Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490 Empty Threat

Madam Qu's face turned ashen when she heard what Nan Shu Cheng said. "Shu Cheng, didn't you promise that you will stay with me tonight?"

"Not now." Nan Shu Cheng felt irritated and waved his hand. He walked away amidst the call from Madam Qu.

Nan Hou Xiang grabbed his mother's hand. He had to stop his mother before she was put in the worse position in the battle with the other concubines. Everyone were waiting for Madam Qu to fall from grace, so she had to conduct herself properly.

"Are you that worried, Madam Qu?" Concubine Mei asked with a smile. "It's just one night. He spent more than half a month in your place."

Madam Qu turned her head and looked at her longtime nemesis. She grunted. "It's not your business."

Concubine Mei chuckled but said nothing more. She knew that provoking Madam Qu was pleasant, but she had to be careful because the one who controlled the harem was this woman before her. She stood up.

"I'll go back with my daughter first. Please excuse me, Sisters."

"Take care, Sister Mei."

"Be careful on your way, Sister Mei."

Nan Xin unwillingly stood up and followed her mother. She still wanted to watch the show longer. Even though she had been calling Madam Qu as her 'mother,' there was no way she would truly acknowledge her as her own mother.

"Mom, why can't we stay there longer?" Nan Xin asked in a low voice.

"Hitting her a bit is fine, but if we overdid it, she's going to retaliate." Concubine Mei chuckled. She looked at her daughter. "Don't follow her pace and tried to go against Nan Hua all the time. I don't want you to put yourself in danger."

Nan Xin lowered her face. "Yes, Mom."

Concubine Mei looked at her daughter worriedly but chose not to say anything more. She knew that Nan Xin would have to face many things by herself, so all she could do was to carefully warn her from time to time in order to make sure that her daughter would not fall for any schemes.

Nan Hua looked at the group of concubines who were trying to mock Madam Qu. She stood up. "I'm leaving now."

After giving her courtesy, Nan Hua turned around and left too. She only came there to have a meal and not to watch these group of ladies went against each other. The location of the dining hall was quite far from her quarter, so Xiao Yun went forward and draped a coat around Nan Hua.

"Miss, it's still pretty cold in the early spring."

"I know."

Nan Hua tightened the coat and lowered her eyes. Even though she knew that she didn't need it, acting is important.

Walking the stone path, Nan Hua listened to the faint sound of the wind around her. The atmosphere in Nan Family Residence was fairly different from other location. It was filled with threat and suffocating tension.

Those who stayed here might not even find this place to be appropriate for living.

"Nan Hua," a voice called from behind.

"Why should I let myself be bullied?" Nan Hua asked slowly. "I'm the legitimate first daughter of Nan Family." _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
