[1] Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Ch 316 - 320

C316 - True Reason (2)

It referred to an incident in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Many decades ago, wars were still raging on worse than it was now. It was simply relatively stable because each kingdom was busy because of their internal problem. They didn't have time to care for others and only tried to have some skirmish at the border because of some reasons.

The Lin Family was suddenly hit when they were already declining and the reason for their downfall was because of a young lady who leaked the information. That woman earned a large amount of fortune and then married away to Fei Yang Kingdom.

Because of the distance, Lin Family couldn't do anything.

They could only suffer in silence as things continued to turn worse. In order to make sure things would not repeat, the rebellious women children were forced to eat parasites who would only be forced out when they were about to be married away.

Then, another young lady escaped from Lin Family and headed to Fei Yang Kingdom. It was only a coincidence for Lin Xiang to find her sister in Wind City after many years of searching. She threatened Lin Qiang to help her or she would divulge the secret of their family arts along with the fact that there was no cure.

Out of fear and maybe love of her new family and children, Lin Qiang tolerated.

But when she found out that Lin Xiang wanted Lin Qiang to help with the matter of Princess Yue's kidnapping, Lin Qiang refused. It was then Lin Xiang leaked the matter of Lin Family, cutting of all routes of retreat for Lin Qiang.

"Qiang'er…" Feng Qian Bo was present in order to guard the door. Or perhaps, it was also his older brother's kindness to allow him to hear the result from both sides.

"This is Feng Family emblem?" Long Qian Xing looked at the token that Lin Xiang used to enter Fei Yang Kingdom.

"Yes. Aunt lost hers once in the past," Feng Ao Kuai said with a cold tone.

"I see."

Long Qian Xing rubbed his forehead. He didn't expect that this matter would somehow related to the Feng Family. To think that there was actually a 'spy' in Feng Family.

"Lin Qiang had died a few days ago." Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at Long Qian Xing. "I hope Young Commander Long can ignore this matter."

"I won't dig into it."

The eyewitness might have long died too with Lin Qiang. He looked at Feng Ao Kuai as he contemplated a bit. It seemed that Feng Family already knew about the matter of Lin Qiang being a person of Lin Family.

"Did your aunt ever say anything regarding her family?"

"No. If not because two servants testify for it back then, we will not know." Feng Ao Kuai paused for a moment. "She didn't say anything about Lin Family plan as she committed suicide before we can interrogate her more."

It was not exactly the truth.

However, Long Qian Xing didn't want to bother with Feng Family internal problem either. The most important thing for them now was to catch the person who leaked the news to Lin Family.

Which maidservant it was?

Lin Xiang didn't reveal who it was, probably because she also knew that they wouldn't be able to identify her. She was keeping her mouth shut even though she was being threatened many times.

"Leave her here." Feng Qian Shao was exhausted. It was almost dawn and neither one of them had any sleep for the night. If not for the urgency of the matter, he would not have asked them to stay.
