Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 577 Messy Shangguan Family

　　"He knows his son well and naturally; he knows that the real reason why they didn't tell him is because they didn't want to let him know that he had lost all of his future descendant."

　　Second Commander Shangguan, Shangguan Xiao's second uncle and also Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Die's father, was General Shangguan's younger brother. Different from Second Commander Feng who rise through the ranks by relying on his connection, Second Commander Shangguan had real ability.

　　However, he was just not as good as his older brother, thus he was stuck at 5000 men commander's rank.

　　Second Commander Shangguan only have four children in total, two sons and two daughters. One son and one daughter were the main children while the other two were concubine children.

　　It could be said that his descendants' fates were very pitiful.

　　His first son, Shangguan Yu, ended up becoming a cripple because he was of concubine born and got caught in some schemes when he was young.

　　His second son, Shangguan Yi, had died during the battle a few years prior and the one who was currently in his residence was nothing more than a substitute prepared by Shangguan Die and her mother.

　　It could be said that his identity lived on, but his real self had long died. But there wouldn't be many people who actually miss Shangguan Yi considering his bad reputation in the Capital City and the fact that he was such a lazy young master.

　　His first daughter, Shangguan Die, was disfigured and currently unwanted by everyone. At this moment, she was staying at Yi Shang Temple and avoided everyone's eyes. Her future was still very uncertain.

　　His second daughter, Shangguan Mi, failed so miserably in her scheme and ended up as Long Qian Xing's concubine. In fact, it was clear that Shangguan Mi would be kicked out the moment Long Qian Xing returned to the Capital City.

　　Shangguan Xiao had known Long Qian Xing for a long time, so he naturally could guess Long Qian Xing's plan. Knowing that it was Shangguan Mi's mistake, Shangguan Xiao had no plan to help the other party.

　　He was not close with his cousins anyway.

　　"What's his real name?" Long Qian Xing asked.

　　"An Yi. He's Shangguan Die and Shangguan Yi's childhood friend." Shangguan Xiao passed a glance at Long Qian Xing. "For my Second Uncle's sake, I hope that you will not kill Shangguan Mi."

　　"I have no plan to kill her. I can't say the same for your other cousins, though."

　　Shangguan Xiao sighed and rubbed his forehead. "You're right. It's just a bit too messy in their residence."

　　He didn't know things too deeply about the people in his second uncle's residence. But after living close by for so many years during his childhood, it was impossible for him to know nothing about them.

　　The people there were really….

　　Shangguan Xiao didn't know how to describe it, but he only felt that the people there were showing their blades towards the wrong person. Rather than trying to eliminate Shangguan Family's enemies, they were pointing their blades towards their own siblings and caused a lot of chaos.

　　If not because of Shangguan Family's prestige and also Second Commander Shangguan's position in the army, they would have long lost their face and honor.

　　Long Qian Xing passed a look of pity to Shangguan Xiao, but he had no intention of helping them.

　　Shangguan Xiao also had no intention of asking Long Qian Xing's help in regards to his second uncle's problematic problem. He himself didn't know how to help them because of his current position.

　　"I hope you won't spread this matter."

　　"I have no such intention. However, I'm surprised that Second Commander Shangguan allowed this matter to stay hidden and continued to happen in his residence." Long Qian Xing looked at Shangguan Xiao.

　　Shangguan Xiao thought for a moment before sighing. "He's Shangguan Die's lover."

　　Long Qian Xing was speechless.

　　He felt as if he had just heard the worst joke in the world from his friend Shangguan Xiao. His eyes were looking at Shangguan Xiao incredulously.

　　"…If he took Shangguan Yi's identity, it will be impossible for them to be together."

　　"But if he didn't take it, he can't even stay near her." Shangguan Xiao let out a faint laugh. "They really think that they're the smartest people but they're actually very stupid."

　　"Are you going to help them?"

　　"No."

　　Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows when he heard Shangguan Xiao's decisive words. He thought that this young man would care about his cousins and their fate, but it seemed that he had no such intention.

　　Shangguan Xiao looked at Long Qian Xing and smiled. "What benefit would it bring me to help them? They're just going to pester me and trouble me with more things. Besides, I would rather let those two fight it amongst themselves."

　　"What a strange method of raising children." Long Qian Xing shook his head and turned around.

　　It was Shangguan Xiao's turn to be speechless.

　　"What raising children? I'm just their cousin and not their mother!"

　　"I never said you're their mother."

　　"Then…"

　　"But it looked like you're the one who raised your siblings considering that the Shangguan Family have a lot of blockhead people." Long Qian Xing laughed lightly.

　　Shangguan Xiao couldn't refute that.

　　Amongst the younger generation, he always felt that he was somewhat different from the other members of his family. Not only he could use his brain better, but he always felt that his older brother and cousins were stupid.

　　They could use their strength and their brain together to make smoother path for their future.

　　Yet, his older brother was mostly using his fist.

　　Thankfully, Shangguan Xian was born with natural strength and still had some capabilities in leading the soldiers. If not for those, Shangguan Xiao would have long asked their father to find some trusted strategist to take care of his older brother just like what General Feng did to his first son.
