Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



Nan Luo watched the two of them talked about the matter of marriage so easily and felt somewhat at loss.

Before he knew it, time had passed so quickly.

It was already time for their marriage too.

"Sleep well. I still want to talk more with Sheng Shan Lang tomorrow." Feng Ao Kuai yawned. "As for your future wife, you can deal with her on your own. Mother should be able to judge her better if you still feel uncertain."

Feng Ao Si: "…" I'm not blind!

Nan Luo glanced at Feng Ao Kuai and then thought of his own marriage.

When he got married, who will take care of it?

His aunt?

Uh… let it be something for the future.

…

In another room, Sheng Shan Lang entered his sister's room. He watched as the young woman hummed while drinking milk happily.

"What do you think, Qi Rou?"

"You have good eyes, Brother." Sheng Qi Rou glanced at her older brother and shook her head. She knew that he definitely wanted to be praised when she decided to agree. Her brother has always been somewhat childish, but that was what made her brother cute.

Sheng Shan Lang smiled. "Of course I have good eyes."

"Don't let it go to your head."

"Heh." Sheng Shan Lang smiled and looked at his sister teasingly. "I thought that you'll like grown up men more."

"No, a childish man is cuter and those mature men are more stuck up and wish for me to follow their rules." Sheng Qi Rou shook her head. She had met with a somewhat mature man whom her brother introduced but they didn't end up too well.

The contrast in their personality was obvious when they talked about some things regarding their future.

"…You do realize that we don't like being called cute, right?"

"What's wrong with me calling my brother cute?" Sheng Qi Rou snorted. "I feel that it's good for you to have such good point."

Sheng Shan Lang shook his head. "Get some rest. Feng Ao Si still have parents, so you will have to serve them after marriage."

"I know." Sheng Qi Rou nodded solemnly.

She knew very well that entering nobility family meant that she would have to learn more about their etiquette and rules. And serving her mother in law was something that every daughter in law had to do.

At this moment, she only hoped that her future mother in law wouldn't make things too difficult for her.

But then again, would such a cute man like Feng Ao Si have a troublesome mother?

She doubted it.

…

Outside the house, Nan Hua had erected a tent on a somewhat empty area. She glanced at Nan Si who came towards her. He was blending with the soldiers who came with Feng Ao Kuai, acting as part of their army without attracting any attention.

"Miss, there's a letter from Zhang Xu Kingdom."

"Give it to me."

Nan Hua took the bamboo scroll and unfurled it. Seeing the content, she arched her eyebrows.

So it seemed that the Third Prince had successfully taken the throne.

And it wouldn't take a long time for him to hold his inauguration ceremony since he was already of age.

'Should I go and create some troubles in exchange for the troubles he did here?'

But thinking about Nan Hua's limited personnel in Zhang Xu Kingdom, she didn't want to move them just for such a trivial matter. There was no point in holding off the ceremony aside from making the battle among the remaining princes became fiercer.

Even if the third prince hadn't been inaugurated, he had already collected the majority of people with real power by his side.

It was hard to shake him off.

"Go and have rest."

"Yes, Miss."

Nan Hua put the scroll away.

She looked at the house and knew that Feng Ao Si had agreed with the arrangement and seemed to be satisfied with it. Since that was the case, she will stay here and help her older cousin if he needed it.

At the very least, she should give him a gift for getting married.

Wait, Feng Ao Si knew that 'Nan Hua' is still alive, right?

Nan Hua didn't want to scare her cousin in the broad daylight. She forgot whether Feng Ao Kuai had told Feng Ao Si about this matter or not considering that there were many instance where Feng Ao Kuai would rather not tell Feng Ao Si anything because of his stupidity.

'I guess I'll just leave him his gift in the army later.'

Nan Hua shook her head and then laid down the bed. There was no need for her to worry so much.

…

The next day, Feng Ao Si and Sheng Qi Rou headed to the mountain to hunt some game. Seeing his own sister headed to the mountain, Sheng Shan Lang felt like dragging Feng Ao Si and told him not to pamper her too much.

But the two of them were not weak.

Ugh… Feng Ao Si is instead very strong and Sheng Shan Lang had suffered in their friendly spar in the past when he wanted to test the other party.

It should be fine.

However, when Sheng Shan Lang found out that he would be staying here with Feng Ao Kuai, he began to think that the arrangement was not good.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to escape.

Thus, Nan Luo and Nan Hua watched as Feng Ao Kuai dragged Sheng Shan Lang for the second round of 'interrogation.'

"I thought that the one who should feel more unwilling is Sheng Shan Lang." Nan Luo felt that the image in front of him was a bit too 'beautiful' that he didn't know what to say for a while.

"In this case, it's Feng Ao Si who's being 'kidnapped.'" Nan Hua kept her indifferent expression.

"…Right." Nan Luo sighed deeply.

Why did his cousin seemed to be like a woman who was being kidnapped by someone and it was Feng Ao Kuai who had to clean up the mess?

Tsk, tsk, he felt that his imagination was getting wilder as time passed.
