Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

674 Things are Slowly Forming Shape

Meanwhile, Nan Hua merely looked at the group in front of her. "Since there's nothing else, I will excuse myself first."

They all silent.

The Qu Family couldn't do anything but watch as Nan Hua ordered her servants to close the gate and entered her quarter. The four servant girls didn't even spare them another glance as they closed the gate.

It was as if these people didn't even worth a moment of their time.

Nan Hua walked into her quarter. She noticed that Xiao Yun looked very excited because things ended faster than expected.

"Miss, you're amazing," Chu Yue praised Nan Hua when they reached her room.

Mu Yan was helping Nan Hua to remove the accessories while Nan Hua sat in front of the bronze mirror. She looked at her reflection as she answered Chu Yue calmly, "Not everything can be solved with violence. Playing their game and outwit them can also be used to solve problems."

Xiao Yun nodded in agreement. What Nan Hua did just now was simply slapping those people's faces. They thought that everything would go in accordance to what they wanted. But what they forgot was that they had to calculate Nan Shu Cheng's willingness to follow their scheme.

If the head didn't even want to follow them, how could their scheme possibly succeed?

It was already doomed to fail even before they could do anything.

"Miss, have you already guessed Master's attitude?"

Nan Hua didn't answer. It was not hard to see that Nan Shu Cheng was tired. And with the assassination just occurred the night before, how could it be possible for Nan Shu Cheng to be in the mood to watch another drama? He must be worrying that the Emperor's target would be Nan Family.

Actually, Nan Shu Cheng didn't have to worry about it. The Emperor would not consider Nan Family to be removed as of yet. After all, he still had to discuss that matter with Long Qian Xing.

Xiao Yun didn't need Nan Hua to answer. She smiled happily. "Miss is amazing."

"We can't compare to Miss at all," Mu Yan chirped in.

Chu Yue laughed lightly.

Ran also nodded.

The four of them were in good mood because they managed to see Nan Hua won with just few sentences. It happened so fast for others that they might not be able to understand fully. But for the four of them, they knew that it was Nan Hua who had calculated what they would do.

"Have some rest." Nan Hua put down the last accessory down. It was inconvenient for her to wear these things all the time. If the situation didn't call for it, she would have never bothered to take these at all.

"Yes, Miss."

It should be peaceful for some time. Though, Nan Hua was sure that for some of the people outside, it wouldn't be the same.

Besides, after this matter, there would still be some things that would happen.

For example, the Empress Selection.

A lot of maidens were waiting for this announcement. Though, Nan Hua didn't care that much. Those girls who had fiancé were naturally not qualified to participate in this and if Nan Hua had to say, she had no interest in becoming the Empress.

...

<Madam Qu's Quarter>

Prang!

Nan Hou Xiang was silent as he listened to his mother smashing the porcelains once more. They had already lost so much money because of those broken porcelains that he didn't know what to say to his mother anymore. However, he knew that saying anything to his mother about this matter would be useless.

It was very unlikely that his mother would listen to him.

"Young Master," a maidservant came forward and greeted Nan Hou Xiang.

"When Mother had calmed down, bring her some tea."

"Yes, Young Master."

Looking at the door, Nan Hou Xiang hesitated for a moment before deciding not to enter. There was no need for him to cause the situation turn even worse. Besides, he couldn't really do anything even if he went in.

His mother would not miraculously calm down.

Walking down the stone path, Nan Hou Xiang reached the area where the Qu Family would be staying for the time being. He noticed that there were several people who were already waiting.

"You're involving my mother," Nan Hou Xiang said as he looked at his uncle.

His uncle, Master Qu, was the current head of Qu Family. He was also Qu Fei Jiao's brother and also had been staying in the Capital City lately. With the relationship he had with Nan Shu Cheng, he had been trying to expand his business.

But today, things didn't go too well.

If they offended Nan Shu Cheng, things wouldn't do well for Qu Family either.

"I didn't expect that his attitude would change after all these years." Nan Hou Xiang's uncle, Master Qu, looked at his nephew. "Have you known about it?"

"More or less." Nan Hou Xiang frowned.

Indeed, he had sensed that his father didn't seem to care about his mother that much compared to before. A few years ago, Nan Shu Cheng would always support Madam Qu no matter how much trouble she caused for him.

But this time…

Something had changed.

"Time changes his heart." Master Qu's expression was a bit grim. He thought that things would go smoothly after his sister managed to become the main wife. But it didn't seem to be that way.

Qu Fei Jiao was good at keeping Nan Shu Cheng's heart when Madam Nan was still around. But after Madam Nan had gone, the other concubines were slowly trying to encroach her territory and snatched Nan Shu Cheng just like what she did to Madam Nan before.

"Do you think it's possible to turn it around again?"

"Would you like to use an old rag?"

The question caused Nan Hou Xiang's heart to turn cold. He looked at his uncle. "Anything you can do?"

"Not much. At the very least, make sure she keeps the seat and please him on the days she had to serve him." Master Qu snorted.
