Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 818

Chapter 818: Concubine Mei and Nan Xin

*Warning: this chapter and the next 2 chapters is not suitable for children below the age of 13. Also, Nan Xin's actions will make many of you uncomfortable, so you can skip the chapter if you don't really want to know. It's another action that challenges one's bottom line and morality (>.<). Please don't think of it as something normal people will do; this story is completely fiction. Readers' discretion is necessary.*

The prison only contained the males and was already full with so many people waiting in line for the execution, exile, demotion, and many others.

After all, they couldn't put too many in one place, or they would start conspiring.

It took some consideration before Concubine Mei and Nan Xin were placed in the same place. Unlike Nan Hou Xiang, they didn't actually have that much worth, and most of the time, they would just end up dead or exiled.

Women were not worth much and the same was true for concubines, especially those without powerful natal families. No one would actually care for them. Whether they lived or died was not the business of these people.

They only need to make sure that they would wait for the so called decision from the higher ups about what would happen to them.

They were not in prison.

Rather, they were put under a house arrest inside their quarter in Nan Shu Cheng's Residence.

With so many soldiers all around the place, it was close to impossible for them to escape and there were still so many things that were confiscated from Nan Shu Cheng's Residence.

No one was allowed to stay here except for the guards.

Some of the unfortunate maidservants were also locked up and would be faced with some punishment.

Some others were sent back to the household department for job reassignment.

A few of them were also sold to other people who were willing to buy them or their family members who were willing to redeem them back. After all, many servants were actually sold by their own family members in order to fill their stomachs.

They were poor.

And it was an extremely low chance for them to be redeemed back by their family members.

But some people who were willing to work hard and had prepared enough money were willing to do just that.

Thunk!

Concubine Mei tried to open the door, but it was firmly blocked from the outside. She let out an exasperated sigh and then looked at her daughter, who was sitting at the side.

"Nan Xin, help me open the door."

"What's the use? There are a lot of guards outside." Nan Xin kept on sitting. She was looking at the ground while thinking.

Many things had happened recently, making Nan Xin feel that her brain was somewhat overworking. Even though she was part of the Nan Family, Nan Xin didn't exactly inherit his father's brain.

Instead, she could be considered to be rather ordinary and stupid.

Nan Xin herself knew that she was not the smartest person around, but she still hoped that there was a way out of this mess. There was no way that she wanted to stay in this place for the rest of her life.

Would her life be well after they had decided what to do with her?

The daughters of traitors could either be exiled or even sold out as a slave or servants. As a pampered young miss, how could Nan Xin be able to endure that kind of life?

She would rather try to run away.

At the very least, there would be a way for her to keep her life without having to experience such bitterness.

Hearing her daughter's words, Concubine Mei knew that it would be difficult for her to escape either. How could they possibly allow her to be unguarded with so many guards around?

They would surely guard the place tightly.

And the two of them didn't even know martial arts or anything like that. Trying to fight these Imperial Guards would only earn them their death.

Should she just wait for the higher-ups to decide about them?

*sigh*

"If only I knew things would end this way, I'd have to fight harder when my parents want me to marry Nan Shu Cheng." Concubine Mei felt really helpless. She was not here because of her willingness but because her parents asked her to marry Nan Shu Cheng.

At first, she tried to argue.

In the end, it was useless, and all she could do was follow the arrangement that was already made by her parents and enter Nan Shu Cheng's Residence. Right now, she only thought that it would be good if she could get out alive.

She wanted to live with her daughter and, if possible, get out of this place. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
