Forgotten Legend Of The Bloodied Flower

Chapter 81 - Punishment

However, looking at the clean appearance of Nan Luo, there was no sign of him having just hunted. Besides, how should he hunt if he didn't bring anything with him. His excuse of taking a walk with Nan Hua sounded more plausible.

Hunt with bare hands...

Ever since a long time ago, it was the common sense that they would hunt with bows and arrows. Some of them would even hunt with swords. But if it was bare hand, it would be very difficult.

"You..."

Nan Hua waved her hand to Hou Liang as if saying that he should take over.

Hou Liang stood before Aunt Mo. "Are you the one who ordered the servants to come here or is it Concubine Qu? If it's the latter, I would send news to Minister Nan that his new wife had just committed a crime and had to be punished with 50 strokes."

50 Strokes?

Aunt Mo's eyelids twitched heavily. She wanted to shake her head because she knew that it wouldn't end well for her. But if she allowed Concubine Qu to be punished right here, wouldn't it be over.

"You're the one with the highest status here and these servants naturally follow your order. Or you want to deny that they come through your order?" Nan Hua tilted her head, asking nonchalantly.

Her indifferent attitude and fearlessness cast a shadow in the eyes of everyone who was present. They all thought of her as an unremarkable young lady of Nan Family. But it seemed that when she was forced to the corner, she still could fight back and argue reasonably.

After all, if news that she and Nan Luo hunted at the mountain spread, it would be very unbecoming of them.

Aunt Mo didn't have any other choice but to accept the punishment.

"I'll be taking them away for punishment. Young Master and Young Miss, you should rest first." Hou Liang looked at the servants from Nan Family as he waved his hand. The soldiers moved swiftly to make sure that they would not be left behind.

The monk was watching from a distance. He looked at the forest. "While the forest is still part of the temple, it's unbecoming of you to walk around without anyone around."

Nan Luo's face darkened.

"What would you do if there's anything that happen when you're not under supervision? You're just a child who's still wet behind the ears. Copy the scripture if you have nothing else to do but to create trouble." The monk was cold.

Nan Hua furrowed her brows. She was about to refute when she felt Nan Luo tugged her clothes. He smiled reassuringly to his twin sister.

"Alright, I'll copy them."

"You're not the only one who..."

"I'm the one who drag my twin sister along. Because it's my fault, I should be the only one to get punished." Nan Luo smiled brightly yet there was no mirth in his eyes. If this monk was adamant to make sure his sister was punished along with him, he would debate with him all the time.

The monk looked at Nan Luo's expression then nodded coldly. "Fine."

"In that case, I'll take some bamboo..."

"Not here, come with me." The monk snorted and turned around while chanting some words.

Nan Luo took a deep breath. He forgot that since he and Nan Hua were still very young, they were not allowed to walk around alone. Even though it was still in the small forest right beside the Southern Courtyard, it was still unbecoming of him.
