Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“I only have this one grandson, so naturally I’ll take care of him.” Old Master Nan shrugged. 

If he didn’t take care of his grandson, who should he take care? Those bastards who claimed to be his family members after leaving him for many decades?

He better sent them all to the wolf’s den rather than taking care of them.

Great General Wei thought for a moment. He had actually seen his daughter taking care Nan Luo’s injuries in the army when Nan Luo was still under him. If he had to say, his daughter seemed to be fond of Nan Luo too.

Compared to his first daughter, his second daughter knew etiquette better. At the same time, she would always maintain the distance between men and women with the other soldiers.

But with Nan Luo, that distance was closer.

This alone had already shown that Nan Luo had better impression in front of Wei Mu Qing.

As a father, Great General Wei still knew when his daughter had fancied someone. Nan Luo himself was not a bad man. At the very least, there was no strange rumors aside from the fact that Nan Luo was said to be very protective of his twin sister.

“Nan Hou Xiang?” Great General Wei suddenly asked.

Old Master Nan blinked his eyes.

If he had to say, he had long forgotten this name if not for Great General Wei mentioning him again. Nan Hou Xiang was his son’s child from a concubine. Due to the matter of his son back then, Nan Hou Xiang was living in a separate courtyard and had very limited resources to live.

He had actually completely forgotten about this brat.

“I never acknowledge him as my grandson.” Old Master Nan rubbed his forehead. “There are some items left from my son’s properties that will be given to him. Anyway, those things are not rare.”

Aside from Nan Luo and Nan Hua’s mother’s dowry, there were also some properties that their father’s had. But those properties were only two small shops which was not very profitable.

They didn’t lack this little money.

Not to mention, they kind of despise their father.

Old Master Nan also didn’t want to take those things, so he handed those two shops to Nan Hou Xiang. 

If Nan Hou Xiang wanted to get married, his betrothal gifts could come from those two shops.

lightsnοvεl Anyway, Old Master Nan basically didn’t care.

Nan Hou Xiang himself was in no position to refuse. He was already despised by many people and for him to be able to continue his study and fight for the future was already the highest treatment he could receive. 

For so many years, he was being left alone to study on the academy and no one cared for him.

With almost no one from Nan Family stay in the Capital City, it was estimated that Nan Hou Xiang’s life would be very difficult. But because he still bore the bloodline of Nan Family, Old Master Nan didn’t kill him.

He just left that person be.

If Nan Hou Xiang still wanted to make trouble for Nan Luo or his granddaughter, he believed that these two could handle it themselves.

“I see.” Great General Wei was not very clear about Old Master Nan’s drama in the Capital City. Having stayed at the border for most of his life and also in the city that was stationed under him, Great General Wei only heard of the rumors from time to time.

But those were definitely not enough for him to understand what had actually happened back then.

Anyway, he would not meddle in Old Master Nan’s private family matters.

Whether Old Master Nan cared for Nan Hou Xiang or not, it was actually not his business.

“So, do you agree with this?” Old Master Nan asked with a smirk. “How many marriage offers had you received so far?”

How many marriage offers?

Great General Wei thought of his wife who was worried at home for their children and pursed his lips.

For his son, there was naturally no lack of marriage offers. But Wei Mu Bai was not interested in these and continued to run to the frontline to avoid being pushed by his mother to get married.

He was more interested in getting more achievement at the battlefield than finding a wife to continue the bloodline.

For his first daughter, the situation was very complicated. As a daughter who fought on the frontline and had achieved some achievement, not many people were willing to have her into the house. They felt that she was too valiant and didn’t know the etiquette necessary for a daughter in law.

Fighting on the frontline and interacted with many male soldiers, his first daughter’s reputation was already very bad.

It would be a miracle if there was anyone from the noble family who would want to propose marriage to her. 

So Great General Wei was planning on arranging for his commanders, who was good enough, to get married into the house. Anyway, something like this was not impossible even though it was rare. 

For his second daughter, she was still young. Her reputation was better, but she also followed him to the battlefield, which made some people hesitated. His wife was already very anxious back at home because there were no good men who came to propose marriage to their daughters.

Nan Luo could be said to be the first.

Great General Wei sighed. “Do you have many conflicts in the Capital City?”

“Not really. Many of those who opposed me had already fallen.” Old Master Nan shrugged very naturally.

Of course, not all of them dead. A portion of them were already demoted very badly due to the people Nan Hua planted in the court. But of course he would not say it.

Unless the Emperor suddenly turned around and feel that Nan Family was too dangerous to exist, they would be fine for the next few decades without many troubles.
