Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 810: Nan Family Trial and Result (8)

Long Qian Xing hated this kind of person very much. If he does love her, he should never hurt her. Even if the situation forced him to, he had to figure out a way to make sure not to hurt her to the point of no return like that. And if he hated her, he could use different means to dispose of her rather than giving her false hope like that.         

    

Nan Shu Cheng was the one who had destroyed Madam Nan's natal family. It was to the point that outsiders felt chilled when they heard the report read by the officials not long ago.     

What kind of man would kill his father in law and mother in law?     

The eyes they looked at him was like they were looking at a beast rather than human.     

Filial piety is very strong in this era. And even if it was not that strong and revered, their moral compass with their heart could never accept it when they heard that there was a man who would kill their father in law and mother in law.     

What kind of parents would bear to give their daughter to him if it would result in their death?     

Thus, everyone steered away.     

Not to mention, the officials mentioned the long term abuse that was done to Madam Nan. It was stated that she overdosed in various medicines and as a man, how could they not know what the use of these medicines were?     

They could guess it.     

And the medical report that was read by the officials told them that their guess shouldn't be wrong.     

This made their heart turned cold.     

Even though these officials mostly believe that men had higher position that woman… this action still chilled them.     

At this moment, all the officials had come to a consensus that Nan Shu Cheng is a beast.     

Nothing could change it.     

Even Old Master Nan closed his heart and felt that his heart was aching. When he brought Madam Nan out of Nan Shu Cheng's Residence, her condition was really bad. So bad that he didn't know what he was supposed to do anymore.     

The doctors were all telling him that she wouldn't be able to live long.     

His granddaughter was also in coma because of the wound on her head and the blood that had been lost. There were some traces of bruises on her knees because Nan Hua was punished to kneel a lot, but it was not as bad as Madam Nan.     

Still, for a young girl, that treatment was something that couldn't be accepted.     

What did she do wrong that her own father would not feed her and instead punish her to kneel all night long?     

Her hand was tired after writing for a long time but her father never praised her.     

The young girl was completely disappointed in her father.     

And in the last moment, she tried her best to stop him but ended up with the injury on her head.     

He always regretted it.     

Regretted bringing that bright and smart woman into his son's world. The only consolation he had was the two grandchildren were following him and not as stupid as Nan Shu Cheng.     

But the price for the two of them to come to this world was very heavy.     

It was so much that Old Master Nan always felt guilty.         

    

But he knew that he had to live with it.     

He was the one who arranged the marriage and didn't educate his son properly. This time, he didn't want to make the same mistake, so he let the two children grow up freely and protected them from behind.     

That way, he hoped that they would grow up to be a decent person.     

If they were to follow his father, he had told himself that he would be the one to personally settle them. There was no way he could possibly let the tragedy repeat itself.     

And Nan Shu Cheng…     

He couldn't kill him.     

Because of a promise he had made in the past.     

"You…"     

Nan Shu Cheng looked at Long Qian Xing and was about to speak before he shut his mouth once more. He lowered his eyes and then laughed lightly.     

For some reasons, the poem that Nan Hua recited to him many years ago resurfaced in his mind once more.     

A pool of black water shows its true face under the light.     

But a blind man only knows it's cool and comfortable.     

Even a beast knows how to protect their cubs,     

What should a man who attempts to kill their children be called?     

An imperfect poem made by someone who didn't have much literary ability, but it had questioned him very much.     

And now, Long Qian Xing's question was similar.     

What do you think I should call a man who hurt his loved one in the name of love?     

What does he think?     

Probably… a b*****     

Nan Shu Cheng shook his head and lowered his head, no longer wanting to think about anything. He had lost everything. In this long game of war, deception, conspiracy, and whatever, he had taken the wrong step.     

And he wouldn't be able to have the chance to see the end of this so called game.     

"Execute him," Emperor Yang Zhou gave his order. He looked at the man who lowered his head and snorted lightly. Being influenced by Long Qian Xing, he also disliked the behavior of a man who would abuse his own wife and said that he 'loved' her, so he wanted her to completely submit to him.     

In any case, those women in his harem were all there either because of their family members or because of their willingness.     

He never forced them.     

If they didn't want to, he had no interest in forcing them either. That would only make things turned bad. But that was his personal opinion and he had no way of forcing this thought on the other officials.         

    

Everyone has different view.     

But at the very least, at this moment they were all very uniform.     

That was: they disagreed with the approach that Nan Shu Cheng had done and all the immoral action that he had done. Not to mention, there were also many other crimes that he had done.     

Perhaps, if he never walked on this path, Nan Shu Cheng would never be able to reach this end.     

Nan Shu Cheng looked at the guard in front of him and looked at the sky. Being with Qu Fei Jiao, he then followed Qu Family's wishes and worked together with them. In his opinion, if he could make his second wife happy, it will be good.     

But now he realized how foolish he was.     

His first wife always warned him to be careful because there would be a lot of people who wanted to make a good use of him. But he instead walked into that pit by himself because of a few coaxing words from his second wife.     

He wanted a woman who could only become a decoration by his side.     

He had obtained her.     

But at the same time, he also lost the chance to turn back from this path that he had treaded.     

From the very moment he collaborated with Qu Family, his ending had already been sealed in the stone. He would never be able to get away with the crime of betraying Fei Yang Kingdom.     

He was foolish.     

For his nonsensical pride and arrogance, he abandoned the woman who truly cared for him and instead chose someone who only wanted him because of his position. Eventually, everything he had crumbled away.     

He couldn't even keep his life.     

What had he done in this life exactly?     

That was the last thought Nan Shu Cheng had inside his mind.     

Swish! Slash!     

Old Master Nan watched as his own son was executed in front of his eyes. Even though he repeatedly said that he was disappointed in Nan Shu Cheng, it couldn't change the fact that the person in front of him was still his flesh and blood.     

He used to be the son Old Master Nan was so happy about.     

But right now… Nan Shu Cheng had changed.     

He made a mistake, so he had to pay for it. And the price he had to pay for his mistake was his own life.     

Old Master Nan closed his eyes and sighed.     

'Dear, if only you were still here, you will be able to help this brat in the right direction before it's all too late. I don't have the same patience as you and I don't have the same influence towards him as you.'     

If only his old wife was still alive, Old Master Nan knew that Nan Shu Cheng would listen to her.     

If only he was not so busy at the battlefield, he would have been able to take care of his residence better.         

    

If only…     

There were so many ifs, but the reality couldn't be changed with those speculations. Old Master Nan knew very well that he couldn't turn back time, so he simply looked at the people in front of him. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply.     

What you reap is what you sow.
