Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 774: Why Should We Dirty Our Hands if We Can Use Others?

Empress Xiao Qiang was looking at Second Young Miss Lao and furrowed her eyebrows. She had already interacted with Second Young Miss Lao before and felt that this girl was actually not worthy to see outsider.     

Her action was not in line with the proper etiquette.     

"Second Young Miss Lao, the road is indeed uneven, but dragging another young lady is not very polite of you. Is this how you teach your daughter, Madam Lao?"     

Madam Lao had been scared sh**less when she saw that her daughter fell on the wrong person. Not only that, she didn't even complete her sentence and made herself looked even more awkward and stupid.     

She quickly stepped forward. "Your Highness, this one apologize! My daughter hadn't been feeling well lately."     

"She hadn't been feeling well?" Empress Dowager Yan surprisingly spoke up. Her tone sounded lazy and slow, yet it carried a hint of sharpness that had been tempered in the brutal battle in the Imperial Family.     

"Xiao Qiang, if Mother recall correctly, there's no invitation towards Second Young Miss Lao, is there?"     

"Imperial Mother Yan is correct." Empress Xiao Qiang put on a confused expression. "I didn't explicitly state that you're not allowed to bring your daughters, but if your daughter hadn't been feeling well, there's no need for her to come."     

"I see, it must have been Madam Lao's decision."     

At this moment, Second Young Miss Lao also felt her body turned cold. She looked at the two Imperial Family members and felt that she really couldn't speak anything else. Even if Empress Xiao Qiang was new to the Imperial Family, she had already integrated herself so much that she could fight against other women so flawlessly.     

"Your Highness, I…"     

"Bring these two out. From now on, the Lao Family is not allowed to step into the Imperial Palace." Empress Dowager Yan waved her hand.     

Beside her, Empress Xiao Qiang lowered her head, but there was a soft smile at the corner of her lips. She was only silently venting her anger through methods no one would be able to find fault against.     

The maidservants moved quickly to pull the two women out. They didn't dare to delay in the slightest bit.     

On the other hand, Empress Dowager Yan slowly turned around. "Daughter in law had to be more careful in the future. There will be more people who will try to ingratiate themselves to you."     

"Imperial Daughter will remember Imperial Mother Yan's teaching."     

Empress Dowager Yan nodded in satisfaction as she walked away. Even though she was only walking, there was an air that seemed to be telling everyone to stay away. And if they were to look at her expression, they would realize that her eyes were harsh and incredibly frightening.     

She had stood at the top for a long period of time.     

No women would be able to go against her in this Imperial Palace. Even when facing her sisters, she would be the one holding the advantage.     

Empress Xiao Qiang looked at the young ladies and smiled lightly. "Let's continue our walk and not let this incident affect our mood."     

"Yes, Your Highness."     

There was a round of praises coming from the noble ladies as they continued their walk. Nan Hua was merely staying in the crowd, watching the two women dealt with the problem so seamlessly.     

No one would dare to find fault with them.     

The one in the wrong was the two women from Lao Family. And these two were of the Imperial Family. They had every right to be arrogant.     

Time passed swiftly.         

There was no other incident and Nan Hua returned to her own residence. Inside the carriage, she was looking at Nan Si, who had slipped inside.     

"Miss, shall I deal with them?" Nan Si's eyes were cold.     

He had watched Nan Hua moved away from Second Young Miss Lao and knew that the Lao Family was going against Nan Family.     

"There's no need." Nan Hua calmly tapped the chair. "Tip off their enemies of their wrongdoings. That way, they'll be eliminated from the court."     

"Yes, Miss."     

Swish!     

As Nan Si disappeared, Nan Hua looked outside with lazy expression. She had the information agency behind her. Why should she worry about not having enough information?     

She was too lazy to settle this small problem and would rather let the enemies of Lao Family settled it.     

When Nan Hua reached home, she saw Old Master Nan waiting for her.     

"Grandfather, didn't the doctor asks you to stay inside more?"     

"What's the use of staying inside when there's nothing to do?" Old Master Nan snorted. He looked at Nan Hua and pulled her inside. "Don't accept any other invitation and stay inside the house. It's not good outside."     

Nan Hua was silent for a moment before agreeing, "Yes, Grandfather."     

In that case, she would just accept some missions that took place in the Capital City to hone her skills even more. There were some hidden experts here, so there were some places that Nan Hua had to evade.     

It was definitely more challenging than the missions she took in the other cities back then.     

Old Master Nan sighed when he saw his granddaughter's gaze. "I have already started to eliminate the officials from the opposing side one by one for several years. There's no need for you to do anything."     

"I know, but it'll be hard for you to do that without having anyone in the court." Nan Hua looked at her grandfather.     

Hearing her accusation, Old Master Nan merely coughed lightly. It was not like he didn't want to admit, but he still wanted to give some surprise to his granddaughter. There were some officials who were actually working for the Nan Family.     

Not to mention… Prime Minister Lan was his old friend.     

"Do you have anyone you want to recommend entering the court?" Old Master Nan asked slowly.     

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and answered with a firm tone, "Feng Mo Xing."
