Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



In accordance to nobility etiquette, they would not talk when eating. Sheng Shan Lang and Sheng Qi Rou were no longer considered as true commoners anymore because of Sheng Shan Lang's nobility rank.

They had also started to learn about some etiquette that was appropriate for their status.

After that silent meal, Sheng Shan Lang glanced at his sister. "Would you like to have a short walk with First Young Commander Feng? Perhaps, you will be able to know him better that way?"

Sheng Qi Rou took a look at Feng Ao Si and then at her brother. She knew what he wanted and shrugged. "Alright, I'll take a short walk."

"Please excuse me." Feng Ao Si stood up awkwardly. Even though he had heard Sheng Shan Lang talked about introducing him to the other party's sister a few times, he still felt somewhat confused about what he was supposed to do.

In the end, the two of them walked outside side by side awkwardly.

It was quite a weird matching.

"It's quite strange to ask the person in question about their opinion first." Feng Ao Kuai knew very well that many nobilities would have their marriage arranged even without asking for their opinion.

As for meeting?

Many of them would only meet on the day of their marriage for the first time.

"I'm not her parents. She deserved to know what kind of person who will spend the rest of her life with." Sheng Shan Lang shrugged. "Even though I'm her brother, I can't stay by her side forever."

"Brother Ao Si is a commander just like you. What makes you think that he can stay by your sister's side?" Feng Ao Kuai asked back.

"I myself will get married in the future and when it comes to that time, would it be possible for me to take care of my sister?" Sheng Shan Lang was not stupid. When he got married, would his wife would agree with him raising his sister?

Even if the other party agreed, he couldn't know what happened when he was away at the frontline most of the time.

And the reputation for women who didn't get married was harsh.

There were not many jobs that women could do. Knowing that marriage matter was something important for them, it would be impossible for Sheng Shan Lang to deprive his younger sister from this.

Sheng Qi Rou is already 17 years old.

In the current time, she was already past the age of marriage and some people in the villages will definitely talk about it. He didn't want to let his sister be the subject of these people's talk, so he had been trying to find good candidate that would satisfy his sister and had good relationship with him.

"Indeed." Feng Ao Kuai glanced at Sheng Shan Lang and nodded.

At the side, Nan Luo felt that the statement was directed at him. He rubbed his nose as he thought about the time when he tried to keep his sister by his side. But then again, he truly didn't want his sister to be taken away by others.

The feeling was not exactly good.

"Are you dissatisfied, Young Brother Feng Ao Kuai?" Sheng Shan Lang asked with a smile.

Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows. "How could it be? I'm only asking because I'm worried about my brother."

"Is that so?"

"There are a few other things to discuss. Should my older brother agree with this arrangement, I hope that you have no interest to make trouble with him." Feng Ao Kuai's eyes narrowed.

"I won't." Sheng Shan Lang's lips twitched. Looking at Feng Ao Kuai's posture, he had the feeling that when they truly discussed the matter, the biggest opponent he should face would be his future brother in law.

He sighed internally.

At this moment, he was grateful that their break was short. That way, he didn't have to spend so much time arguing with his future brother in law…

Wait, why did this routine seemed to be wrong?

Sheng Shan Lang was truly confused.

Unfortunately, he had no time to think about anything else as Feng Ao Kuai began to start his questioning. At the side, Nan Luo and Nan Hua tacitly agreed to let Feng Ao Kuai be.

…

While Sheng Shan Lang was 'tortured' by Feng Ao Kuai, Feng Ao Si and Sheng Qi Rou were walking on the stone path outside. The two of them were relatively silent as they didn't know what they should say to each other.

Feng Ao Si recalled the stories of his comrades when they told him about their marriages. Not all soldiers were young and many of them were already old. Many of them even have children, so they often shared the story of their past.

He took a deep breath and then looked at Sheng Qi Rou. "My name is Feng Ao Si. 22 years old this year. I'm a 3000 men commander who had worked together with Sheng Shan Lang for around 2 to 3 years. My salary is…"

The first step was to introduce themselves.

Sheng Qi Rou's lips twitched. For some reason, she recalled the stories of the other village women who were fortunate enough to be able to meet with their future partner and be introduced with each other before their marriage. At that time, all that was given was simply basic information about each other.

"First Young Commander Feng, my name is Sheng Qi Rou. 17 years old. I'm working as a farmer in Sheng Village and sometimes hunted on the mountain." Sheng Qi Rou smiled faintly. "I hope my brother didn't say anything weird about me."

"No." Feng Ao Si shook his head. "Shan Lang always said many good things about you."

"Really?" Sheng Qi Rou arched her eyebrows.

That bear brother of hers… she couldn't believe that he would actually say anything good about her.

Oh well, he definitely could say something good.

As long as it was against his own conscience.
