Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua looked at Concubine Qu. She then turned to look at Nan Shu Cheng. "Is that really the only thing you have to say?"

"You don't want it? There are still a lot of your mother's items there. If you don't want it, I can always take it," Concubine Qu asked once more with a smile.

Nan Hua looked at Concubine Qu deeply. She had no memory related to her mother, who had died when she first came here. For her, it was nothing more than a name and an address of someone who was supposed to be close to her body.

However, her body reacted upon hearing the words that Concubine Qu said. It was clear that the original Nan Hua cared very much for her mother and would be angry at this threat.

On the outside, Nan Hua's face was still as calm as ever. Her dark obsidian eyes that showed no sign of ripples disturbed Concubine Qu. In the past, Concubine Qu would always manage to get reaction from Nan Hua whenever she mentioned Nan Hua's blood related mother.

But why was it different this time?

"You'll let her take it, Mr. Nan?"

"Why not?" Nan Shu Cheng furrowed his eyebrows. "It's just some things that didn't worth much."

Nan Hua's dark obsidian eyes turned even colder. Before she could even retort, the image in front of her changed for a moment. It was as if she was seeing a dream or a film that only lasted for a moment yet it gave her enough information.

…

She was inside an unfamiliar residence.

There was a woman in front of her, lying on the bed while breathing heavily. Nan Hua could see several types of bruises on her body. Even though Nan Hua was young, she naturally knew what could possibly cause those wounds.

Her eyes deepened.

Bang!

The door opened and a woman entered. It was Concubine Qu, but she looked younger than the current her. She looked at Nan Hua and the woman on the bed with derision. "Tsk, you fell ill just like that? Do you really think that I'll let you off just because you're sick?"

"Don't touch my mother!"

Nan Hua was stunned when she noticed that her own body moved. It was then she realized that she was not in control of her own body. This was one of the lost memory of the original Nan Hua.

"Move that little b*tch!"

A strong arm grabbed Nan Hua and pulled her away. Nan Hua struggled and bit the hand of the maid, who proceeded to scream then slapped her away.

Bang!

Crashing to the door, Nan Hua bear with the pain as she tried to stand up and rushed over to her mother. She could see Concubine Qu was shaking her mother and even attempted to pull her away.

Nan Hua rushed over to Concubine Qu and her hand immediately pulled onto the skirt of the concubine.

"Kyaaaaaaaaa! Let me go this instant! Master, don't you see how wild she is and you still only stand there to watch?" Concubine Qu screamed to Nan Shu Cheng.

It was then the young Nan Hua realized that her father was there. She turned back and saw the cold and indifferent look of her father as he watched the commotion there. From how brazen Concubine Qu was, how the servants were following her order without hesitation, and how her own mother was lying on the sick bed, Nan Hua knew very well that it was deliberate.

This residence didn't even hide it.

Or, these servants were all people who knew about it but they allowed it to happen.

The young Nan Hua's heart was cooled down even more. She had been enduring whatever her father threw to her and tried her best to be the obedient child. No matter what he asked, she would try to do her best to follow his words.

But his attitude.

Shattered whatever feelings she had for him.

'Was he really my father?'

The thoughts crossed the young Nan Hua's mind and the current Nan Hua could sense it very well. It was filled with desperation, longing, and heartache to the point that it could easily invoke sympathy from others.

What could Nan Shu Cheng do to make such a young girl had such thoughts inside her mind?

The young Nan Hua looked at her father as her eyes turned watery, then she bit down Concubine Qu's thigh as hard as possible.

"KYaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Screams immediately filled the quarter.

The servants were scrambling as they pushed the young Nan Hua once more. By now, the young Nan Hua must have been bruised all over, but she didn't care in the slightest bit. She merely stood up once more and stood beside her mother's bed. Her determined expression showed that she would do anything to protect her mother.

Her small body was weak and frail, but the determination within her eyes seemed to be preventing others from getting close to her.

It was as if they would be burned the moment they tried to get close to the young girl.

Concubine Qu was in Nan Shu Cheng's arm. He coaxed her before looking at Nan Hua, berating the young girl, "What are you doing? Are you some wild girl who didn't know any manners? How can you bite down just anything?"

The young Nan Hua looked at her father, the one who was supposed to be the tall tree who protected her. She always stayed patient and followed whatever he told her to do. But why did he end up berating her and wished for her mother's death?

Her heart was filled with pain and heartache.

The young Nan Hua slowly recited, "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 attempt to kill their children be called as?"
