Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Thankfully the servants had all left. If they were to hear the two great general talked this way, it was estimated that their jaw would drop to the ground due to shock.

The two of them might be separated by a generation, but they have good relationship with each other. During several wars, they had cooperated together several times and thus, they could communicate well.

But in the matter of their children, that was another matter altogether.

Great General Wei rolled his eyes. “Most other men still follow their elders’ arrangement for their marriage…”

“And then took concubines on their own,” Old Master Nan interrupted. 

Great General Wei shrugged, noncommittal about it.

The law of taking concubines was still there. Thus, it was common for men to pick concubines for their own.

Thankfully, not all men was allowed to do this.

People from the lower background and peasants were usually not able to have concubines. Besides, can they really feed the person in their home?

It was estimated that they would starve to death first.

Living cost was not small and having to feed another person was not that easy. After all, aside from eating, they also needed to fulfill other costs. 

“Your granddaughter told me that your grandson has no intention to take any concubine. Can I believe her words?” Great General Wei asked in a low voice. 

Great General Wei is not close to Nan Hua. The main reason why the two of them talked with each other was because he knew Nan Hua’s identity and also because she’s his master’s disciple.

He still gave face to his master.

And from what he knew, his master would not pick just anyone to be his disciple. Even if some of them were annoying like that third senior brother of his, they were all still a relatively good people.

Shan Yu, who was far away, suddenly sneezed.

lightsΝοvel He looked around him suspiciously, wondering who was talking bad about him. There were a lot of people who wanted to beat up his Master but they ended up turning to him.

He often felt very miserable in this regard.

“Yes, that’s true.” Old Master Nan did talk with Nan Luo about this.

Nan Luo told him that he didn’t want to repeat his father’s mistake. Even though his position might be a bit higher because of one thing and another, Nan Luo didn’t want to take any concubine. For him, one was enough.

Besides, he believed that many women were actually very capable. Not as good as his sister, but they have their own capabilities.

It was only because the rule was restricting them that they couldn’t show it on the surface and had to be confined in their backyard. He couldn’t change the rule, but he wanted to give them the respect of only having one wife in his life without any concubine.

After Old Master Nan listened to his grandson’s words, he felt relieved.

After all, he was also worried that his son’s action back then would be repeated. 

“I see.” Great General Wei nodded. “But I still don’t like you.”

“…You don’t have to like me. I just need your daughter to like my grandson,” Old Master Nan continued righteously.

Great General Wei rolled his eyes.

He knew that this old man has always been very shameless. It was just that there were not many people who could see and still remember this trait from Old Master Nan. Many of his old comrades have already passed away and couldn’t return again.

Thus, there were not many people who was willing to accompany and chat with Old Master Nan.

“Heh, such eloquence.” Great General Wei snorted.

Old Master Nan smirked and said, “Just be honest, do you really want your daughter to be a concubine of someone else?”

With Great General Wei’s status, there were only a few families who could get his daughter to be a concubine. For example, the Imperial Family….

But Great General Wei had never thought of finding a relationship through his daughter. He got married late and loved his children a lot. There was no way he wanted to let his daughter enter a wolf den.

He loved his daughter very much and hoped that she would be able to live a good life in the future. But he also knew that the current situation was not very easy for women. Many men were not good people.

Great General Wei’s original plan was to let a son in law marry into his family.

After all, he wanted his daughter to inherit his medical capability teaching and continued it. If she was married to others, it was estimated that she would not be able to continue her practice and instead be confined.

But if it was Nan Family…

Nan Hua is also a woman and had learned medicine even better than many other people. If Wei Mu Qing could learn from Nan Hua, it would also be pretty good. It was just that Great General Wei will not show that he was satisfied on his face. 

He still disliked the pigs that were aiming for his cabbage. 

“Quote your price.” 

“Heh.” Old Master Nan then stated several things that would be given as betrothal gifts for his grandson. For Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai, they were from Feng Family, so the betrothal gifts were definitely from Feng Family. He would only add some small items as their grandfather.

But Nan Luo was different. 

He’s the sole successor of Nan Family, so Old Master Nan will definitely prepare the best for him. 

More than half of his properties will be inherited by Nan Luo while the rest, including the shops that previously belonged to their mother, will be inherited by Nan Hua. Anyway, Old Master Nan knew that Nan Hua was very rich, so these small items will be taken by Nan Luo instead.

Many properties had already changed name from him to his grandsons by now.

“You have heart,” Great General Wei heard the generous price and finally commented. From this bride price alone, he knew that Old Master Nan was serious in setting the two children together.
