Huo Youcai took the bottle back and sprayed it on Mrs. Huo as Yuandan had instructed.
Then……
The chubby boy got beaten up.
That little brat sprayed water all over Madam Huo's face. If he weren't her biological son, she would have beaten him to death on the spot.
Huo Youcai felt extremely wronged and ran away, clutching his head where his mother had slapped him.
Mrs. Huo wiped the water off her face with a silk handkerchief, muttering with slight dissatisfaction, "This child..."
Night falls.
While Madam Huo and several concubines were having dinner with Lord Huo, Lord Huo suddenly asked, "What does it taste like?"
The group looked at each other blankly.
"This smells quite nice. Did one of you bring a sachet?"
"Lord Huo, is this what you mean?" Madam Li took off the styrofoam she wore at her waist and handed it to Lord Huo.
Uncle Huo took a sniff and then shook his head: "No."
He turned his head and sniffed, then said, "This scent seems to come from the lady."
Mrs. Huo was slightly surprised. A fragrance?
Could it be the scent that You'er sprayed on her today?
"Does the Lord like this flavor?" Madam Huo quickly concealed her surprise and asked with a smile.
Lord Huo stroked his beard and chuckled, "This scent is subtle yet not cloying, somewhat like the fragrance of orchids, but with a hint of plum blossom. So, this scent truly comes from Madam?"
Madam Huo covered her mouth with her handkerchief and chuckled softly, "I'm not afraid to tell you, Your Excellency, but I'm not used to wearing sachets because I'm not good with perfumes. This fragrance is probably from what You'er sprayed on me today. I thought You'er was being naughty, so I even hit him..."
"Oh? You'er brought this back? What is it?" Uncle Huo raised an eyebrow with great interest.
"I heard it's some kind of perfume."
"That sounds like a rare find." Lord Huo instructed his servant, "Go and invite the young master here."
"Yes, Lord."
Huo Youcai, who had only eaten some vegetarian food for dinner, was starving. So when he heard the servant say that the Earl wanted him to go to the front hall, he immediately went happily.
If he remembered correctly, his father and mother should be having dinner right now.
Sure enough, he could smell the aroma of food even before he entered the door.
Huo Youcai rubbed his stomach, feeling even hungrier.
"Father, Mother." Huo Youcai strode in, his eyes never leaving the chicken, duck, fish and meat on the table.
Mrs. Huo asked softly, "You'er, have you had dinner yet?"
Huo Youcai immediately replied, "No!"
Madam Huo then asked for another set of bowls and chopsticks, and Huo Youcai hurriedly sat down, wishing his eyes were glued to the meat dishes.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Huo asked worriedly, "Are you hungry? Didn't you eat enough at noon?"
Huo Youcai didn't dare say that he had only eaten some fruit at noon: "No, I'm full..."
"Then why are you so hungry?" Madam Huo added a bowl of soup to his bowl and instructed, "Eat slowly."
Looking at his son's impatient appearance, Lord Huo shook his head helplessly. But Lord Huo also loved his son, otherwise he would not have allowed his wife and mother to raise their son into a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.
"You'er, let me ask you, did you spray something on your mother today?"
With food in his mouth, Huo Youcai mumbled, "Yes, yes."
As he spoke, Huo Youcai said with a hint of grievance, "My mother even hit me."
Madam Huo looked at him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't have hit you. Here, try this."
Uncle Huo: "What was that stuff you sprayed on your mother?"
"The boss said it's perfume." Huo Youcai said, chewing his food as he pulled out a small bottle. "This is it."
