Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1606 Feng Ao Kuai and Mu Fei Jiu (1)

Nan Si Qiao looked at her second son and sighed silently. Since Feng Ao Kuai had decided so, she could only support him.

Besides, there was another matter that she wanted to talk with him.

“Mu Family requested for you to meet with Fourth Miss Mu, Mu Fei Jiu, before deciding for your marriage.”

For some people, marriage could be arranged without the two protagonists even meeting each other. Their parents would be the one settling everything and all they had to do was to go through the procedure and then lived together.

But for some families, they wanted the two people to meet each other first.

If they felt okay, then the marriage between the two people would be arranged immediately.

For Nan Si Qiao, it was important for her son to see the future bride first before deciding his marriage. Thus, she wished that he was willing to meet with Mu Fei Jiu first.

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. “In that case, I’ll meet her tomorrow.”

“That’s good.” Nan Si Qiao smiled brightly.

Seeing his mother so happy, Feng Ao Kuai rubbed his nose. He felt that his mother always cared for him greatly, but he didn’t care that much about this marriage matter. After all, there were many things that he himself wanted to do.

Marriage had long been thrown to the back of his mind.

“It’s getting late, let’s go and eat something. You should also rest after this.” Nan Si Qiao would feel heartache if she saw Feng Ao Kuai was so tired.

“Don’t worry, Mom.” Feng Ao Kuai followed his mother.

They bypassed the room where Feng Ao Qian was located. The maidservants and manservants bowed when they saw the two of them.

“Ao Qian has been wanting to enter the military too.” Nan Si Qiao sighed when she recalled that Feng Ao Qian clamoring to follow his brothers in the future. She hoped to stay with her third son, but he instead wanted to leave.

Feng Ao Kuai paused for a moment. “It’s fine if he wanted to enter in a few years, but it would be better for him to study in the academy first.”

“I know.” Nan Si Qiao sighed.

Feng Ao Qian was different from Feng Ao Si who had overwhelming talent for martial arts or Feng Ao Kuai who had deep mind. He was more simple minded and somewhat innocent, so Nan Si Qiao was worried that Feng Ao Qian would suffer if he entered the military.

Feng Ao Kuai knew what his mother was thinking and said quietly, “A child should grow happily without the need to worry about adult matters. When he grows up, he will slowly learn about it.”

Forcing a child to grow up will only deprive them of the simple happiness in their childhood.

Once passed, those were a time period that could never be returned.

Nan Si Qiao looked at her second and son and sighed, not replying anything. But she herself knew that it was the truth.

…

<The next day, Nan Family Residence>

Old Master Nan heard about Mu Fei Jiu’s arrival with her cousin and his expression was a bit strange.

“That brat Mu Sheng Xi come so early?”

He thought that Mu Sheng Xi was still in Mu Family’s area and hadn’t arrived yet.

“The one who come is Third Miss Mu from General Mu’s house, Old Master.” Steward Tong explained.

Old Master Nan scratched the back of his head.

If he was not wrong, General Mu have four daughters, all had been married away. The first daughter was married to General Cao and from the last report, it was said that she committed suicide for not being able to bear with the humiliation after her husband’s betrayal. The second daughter was married to a commander on the battlefield and the third daughter was married to an official in the Capital City.

He was not sure about the fourth one, though.

“I see. Let them see Nan Si Qiao. I have no time to entertain these ladies.” Old Master Nan was currently thinking about what kind of excuse should he use when he tried to pay a visit to Nan Hua.

Or should he just invite her here?

That was not impossible.

Steward Tong bowed and rushed to report to Nan Si Qiao. Upon hearing that two women from Mu Family came, Nan Si Qiao called Feng Ao Kuai and went forward to welcome them.

“Madam Feng.” The two women curtsied when they saw Nan Si Qiao.

The oldest one was Mu Fei Jiu’s cousin, Mu Kai Liu, who had been staying in the Capital City because of her marriage. She was dressed properly in beige colored dress and decorative hairpin. The way she brought herself showed that she was taught proper demeanor.

The other one was Mu Fei Jiu. Knowing that she would come to see her future husband, Mu Fei Jiu purposely dressed up nicely. She was wearing a long pink hue colored dress with her hair curled up to form two buns and tied into a hairpin. This way, she looked really lovely and cute.

“There’s no need to be so polite, Third Miss Mu, Fourth Miss Mu,” Nan Si Qiao asked them to stand up and felt that her head hurt when she called them.

When a family was breaking out from others, their title would be reshuffled.

It was truly a challenge to remember all the names and titles.

“Thank you, Madam Feng.” Mu Kai Liu smiled elegantly. She was entrusted by her uncle to accompany her cousin to pay a visit here because Mu Fei Jiu no longer had a mother. As for her older sister?

It was a bit too much asking for a princess to come forward.

In the end, she was the one selected to come.

“It’s a bit hot outside. Let’s go inside and have a talk.” Nan Si Qiao smiled and invited them.

It was still early morning, how can the sun be hot?

But they didn’t say that out loud and followed behind Nan Si Qiao.
