Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

After the twins walked out, Nan Shu Cheng took a deep breath. "Father, can't you not interfere with my household matter?"

Old Master Nan scoffed. "If you can prove to me that you won't be swayed by that concubine's words, I will give you another chance. But seeing how you're still pampering her even after knowing what she does, do you think that you're worthy of my trust to you?"

Nan Shu Cheng couldn't say anything else. He wanted to convince his father more but that sentence had struck the sore point. In the end, Nan Shu Cheng was not even welcomed as the guest for a long time before he was kicked out.

He couldn't do anything but to return. No matter what he said, it was clear that his father would not want to let him bring the twins back.

…

Nan Luo looked at his grandfather who came to Ning Shu Pavilion as he grinned. "Grandpa, did that man left?"

"He left." Old Master Nan raised his hand and flicked Nan Luo's forehead. "What are you thinking accepting his offer to see him?"

"Ouch! I'm not the one who accept it!" Nan Luo protested.

Nan Hua raised her hand. "Grandfather, it's me."

"Oh."

Old Master Nan sighed and walked closer to Nan Hua before he caressed the girl's head tenderly. His expression softened considerably. "If you want to meet that man, you should tell us first. There's no need to do so."

"Mhm." Nan Hua nodded.

Nan Luo clicked his tongue. The differences between his grandfather treatment to him and his twin sister was so vastly different, ah!

"Luo. Learn to be more tactful in front of him. You're not allowed to treat him that harshly when you're in front of other people." Old Master Nan glanced at his grandson. He knew very well that Nan Luo would surely treat his father harshly like that again in the future.

"But he deserves it! What does he think our mother is?" Nan Luo's eyes were filled with anger when talking about Nan Shu Cheng and his mother.

Nan Hua didn't say anything but she knew very well that she didn't want to treat another person as her family members. She only accepted Old Master Nan and Nan Luo recently because they treated her well and genuinely cared for her.

As for those concubines in Nan Shu Cheng's residence… would they even care for children who were not theirs?

She might be lacking in social interaction, but she was not stupid. Blood was thicker than water and there were many case where a step mother didn't treat her stepdaughter well. Many even aimed to make sure that the children couldn't grow well.

Thus, she didn't want to take the risk.

She's still very weak right now. Rather than putting her own life at risk, she better prepared herself well.

Old Master Nan sighed. "I know."

What his son did to his daughter in law and granddaughter was something that even he detested. However, what was done was done. And it was an incident inside the residence that was kept under wrap.

Technically, it was not a crime. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

Thus, he couldn't do anything and simply brought the three of them out of that residence. Unfortunately, his daughter in law didn't last long and died just a few days after getting out of that hell.

"Then…"

"But you need to keep up on appearance, understand? Not everyone will do according to your will and thus, you need to have self restraint." Old Master Nan patted Nan Luo's head more tenderly.

Nan Luo was still dissatisfied but he could only nod his head. Since his grandfather had instructed him so, he would have to do it.

"Hua'er, you too."

"Yes, Grandfather."

Looking at how different the two of them, Old Master Nan felt a bit amused.. This was the first time he met twins who were so different from each other.
