Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"But since you already asked, I'll tell you. The one who will come is the Young Miss from Long Family."

Young Miss from Long Family?

Long Xu Nian?

Nan Luo's eyes instantly turned cold. He still remembered the time when that annoying woman bullied his sister in the past and always made things difficult for his twin sister. There was no way he would let that Long Xu Nian off if she dared to make any kind of scene in the temple.

Nan Hua didn't react at all as she kept an indifferent expression and continued to eat. No one would be able to guess what she was thinking from her deadpan expression.

"Miss Nan Hua, are you not excited to see your sister in law?" Shangguan Die asked with a faint smile.

Raising her head, Nan Hua tilted her head. "Should I be excited?"

"Oh? Are you not close to Miss Long?" Shangguan Die's interest was piqued up. She was staring at Nan Hua like a snake looking at their target. She wanted to know how Nan Hua would react to this difficult question.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "I have only been to Long Family Residence a few times, so I haven't met with her a lot."

Shangguan Die pursed her lips. While Nan Hua's words sounded as if she was answering, it was actually evading. By saying that she had only gone to Long Family Residence a few times, she was implying that she hadn't even had the chance to meet with Long Xu Nian a lot.

If she couldn't meet with the other party a lot, how could they be close?

It was as simple as that.

"Don't you want to visit them often?"

"It's not appropriate." Nan Hua picked the vegetable in front of her and no longer looked at Shangguan Die. It looked as if Shangguan Die couldn't be compared to the vegetables in front of her.

Shangguan Die arched her eyebrows. "There's no need for you to act so distant, is it Miss Nan?"

Nan Hou Xiang was snickering when he saw Shangguan Die putting her attention solely on Nan Hua. He proceeded to grab the rest of the meat and stuffed them into his mouth, fulling his desire to eat. It seemed that their mother's scheme of pushing Nan Hua into this fire pit succeeded.

Nan Hua then looked at Concubine Qu. "Miss Shangguan is a close friend of Concubine Mother. How can I dare to be close to you?"

Concubine Mother?!

Concubine Qu nearly spat out the tea she was drinking. She was just gloating but now Nan Hua had already poked onto her weak point once more. Glaring at the young girl in front of her, Concubine Qu tried to soften her tone as much as possible.

"What are you saying, Nan Hua? I'm your mother."

"My mother had died and a concubine who asked to have her status elevated in just a week after the main wife had died, what is she if not a Concubine Mother?" Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "She had no respect for the main wife and already eager to get the position within such a short period of time. Such a woman is not worthy of being called as mother."

Concubine Qu nearly choked at Nan Hua's blunt words.

This time, Nan Hua didn't even try to sugarcoat her words and merely looked forward with her clear and innocent look.

Innocent, my ***!

Turning her head to look at Shangguan Die, Concubine Qu could see that Shangguan Die was clearly looking down on Concubine Qu. While she might be a temperamental woman, she highly respected the rules and the norm of society. What Nan Family did didn't break any law, but it was looked down upon in the society.

Shangguan Die was the main daughter in Shangguan Family. She also had her own stepsiblings and naturally knew how her mother had suffered in the residence. What she hated the most was when those women step on the line and caused troubles for her mother.

"You're right, Miss Nan Hua. Such a woman is not worthy to be called as mother. With no respect to the one who had just passed away, she's in such a hurry to celebrate the death of another person," Shangguan Die spat out.

Death was a taboo thing to be discussed.

Nan Hua dared to say it because her young age gave her a lot of lenience while Shangguan Die simply didn't care in the slightest bit. But if this news were to spread in the society, it would cause Nan Shu Cheng to lose a lot of faces once more.

The others in the table could ignore it. Nan Hua didn't care for the so called man who claimed himself as her father. To her, that word was foreign and contained no meaning. Even the word family was still pretty new to her.

Shangguan Die herself didn't care about Nan Family that much and only had fun in dissing others.

But Concubine Qu couldn't afford it.

"That's not true. Mother is not like that!" Nan Hou Xiang couldn't stand it when his mother was blatantly dissed like that.

"So, you think that someone with no respect for others, is worthy of respect?" Shangguan Die's eyes turned sharp.

Nan Hou Xiang shook his head. "No, I'm not saying it like that. I'm saying that Mother is not a person who didn't respect others and… and…."

"Not respect others? Heh, I can clearly see it from her action very well." Shangguan Die sneered.

Nan Hua looked at the group in front of her and lowered her eyes to look at the dishes once more. She was truly not in the mood to eat when the group in front of her was quarreling, but her hand moved elegantly to eat again.

To think that Concubine Qu was trying to use her as a scapegoat in order to make things smooth between her and Shangguan Family.

Unfortunately, Nan Hua had no intention of letting her plan succeed just like that.
