Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 773

Chapter 773: Second Young Miss Lao

The atmosphere turned stiff.

Nan Hua, who was lazily staying beside Empress Xiao Qiang while listening, slowly turned her eyes in one direction. Her clear black obsidian eyes reflected the other party's figure clearly.

"Second Young Miss Lao has heard a lot of rumors." Nan Hua was calm.

The other party, Second Young Miss Lao, was looking at Nan Hua with a frown. He was actually hoping for Nan Hua to be angry and refute her or anything that could start a conflict. However, the other party merely stare at her calmly.

This made her feel like she was punching cotton.

"Indeed. This is a well-known rumor in the talk with some other noble ladies in the Capital City. Since First Young Miss Nan hadn't stayed in the Capital City for a long time. A lot of people are wondering how your condition would be." Second Young Miss Lao kept on looking at Nan Hua, waiting for the other party to lose her temper.

But Nan Hua didn't react as Second Young Miss Lao had expected. Instead, Nan Hua merely tilted her head and then nodded. "I see."

I see?

Second Young Miss Lao was baffled.

On the other hand, Xiao Qiang's eyes grew a shade colder. She had thought that these people wouldn't play any tricks in her presence. But it seemed that she would have to tell them that they were not allowed to do so in the future.

Hmm, she had to handle this first.

"Ben Gong have prepared tea for everyone. Ben Gong hope that everyone will be able to enjoy it." Empress Xiao Qiang smiled faintly.

The conversation was successfully shifted just like that.

Second Young Miss Lao's face turned darker, but she didn't dare to say anything and followed her mother to praise Empress Xiao Qiang.

Nan Hua watched and lightly raised the cup in front of her to take a sip. Those rumors actually came from around six years ago when she came out of her father's residence. Her head was bandaged because of a wound on her head.

That was what made people think that she had scars.

Well, it was not wrong. She did have some scars in her back, legs and arms. Aside from those she obtained from Nan Shu Cheng's Residence, the rest were from the training she had from time to time.

Well, these people would never know if she didn't pull her sleeve.

And was there really any need for them to know about it?

The banquet was held for Empress Xiao Qiang, so the entire focus of the banquet has always been her. And aside from asking Nan Hua to come at first, Empress Xiao Qiang didn't speak with Nan Hua again.

This made others confused about her views towards Nan Hua.

Was it really only because of her status?

"It has been some time since the banquet started. Ben Gong's body is stiff with sitting all the time. Let's take a short walk."

"Yes, Your Highness."

They all stood up.
