FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 13 - Old Madam Long



- Long Family Residence -

Prang!

The porcelain fell into the ground as an old woman looked at the message on the bamboo strip in her hand. Her aged expression looked even colder as she glanced around the room towards the servants who had been serving her for years.

To think that her own granddaughter wished for her own death and changed the medicine with poison.

What a good granddaughter!

"Where's Xu Nian?"

"Replying to Old Madam, Miss is having dinner with Young Master."

"Oh? Search her bedroom! I want to know what kind of other poisons she still kept with her!"

"Yes!"

In the dining room, Long Xu Nian had a cold expression when she was looking at her younger brother. It was a public knowledge that a son was more valuable than a daughter, making her hate her brother even more.

On the other hand, Long Qian Xing had long gotten used to his sister's cold attitude to him. He still had a warm smile on his face as he ate elegantly. It didn't seem he was perturbed that there was someone who was glaring at him right in front of his eyes.

By the time they finished, the room temperature was so cold that ice might have formed if only there was water there.

Long Xu Nian washed her hands in the basin. She looked at her younger brother. "What brings you to the main quarter this time?"

Usually, Long Qian Xing would not bother to eat in the main quarter and instead returned directly to his own. Thanks to that, Long Xu Nian could eat in peace without having to look at her annoying younger brother.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He smiled faintly. "I return earlier today, so can't I eat with my Jie Jie?"

Hearing his words that sound as if he had good relationship with his older sister, Long Xu Nian shot a glare. She stood up and swung her sleeve, clearly not wanting to look at him any longer. Only a fool would believe his words no matter how good his act was.

"I'll return first. You can stay here for as long as you want."

Long Qian Xing smiled as he watched the back of his older sister. A swoosh sound could be heard from above and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Has Grandmother found it?"

"Yes, Young Master."

"Good."

Slowly, Long Qian Xing stood up. When he returned, he noticed that there was a message to his grandmother pertaining his older sister. In order to make sure that she didn't know anything and let his grandmother found the necessary evidence, he stayed behind to eat with her.

Being a highly suspicious person, Long Xu Nian would surely notice that there was something wrong with him but she wouldn't be able to find out. He was merely buying time for his grandmother.

It's time for his older sister to know her place.

Prang!

Upon returning, Long Xu Nian could see her grandmother was standing in front of her quarter. Her heart thumped when she heard the sound of glass shattered along with screams from inside.

"Grandmother."

"Kneel!" Old Madam Long looked at her granddaughter as if she wished to bury this good granddaughter to her grave. To think that her own granddaughter had been poisoning her all this time and even do it to outsider!

What a good granddaughter!

Long Xu Nian was stunned. "Grandmother, what did I do wrong, I…"

"What did you do wrong? Do you think I'm blind?!" Old Madam Long roared back. She might be getting older but it didn't mean that she was getting stupider. Looking at the porcelains of medicine Long Xu Nian had kept in her room, the traces of the servants' nail that had changed due to long contact with poison, and the fact that the medicine smell was masked with incense, she would be the most idiot woman if she still hadn't found out what had happened here.

This good granddaughter of hers was experimenting with poison on her own.

Did she want to be accused of treason? If she wanted to learn medicine, she should have asked for permission! Learning like this and procuring large amount of poison in her own room was the same as seeking death!

Long Xu Nian knew that there was no way out of this. She could only grit her teeth and plead for mercy. Her heart was in a mess for she didn't understand how could the secret was out of the bag so quickly.

She would have never known that the one who made this happen was a young girl barely 9 years old.

- Nan Family Residence -

The next day, Nan Luo happily told Nan Hua everything that happened to Long Family. It was such a good piece of news that he even scooped another bowl of rice when they were having breakfast.

Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. "Luo, how did you hear the news so quickly?"

Hearing the question, Nan Luo's hand stopped moving.
