The secluded courtyard of Flower Moon Building was usually quiet, but now it was surrounded by the girls in layers.
Ms. Lu, dressed lightly, stepped onto the stairs, leaving behind a trail of dust, yet her body remained clean, leaving only a faint musk scent where she passed.
She had prepared all sorts of ingredients that Zhu Pingniang loved according to her preferences, but upon returning, she couldn't find her. After asking around, she found out that Zhu Pingniang had gone to the park with Xu Chang'an.
Zhu Pingniang going on a park outing with a man?
This was a rare first.
"Where's Ms. Zhu?" Ms. Lu walked into the crowd.
As Zhu Pingniang's close attendant and steward at Flower Moon Building, second only to one, Ms. Lu held a position of authority, bringing instant silence upon her arrival.
"Over there, ma'am." A voice quietly pointed towards a distant chess pavilion, surrounded by curtains and completely silent, "Inside… Pingniang drew the curtains a while ago."
