Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1562 There’s a Limit

The Ku Family had already thrived from the time when he was still in Zhang Xu Kingdom. Ku You’s name was not unfamiliar for him.

He was one of the few talented officials who had made some contribution and had some capabilities. It was just that Chi Dong Wei never truly paid much attention to the matter of the court because he was busy at the frontline.

Now, he had no other choice but to take a look.

‘Jian Yu Tan.’

Looking at the woman who was walking with a dignified look and the servants who followed her, Chi Dong Wei knew that she never cared for him. Their relationship was nothing more than a political marriage that was set by their families for the sake of power.

Once they were divorced, they shouldn’t care for each other.

Chi Dong Wei took a deep breath and lowered his gaze. Receiving the letters asking for support from Jian Yu Tan, he foolishly believed her and spent his hard earned money for her.

Now, what did he receive?

It was nothing more than heartlessness from these people.

A person’s feeling had a limit. Being exploited again and again, Chi Dong Wei knew that he had reached his final limit.

He could no longer tolerate it.

He was already in his mid-forties, a middle aged man who had lived more than half of his life. Wasting his time for the people who didn’t deserve it, he felt that he was indeed a truly foolish person.

Chi Dong Wei slowly put down the cup down on the table and left money.

This shall be the last time he came here.

Once he came back, it was time for him to settle those white eyed wolves so that they would stop sucking on him.

And Jian Yu Tan?

It was time to forget that this person ever existed.

…

Time passed quietly.

The turmoil caused by the fall of Zhang Xu Kingdom slowly subsided. And in the midst of their business and heavy workload, the anticipated celebration slowly unfolded.

Originally, Nan Hua was planning on coming without any veil whatsoever. After all, she had already showed her face on the battlefield. But for some reason Long Qian Xing and Nan Luo nagged her about it.

It was to the point that she was speechless.

In the end, Nan Luo came to her secretly while carrying a helmet.

“Hua’er, at least wear a helmet so that they didn’t have to take a look at your face,” Nan Luo said with an extremely serious face.

Nan Hua looked at the helmet that Nan Luo brought and felt that her twin brother worry too much. When a woman had married, they would no longer wear a veil when they participated in any banquet.

It was only because they were unmarried that they were still wearing veil.

As a noble lady, Nan Hua would indeed follow the etiquette to wear a veil.

But as a soldier, it was quite inappropriate.

As for helmet?

She didn’t want to be like Great General Wei who was remembered because he always wore his helmet almost all the time. It was estimated that he only opened that helmet of his when he was in his own residence without anyone else around.

“There’s no need, Luo.”

lightsΝοvel.cοm “But you’re still a young lady, Hua’er.” Nan Luo pursed his lips. He had purposely sneaked out of his carriage so that he could pay a short visit to Nan Hua. Thinking about how many men would be able to see Nan Hua’s face later, Nan Luo felt extremely uncomfortable.

Ah!

He really wanted to drag Nan Hua and hide her in a faraway place so that no one would be able to see her nor coveting her.

That Long Qian Xing alone was already really troublesome.

“I’ll wear makeup to tone down my features a bit.” Nan Hua pushed the helmet back. With the two of them already 18 years old, they no longer looked so similar to each other. Her features were more delicate and beautiful while Nan Luo’s appearance was more defined and mature.

Unless they purposely wear makeup to hide some of their differences, no one would think that they were one person. At most, they would think that the two of them were siblings because of the similarities.

Nan Luo pouted. “Then make sure to protect yourself. There will be a lot of people from Zhang Xu Kingdom who attended the celebration.”

“You’re one to talk. The Emperor will call majority of you to the front for your contribution, so you have to be prepared.” Nan Hua shook her head.

“Huh? But our rewards had been distributed, though?”

“Great General Wei only gave you all heads up so that you can be prepared and not be too surprised later.” Nan Hua knew how much Emperor Yang Zhou paid attention to this celebration. With his elation, it was estimated that this celebration banquet will definitely last a long time.

“I see.” Nan Luo sighed and took the helmet back. “Don’t follow any stranger and be careful when facing those old foxes later.”

“I know.”

Nan Hua watched as Nan Luo slipped away again and shook her head slightly. Having such a twin brother was quite a hassle, but he was also really cute.

After Nan Luo left, Nan Hua looked at the bronze mirror in front of her and started to wear her makeup. She was not only a soldier but also a young lady, so she still dressed herself up.

Before long, she had finished.

This time, she wore light purple dress that looked relatively plain but also suitable for a noble lady. Her hair was tied into one bun with intricate and relatively simple braid pattern. Her makeup toned down her fair skin and delicate features so that it looked more ordinary, but it couldn’t completely hide her charm.

Chu Yue was watching Nan Hua and sighed silently inside her heart.

If not because she had already been quite ‘immune’ to Nan Hua’s face, it was estimated that even she herself will fall for Nan Hua.
