Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 73

Nan Hua could never understand how the servants could spend hours just to doll someone up. Thankfully, she was mostly training in the residence so the servants didn't use any make up and tied her hair in rather simple design. The clothes that she picked was also one that would allow her to move easily.

The temperature had grown much colder and the servants were all wearing thicker clothes. They still had to work, so they have no other choice but to brave themselves through the bitter temperature and continued to work.

Ning Shu Pavilion was still as calm as ever. There was only Tong who walked in and out to do what Old Master Nan tasked him to do. When the steward saw Nan Hua, he quickly bowed.

"Young Miss."

Nan Hua nodded. "Is Grandfather inside?"

"Old Master is inside. Would you like me to escort you inside?"

"No need." _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

Tong left after being rejected by Nan Hua since he still has a lot of things to do. Entering the pavilion, Nan Hua headed straight to the detached area where she, Nan Luo, and her grandfather usually ate.

This time, Nan Luo was not there yet and only her grandfather was sitting there. He smiled brightly when he saw Nan Hua coming.

"Hua'er, come here."

Nan Hua blinked at Old Master Nan's gesture. He wanted her to sit on his lap? Slowly but surely, she walked closer and Old Master Nan picked her up to his lap. His aged hand held her firmly but gently.

"Grandfather," Nan Hua greeted.

Old Master Nan nodded and smiled lightly. "Hua'er, if you want to do something so dangerous, you should inform me first. I'm worried that you'll hurt."

"I'm fine."

Fine…

For some reason, Old Master Nan thought about what his wife said to him in the past. When a woman said that they were fine, more often than not, they were not fine. It was just there were some matters that couldn't be said openly to other people and thus, they could only brush it off.

Old Master Nan felt his heart ached as he rubbed Nan Hua's head tenderly. "You don't have to worry about the aftermath. It's just a prank from the second prince and it wouldn't happen again in the future."

A prank that involved numerous people's death?

Nan Hua was speechless.

"However, the Capital City would be unsafe. After New Year Celebration, I'll send you and Ah Luo to Yi Shang Temple that's located not far from the Capital City. There will be other young masters and misses from other families who'll stay there." Old Master Nan fondled Nan Hua's small hand tenderly.
