Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 531 Making A Scene

　　Nan Xin was stunned then stayed silent. This was not the first time her mother said those words to her.

　　In fact, even her friends had often said the same things to her. Now that they were already 13 years old, their discussion had started to expand to the matter regarding their marriage and future. Of course, no one dared to say for sure how their future would be, but they could gossip with each other about it.

　　Nan Xin lowered her head. "Yes, Mother."

　　"Go to have some rest."

　　"Yes, Mother."

　　Concubine Mei looked at her daughter and sighed. Being a concubine daughter herself, she knew how hard it would be for Nan Xin to be able to marry someone decent. Most of the time, children of concubine born would be married to someone who was also of concubine born.

　　There was simply no other way.

　　Shaking her head lightly, Concubine Mei turned her attention to the dress. Hopefully, it was not too late to fix this dress.

　　…

　　Madam Qu's Quarter

　　A servant walked in and bowed towards Madam Qu. "Madam, it's successful."

　　"Good."

　　A pouch was delivered by the maidservant and that servant quickly walked away. She didn't even turn to look at Madam Qu anymore as she rushed to the side door in order to leave Nan Family Residence as fast as possible.

　　Leaning on the chair, Madam Qu was feeling relieved that her small trick went undetected. This also meant that she would be able to watch a good show tomorrow.

　　"Madam, Second Young Master is here."

　　"Ah Xiang, you're here." Madam Qu's eyes lit up.

　　Nan Hou Xiang walked into the courtyard and looked in his mother's direction. His eyebrows arched when he noticed the extremely obvious gloating expression on his mother's face.

　　He understood that whatever his mother did, it was successful.

　　"Congratulation, Mother."

　　"It's all thanks to your idea, Ah Xiang." Madam Qu smiled brightly and beckoned for him to get closer. "Did anything happen today?"

　　"I just got a message from my cousin. He's going to come here tomorrow." Nan Hou Xiang looked at his mother.

　　"Good." Madam Qu smirked. With this, the cast was set.

　　…

　　The next day, Nan Hua had to prepare herself for the banquet. Looking at the list of things that Xiao Yun had prepared, she was a bit speechless. It was just a banquet, was there any need for her to go through the preparation six hours beforehand?

　　It was really hard to be a woman.

　　Nan Hua sat down patiently and let Xiao Yun, Mu Yan, Chu Yue, and Ran did their magic. It didn't take long for them to transform her appearance to even more exquisite than before. Looking at the image in the bronze mirror, it looked like a fairy coming out from the painting, so beautiful and enchanting.

　　"Miss, you're undoubted the most beautiful." Xiao Yun smiled.

　　"That's a bit exaggerated." Nan Hua glanced at the dress she wore. It was a beautiful pink colored dress that had intricate design and some beautiful decoration. One wouldn't be able to look away when their eyes caught onto the dress. It was a modest design, one that would enhance Nan Hua's cuteness as a young girl and allowed people to look more of her youthfulness.

　　The dress was simply tailor made for her.

　　Mu Yan giggled. "That's not exaggerated at all. Don't you know that we all hope to be as beautiful as you, Miss? That way, we won't despise ourselves whenever we look at the mirror."

　　"That's right." Chu Yue nodded in agreement. "Miss is very exquisite, making it hard for one to look away. I even want to be able to stare at Miss all the time."

　　Nan Hua looked at her three servants. "You all have such glib tongue."

　　They all laughed at Nan Hua's response. After finishing some last touch makeup, Nan Hua was ready and walked out of the quarter. In truth, she could already walk out some time ago, but she purposely walked a bit late. She didn't really want to be pushed to get involved in those two's scheme.

　　The play might be interesting to watch, but Nan Hua didn't really have the hobby of watching women fighting with each other.

　　It would be better for her to wait for the matter to escalate further and watched from a distance. Just as she walked out, she could hear the sound of yelling from the back of the main hall where the other concubines were located. With her sharp eyes, she could see that Concubine Mei was crouching on the ground.

　　"Mother!" Nan Xin panicked and rushed to her mother.

　　Madam Qu was looking at Concubine Mei from the side, a laugh escaped from her lips. "Sister, I didn't expect you to wear such thin clothing."

　　Concubine Mei was clutching her clothes and tried to cover up herself. It was only now she realized why Madam Qu wanted her to ask the servants to modify the clothes. The reason was because Madam Qu had planted her spies inside.

　　It destroyed her clothes!

　　With this kind of clothing, it was clear that Concubine Mei would not be allowed to participate.

　　"What are you doing gathering here?" Nan Shu Cheng walked over, his eyebrows creased. He had just felt a bit happy because of his promotion and the fact that many of his friends gave face to him. But now, his backyard was already on fire?*

　　"Shu Cheng, Sister Mei didn't seem to have any appropriate dress." Madam Qu looked at her husband and put on a worried expression. If one didn't know any better, they would think that she was such a caring wife.

　　Nan Shu Cheng's eyes turned cold. He looked at Concubine Mei on the ground. 

　　That gaze caused goosebumps to appear on Concubine Mei's back. She quickly raised her head and replied, "My lord, it's not like this, I…"
