Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Luo’s lips twitched. “What future wife? He hadn’t even met with her and you’re already saying that.”

Nan Hua shrugged. “With Brother Si’s personality, what kind of woman do you hope will fall for him?”

Nan Luo opened his mouth and closed it again.

Feng Ao Si is a very simple person and Nan Luo also knew about it well. As long as they could find someone who was genuinely good to Feng Ao Si, that would be for the best. Because if not, those women would only want to get close to him because of his position and his wealth.

Even though Feng Ao Si might not be the first option in many noble ladies’ heart, he was definitely better than many middle aged men.

“Let’s just see about it later. Feng Ao Kuai will have more say in this matter.” Nan Luo finally gave up.

Nan Hua nodded.

As long as Feng Ao Kuai agreed, Nan Si Qiao would have no qualms. After all, Nan Si Qiao believed more in Feng Ao Kuai’s vision as compared to Feng Ao Si’s vision.

The twins finished eating and not long afterwards Steward Tou came to them, telling Nan Luo that Xiao Family Second Young Master had come.

“Xiao Family Second Young Master?” Nan Luo felt his brain was blank. There were simply too many nobles in Fei Yang Kingdom that he himself was troubled to remember all of them.

Xiao Family was one of the few that he had trouble remembering because they have a lot of family members. To put it simply, the current family head is the first brother among three Xiao brothers because he was the first minister in Ministry of Personnel or Civil Appointments.

First Master Xiao have five children, three sons and two daughters. His second daughter is the third young miss because his younger brother also has daughter and she’s the current Empress. Second Master Xiao has two sons and two daughters. Lastly, Third Master Xiao has eight daughters. It was unknown whether the ninth child will be son or daughter, that is if he had another child.

Third Master Xiao was quite famous because of his daughter and Nan Luo had heard about it from time to time when he was still in the Academy in the Capital City. After all, it was rare to be able to have so many daughters. If he was not wrong, six of them were concubine daughters, so he could imagine that the battle in the household… must be very fierce.

And the second young master…. Should be the one under Second Master Xiao, right?

Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo and said quietly. “Second Young Master Xiao is Xiao Que Mao, the first son of Second Master Xiao. He’s a low rank official.”

“Thank you.” Nan Luo nodded.

The two of them walked to the front and Nan Hua was following from behind, acting like Nan Luo’s servant. Xiao Yan joined in later on, following Nan Luo beside Nan Hua. He felt that these noble families were truly a hassle, but being part of the nobility meant that it was impossible for them to avoid it.

It didn’t take long for Nan Luo to be see Xiao Que Mao, Second Young Master Xiao. He was dressed in relatively plain robe and stood under the tree, waiting calmly. His youthful appearance seemed to tell Nan Luo that the man he faced was also a young man and not an old fox like his grandfather.

“Second Young Master Xiao,” Nan Luo greeted.

“First Young Master Nan,” Xiao Que Mao quickly cupped his fist in return of the greeting. He showed a smile on his face as he looked at the young man in front of him. “I hope I didn’t disturb you with my visit today.”

“Don’t worry, Second Young Master Xiao.” Nan Luo smiled. Though internally he was complaining.

If he knew that he was disturbing, why did he have to come here?

Oh, being part of the noble families were very difficult. Nan Luo couldn’t imagine why anyone would want to be part of these political schemes that just made him feel more annoyed as time passed by.

“I have heard about First Young Master Nan’s accomplishment on the battlefield. I have to say that seeing for myself had broadened my view. Even though First Young Master is still young, your deeds are very remarkable.”

Nan Luo only smiled but didn’t reply. He felt that if he had to compare with his twin sister, he was still far lacking. Anyway, these kind of praises were common amongst these people when they talked with each other.

There was no point in taking it seriously.

“Does First Young Master Nan thought about obtaining permanent residence in Yi City? Even though Yi City is a new city, there are a lot of empty areas as the result of some unfortunate deaths.” Xiao Que Mao was trying to probe.

“That will depend on what my grandfather had to say. I myself had no interest in developing in Yi City for the time being.” Nan Luo knew how fierce the competition for these residences in Yi City would be.

These rich and influential people would not mind paying a lot of money if it meant that they could stay in Yi City and obtained good residence.

He didn’t really want to compete with them.

Not to mention that Nan Luo would have to leave Yi City a lot because of his role as a commander. Who would take care of the residence he had in this place, then? The servants might even make use of the residence and Nan Luo didn’t feel good when he thought about that.

“I see. That’s too bad…”

The two of them were being polite and probed each other.

Nan Hua listened from the back as her twin brother deflected each question and threw most of the problems on Old Master Nan’s head. She felt that her twin brother truly put their grandfather as a shield.
