan Hua asked.

　　"It's clear, First Sister. However, what would Mother say if she know that you eat with other family aside from your family members on your first day outside?" Nan Xin asked, trying to reason.

　　Nan Hua arched her eyebrows and looked at Nan Xin deeply. "Is there any rule that stated I'm not allowed to eat with other people? Also, do you think that First Young Miss Shangguan is such a degraded person to treat me horribly?"

　　"That's…"

　　"I didn't know what you want, Second Young Miss Nan, but I didn't take slander lightly." Shangguan Die furrowed her eyebrows. "Do you really think that I will do something to Nan Hua? I'm not such an evil girl that I will poison someone else like what someone had done."

　　Nan Xin's face turned ashen. How could she not know that Shangguan Die was referring to Madam Qu as someone who would even dare to poison other people?

　　"First Young Miss Shangguan, you…"

　　"Don't try to say that I'm slandering other people when there are already so many words outside." Shangguan Die stood up and walked towards Nan Xin. Even when she was staying in this temple and had already curbed her temper considerably, it would never change the fact that her fiery temper still existed.

　　"Tell your mother that I want to have a chat with Nan Hua and that I'll be eating with her. What qualification does that whoever Qu have to be asking me to take back my invitation for Nan Hua. She's not even Nan Hua's real mother but trying to act as one? Do you know how disgusting her act was?"

　　Nan Hua blinked her eyes. The words Shangguan Die uttered must be the harshest Shangguan Die had ever said in her entire life.

　　This would thoroughly offend Madam Qu and the entire Qu Family.

　　Nan Xin's face was pale. "Mother was… Mother was…."

　　"What? Trying to act as a mother after killing the other party's mother? Do you know what the child will think if she ever knows that the mother who tried her best to raise her was actually the very person who caused her to lose her birth mother?" Shangguan Die laughed. "Don't be a hypocrite. Get back to that person and tell her if she's dissatisfied with this arrangement, she can go and complain to Shangguan Family."

　　Nan Xin really couldn't find any words to retort and could only turned around, her tail tucked behind her back.

　　How could they possibly complain that Shangguan Die was asking Nan Hua to have dinner together. If they complained about this, the Shangguan Family would be offended. They would wonder whether they were such a disgusting human creature that Madam Qu was unwilling to let Nan Family's daughter eat with them.

　　That would definitely cause Madam Qu to be divorced immediately by Nan Shu Cheng if the latter still wanted to be an official.
