FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 746: Leaving Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence



Chapter 746: Leaving Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence

The night passed quietly.

Nan Hua didn’t do anything but listened to the servants saying that Nan Shu Cheng purged almost all of the servants and only put one servant beside Madam Qu. It was the same as saying that he didn’t trust her anymore.

This had caused Madam Qu to be so enraged but she couldn’t do anything. Things that she had done to Madam Nan back then was coming back to her. Just like that person back then, Madam Qu had lost Nan Shu Cheng’s love and even treated worse than servants in this place.

When it was morning, Nan Hua’s servants packed up all of Nan Hua’s belongings. They knew that Old Master Nan would come today to pick Nan Hua up, so they had to be prepared.

Though, most of the things that Nan Hua didn’t actually use were still packed up nicely.

“Miss, everything is ready.” Xiao Yun curtsied.

Nan Hua nodded, watching the scenery in her yard while sitting calmly. She looked like a little boss who was waiting for her people to finish her order, whatever it might be.

It didn’t take long for a servant to come, telling her that Old Master Nan is here and wanted her presence.

“Let’s go.”

As Nan Hua made her way to the main hall, Nan Shu Cheng was looking at his own father expressionlessly. He still had his break from the court, but he would never expect that this precious break was actually used by Old Master Nan to disturb him at this very moment.

It was very annoying.

“Father, couldn’t you tell me first when you want to pay a visit?” Nan Shu Cheng asked in a cold voice.

Old Master Nan snorted. He had only arrived in the Capital City a moment ago, but the first place he picked to pay a visit was naturally Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence. There was no way he would possibly allow Nan Hua to stay in this residence any longer after hearing so many pieces of ‘good’ news coming from this residence.

“I have sent you a message informing my arrival.”

Nan Shu Cheng scoffed. That message literally arrived just a quarter of an incense stick of time before Old Master Nan arrived here. He couldn’t prepare the servants to welcome Old Master Nan anymore with such tight time.

The etiquette only stated that they had to inform the owner of the residence when they wanted to pay a visit as a guest. It didn’t have any specification about the time between their arrival and their letter’s arrival.

After all, it could be different from people to people.

And the shameless Old Master Nan naturally made use of it to make sure that Nan Shu Cheng wouldn’t have the time to write a letter of rejection. He would rather just barge inside if only he didn’t want to put on a show of face.

“Why do you come here, Father?” Nan Shu Cheng asked in a low voice, trying his best to hide his displeasure.

“I naturally come to take my granddaughter away. I have entrusted her to you for the past few months but what did I get? Your good residences kept on having troubles and even implicated her!” Old Master Nan was angry.

He wanted to pamper Nan Hua so much yet Nan Shu Cheng was doing exactly the opposite. This unfilial son of his allowed his granddaughter to suffer in this residence without caring for her wellbeing at all.

It was so infuriating.

“I can’t only pay attention to my daughter without caring for the others.” Nan Shu Cheng’s eyes were cold. He was already annoyed enough because of the finance problem that stemmed from his current wife. Now, his father came here, knocking his door.

It just added more problem for him.

“Since you can’t do it, I’ll be the one to do it.” Old Master Nan waved his hand towards the servant who followed him. “Call Hua’er here.”

“Yes, Old Master.”

“You can’t just take her away…” Nan Shu Cheng wanted to stop the manservant but a soldier blocked his path. Given his attainment in martial arts, Nan Shu Cheng didn’t need to be a genius to know that he was not a match for this soldier.

He turned to look at his father with anger. “You’re going to take my daughter again?”

“Taking her away? It’s more like I’m bringing her back.” Old Master Nan scoffed.

Even though these two sentences were similar, they contained different meaning. Taking her away meant that her place was here, Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence. But bringing her back meant that her place was in Old Master Nan’s Residence and not Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence.

It was also because of this that Nan Shu Cheng realized that his father never treated this place as his daughter’s home.

Nan Shu Cheng frowned. “When will you stop bothering us?”

“Bothering you?” Old Master Nan snorted. “Do you not remember how she looks at you when she left this place many years ago?”

Hearing that sentence, Nan Shu Cheng’s fist clenched tightly.

Yes, how could he not remember?

When his former wife walked out of the residence, she carried her daughter with her. The gaze that she used to look at him was that of a stranger.

Very similar.

And it was the same gaze that he never wanted to remember ever again.

Nan Shu Cheng could never forget that look in her face. It was also the very last day he met her since the next time he saw her, she was already on a coffin, ready to be buried.

And the very person who drove her to her death was no one other than him.

“I do.”

“What kind of gaze do you think the gaze Nan Hua will give to you when she left this residence?” Old Master Nan asked in unhurried tone. He never expected his son to change nor for Nan Hua to look at him with longing or affection.

That girl… was not that soft.
