Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 808

Chapter 808: Nan Family Trial and Result (6)

Since when?

The look in his eyes was no longer that of a loving husband to his wife but rather to that of an annoying woman.

It wouldn't possibly happen overnight.

He could remember his first wife's domineering attitude and tried to correct his bad habit. As they had gotten closer to each other, they had slowly started to show their real personality and no longer being so careful with each other.

He didn't really like her change in attitude, but her capabilities helped him, so he buried his dissatisfaction and followed what she wanted to do slowly. She also helped to supervise him to make sure that he would not do anything wrong in his conduct as an official.

But it was not what he wanted.

He just wanted… to indulge in the beauty's arm.

But his first wife didn't seem to be able to fulfill that anymore and Nan Shu Cheng began to search for the others. The comfort and indulgence brought by these women in his residence began to fill him with his vanity more and more. When his first wife was pregnant, he couldn't touch her, so he went to the other women in his residence.

And Qu Fei Jiao was a very coquettish woman.

She knew very well what he wanted and gave it to him, allowing him to indulge in her and do whatever he wanted. He vented his stress on her, confide on her, and eventually fall in love once more.

Even though Qu Fei Jiao was not as beautiful as Madam Nan, she was also a rare beauty. And makeup could do wonder as they could transform a person's appearance with those powder and so on.

Slowly but surely, Nan Shu Cheng was attracted.

He could also remember that when he was working in the palace, the people around him told him how normal it was for them to indulge in their concubines. After all, these officials were no longer that young and their wives were usually five years younger than them.

They would also grow older and no longer looked that good.

So, many of these officials began to look for their concubines as they were more beautiful and pleasing to look at.

Human was truly a visual creature.

And Nan Shu Cheng felt that since he was already a powerful official, why should he limit what he wanted to do?

Nan Shu Cheng's wife was still very young and beautiful at that time, but her pregnancy made him unable to see her all the time and got close. After all, he also didn't want to lose his children.

And having a soft woman who seemed to know what he wanted, he began to favor Qu Fei Jiao more and more.

Qu Fei Jiao was also an ambitious person, so she did everything possible to retain him. She made him unable to be free from her and continued to be enraptured and willingly stay by her side.

So…

He abandoned his first wife.

As time passed, she became secondary, and then turned into an eyesore in his eyes after a few more years. He felt that her worries and words were redundant and when she threatened him, he just showed her just who's in charge.

Nan Shu Cheng didn't care how he treated Madam Nan back then as he felt that it was something that should have been natural. After all, she's his wife and her role was simply to serve him.

Madam Nan resisted.

But that just made Nan Shu Cheng grow fiercer.

He just wanted her to stay by his side and become the good wife he wanted and not the person who kept on pestering him. He didn't want to hear her words and didn't want to hear her explanation or whatsoever.

For him, a woman would never know so much.

He's a man and naturally knew better than her. His pride would never allow her to control him.

Thus, the two of them have dispute.

And during this time, it was Qu Fei Jiao who kept on accompanying and consoled him. She even gave him a son and made him happy for so many times. It was a stark contrast with Madam Nan who seemed to want to 'control' him.

But he couldn't just promote Qu Fei Jiao to become the main wife. She kept on pestering it from time to time and Nan Shu Cheng just couldn't say no so harshly to the woman he held dear.

He tried to talk about it to his first wife.

But she refused.

He was angry.
