Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower
Chapter 237 - Death

The two servants who were subdued were also stunned when they heard the question. They looked at each other before they suddenly burst in strength and rushed to the location where the broken porcelains were located.

"Stop them!"

Slash!

Using the broken porcelain, the two of them cut off their own neck, ending their life. There was no pillar whatsoever at the backyard, making it difficult for them to kill themselves by slamming their head. Thus, the second option was to use sharp object.

Luckily there was a sharp object here.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

This time, the screams were even louder. Some girls even fainted and nearly fell down. Their servants quickly stepped forward to help them.

Nan Hua's eyes flashed coldly before her body swayed naturally then fell to the back. Xiao Yun, who was nearby, rushed over and held Nan Hua tightly. She called out in panic as if Nan Hua had truly fallen unconscious.

"Miss! Miss!"

The noble lady who helped Nan Hua just now was not in any better condition. Her face was terribly pale and her breathing was rough. In the next second, she also fainted and the servant helped her up.

It was chaos.

With such situation, it was impossible for the banquet to continue. What was supposed to be a small show ended up in a catastrophe.

"Let them out," Empress Dowager Mei quickly gave an order. "Call their family members to help bring them back. The banquet had ended."

"We'll start to investigate everyone who used to know about this matter." Empress Dowager Yan was calmer than Empress Dowager Mei. She looked like she was only seeing normal performance and not someone who died in front of her as she looked at Princess Yue. "Yue'er, you should rest."

"Yes, Imperial Mother." Princess Yue curtsied and turned back with gloom face. She was glad that the party ended early, but this was not the result she wanted.

Who would want their party to end with bloodshed?

Empress Dowager Mei nodded. "There are only a few people who were close with Yue'er. I'll definitely do the investigation well."

"Jie Jie, if you need any help, please tell me."

"There's no need, Mei Mei. I can handle it."

Empress Dowager Yan smiled and nodded, lowering her eyes to the cup of tea in front of her once more. Honestly, she didn't want to be bothered with these matters, but even though she was just a woman without power now, there were a lot of people who wanted a piece of her.

How troublesome.

At this moment, Shangguan Mi was also acting like she was scared and sat down with heavy breathing. Her eyes were looking at the male servants who were coming from the main hall with confusion and apprehension.

Who said that sentence?

That sentence had turned her plan completely. She was still originally still wanting to make things more difficult for Shangguan Die by dropping more words from the two servants. But now, they had died.

She gritted her teeth in anger.

But she couldn't say anything.

Chaos ensued and the other noble people also started to take over the situation. It was clear that they were all trying to make sure that their wives or daughter were not scared.

Nan Hua didn't even see anything as she only listened. However, she could guess what had happened because of their panicked voice. Before long, she also heard the voice of her twin brother and cousins who scampered to replace her.

"Hua'er! Hua'er!"

"Hua'er, are you alright?"

Their voices sounded genuinely worried. However, the three children were naturally only acting. How could they not know that Nan Hua was fine?

Feng Ao Si was the closest to break the act as he nearly rolled his eyes. "Grandfather, can we return?"

"Grandfather, Hua'er fainted!" Nan Luo added in a worried tone.

Feng Ao Si also nodded his head. Internally, he was looking at the 'fainted' Nan Hua and wondered how this small matter could even scare her? She was someone who could even kill without batting her eyelids.

Old Master Nan also showed a worried face and nodded. "Yes, we have to bring her back! We're not staying here any longer."

"Yes!"

Thus, the 'fainted' Nan Hua was carried by her twin brother on his back as they ran to the gate. Carriage was not allowed in the inner compound, so they had no other choice but to run first.

Old Master Nan looked at the brats running away and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They were all only acting, but it looked so real.

"Father."

Old Master Nan turned his head to the side and saw Nan Shu Cheng. "Are you not going to look at your concubine and son's condition?"

Nan Shu Cheng's lips twitched when he heard what his father said. "Father, she's my wife."

"Is that so?"

Knowing that his father would never accept Qu Fei Jiao as his wife, Nan Shu Cheng could only let the matter past. He sighed.

"Father, when will you return my two children?"

"When you proved that you're worthy to be their family members." Old Master Nan looked at his son and asked in a low tone, "Otherwise, how would I know that you would not treat them the same way as you did back then?"

Nan Shu Cheng's eyes widened when he heard his father's words. His voice quivered. "Father, what do you mean?"

"You know very well what I meant." Old Master Nan turned around. He didn't even want to stay here even for a second longer. He knew very well that if he stayed here, he might lose control and punched his own son.

"Father…" Nan Shu Cheng couldn't do anything but watch as Old Master Nan walked away. His fingers were balled up to form a fist as his eyes gleamed. To think that the ungrateful daughter even dared to tattletale.

The day she returned to Nan Family Residence would be the day where he would teach her a lesson personally.
