Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 795: Truth

No matter how cold their relationship in the past was, they would always call each other with brothers or sisters or something like that. At the very least, they would not call each other by their full name directly.         

    

But this time, Shangguan Mi felt that Shangguan Yu was somewhat different.     

Thinking of the news she heard about Shangguan Yu becoming a prince, she felt that her half brother had become inflated. Even though he was a titled prince, he was still nothing more than a cripple.     

Shangguan Yu pointed to the chairs and table in front of him. "Take a seat. I believe that you haven't lost your ability to write, have you, Shangguan Mi?"     

Shangguan Mi looked at her half brother suspiciously, but she still sat down obediently. In fact, she felt that it was really difficult for her to read Shangguan Yu after not seeing each other for a long period of time.     

Even though Shangguan Mi didn't learn as much as the males, she still could read and write.     

After all, it was important for them to be literate.     

The noble ladies were even more so because they had to manage the account in their husband's house. How were they supposed to deal with the account and so on if they were illiterate?     

It would be impossible.     

Sitting down, Shangguan Mi looked at Shangguan Yu and then wrote on the bamboo scrolls that had been prepared in front of her. After losing her tongue, this was the only way for her to communicate with others.     

"What do you want?"     

"I'm actually very curious." Shangguan Yu looked at Shangguan Mi and then asked bluntly, "Why do you hate Fei Yang Kingdom so much?"     

Shangguan Mi looked at Shangguan Yu and sneered. She wrote down, "I don't hate Fei Yang Kingdom."     

"You don't hate Fei Yang Kingdom, but you're willing to provide information in regards to Shangguan Family to spies. It seems that you've been bolder, Shangguan Mi."     

Shangguan Mi's hand stopped.     

She couldn't speak, so the only possible way for her to leak out the news was through the method of writing. That was why there were pieces of evidence left behind of her handwriting and also the marks that could only come from here.     

At first, Shangguan Yu felt that his half sister shouldn't be that stupid.     

Unexpectedly, she had started to lose her sharpness and intelligence after staying in this place for a long period of time.     

Shangguan Mi was silent.     

And Shangguan Yu didn't expect his half sister to admit it. The pieces of evidence were conclusive and Shangguan Yu would never want to be dragged into the mud by these stupid family members of his.     

After he had obtained the status necessary for him to build his power and influence, how could he let them drag him down?     

He had slowly distanced himself from those people of the Shangguan Family who only wanted his power after he became a prince. Only a few of them were still interacting with him because they had never done anything bad to him.     

And it was also through them that he found out about Shangguan Mi's influence.     

He thought that after Shangguan Yi sent Shangguan Mi to this place, she would no longer be able to create trouble. But he was wrong.     

Her ability to create trouble was so strong that even in this situation, she was able to make a lot of trouble for other people.     

"It's interesting."         

    

Shangguan Mi frowned.     

"I finally cleaned up the residence and even found out what your mother had been scheming in the dark. At the same time, I found out that you have always been instigating hatred between the rest of us the siblings to the point that the youngest brother had died many years ago." Shangguan Yu chuckled with a mocking expression, yet his eyes were cold.     

The siblings used to have a good relationship.     

And there were actually more than four people in Shangguan Family back then, but the youngest child passed away in an accident. An accident that directly involved him and caused his father to no longer care for him.     

If not because of that incident, Shangguan Yu's relationship with his father would not have gotten so cold by now.     

At the same time, he himself often played with Shangguan Die and Shangguan Yi when they were young. Even after that incident where he knew that he was framed, the two of them didn't care and still played with him. They trusted him, so Shangguan Yu felt relieved and willing to play with them.     

But later on, their mothers began to go against each other which turned into a bloody battle.     

It was to the point that Shangguan Yu lost his ability to walk.     

And during the incident where he fell, the one responsible was Shangguan Die.     

Since then, he could never play with those two anymore. He could never forgive her for taking the future that should have been his.     

He had always been filled with resentment.     

Resentment towards everyone who had caused him to be in this situation and couldn't walk towards his bright future. With his intelligence and capability, it should have been his position to be the successor of the Shangguan Family.     

Shangguan Yi was stupid.     

He didn't like to learn and would rather become the second generation rich person who fooled around all day.     

Shangguan Die is a woman and naturally would not be the next successor. Even though she had the courage comparable to men and quite good intelligence, she would never threaten his position.     

Yet, their relationship deteriorated slowly but surely.     

Until it reached the point of no return.     

From the moment he was schemed to make their father lose his youngest son to the point where he lost his own legs, Shangguan Yu felt that the Heaven hated him. Hated him so much that it didn't give him any leeway to stay alive in this cruel world, leaving him with nothing but hatred.     

They would never greet each other and even look at one another coldly as if they were treating their biggest enemy and not their family members.     

And after this cleanup, Shangguan Yu found out many things.     

He never investigated the first incident.     

In his opinion, the only person who could possibly do it was Shangguan Die and Shangguan Yi's mother. Because in the second incident, it was only because the servant told him that the two of them called him did he go to the location of this tragedy.     

No one else could possibly do it.     

But the cleanup dug out the few servants whom he had never suspected before. With his cruel methods, he forced them to open their mouth and managed to figure out that things that had happened back then was not so simple.     

He's the most capable among the few people in Shangguan Family.         

    

If there was nothing wrong, he would be the next successor. Even with his status as the concubine born son, his father didn't care about it that much.     

The only one who was similarly capable as him was his younger half brother.     

But his younger brother passed away.     

Because of him.     

Because of his mistake.     

Even though Shangguan Yu knew that he was framed when he was young, the pieces of evidence were all piled up against him. Their father was a softhearted person and couldn't possibly blame a boy for this matter.     

But his heart turned cold to him.     

Shangguan Yu knew that.     

Many times, he tried his best to attract his father's attention to him. All he wanted was for his father to look in his direction again.     

But it was useless.     

His father never wanted to look at him again.     

In his eyes, he was nothing more than a murderer.     

So when he lost his ability to walk, his father only did a simple investigation before leaving things be. This had allowed him to have the same preconception that everything was what that scheming woman did to destroy him and make the place for her brother.     

Now…     

Everything has changed.     

Things that he had never questioned before because of his youth and also things that he never managed to figure out.     

The broken pieces of the puzzle in his mind were forming shapes.     

And it was at this time he realized the truth.     

The truth that he didn't want to face because it was something that he couldn't accept. That everything he did was calculated by other people and instigated by others.     

"You're not of Shangguan Family. In fact, you're there to take the benefit and to cause a rift in the Shangguan Family's relationship with other families. Is that why you chased after Long Qian Xing and even tried to probe for important information from him? Too bad that the Long Family never let concubines know the political world in the slightest bit.     

But the damage of the relationship had been done. It's just that you never know the real situation at the frontline, so you can only do your part as a young woman."     

Shangguan Yu looked at Shangguan Mi. "Your real father is the one who ordered everything, isn't he? Where is he, Shangguan Mi?"
