Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1552 Shangguan Yu’s Situation (2)

*Warning: the description below is a bit… cruel. It's recommended for the readers to be above 13 years old to continue. Readers' discretion is required. Proceed with your own caution.*

Reading the first half, Shangguan Mi showed a scornful look.

So what if they knew? It was already too late.

But thinking about the past five or so years spent in this damnable place, Shangguan Mi really wanted to knock Shangguan Yu and killed him countless times. Her body was already weak due to the excessive work she had to do.

And there was basically nothing that she could do right now but to follow the arrangement that was given to her.

This made Shangguan Mi felt really miserable.

The latter half told her the real identity of her father.

His name was Mang Kui Su. He worked for Zhang Xu Kingdom for more than a decade and had sent several letters to continue communicating with her mother when she was still alive.

He only stopped after the cleanup that happened in Fei Yang Kingdom.

And now… Mang Kui Su had died under the torture of soldiers in the army during Fei Yang Kingdom's invasion to Zhang Xu Kingdom. He was interrogated until his death and his corpse was not intact when they were done.

His limbs were chopped off and his organs were dug out.

Blood splattered everywhere in the torture chamber. From the very beginning, there was no intention to let him stay alive because a lot of soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom had died in his hand.

"Huh…?"

Shangguan Mi read the content and was stupefied.

When she read that he had killed a lot of soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom, she felt some kind of pride. At the very least, the person who allowed her to be born in this world, even if his contribution was small, had gained a lot of fame and achievement on the battlefield.

But when she read that he was tortured to death, Shangguan Mi felt her back was cold. It seemed as if she could feel that the knife was also about to land on her neck.

This made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Mi tossed the bamboo scroll to the fireplace. She couldn't possibly let this piece of news leaked out.

"Mang Kui Su."

This was an unfamiliar name for Shangguan Mi. She had never heard of anyone with this name.

But hearing this surname….

Does it mean that her name was supposed to be Mang Mi?

That didn't sound too good.

While Shangguan Mi didn't know this name, the other soldiers who were staying at the frontline all knew very well of this name. It was just that their impression of this person stayed on the scene where he wetted his pants.

*cough*

Even if this matter was not a secret, these soldiers didn't have the hobby of spreading such things.

It was just that one way or another, many people had known about this. The reputation that Strategist Mang built up for a long time was completely vanquished because of his action during the time he was caught.

It was really tragic.

…

<Shangguan Yu's Residence, Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City>

After leaving the place where Shangguan Mi was staying, Shangguan Yu returned to his own residence without any change in his face. He had long known that there were a lot of people who wanted to scheme against their Shangguan Family.

So much that there were simply a lot of people who wished for their downfall.

Even if he didn't know the main reason for their continuous targeting, he still acted as if everything was fine on the surface. Acting cruel behind the scene and acted gentlemanly on the surface, his entire body emitted coldness.

"Your Highness, you're back," The steward greeted Shangguan Yu politely.

Shangguan Yu nodded.

This steward was one of the few people who treated him with sincerity from the bottom of their heart. Even if it was only for the sake of their survival or because they pitied him, at the very least they still cared for him and willing to interact more with him.

For him, that was enough.

He couldn't ask more.

"Has she been staying quiet?" Shangguan Yu suddenly asked.

Even if Shangguan Yu didn't say any name, the steward naturally knew who Shangguan Yu meant. He scolded that damnable princess countless times in his heart and in the end still replied politely, "Her Highness is entertaining her guest."

Her guest.

There were very few people who paid a visit to Princess Hu after her marriage with Shangguan Yu. Those who did come were investigated thoroughly by him so that he could know her movement when she was under his nose.

Knowing what Princess Hu wanted was nothing but power, Shangguan Yu sneered.

This 'sickly' princess had been staying low for some time but now that the situation was chaotic and Emperor Yang Zhou was not in the Capital City, she had started to show her true color.

"Push me behind the building."

The steward looked at the master in front of him with worry but in the end, he could only sigh and nodded at the manservant behind Shangguan Yu. He knew what Princess Hu was doing and wanted to kill that woman.

But Shangguan Yu still had some use of Princess Hu, so he could only stay silent and say nothing.

The manservant gritted his teeth and bowed, pushing Shangguan Yu towards Princess Hu's quarter. There were very few maidservants there and when there was someone sent by the steward for them to do some work, they dispersed quickly.

These maidservants were all people loyal to Shangguan Yu.

They will not follow Princess Hu arbitrarily.

Tep.

The manservant stopped and Shangguan Yu looked at the tree in front of him.

From the thin wall beside them, they could hear the sickening love talk and some other indescribable noises made from inside.

It was not hard to imagine what Princess Hu was doing.
