Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529 Nan Shu Cheng’s Promotion

Concubine Mei looked tired while Madam Qu was staring at her fiercely. If looks could kill, Concubine Mei might have died many times over under such heavy scrutiny.

At that moment, Nan Shu Cheng came. With him appearing, the ladies no longer quarreled with each other and maintained a harmonious appearance. After all, Nan Shu Cheng had already enough of trouble around him.

If they put on a bad expression, Nan Shu Cheng would just punish them.

He was already in a bad mood long enough.

They proceeded with the usual pleasantries and exchange some words. After it was settled, everyone was waiting for Nan Shu Cheng to start their dinner.

"Before we started, I would like to say something." Nan Shu Cheng swept his gaze across the people in front of him. "There'll be a small banquet to celebrate my 35th birthday this time."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. She had completely forgotten that her father was 21 years older than her. What she remembered was that he would have his birthday in two days' time.

"And this time, I'll be inviting more people to come," Nan Shu Cheng paused for a moment. "I have been promoted once more, so I would like to use this chance to celebrate it with my friends. I hope all of you will behave on the day."

The ladies' eyes perked up.

They knew what it meant for Nan Shu Cheng to be promoted. Finally! They were already dead tired from maintaining that solemn mood and staying so careful. Now they could relax a bit because Nan Shu Cheng was no longer in heavy pressure and not in a bad mood all the time.

With the court upheaval, it seemed that Nan Shu Cheng managed to seize this chance to get promoted once more.

It was a happy news for them all.

Madam Qu was also smiling happily. Even though she was unhappy that the power was still in Concubine Mei's hand, she was still happy that Nan Shu Cheng persevered. If he was demoted, there was high chance that they would be moved outside the Capital City.

Now, the crisis was over.

Time for her to make her move.

Concubine Mei smiled yet she could sense the cold gaze that Madam Qu was giving her. Her heart thumped for she understood that it wouldn't be long before Madam Qu made her move. She had been very quiet all this time.

Was she waiting for Nan Shu Cheng's position to stabilize?

If that was true, Concubine Mei had to be more careful.

Nan Hua was calm. She was silently thinking inside her mind. When she first came to this world, Nan Shu Cheng was a fourth ranked official but then he got demoted because of some problems (mainly because of her and her mother). He had managed to regain his position as fourth rank official two to three years ago when Nan Hua was away from the Capital City because the news died down.
