Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 732: Betrayal?

Chapter 732: Betrayal?

Nan Hua watched the farce in front of her with an indifferent expression. The feeling of betrayal was now firmly planted within these two people. Previously, they would always work together and schemed together.         

    

But with this crack between the two of them, how could they work seamlessly like before?     

One action destroyed everything.     

Trust was so easily destroyed.     

One action was more than enough.     

Nan Hua's eyes flashed as she controlled her mind to not think of her past events anymore. The only person who could affect her so much from her original world was the very person who betrayed her.     

And the betrayal was different from these two who were set up to distrust each other.     

"Bring these two to my study." Nan Shu Cheng felt headache. He looked at the surrounding people and waved his hand. "Send them all back to their original place. We have a lot to talk about."     

Nan Hou Xiang looked at his father's expression and noticed the icy cold expression on his face. Right now, his heart had cooled down and there was no longer any trace of expectation or hope anymore.     

For some reasons, he felt that there was really no one on his side anymore.     

Looking at his mother who was still cursing him so loudly, Nan Hou Xiang felt the world he used to know was no more. His mother would not be on his side anymore. His father would not trust him anymore.     

'Why did I work so hard before?'     

Nan Hou Xiang wanted to make his mother and his father go together. He just wanted to see them being harmonious like before. But looking at the scene in front of him, he felt that it was nothing more than a pipe dream.     

There was no way his father would ever turn to look at his mother anymore.     

And he himself realized it.     

His mother had changed.     

At this moment, Nan Hou Xiang decided to no longer care about his mother's affair and tried to interfere. If the end result was only for her to doubt him and even cursed him, why should he bother to help her?     

"Everyone disperse."     

"Yes."     

The servants moved the fastest when they saw Nan Shu Cheng's black face. They didn't want to stay there any longer in fear that Nan Shu Cheng would really direct his anger towards them.     

The other concubines also tactfully return to their courtyard.     

"Mother, would this affect us?" Nan Xin asked in a low tone when they walked away from the scene.     

Concubine Mei's face was frosty. She didn't expect that the one who would cause such a scene was actually that young boy. Even though there was something that didn't match up, she didn't think that such a boy would be so ruthless.     

He's only 13!     

Looking at her daughter, Concubine Mei's expression turned colder. "Xin'er, you should never follow him, you understand?"     

Nan Xin looked at her mother with puzzled expression. She nodded lightly but there was a flash within her eyes. Naturally, she would not do anything that would cause her to be put in disadvantages like Nan Hou Xiang.         

    

"I know."     

"Do you really understand?"     

"Yes, Mother."     

It was only after Concubine Mei repeated the same question did she feel relieved. She didn't want her daughter to have any weird ideas because of Nan Hou Xiang's stupidity just now. It would only put her in a bad situation.     

Beside her, Nan Xin had an unreadable expression.     

…     

Nan Hua didn't stay outside for a long time and returned after watching that show. The night passed quietly without any disturbances for her, but Nan Hua heard from her servants about Nan Hou Xiang.     

It was said that the servants acted on their own without Nan Hou Xiang's permission or even knowledge. However, they all knew that it was all lies.     

Still, because of this, Nan Hou Xiang evaded any punishment. His mother would be moved away to stay in another quarter, so the number of shadow guards around Nan Hua had also decreased. Many of them were moved to watch over Madam Qu.     

"Even after all of this, he's not punished?" Xiao Yun felt that Nan Shu Cheng's bias is really something. Even after his son nearly killed his wife, he still chose to protect his son and said that it was all the servants' fault.     

How many people could accept this.     

"It's a loss?" Ran asked in a low voice.     

"Not at all." Mu Yan came while carrying a tray. "The seed of doubt has been planted."     

And the relationship between Nan Hou Xiang and his mother would never be the same anymore. After experiencing something like this, would they be able to continue trusting each other deeply like they did before?     

If they really could, it meant that both mother and son truly deeply love each other.     

But looking at Nan Hou Xiang's expression the night before, Mu Yan didn't think that way. Nan Hou Xiang no longer would do everything for his mother. And this was also a piece of good news for them.     

At the very least, Nan Hou Xiang would not seek trouble for Nan Hua anymore.     

"Oh right, Her Highness Princess Hu marry into Shangguan Yu's Residence today." Xiao Yun recalled another matter. "Would Miss like to see it?"     

Mu Yan doubted that Nan Hua would want to watch it. However, she still went over to ask with Xiao Yun while carrying the lunch.     

Nan Hua listened to their words and shook her head. "There's no need."     

The two servants looked at each other at Nan Hua's words, but neither one of them question her action. In their eyes, no matter what Nan Hua wanted to do, it was fine.     

In fact, Nan Hua could already guess the end result.     

Shangguan Yu was a very ambitious man while Princess Hu was a very proud person. To unite the two of them together, would it end up well?     

99% chance stated that it was impossible.     

The 1% was left for if miracle occurred and the two of them somehow made up with each other and accepted this arrangement wholeheartedly.
