Forgotten Legend Of The Bloodied Flower

Chapter 79 - Storm Brewing

Nan Xin's face flushed. It was clear that it was exactly what she wanted to say. There were several other ladies who were near her and any one of them could have made the move. However, there was no one who saw anything.

"But it's not impossible, right?"

"How should I know?" Concubine Qu was frustrated by this annoying young girl.

At this moment, a servant walked towards Concubine Qu and whispered something. The light within her eyes glimmered for a moment. She looked at the servant. "How sure are you about this news?"

"At least 70% but there's no detailed information," the servant replied.

Concubine Qu nodded. While it was hard to believe that such an accident could leave no mark, she felt that high ranked martial artist could do that. it meant that there might be someone who was helping Nan Hua in secret...

Why did it sound a bit impossible?

Old Master Nan wouldn't dote his granddaughter to the extreme and gave such high ranked martial artist to follow them all the time, right? Besides, there were also the shadow guard of the Imperial Family who was guarding Princess Yue.

There was no way that they wouldn't notice if it was outsider who made their move.

"Mother, it might be Nan Hua! She must have ordered the girls to do something against me!" Nan Xin gritted her teeth. Upon recalling the cold and indifferent gaze that Nan Hua sent to her, she didn't think it was impossible.

Concubine Qu snorted. "There's no way that girl could do that. She didn't even come out and the girls who were with you today have only met with her once. How would they help her when they hadn't met before?"

"But..."

"But if you want to make a move against her, it's not impossible." The corner of Concubine Qu's lips curled up. Princess Yue was present and Shangguan Die was also here. Not to mention, there was General Chi who had lukewarm relationship with Old General Nan.

They certainly wouldn't help Nan Hua and might even help her out.

Since the Old Master of Nan Family and her husband was not here, Concubine Qu knew that this would be a good chance for her to make her move. "Coincidentally, I received an interesting news regarding the twins. Tomorrow, you're going to Southern Courtyard."

"Mother?" Nan Xin asked curiously.

At the back, Nan Hou Xiang watched Nan Xin listened to his mother and snorted. He knew very well that the reason why Concubine Qu didn't allow him to be the one to come was because she didn't want to leave any evidence behind.

He crossed his hands. Since such an easy pawn could be found here, why should they bother to dirty their own hands?

...

Southern Courtyard

Nan Hua didn't really do anything much after the small incident. The day passed quietly and the next day, she went with Nan Luo to hunt as usual.

"Young Master, please don't go too far today." Hou Liang had long known about the twins' adventure to the forest in order to hunt. But because yesterday there was such a scene, he would not feel save unless he told them to be more careful.

"Yes."

Nan Luo knew that it would be dangerous but he smiled lightly. If those people really wanted to take advantage of him, he would give them a chance. Don't blame him if they didn't succeed, though.

Hou Liang's heart dropped when he saw that smile on Nan Luo's face. Other people would definitely be fooled by his appearance that made him look as if he was a cute and adorable kid. But he would never be fooled.
