Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower
Chapter 226 - Banquet For Princess Yue (3)

The backyard was completely decorated with festive decoration.

Many noble ladies have already arrived. The adults were talking while sitting down on the tables. The children were playing on the back, introducing themselves to one another in order to make new friend.

Nan Hua looked at the crowd of children, thinking whether she should join there or not.

"First Young Miss Nan. It's a pleasure to see you again." A young girl noticed Nan Hua and curtsied politely.

Seeing the girl in front of her, it took Nan Hua some time to remember the person in front of her. The girl was a few years older than her, which made her look a bit taller. In addition, it was clear that she had gone through a lot before coming here today.

"Fifth Miss Su," Nan Hua greeted.

Su Family was big and the person in front of her was precisely their fifth miss, Su Ai Lin. In the past, Nan Hua had met with Su Ai Lin in the celebration party for Old Madam Long. Even though she was not close to the other party, she still knew a thing or two about this little girl.

Su Ai Lin smiled. "Would you like to join us, First Miss Nan?"

Seeing that she was pointing to the small table, Nan Hua nodded. Because there were some children who were still very young, the servants had specifically prepared a smaller table for them. That way, they could have a chat amongst their own without the need to worry about the adults.

There were several girls on the table. When Nan Hua joined in, they all introduced themselves one by one. All of them were the noble ladies in this kingdom and naturally had known proper etiquette as well.

Not a single one of them revealed any flaw.

Naturally, Nan Hua also followed suit. With the teaching that her aunt had drilled in her, Nan Hua was at ease when she was talking with these girls.

"Sister, you're here?" a small girl rushed over to Su Ai Lin's direction. She raised her head and her eyes landed on Nan Hua before anger and hatred flashed within her eyes. She couldn't forget how she ended up getting punished because of Nan Hua in the past.

"Eight Miss Su."

"Eight Miss Su, would you like to join in?"

Eight Miss Su, Su Ai Yuan, shook her head. She was looking at Nan Hua with daggers as if she was thinking whether to create trouble here or not.

"Ai Yuan, does Mother look for me?" Su Ai Lin quickly changed the topic.

"Yes."

"In that case, let's go." Su Ai Lin naturally could see what Su Ai Yuan was thinking. But after the harsh lesson of the previous time, she didn't dare to let her guard down and followed other people's order anymore. Even if the one who asked her to do it was someone of high ranking, she learned to be more careful.

Even now, she was still afraid when she recalled the previous incident.

Su Ai Yuan pursed her lips but she nodded and followed her older sister. Even though she still wanted to make things difficult for Nan Hua, she knew that it was impossible for her to do it here.

She had to wait for another chance.

How annoying.

"Does First Miss Nan close with Su Family?" the girl who sat beside Nan Hua asked softly.

Nan Hua arched her eyebrows and turned her head around. The girl beside her was wearing light green brocade dress that looked extremely good. She had voluptuous body despite being only 14 years old. With a face that was not lose against Shangguan Die, she looked like seductress.

If Shangguan Die was known to be fierce beauty with remarkable features, the girl beside her was the living image of vixens. She didn't need to be flirtatious as her every move itself was a seduction. Coupled with her well-developed body, it would be extremely difficult for men to not be attracted to this girl.

"Fourth Miss Hai is joking. Hua'er rarely comes out and this is only the second time this one meet with Fifth Miss Su." Nan Hua lowered her head.

In front of her was Hai Fa Nie, a temptress in the current era.

Both Su Family and Hai Family had produced a lot of girls in this generation. Unlike Feng Family where most of their family members were boys, most of the young generations of Su Family and Hai Family were girls.

Though, Hai Family had more boys in the previous generations.

"I see." Hai Fa Nie smiled. Despite only smiling lightly, her face alone could easily attract attention. "Pardon me for speaking out of propriety."

"It's fine, Fourth Miss Hai." Nan Hua was still as polite as ever.

Hai Fa Nie then no longer paid any attention to Nan Hua and talked with the other ladies on the table. They were talking about the recent rumors along with the fact that there were some new stores opening.

Even though Nan Hua was only listening, she knew that the new clothes store was built by Lin Yuan. He was targeting the ladies this time with hope that he would be able to expand his business.

It would definitely succeed.

In a sense.

But it would take time because what Lin Yuan needed was a chance to introduce his product to the upper class society. If it was up to their expectation, he could expect his business boomed.

"First Miss Shangguan." A lady noticed someone coming and quickly greeted.

Hai Fa Nie raised her head and smiled faintly when she saw the person in front of her. "It's been some time, First Miss Shangguan."

"Likewise, Fourth Miss Hai." Shangguan Die's expression was rigid.

There were two people whom Shangguan Die hated the most in the world. First was Princess Yue who always contrasted at every turn. Second was Hai Fa Nie, who was acknowledged as one of the prettiest woman in the Capital City.

These two were exceptional eyesore that Shangguan Die didn't wish to look in the slightest bit.
