Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525 Schemes

"Is that true?" Nan Shu Cheng looked at the group of servants.

"Yes, yes, that's true!"

"We're blinded by our greed, Master!"

"Master, we apologize."

And there were a few more apologize that these servants uttered, trying their best to shift the blame to them.

Nan Shu Cheng's eyes grew increasingly colder. He waved his hand. "Dismiss them and send them back to the Household Department after giving them 50 beatings."

"Yes, Master."

The servants were all stunned. This was the first time Nan Shu Cheng meted out punishment as harsh as this. But before they could plead for him to give lighter punishment, the other servants had already come and dragged them out to begin their punishment. With their mouth blocked with handkerchief, it was impossible for them to shout or anything like that.

Madam Qu's heart turned cold. She looked at her husband nervously, "Shu Cheng, this is…"

"Since you're too tired to take care of the household, let Concubine Mei take care of it until the end of this month." Nan Shu Cheng walked out of the main hall.

"Nan Shu Cheng!"

No matter how many times Madam Qu tried to call him, her husband didn't even turn around. It seemed that he was already tired of Madam Qu's action and chose to not listen to any of her demands. He didn't really care about the household as long as nothing happened.

But it was clear that there was no such thing with his wife around.

Troubles just kept on piling up.

Concubine Mei put her hand in front of her mouth so that other people wouldn't be able to see the smile. "Sister Qu, please don't be so sad. We'll be doing our best to take care of the household while you recuperate."

"Sister Qu must be tired because of the long journey."

"Indeed." Concubine Mei looked at Madam Qu with a smile, but the crescent on her eyes betrayed her real feelings.

Madam Qu's eyes turned another shade colder. "In that case, I'll let you hold onto it for the time being, Sister Mei."

"Thank you, Sister Qu."

Nan Hua watched their sisterly interaction and silently wondered just how nauseate they were feeling inside actually was. It was clear that neither one of them was willing to call the other party as their sister, but they were doing just that because they had to act in front of other people.

A life full of act.

It was the same as hers, just in another form. Who would not be acting in front of other people?

Not wanting to stay there to watch these people battled themselves, Nan Hua excused herself. Heading back to her room, Nan Hua glanced at Xiao Yun. She noticed that Xiao Yun looked like she wanted to be angry, yet she suppressed herself.
