Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Si Qiao could detect the cautiousness from Feng Ao Kuai's tone. Even though it was not obvious, she knew her son well. Feng Ao Kuai was someone who kept his thoughts in his mind most of the time, but it didn't mean that he had no emotions or thoughts.

From time to time, he would leak some of his emotion through his gesture or his words. If she was attentive enough, she would be able to notice it.

And this time, Nan Si Qiao knew that her son was worried about her opinion.

"I don't think I'll have that much choice." Nan Si Qiao smiled. She raised her hand and caressed Feng Ao Kuai. "You don't have to worry so much about me."

"Mhm."

Seeing her second son, Nan Si Qiao smiled bitterly but chose not to say anything. She always felt that her two children were so different from one another because of their life experience. When she first has Feng Ao Si, she was in the happiest moment of her life and naturally would spend most of her time to care for her son.

But when she had her second son, it was when things started to turn downhill in the Feng Family.

Maybe that was the reason why Feng Ao Kuai grew up too quickly. There was nothing that Nan Si Qiao could do to change his personality, so she simply treated him better whenever it was possible.

"You should prepare your belongings too."

"Yes, Mother."

Feng Ao Kuai then walked out of the courtyard. He passed by Nan Luo and Nan Hua, nodding to them to say that he had already talked to his mother.

Nan Luo looked at Feng Ao Kuai and scratched his head. "Should I talk with him a bit? He didn't look right."

"There's no need."

"Really?"

"Yes." Nan Hua sipped the tea in front of her. She had heard that many people said that children didn't know anything and that they were merely living their lives innocently. However, it was not completely true.

There are children who knew more than what some people think.

Nan Hua was no longer a child, so she understood more. However, she was once a child too. And at that time, she had learned many things that other people her age would never even come into contact with it.

Things that were either too cruel or probably too heartless.

Yet for her, it was all normal.

There were many times when she wondered whether her worldview was crooked when she met with other people back then. But afterwards, she decided not to care too much about it.

There was no point in worrying.

She just had to live.

"I hope he'll be fine tomorrow." Nan Luo sighed.

"He'll recover."

Looking at her twin brother, Nan Hua knew that Nan Luo was also the same, knowing much more than what he was letting out. And probably… the original Nan Hua.

As soon as the thought came to her mind, Nan Hua pushed it out.

She still didn't have any of the memory before she was coming to this world. Everything was blank except for some scenes.

"That's good then."

The two of them didn't talk about the matter anymore.

The children departed to Wind City with Nan Si Qiao the next day. Old Master Nan also tagged along with them because he felt that it would be unsafe if he were to leave them alone. Nan Luo noticed that Feng Ao Kuai had resumed his usual coldness, so he no longer felt worried for his cousin.

Though, he did feel like crying when he saw that his cousin was taking out the Go board. He could remember painfully how he was beaten up so badly by his cousin.

"Will the residence be fine if we all leave?" Nan Luo asked curiously.

Old Master Nan nodded. "Your Fourth Uncle is there."

"Oh."

Fourth uncle here referred to Feng Qian Han, Feng Qian Shao's fourth brother. He tagged along to Han Zhong City two-three years ago and had been staying in their residence before his marriage last year.

Since then, he had been living with his wife in a nearby residence.

Honestly, Feng Qian Han was a very unremarkable man that the children forgot about him from time to time. They were also wondering why Old Master Nan kept him around, but they didn't probe any further. Since Old Master Nan arranged Feng Qian Han to stay there, they naturally would not voice any objection.

The Fourth Uncle was also a good person who helped them sneak out~.

*cough*

That was a bit unrelated.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at his grandfather while he was playing with a Go piece in his hand. "Grandfather, why are you staying in the same carriage as us?"

"I'm letting your aunt have a hearty talk with Hua'er! She has been missing her lessons." Old Master Nan snorted.

Because Nan Hua spent most of her time to train her stamina plus medical lessons afterwards before the sparring training, she didn't have time to learn about some women's matter from Nan Si Qiao.

Thanks to that, Old Master Nan chose to arrange Nan Si Qiao to stay with Nan Hua this time.

"How about Traveling Doctor Liu?" Nan Luo pointed at the carriage at the back.

Old Master Nan's face turned another shade darker. "Just let that man be!"

Seeing how grumpy Old Master Nan was, Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Luo also tactfully didn't mention about it anymore. Since the journey would take a long time, Feng Ao Kuai took out a Go board and looked at Nan Luo.

"Let's play."

"…Can I say no?"

"It'll take a long time before we reach Wind City. Accompany me for another game."

Nan Luo's face scrunched. How could it be possible for the game to end with only one game? He was absolutely sure that it would be a long time before he could regain his peace.

But under Feng Ao Kuai and Old Master Nan's stare, how could he refuse?

He could only tearfully start the game.
