Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua raised her head, looking at the back. An old man was walking towards them with a servant following behind him carefully. His hair had turned white but he had a robust body and still seemed to be highly spirited. Upon a careful look, one would notice that his walk was slightly limp.

The young boy, Nan Luo, stiffened. He turned his head around while still holding his sister tightly. "Grandpa…."

"You brat! Didn't I tell you that you're not allowed to come out if you don't finish your work? Want me to spank you?"

"Ah! Help me!" Nan Luo quickly ran to the side when he saw his grandfather raised the walking stick, threatening to spank him for real. The servants were helpless when they watched the young boy ran around like that.

Young Master, please behave.

Nan Hua's eyes flickered as she looked at the old man in front of her. She could sense that he was not truly angry. Just as she expected, Old Master Nan lowered his walking stick and walked to Nan Hua.

Their difference in built made it look like he was a giant in front of her. He lowered his hand and patted her head tenderly. "Hua'er, you're back."

"Grandpa," Nan Hua called out.

Old Master Nan nodded. He narrowed his eyes when he saw Nan Hua being so silent. "Did that miss from Long Family bully you again?"

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. Slowly, she shook her head.

"Hua'er! If she bullies you, just tell us! I'll beat her up!" Nan Luo, who was originally running away, rushed over to Nan Hua's side. He didn't care about the punishment as those who dared to bully his sister had to pay the price.

Hmph!

Bletak!

Old Master Nan hit Nan Luo's head. He shook his head as he watched his grandson held his hand and crouched on the ground. "You want to beat her up and what do you think your reputation will be? A bully?"

"But she bullies Hua'er first!" Nan Luo protested.

"If you really want to help your sister, get the evidence first." Old Master Nan was helpless towards these two. "Without any evidence, you can't do anything to that little girl."

While he also wanted to just call his army and coerce that Long girl, it would be impossible. Long Family was also a family of general and the current head was a great general. In comparison… his son was only an official at fourth rank.*

It was quite high but it was not comparable to many other officials. And being an official, Old Master Nan had little hope for his son to continue his line of being generals. It was really unfortunate that his son was really weak but he only had one son.

There was also no hope for his son to achieve promotion in this life.

Old Master Nan also couldn't ask for more from that son of his. Not only that son of his was only an official, he was also someone who had a mess of residence and nearly lost his chance of promotion in the past because of that.

Even now, it had become a stain in his career.

Old Master Nan could only sigh whenever he thought about his own son. Unfortunately, he only had one son. No matter how disappointing his son was, he couldn't possibly disown the other party.

Thankfully, he managed to get these two cute little buns from his useless son. He was very satisfied with his two grandchildren.

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and thought about it for a moment. She still needed to figure out how things worked in this world but asking justice based on the available evidence should be the same, right?

She looked at Old Master Nan as thoughts slowly formed inside her mind. Before long, she had come to her decision.

Slowly, she tugged her grandfather's sleeve.

"Grandpa."
