Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 238 Dormancy (1)

The light of dawn overshadowed everything that happened in Meifu last night.

When Pei Yuzhang came out of his own courtyard, he happened to meet Meier who led the doctor to check Ning Yuyao's pulse.When Meier saw Pei Yuyan, she immediately looked away in disdain, and was going to pretend she didn't see her walking past her.

The moment the two of them crossed paths, Meier suddenly stopped, looked suspiciously at Pei Yuyan and said, "I seem to have smelled your scent somewhere before."

She was slightly stunned, and raised her sleeves hesitantly to smell it. There was indeed a very faint fragrance on the clothes. She smiled and said, "The clothes were sent by Aunt Mei. Maybe they have been scented."

Mei'er frowned when she heard the words, what made her feel familiar was another smell contained in the fragrance of flowers, but she couldn't remember where she had smelled it before.

Because she was in a hurry to check Ning Yuyao's injuries, she didn't want to deal with Pei Yuyao any more, so she sent a servant girl behind her to take Pei Yuyao to the garden as she wished.

After Meier walked away, Pei Yuzhang sniffed the smell on the clothes again, only then did Meier's expression seem a little strange.

She thought for a while, and asked softly to the servant girl beside her, "What kind of incense do you like to use in the mansion?"

The servant girl replied respectfully, "Miss doesn't know something. Madam doesn't use incense, but she adds uniform spices to the water when washing clothes, so all the clothes in the mansion have the same smell."

Hearing this, Pei Yuyan approached the servant girl and asked, "Do you think I smell special?"

The servant girl sniffed lightly, then shook her head and said, "Girl, there is nothing special about the smell, maybe it's because Miss is born with a keen sense of smell, so I feel that the girl's breath is different."

"So that's how it is." Pei Yuyan was thoughtful, seeing Meier's expression just now, he must have known that someone had entered Ning Yuyao's room last night, so he was so suspicious.

It seems that in order to save Ning Yuyao, she must be more careful. Not only that, but she also needs to try her best to avoid occasions where she can meet Meier face-to-face.

Thinking like this, Pei Yuzhang had unknowingly walked out of Meifu Garden.

The cool breeze in the morning carried a light and elegant fragrance of lotus, which was very refreshing and pleasant. Pei Yuzhe was about to walk in the direction of the fragrance of the lotus, but the servant girl stepped forward to block her way.

"Girl, please stay."

"What's the matter?" Pei Yuzhang asked doubtfully as he stood there, looking through the rockery at the blue lotus pond not far away to meet the sky.

The servant girl explained, "Until noon, the young lady does not allow anyone to approach the lotus pond. If the young lady wants to enjoy the lotus, she can wait until dusk."

"Why can't we go at this time?"

"Because every morning, Miss will accompany Mr. Zhuo to Hechi. Mr. Zhuo doesn't like to be disturbed by others, so Miss has made this rule, even Mrs. Zhuo is no exception."

The maid said while leading Pei Yuzhang to the gazebo in the garden.

Pei Yuzhang frowned slightly, sat down in the gazebo, took the tea poured by the maid, took a sip and said with a smile, "It seems that Miss Mei'er is very precious to Mr. Zhuo."

"No, because of Mr. Zhuo, the lady and the wife have had many fights!"

The servant girl usually followed Meier's side, and she had to be cautious in her words and deeds. Seeing that Pei Yuzhang was willing to talk to her now, she immediately became interested, wishing to pour out all she had seen and heard on weekdays.

"Hearing what you said, I'm a little curious about who this Mr. Zhuo is, and who can capture Miss's heart." Pei Yuzhe drank the tea and played with the teacup in his hand.
