Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 809: Nan Family Trial and Result (7)

With the two children in the residence, he had more control over his wife as Madam Nan cared greatly for her children. She couldn't bear to see the two of them suffer.         

    

Nan Shu Cheng naturally couldn't mistreat his son.     

After all, Nan Luo would be his successor in the future and even if he would not be his successor, he would be more valuable than his daughter. So, he simply punished Nan Hua more, not letting her see his wife.     

She's just a daughter.     

In his opinion, a woman wouldn't be of much use, but Madam Nan always thought differently.     

She loved both of her children.     

And they became 'tools' Nan Shu Cheng could use to control his wife. With Nan Hua still staying in his residence, he could make use of her to control his wife.     

If Madam Nan wanted to see Nan Hua, she would have to listen to him.     

She didn't want to care about him, but she couldn't possibly not care for her son and daughter. The two of them were her only immediately family members in this world after Tu Family killed her parents.     

And it was even something Nan Shu Cheng helped them do it.     

Madam Nan might not know all the news from the outside world, but she still knew this matter should not be unrelated to Nan Shu Cheng. This was why she could never treat him the same as she used to treat him in the past.     

From hatred and indifference to complete disregard.     

The person whom she used to love was also the same person who had harmed the people whom she cared the most.     

How could she retain any feeling for him?     

Even if there were some special people who could do it, she couldn't do it. For Madam Nan, the moment Nan Shu Cheng raised his hand against her and the people around her was the moment he had broken her last bottom line.     

She could never forgive him.     

If not for the sake of her two children, Madam Nan might not even want to look in Nan Shu Cheng's direction.     

And everything had been going well…     

Until Nan Luo went back early and destroyed all of his plans. He asked the guards to restrain the brat, but some of his father and even his first wife's people stepped forward to stop him.     

They had been staying silent at the side, restraining their temper not to step forward. And at the last moment when Nan Luo finally came and saw this, they finally revealed themselves and allowed the young master to report it.     

This prevented Nan Shu Cheng from stopping Nan Luo.     

They allowed him to leave.     

Old Master Nan came and beat him up before taking his first wife and his two children. On that day, Nan Shu Cheng was so angry that he fainted.     

He had been working hard to make sure that he could contain Madam Nan in his residence. It was even up to the point that he destroyed her family so that she would no longer have any backing and couldn't get away from him.     

But in the end, he forgot his father.     

His father, who should have supported him, actually sided with that woman.         

    

Since that day, he had become even more irritable and hard to control his temper.     

And a few weeks later…     

He heard the news that his first wife died.     

His first reaction was disbelief.     

His second reaction was to confirm the news.     

When he found out that the cause of the death was actually his treatment for his first wife, Nan Shu Cheng was in total disbelief. But the doctor report clearly stated that it was because of the long term of drug use that his first wife's body was completely destroyed from inside.     

It was already hopeless by the time she came out of Nan Shu Cheng's Residence.     

Even if she could stay alive, she had to rely on medicine and couldn't even stay fully conscious for a long time. It was all because of what the drug had done to her body over an extended period of time.     

Humans body was weak and had to carefully taken care. Weird things that entered the body would only become poisons.     

As it slowly accumulated, it would be impossible to take out the poison as it seeped deep into her body.     

Nan Shu Cheng wanted to keep Madam Nan.     

He never wanted to kill her.     

The day he received the medical report, he rushed towards the doctor who prescribed the medicine and questioned him. But the doctor's words that day only made him understand that there was no perfect medicine.     

"It's indeed harmful if taken occasionally. But if you keep on ingesting the medicine, your body wouldn't be able to operate normally and what awaited you will be  nothing more than your death."     

Nan Shu Cheng was stupefied.     

Holding the medical report that the doctor gave to him, he had to admit that he was the one who had killed his wife. It was because of his action, his greed, and vanity that made him lose her.     

He was devastated.     

Nan Shu Cheng kept that medical report away.     

Since that day, he refused to go to that quarter ever again.     

Because he knew that if he were to go there again, he would be reminded of everything that had happened between him and his first wife.     

He didn't want to remember that anymore.     

He wished to bury what had happened so that he would never be able to remember it again. But Nan Hua's presence and the subsequence dramas in Nan Family Residence pulled him back to the past.     

Until this point…     

He had no other choice but to be reminded.     

Reminded of the past.         

    

Reminded of what he had done.     

Reminded of the consequences of his action.     

"Nan Hua…do you think Li'er will forgive me?" Nan Shu Cheng asked, his voice was hoarse as he turned to look at both his father and his daughter. For some reason, it sounded as if his entire world had collapsed and there was only one last string of hope in his life.     

Nan Hua looked at her father.     

She had only recovered part of the memory that belonged to the original Nan Hua that was related to Nan Shu Cheng. And among them… there was not even a single one happy memory.     

Not even one.     

"I'm not my mother," Nan Hua said in a low voice. Her clear black obsidian eyes were looking at her father. He was supposed to be the closest person in her life, but he was instead the furthest person from her.     

When she came to this world, she knew nothing and had to use everything possible to infer what had happened in the past. Years of training allowed her to blend into this world seamlessly by making conjectures of what the original Nan Hua's personality and line of action was.     

The images of what had happened in Nan Family Residence continued to appear in her mind, reminding her of what had happened.     

The lost memories were recovering.     

And not a single one of them was a pleasant memory of Nan Hua with Nan Shu Cheng. Aside from abuse, harsh treatment, all that left was only coldness that crushed the hope of a little kid.     

Even if a kid hadn't understood the world, they were not stupid.     

They could see when someone didn't like them.     

And Nan Shu Cheng was not exactly hiding his real thoughts in front of his 'worthless' daughter. He showed his real thoughts in front of his child, not caring what effect it would bring to them.     

Nan Hua could barely remember her mother.     

But in the bits and pieces of memories she had seen about her, she knew that Madam Nan is a strong person.     

If she's not strong, she wouldn't have hold on until she was brought out of Nan Family Residence. Enduring the humiliation, abuse, and many others. Without willpower and endurance, she would never survive.     

Nan Hua was not in a position to speak representing her mother.     

She could only speak by representing herself.     

"But if it's me, I won't."     

Beside Nan Hua, Long Qian Xing's eyes were cold. He looked at Nan Shu Cheng and really wanted to knock some senses onto this proud and somewhat repulsive man in front of him.     

It took him everything in his self control not to beat the hell out of this man.     

"Official Nan, what do you think I should call a man who hurt his loved one in the name of love?" Long Qian Xing asked in a cold voice.     

If he loved someone so dearly, he would never be able to bear to hurt them in the slightest bit. And the report that he received regarding the Nan Family had allowed him to know how Nan Shu Cheng treated his own wife.     

She was the same person whom he used to whisper the word of love and affection.         

    

But then he treated her worse than trash.
