Apart from that time, he seemed to have smelled this scent somewhere else, but he couldn't remember where exactly.
He stopped and looked back. At this time, Wen Zhu and Hong Yu, who thought he had left, were about to leave.
The moment Wen Zhu turned his head, Fu Yu's eyes widened involuntarily.
The person in front of him overlapped with the shadow in his memory.
"Please wait a moment." Fu Yu blurted out.
Hearing this, Wen Zhu and Hong Yu were startled and quickly turned around and bowed slightly to him: "Does the prince have any other instructions?"
Fu Yu kept his eyes on Wen Zhu: "Which courtyard do you serve in?"
Hongyu quickly replied, "We are the maids from Liuyun Garden, and we came here with the young lady."
Hearing this answer, Fu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. Unexpectedly, what Mo Yi said at that time was really right.
Fu Yu nodded softly and walked away.
Only after watching Fu Yu walk away did Hongyu say with a puzzled look, "That's strange. Why would the prince stop us and ask us questions for no reason?"
Wen Zhu's lips curled up slightly. The arrangements made earlier had indeed worked, and Fu Yu had not disappointed her.
"He might just think we're good-looking, so he's just asking casually," Wen Zhu explained. "Okay, let's go back quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, she led the way forward.
"Oh!" Hongyu didn't think any more and hurriedly followed Wen Zhu's footsteps forward.
On the other side, Fu Yu, who had returned to the front yard, seemed a little absent-minded.
Noticing this, Fu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "Zhiyao, you've been so absent-minded these past few days. Is something bothering you?"
Without waiting for Fu Yu to respond, Fu Yuan continued, "You are about to officially start working at the court. Many prestigious figures in the court have come to your home in the past few days.
But what about you? You either refuse to go or find all sorts of excuses to slip away, and you can't even sit still for a moment!
Do you think the reasons you made up are perfect?
I tell you, others can see through your perfunctory attitude at a glance.
Although they didn't say anything out of consideration for our Marquis' Mansion, it doesn't mean you can continue like this!"
Fu Yuan talked a lot, but not a single word could be really heard by Fu Yu.
For some reason, the image of that maid appeared in his mind again.
She was a girl who had just arrived here, but she seemed to understand what he was thinking...
"Zhiyao!"
Fu Yuan's voice suddenly rose an octave, and Fu Yu finally came back to his senses: "Father."
Fu Yuan looked at him helplessly: "I have already paved the way for you, but with your attitude now...what are you going to do?"
Facing Fu Yuan's gaze, Fu Yu sighed and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just hope that father will stop worrying about me in the future. Now that I have entered the court, I also want to do what I want to do."
Let's take this opportunity to make things clear.
However, upon hearing this, Fu Yuan's eyebrows immediately frowned: "Do you mean that I'm too controlling?"
"That's not what I meant," Fu Yu hurriedly explained. "I just felt that when I first entered the court, instead of wasting time on building relationships, it would be better to familiarize myself with state affairs and do my job well."
"childish!"
Fu Yuan looked at him, "Zhiyao, I've experienced much more than you. There are many twists and turns in the court that you don't understand. Connections are necessary. Otherwise, you will go through a lot of unnecessary trouble! I'm your father, how could I harm you!"
At this point, Fu Yuan was a little annoyed: "If I had the chance like you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams! Now I've brought the food to you, and look at what you are doing now!"
Fu Yu pursed his lips, a familiar feeling of powerlessness rising in his heart.
Although he won three first places in a row and seemed very glorious to outsiders, in Fu Yuan's eyes, he was still just a kid who knew nothing.
But he also knew that without the guidance of the famous teacher invited by Fu Yuan, he would not have been able to get to where he is today.
Therefore, he had no way to resist and could only take a deep breath: "...I understand."
Fu Yuan was finally satisfied: "That's good to know! I've tried my best for your own good, so don't let me down!"
"yes."
Remembering that Fu Yu had to report to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow, Fu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back and have a good rest."
Only then was Fu Yu able to leave. As soon as he left the house, Fu Yu sighed heavily.
Fu Yuan's attitude was like this, Liu Shi didn't care about it, Wen Chan...
He actually felt like he had nowhere to go in this home.
Mo Yi came forward at this time: "Prince, where are we going?"
Fu Yu pursed his lips and said, "Let's go for a walk in the backyard."
His face remained expressionless, but he secretly felt some subtle expectations in his heart.
It would be nice if he could meet someone who understands him.
Mo Yi didn't notice it, so he agreed and followed him, wandering around the backyard seemingly casually.
At this time, Wen Zhu, who was worried about Fu Yu, had returned to her boudoir.
She took out a twenty-liang silver note from a box and handed it to Hongyu: "Go to the escort agency and ask if the things we asked them to deliver last time have arrived. And then buy me some writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone."
Hongyu said in surprise, "Miss, you can read and write?"
Wen Zhu nodded slightly.
Her adoptive parents used to run a private school in the countryside, so she started reading and writing from a young age.
"That's amazing." Hongyu took the silver and said, "I'll go over right away."
After saying that, Hongyu turned and left.
After Hongyu left, Wen Zhu had nothing to do in the house, so he simply went out and took a walk in the yard.
This Liuyun Garden was specially arranged by Madam Yun, and the decorations everywhere are much more exquisite than those in the garden outside.
Wen Zhu walked around the yard and stopped at the spot where he had hung the handkerchief that day. How could it have been lost?
The material of that handkerchief was bought by Duan Huaichuan, and the pattern was embroidered by her herself. She always carries it with her and it is extremely precious.
Although she made several handkerchiefs with the cloth bought by Duan Huaichuan, the lost handkerchief was not the only one.
She didn't feel anything special when she lost it, but in the past few days, she kept thinking about the lost handkerchief.
Wen Zhu sighed.
It's been so many days, the handkerchief may not be found anymore.
Wen Zhu stood by the tree in a daze, completely unaware of the gaze falling on her.
As soon as Fu Yu came back, he saw the maid who was in a daze beside the tree, and he subconsciously walked towards her.
At this moment, a voice sounded: "Husband?"
Fu Yu stopped and turned to look at the person who spoke: "...Madam."
Wen Chan smiled and walked towards him, her steps light: "I was just about to go to dinner, did my husband come back specially to accompany me?"
Fu Yu glanced over and found that the little maid was gone. He sighed secretly in his heart: "I just came back to get something. I will go to the study later."
Hearing this, Wen Chan's eyes flashed with disappointment: "...I see."
