Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“Yes.” Feng Ao Si nodded.

Sheng Qi Rou chuckled. “I guess, I’m not like what he said, am I?”

Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes.

Sheng Shan Lang had told him that his sister is strong and a person with her own opinion. However, she’s a good person. She just didn’t like with the so called rules that women had to follow every men’s arrangement.

Because the two of them had lost their parents ever since they were young, they were technically taking care of each other. During that time, Sheng Qi Rou was also involved in decision making.

She didn’t want to leave all the responsibility to her brother.

But it was also because of it that she had a personality that might not be too popular in this era.

“He said that you’re a strong person who have your own opinion,” Feng Ao Si answered honestly.

Sheng Qi Rou arched her eyebrows. That brother of her was surprisingly honest. “What do you think about woman who can decide on things herself?”

“I think they’re amazing.”

Having seen his own little cousin and what she could do, Feng Ao Si felt that strong women were amazing. And if he himself had to face a white lotus woman who only know how to act coquettish, then he wouldn’t be able to truly say that it was a good thing.

He definitely couldn’t deal with her well.

Hearing Feng Ao Si’s answer, Sheng Qi Rou’s smile grew wider, showing the dimples on her cheek. As a village woman, she was not dressed in beautiful dress, but she looked very beautiful like this.

Feng Ao Si felt that she looked good.

“That’s good to hear.” Sheng Qi Rou chuckled. “What kind of household do you like?”

“Household?” Feng Ao Si thought for a moment and then answered, “A warm and neat household.”

“Warm and neat, huh? That sounds good.”

“What about your opinion? Would you like to stay behind or do you want to go to the front?”

“I…”

The two of them began to talk with each other about their lives and what kind of life they expected in the future. Even though they didn’t discuss about marriage directly, they somehow got along well.

When they finished talking and entered again, Sheng Shan Lang looked at Feng Ao Si as if he had seen his savior. Being ‘brutally interrogated’ by Feng Ao Kuai will definitely cast shadow in his mind if it continued for a long time.

After dinner, Sheng Shan Lang prepared additional room for them to stay. The house was small, so there was only one room. The three cousins had to make do with it while Nan Hua opted to sleep outside.

She had no interest to sleep in such narrow room.

“Ao Si, I think I begin to pity the prisoners who are handed to your younger brother.” Sheng Shan Lang looked at Feng Ao Si and smiled bitterly.

Feng Ao Si: “…” my younger brother is not that bad, alright?

Even if Feng Ao Si knew that Feng Ao Kuai could be so brutal towards outsiders, Feng Ao Kuai would never truly hurt them for real. At most, it would only pranks that would torture them for a short period of time before things passed.

He didn’t say anything else to Sheng Shan Lang and headed to the room prepared for them. By now, Nan Luo had laid large cloth on the ground for them to sleep for the night. There was only one bed and there was no way the three of them would fit there.

Their other soldiers were already making tents outside.

Even he himself was considering making a tent for himself rather than staying in this room with his cousins.

“Ao Kuai, what did you say to Shan Lang?” Feng Ao Si felt that his younger brother might have used his interrogating method to talk with Sheng Shan Lang.

“I just ask about some basic question.” Feng Ao Kuai shrugged. “Then again, what’s your opinion about her?”𝑜𝑽𝑳xt.𝒸𝗈𝕞

Feng Ao Si was silent for a while.

Talking with Sheng Qi Rou for a bit, he understood that she was a type of person with many ideas. It would be hard for her to follow his order even if he were to give it, but then again, Feng Ao Si was not a person who liked to order other people.

He liked to go along with the flow and do things in accordance to what he wanted. But he would not force others and still listen to their words, especially if it was someone who was more knowledgeable and had more influence to him.

Listening to his wife if she had good opinion didn’t sound that bad either.

“She’s good.”

“You agree?” Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows.

“Yes.” Feng Ao Si nodded.

“Alright, I have already asked Mother to come. She will arrive in two days to talk about the details of your marriage. It’s impossible to get married during this break, so you will have to ask for another leave in a few months after everything is ready.”

Hearing his younger brother words, why did it feel as if Feng Ao Kuai had guessed that he would agree?

Feng Ao Si raised his head and looked at his younger brother, who was sitting on the ground leisurely. “So fast?”

“I don’t think you will have much opinion since you’re not against this arrangement in the first place. And Sheng Family is better than other noble families I have met so far.” Feng Ao Kuai shrugged his shoulder.

At the very least, he had interacted with Sheng Shan Lang and knew that he was not the type of person who will use his sister for his benefit. He truly wanted to find someone who was like minded and could get along well with his sister.

Feng Ao Kuai also knew that Sheng Shan Lang was honest when he talked about his sister to Feng Ao Si.

During that time, Feng Ao Si agreed to meet with Sheng Qi Rou.

Sheng Shan Lang had said many things and most of them were also the true personality and situation at his home.

What this mean?

At the very least, Feng Ao Si was not against the marriage and there was possibility the two of them would get married.

Thus, Feng Ao Kuai sent the letter to his mother so that she would not waste so much time on the journey while they had to wait here for a long time.

Feng Ao Si was silent.

For some reason, he had the feeling that his younger brother was looking down on him and dissing him as usual. But his younger brother’s words were hard to nitpick.

*sigh*

He smiled faintly. “Thank you.”

“I didn’t do anything and I only come here to find out whether you’re being fooled or not.”

“…Shan Lang is not a person like that.”

“I see.”

“You’re not going to keep targeting him, right?” Feng Ao Si suddenly had a bad premonition.

“Who knows?” Feng Ao Kuai pointed to the bed. “You sleep there. I’ll sleep on the ground.”

“Is it enough?”

“You’re the biggest among us, so use the bed.”

“Ok, ok.”

Feng Ao Si walked to the bed and silently lit a candle for Sheng Shan Lang in his heart.
