Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 467 Visiting Long Family Residence

Going back home, Nan Hua didn’t try to turn and look in Shangguan Die’s direction anymore. The secret of the Second Shangguan Family that Shangguan Die told her… she already knew about that.

In fact, it was something that couldn’t be kept a secret since there were some eyewitnesses who survived. Nan Hua knew about it from the investigation she had asked Dark Moon Organization did to Shangguan Family.

However, she didn’t plan on leaking it out.

It would be better to watch the drama in Shangguan Family played out from a distance rather than embroiling herself in their battle.

As for their ending?

She would not interfere in the slightest bit and let them fought it out themselves. In this matter, she was nothing more than an outsider who was watching a performance played out by those people.

When Nan Hua returned, it was already dark.

”Hua’er, did you have a hard time?” Old Master Nan asked as he walked closer to his granddaughter.

Nan Hua shook her head. “I have a good time, Grandfather.”

”That’s good to hear.” Old Master Nan knew that Nan Hua was visiting Shangguan Die. While he was a bit surprised as to why Nan Hua would want to visit that fiery girl, he chose to let he do what she wanted rather than restricting her actions. “In two weeks, we’re going to go. Is there anything you want to do in the meantime?”

”Grandfather, how about telling story about your previous battles?” Nan Hua asked. She had heard many of them, but it was impossible for Old Master Nan to have no story to tell. He had lived for so long and naturally it also meant there were many stories to tell.

As expected, Old Master Nan’s eyes lit up. “Of course! Come to my study room after dinner to have some story.”

”Yes, Grandfather.”

”Oh right, that old woman sent a message.” Old Master Nan furrowed his eyebrows when he recalled this matter. If only it was possible, he didn’t want to let Nan Hua had any interaction whatsoever with Long Family.

However, the two families were tied with marriage engagement.

Aside from the fact that he was old friend with Old Master Long.

”Yes?”

”She wants you to visit Long Family Residence before that brat departed to the frontline.” Old Master Nan’s mood soured almost immediately. “If you don’t want to go there, I can send a message on your behalf.”

”I have promised Brother Long,” Nan Hua gave her simple answer.

In other words: I will come.

Old Master Nan sighed and nodded. “Fine, but you’re not allowed to stay for a long time. For other people, you should just say that you visit because Old Madam Long’s health hadn’t been good, alright?”

”Yes, Grandfather,” Nan Hua answered obediently.

When Nan Hua first came to this world, she was also visiting Old Madam Long because of her poor health. Honestly, Nan Hua also wondered if there was any special reason why Old Madam Long wanted her to visit Long Family Residence at this time.

Whatever it was, she would just wait tomorrow.

Thus the night passed quietly with Nan Hua listening to Old Master Nan’s old story.

Of course, Nan Hua was not alone as the other three also came. Feng Ao Si was honestly only dragged along by his younger brother and forced to hear the stories. He would prefer to be training, but now he had no other choice but to listen to the story.

…

Long Family Residence

Nan Hua originally didn’t have any plan to come so early. However, Old Madam Long sent a carriage to Nan Family Residence as if telling her that she was already impatient. In the end, Nan Hua only had simple breakfast and quickly donned some accessory before departing.

Thankfully, Old Madam Long still gave her enough time to change clothes to the proper one.

The Long Family Residence was still the same as what Nan Hua previously remembered. It was decorated nicely and Old Madam Long welcomed her happily in the main hall. If not because the weather was still too cold for her to come out, she would have long welcomed Nan Hua outside the hall.

”Hua’er! You’ve finally come!” Old Madam Long was ecstatic. She had been waiting for Nan Hua to come back for so long.

If not for that stingy old man not allowing Nan Hua to leave, she would really want to kidnap this little girl here.

”Grandmother,” Nan Hua greeted politely.

Old Madam Long’s smile grew wider. “Good, Hua’er. I thought that that stingy old man will never let you off, but it’s good that you come here.”

Nan Hua nodded politely. Normally, Old Master Nan would not agree with Old Madam Long’s request. But since Nan Hua herself wanted to come, Old Master Nan took a step back by allowing this to happen.

In front of Old Madam Long, Nan Hua began to tell the stories of what had happened in Wind City. She carefully selected some rumors that didn’t contain any secret in order not to expose what she was really doing.

Old Madam Long also shared some things that happened in the Capital City.

Their conversation was long and fun. Nan Hua learned many things from Old Madam Long, including some things that she never expected. The saying ‘the older the wiser’ seemed to be true for Old Madam Long.

”Grandmother, it’s time for lunch.” Long Qian Xing knocked and entered the hall. His eyes were filled with warmth when he saw his grandmother.

Old Madam Long was stunned. “It’s already this late? Come and join us for lunch, Hua’er. I have asked the kitchen to cook your favorite food.”

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and obeyed. Looking at the food that servants prepared, she could guess that they were the same type of meals that she used to eat back at Nan Family Residence. She didn’t really have any preferences for food, so she didn’t necessarily care about it.

”Qian Xing, you should eat more.” Old Madam Long furrowed her eyebrows. She didn’t like her grandson to eat too little.

”Grandma, I have eaten a bit outside.” Long Qian Xing was speechless.

”What do you mean you have eaten? Do you dislike the food?”

”It’s not like that.”

In the end, Long Qian Xing chose to add more food so that he would not make his grandmother worried.
