Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Hearing his daughter’s words, Old Master Nan’s expression turned strange.

It sounded very logical.

He sighed deeply when he thought about his second grandson who was extremely smart and seemed to be able to do many things that other people might not even think normally.

“Well, then prepare some food for him to eat after the exam? Even if he’s smart and capable, he will be tired after the exam, right?” Old Master Nan reminded.

“You’re right.” Nan Si Qiao thought about this and quickly stood up. After a few steps, she suddenly stopped. “Right, the girl from the Mu Family is accompanying him, right?”

Old Master Nan coughed and looked away.

He would not say that he purposely leaked the day of the examination to Mu Fei Jiu in order to have the little girl build more relationship with his grandson. After all, with Feng Ao Kuai’s personality, he estimated that it would take a long time for him to be the one to take initiative in many matters.

It would be better for him to give some boost.

Just a bit is fine.

Nan Si Qiao looked at her father speechlessly. It seemed that she underestimated her father and his means.

Shaking her head slightly, Nan Si Qiao was considering to ask the servants to make more food for her future daughter in law. Would Mu Fei Jiu come to eat in their house today?

…

<Feng Ao Kuai’s side>action

Right now, the person in question was boarding the carriage and smiled at the beauty in front of him. It was unexpected that Mu Fei Jiu would take the initiative to come and even prepare him food.

“The examination might take some time because there are a lot of people. If there’s a break, you can eat the food I have prepared,” Mu Fei Jiu explained with a sweet smile.

Feng Ao Kuai rubbed his nose and nodded. “Thank you.”

“It’s nothing much.” 

The carriage was moving in a slow pace and Feng Ao Kuai was not in a hurry. He purposely woke up much earlier than the designated time in order to have some time on the journey. 

He looked forward and looked at Mu Fei Jiu.

Today, Mu Fei Jiu was wearing light peach brocade dress. There were a few hairpins on her head, maintaining a beautiful and simple hairstyle. Even though Mu Fei Jiu was already 16 years old, she still looked somewhat childish.

Even if she acted coquettish and naïve, it didn’t seem to look strange at all.

“Thank you for coming to see me today, Fourth Miss Mu,” Feng Ao Kuai finally said after a short of awkward silence.

“My fiancé is going to take examination. How can I not come to take him to the examination’s location?” Mu Fei Jiu asked back, there was a hint of smile within her voice.

Feng Ao Kuai smiled back. “Fourth Miss Mu is polite and considerate.”

Considerate?

Mu Fei Jiu sighed inside her heart. It was not like she wanted to be considerate, but she was thinking about how they would interact with each other in the future. Even if she would be Feng Ao Kuai’s wife, the position of a woman has always been lower in this era.

If she didn’t take the initiative to please him and get close to him, it would be hard for them to get along in the future.

Of course, she would not everything excessively.

She had good impression of him and wished that he would also treat her well after their marriage, so she was willing to be more considerate. 

It was just that if her father were to hear what she was thinking, it was estimated that he would be angry. He always doted on her and didn’t want her to be wronged at all if it was possible. 

“I wish Second Young Master Feng to pass the examination smoothly,” Mu Fei Jiu said solemnly.

Even if she was not an ambitious person, she knew that Feng Ao Kuai had his own goals in his life. She couldn’t do much, but she had to be the one to support him.

“Then I will thank you first for your blessing. May it be as what you say,” Feng Ao Kuai responded with a smile.

The two of them proceeded with some light talks. There were many topics that could be talked about and Feng Ao Kuai’s vast knowledge was more than enough to make sure the conversation continued smoothly.

It was only after they arrived at the venue did Mu Fei Jiu realized that so much time has passed.

“I wish you success. May the Heaven be with you,” Mu Fei Jiu said as she looked outside.

“Thank you again, Fourth Miss Mu.” Feng Ao Kuai smiled and slowly alighted down the carriage. His movements were light and graceful, not showing any awkwardness in the slightest bit.

Those who didn’t know would think of him as a gentle gentleman who was very elegant and handsome.

Watching from the back, even Mu Fei Jiu sighed.

She had to say that being able to be engaged with Feng Ao Kuai seemed to be her luck. Or perhaps, it was the light of being close with Nan Hua.

“Miss, would you like to wait here?” Mu Fei Jiu’s maidservants asked.

After Mu Fei Jiu was engaged to Feng Ao Kuai, she had no other choice but to recruit a few more maidservants. It was still not as many as when she was part of the Mu Family, but it was more than it used to be when she thought that she would not need many and only keep the few essential ones.

Feng Ao Kuai was also considerate and send her a few whom she could immediately use.

“Yes. Buy me some pastries for me to eat while I was waiting.” Mu Fei Jiu nodded and leaned on the chair.

“Yes, Miss.”

lightsnοvεl Miss.

Mu Fei Jiu thought about her new position after she got married later and there was a faint determination within her eyes. She will make sure to be a good lady who will not shame her family’s name.

Of course, in her own way.
