Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Prang!

First Master Jun woke up early in the morning only to be greeted by the news that the Jun Family hated their second son so much that they sent someone in the middle of the night to kill him. If it was not because of Governor Nian sending people to guard, then the second son of Jun Family would have died.

People were used to side with the weak and at this moment, they felt that the Jun Family was bullying Jun Shi Lian.

People who were also soldiers and injured felt resentment towards the Jun Family.

Jun Shi Lian become a soldier and served Fei Yang Kingdom but his family instead treated him like this. They wanted to kill him just because he didn't come to the Jun Family after he returned.

It was really miserable.

"Damn it! How come you can't do anything right?" First Master Jun yelled at First Madam Jun when he heard this mess. He didn't send anyone last night, so it should be First Madam Jun who did it.

"He should have died!" First Madam Jun roared back in resentment.

When she sent these people she made sure that these people were all powerful enough. Anyway, they were usually doing a good job as long as they were paid enough for their work.

But this time, these people failed so miserably.

Damn that Governor Nian!

Why did he have to meddle in this matter?

For the Jun Family, the one who made their plan fell through should be Governor Nian. After all, they had heard Governor Nian sending people to be a guard last night, which saved Jun Shi Lian's life.

As for Jun Shi Lian doing it himself?

None of them believed that.

They didn't think that Jun Shi Lian would be capable enough to do it. With him acting as an injured person and their own impression of Jun Shi Lian being the weak child from before, no one thought in that direction.

"You can't do anything right! Tell them that we didn't do it!" First Master Jun snorted and quickly ordered his servants to spread words that he didn't do it.

"Yes!"

First Madam Jun snorted and then looked at First Master Jun fiercely. "I hope that this matter won't affect Shi Mo's chance to become an official."

It was only now First Master Jun remembered his second son was about to participate in the examination. For scholars, their reputation was very important and whoever dared to slander them was definitely making trouble with them.

First Master Jun's face scrunched.

If the Jun Family's reputation fell down, then it would be impossible for Jun Shi Mo to become an official no matter how much money he paid to Governor Nian.

It was really troublesome.

"Don't do anything during this time period! When the examination is over, we can talk about it." First Master Jun could only do this.

If he were to make more trouble to Jun Shi Lian, there might be a chance that their reputation would be pulled down too. In that case, it would not be cost effective to make trouble to Jun Shi Lian at this period of time.

"I know." First Madam Jun turn around and wanted to see her son first. She had to let Jun Shi Mo restrained his temper too.

…

Outside, Jun Shi Lian went to the teahouse nearby and naturally listened to the people there discussing about the Jun Family. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

"I didn't know the Jun Family can be so unrighteous."

"Yes."

"Sending people to kill their own child… is this what a noble family should do?"

Jun Shi Lian wanted to chuckle when he heard their discussion. Many people knew that the noble families might even act more outrageously than this. But most of their actions would not be made known to others.

After all, no one would want to publicize their bad deeds to others.

And for them to hold the power in their hands, they had to make sure that they were not doing anything wrong.

After all, the Jun Family was mostly working in business.

And if they wanted their business to thrive, they had to take care of their reputation.

'They'll be staying silent during this period of time.'

Jun Shi Lian didn't think that his father would be so stupid that he would trouble him immediately. The only person who could do such thing would be First Madam Jun.

Since they wanted to keep their reputation, then they wouldn't do anything.

But Jun Shi Lian had no intention to stay here for a long period of time.

It would be better for him to settle the Jun Family as fast as possible.

For this, he would have to push them to make a move.

'…In that case.'

Swish!

Late at night, Jun Shi Lian headed to the few stores under the Jun Family. These stores were all using the Jun Family name, so it was quite easy to identify them.

When Jun Shi Lian saw these stores, he felt that the Jun Family was really rich.

None of these stores had few customers.

'Over the years, how much have you taken advantage of the Nan Family's name?' Jun Shi Lian pursed his lips and sighed.

Since it has involved the Nan Family, Jun Shi Lian felt that Nan Luo deserved to know about this matter. After all, the Jun Family had crossed the lines in this matter.

But no matter whether they involved the Nan Family or not, Jun Shi Lian never had the intention to let them go.

He's the child of the Jun Family…

Yet they never treated him as one.

They wanted him to die and didn't even willing to let him go. When he wanted to live on his own, they come to trouble him.

Well, there was indeed some temptation and troubles that Jun Shi Lian gave them.

But even without that… wouldn't they still be unwilling to let him go and wanted to control his life?
