Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 673: Are You Not Tired?

"What are you saying?" Madam Qu was so angry when she heard what Nan Hua said. She felt that this girl really needed to be taught a lesson.         

    

However, Nan Hua was really too lazy to say anything else to Madam Qu. Was there any point in debating with a stupid person? Aside from wasting saliva, it would only waste time.     

Thus, Nan Hua had no interest in talking with Madam Qu. She merely looked in the direction where Nan Shu Cheng stood. After all, she knew for sure that the shadow guard that Nan Shu Cheng placed had seen Qu Yu Nie's servants tried to put the bracelet on Chu Yue.     

But before she could do so, Chu Yue had already smacked her with stick. It caused the servant to be unable to even get close. The bracelet had fallen to the nearby bush.     

Nan Shu Cheng took a deep breath and waved his hand. "Take it out."     

A manservant walked forward and bent down near the bush not far from there. He took out a bracelet and then moved to Nan Shu Cheng, handing it over.     

At this moment, Qu Yu Nie's body was trembling so badly. She knew that if Nan Shu Cheng knew about their tricks, it would be over. She thought that he wouldn't interfere in the slightest bit. But why did things didn't go in accordance to what they want?     

Shouldn't Nan Shu Cheng stay aside and watch as his unloved daughter be in disadvantage?     

Why did he meddle?     

"This…"     

"Are you not tired yet?" Nan Shu Cheng looked at Madam Qu as his eyes turned fierce. There was no sign of love and care that has always been present within his eyes before. All that was left was nothing more than disappointment, anger, and tiredness.     

Probably, all of his love and care had been wasted and thrown to the drain after several attempts from Madam Qu to take him to her side. He was no longer as patient as he used to be.     

"Shu Cheng, I…"     

"If you can't stay quiet, I'll make you do. You're grounded for a month." Nan Shu Cheng then swept his gaze across Qu Family members who came today. "And you all will leave by tomorrow or I won't be polite."     

After saying all of that, Nan Shu Cheng turned around. His words seemed to be like a lightning in a clear day. They though that they would be able to gain something by doing this, but fate played a joke on them.     

Nan Shu Cheng was not willing to follow the script.     

He was tired with whatever these people were scheming. He came home, after a long and tired day, hoping that he would be able to rest properly. But what did he get? Trouble and more trouble.     

If not because there were some guards he had placed around the area, he would have never known what his wife and the others were planning behind his back. How could he possibly have peace when things in his residence was in so much turmoil?     

With hurried steps, Nan Shu Cheng headed to Concubine Su Quarter.     

At the very least, he could have peace when he spent the night with this concubine compared to when he spent the night with Madam Qu.     

"Father, Mother is not doing this on purpose." Nan Hou Xiang stepped forward and tried to salvage the situation. They were already quite far from the others and naturally, his mother couldn't see them.     

Nan Shu Cheng looked at his second son and could faintly recall that it was this brat who seemed to have called the Qu Family over. Did he think that his little tricks would be able to go pass him?     

"Hou Xiang."     

"Yes, Father."     

"I have great expectation of you. Don't waste your time with these women and forget your study."     

Nan Hou Xiang's face paled. He knew that his father was giving him warning because he had interfered in the battle between the women by helping his mother. Raising his head, he could see the cold gaze his father gave to him.         

    

So cold.     

There was no warmth within his eyes as if he was not looking at his son but at a stranger.     

It was the first time Nan Hou Xiang saw his father being so angry towards him. After all, as the beloved son, Nan Hou Xiang was prized greatly by Nan Shu Cheng and treated as the future successor.     

At this moment, Nan Hou Xiang knew that he had angered his father. He gritted his teeth and bowed his head lower. "Yes, Father. I'm sorry."     

"Do you know your mistake?"     

"Yes, Father. I shouldn't have interfered."     

"It's good that you know." Nan Shu Cheng snorted and walked away briskly. He didn't want to spend another moment speaking with these two. They seemed to have grown worse day by day and only knew how to create trouble.     

Nan Hou Xiang clenched his fist as he looked in the direction where his father left. He knew very well that his father didn't want him to interfere with what his mother did and also his father and mother's relationship. But how could he stay silent when his mother kept on breaking down on him?     

How could he possibly stay silent when his own mother was showing her weakness to him and tried to confide in her?     

He can't do that to his mother.     

Turning his body, Nan Hou Xiang could see his mother and the Qu Family retreated. He knew that the Qu Family was unreliable and that they couldn't be trusted to do this thing. If he wanted to help his mother, he had to use different method.     

Looking into the sky, Nan Hou Xiang silently made his resolve. A cruel glint flashed within his eyes.     

If he couldn't rely on others, he would have to rely on himself.     

This time, he would make sure that his mother didn't have to break down and suffer again. There was no way he would possibly let his mother experienced this kind of failure once more.
