Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"My older brother said that my father is being questioned not long ago and the records in the family is checked by some people." Mu Sheng Xi's tone was flat. But it was clear that he was feeling a bit indignant and tired.

While they knew that he was not part of these people, it was hard for him to say anything. They wouldn't believe what he said and would try to ask the servants and other people who had relationship with Mu Family.

Because of his father's relationship with the rest of the Mu Family was broken back then, it had already caused quite a lot of controversy.

Now that this happened, Mu Sheng Xi knew very well that it would be hard for him to avoid getting talked by the people. Even in their territory, there will be a lot of people who would not believe him. 

The Mu Family's position, which had been relatively low in the past few years, wouldn't be able to recover at all.

They have been trying to stay low at this time, hoping that everything would pass while trying to recover their family's condition. But with this investigation hit them, there was simply no escape.

He sighed deeply. 

"The Mu Family should be fine." Feng Ao Kuai faintly remembered that Nan Hua was friend with his so called fiancée whom he had only met once. Since Nan Hua was willing to be friends with Mu Fei Jiu, it meant that she recognized her.

He was not sure about the other members in Mu Family.

But General Mu was one of the few people whom he admired in his life. After all, General Mu used to fight at the frontline and had helped to stabilize Fei Yang Kingdom, especially during Emperor Yang Zhou's father's reign.

His grandfather had cursed a lot, saying many bad things that happened during those years.

The few generals who stood at the frontline had contributed greatly for their kingdom's current condition. Even if they were not perfect, Feng Ao Kuai was more inclined to think that General Mu didn't know anything about General Cao's involvement and betrayal.

"I hope it will be. I have four sisters and they're all already having difficult life because of Mu Family's reputation." Mu Sheng Xi sighed.

Feng Ao Kuai's lips twitched.

Now that he thought about it, Mu Family was a big family. Not to mention, General Mu had a few concubines and several of them have children.

Mu Sheng Xi himself was the son of General Mu's main wife. 

His brother was concubine born.

That was why his brother was not sent to the battlefield while Mu Sheng Xi was sent here. General Mu wished for his son to inherit his legacy on the battlefield.

If he was not wrong, there was also some influence from Mu Sheng Xi's mother's family. As the only heir, Mu Sheng Xi was expected a lot by his family because his mother would never let his half-brother to be the one to inherit from General Mu.

The situation in the harem might not be that good.

"Do you know the reason why General Cao chose to side with Zhang Xu Kingdom?" Feng Ao Kuai asked quietly.

Why?

Mu Sheng Xi shook his head. "General Cao was raised in my family ever since he was young and that was why my father also gave his daughter to him. However, they hadn't had much luck in trying to make a family because my sister couldn't give him a child at all."

No child?

Feng Ao Kuai's eyes flashed for a moment.

But this was only a conjecture and possibility. The real reason why General Cao was willing to side with Zhang Xu Kingdom was still unclear.

Besides, it was not his responsibility. 

But if General Cao truly had a child with a woman from Zhang Xu Kingdom, that child's life wouldn't be easy at all if this matter was publicized. Because it meant that there will be a lot of hatred given to them.

"I see."

"Don't talk about him. I'm just worried for my family members," Mu Sheng Xi shook his head.

"They should be fine. This incident will pass soon after they determined that General Mu is not involved." Feng Ao Kuai looked at the front. "Are you going to stay on the battlefield in this area?"

"No." Mu Sheng Xi shook his head. "I'm going to make a name for myself."

Being hit like this, Mu Sheng Xi knew that the best way for him to redeem himself was by making a name for himself. As long as he was strong enough, he would be able to stand by himself and didn't have to rely on his father's past reputation.

He had spent many years to fight on the frontline, yet he was still far away from being able to reach his father's height.

By this time, Mu Sheng Xi was tired.

Tired of what had happened and wished that he would be able to stand for himself and not let them smear his father's name more than what they had done. If only it was possible, he also wished to kill that General Cao himself.

But it was all only if.

Mu Sheng Xi closed his eyes for a moment, calming himself down. He then turned to look at Feng Ao Kuai. "Your performance is not bad. Even if you make a mistake in the end, they wouldn't punish you for a long time, so you still have a chance to come back."

Feng Ao Kuai laughed lightly. 

Come back?

He naturally could come back, but he didn't want to.

There were some things that he had to do when he was in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City. Several problems were left unsolved and Feng Ao Kuai also wanted to pave a backdoor for himself so that he would be able to survive in the future.

Anyway, his father was a complete straight man like his older brother.

He wanted to make a way out for Feng Family.
