Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 460 Ridiculous Plan

Nan Family Residence

"Hua'er!" Nan Luo rushed back home after he had heard what happened to Nan Hua. They did travel together, but Nan Hua was using different carriage. No matter how curious he was, he could only wait until they reached back home.

If only it was not because of those annoying etiquette and so on, Nan Luo would have long wanted to break the door towards Nan Hua's carriage when he heard that. How come those people dared to bully his twin sister?

He wanted to give them a beating!

But first, he needed to understand what had happened in the first place. If he went on a rampage at the wrong place and time, he would be the one who suffered in the end.

Nan Hua turned her head to look at Nan Luo. "What is it, Luo?"

"I have heard what had happened! Do you want me to go to Shangguan Family right away?" Nan Luo was furious.

No matter how much he kept on rejecting Long Qian Xing, he never wanted that man to accept another woman before even his sister enter his residence. Wasn't this the same as saying that he might pamper his concubine more than his main wife? Recalling what had happened to his mother, Nan Luo was undoubtedly angry.

If something like that were to happen, he would never ever forgive that man.

He would pummel Long Qian Xing to pulp.

As for being beaten in the process, Nan Luo didn't care. As long as he could teach Long Qian Xing a lesson, it would have been fine.

"There's no need." Nan Hua knew that Old Master Nan and Old Master Shangguan were friends. Since they met each other in the banquet not long ago, she was sure that her grandfather had already said something to Old Master Shangguan. The Shangguan Family wouldn't be peaceful tonight.

There will be something that had to be settled internally before it was spread out.

And besides, it was time for those people in the Shangguan Family to clean up the mess inside their own residence. The fact that rumors had spread would only serve as pressure for them.

Feng Ao Kuai had also rushed out. He looked at Nan Hua. "How about if I pay a visit to Long Family?"

"No."

There was really no point in trying to lash out at them because Nan Hua knew that Long Family didn't really have a choice in this matter. That was unless they wanted to go against the Imperial Family and possibly be exiled. Moving to another kingdom was not impossible, but they would lose everything they had built so far.

Besides, Nan Hua had already known that things might end up this way because Shangguan Mi was also Long Qian Xing's concubine in that story.

Though, she didn't even last for half a year.

And based on what Nan Hua remembered, after the next big war in which Long Qian Xing was forced to go back to the Capital City, Shangguan Mi would end up being kicked out on the very first day of Long Qian Xing's return and rumors spread.

It was said that she was the example of a shameless woman who failed because of the main character's principle. The time when the two of them were in the same residence together was not even a quarter of incense stick of time.

Her name became a joke in the Capital City.

Everyone knew this incident because of the Imperial Edict.

As for why they knew about what happened afterwards, Nan Hua remembered that Shangguan Mi made a fuss in front of Long Family Residence.

Every world or era never lacked people who didn't have anything better to do but to gossip with their friends.

Thus, rumors spread very quickly.

She didn't know what happened to her later on, though. The didn't mention this part as it was skipped because Shangguan Mi was nothing more than a side character that was only mentioned a few times then disappeared in the hundreds of chapters there.

What she knew was that, thanks to this move from Shangguan Mi, the Shangguan Family ended up interacting a lot with Long Qian Xing. And by Shangguan Family, it only referred to those influential in terms of military power and not those who were only riding the coattail of Shangguan Family's influence.

And Long Qian Xing also gained some benefit since they gave their assistance to him at the frontline.

Thus, it was not wrong for Long Qian Xing to take a step back.

Nan Hua also understood that Long Qian Xing might even have thought about this from the very moment he asked Empress Dowager Mei to not interfere with his internal problems. He wanted to take advantage of that not so smart Empress Dowager to build his own power.

"But…" Nan Luo was dissatisfied.

"Both of them will give answer tomorrow." Nan Hua was calm. She turned her head to look at her grandfather, who walked inside. "Isn't that right, Grandfather?"

Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter and extended his hand, lifting the young girl into his arm as if she was a little girl. "Yes, Shangguan Family will give us the answer we need."

"But to think that Empress Dowager Mei would give that ridiculous edict." Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows. His impression of those from Imperial Family was getting lower and lower.

"She's going against her son." Nan Hua was calm.

Empress Dowager Mei has been going against her son from time to time. Her target has been those who were close with Emperor Yang Zhou. She kept on messing with their lives by giving some ridiculous edict.

Of course, she couldn't cross the lines such as ordering them to head to the battlefield.

If she really do that, the Emperor would summon her in front of the officials to reprimand her because the military affairs were off limit for her.

This time was the same.

But the target was Long Qian Xing.
