Chapter 153 Magnanimous Gentleman(1)_1
Magistrate Li’s official title was not significant, he was only the minor magistrate of Yushu County, but his family was very affluent, and the Garden in the Back House was large and vast, splendid and exceptional.
Huo Yuan followed the housekeeper’s daughter-in-law through pavilion buildings, the waterside pavilion, twists and turns, and eventually arrived at a clean and elegant living quarters.
The daughter-in-law stopped, turned to Huo Yuan and said with a laugh: "Miss just had too much to drink, and was sent here by Madam to rest, this servant has errands to run, so she will not accompany Young Master inside."
Having said that, she bowed and quietly withdrew.
Huo Yuan carried doubts in his heart, but this matter concerned Caiwei, thus he still pushed the door and went in. The room was incredibly refined and exquisite, a charcoal basin containing silvered frost charcoal was placed on the floor, radiating warmth. The room was furnished with things typical of a maiden’s boudoir, excessively luxurious, the intricately carved jade-inlaid bed with its hanging gauze curtain gave a glimpse of a maiden’s graceful curvature, creating a dim and hazy atmosphere.
Huo Yuan, carefully stepping closer to the embroidered couch, beneath the gauze curtain was a brocade quilt. A small fragrance pouch hung off the hook of the curtain, dispersing a faint and enchanting aroma.
"Miss Mu——"
He softly called out, lifted the curtain, and was immediately embraced by the warm and enthralling fragrance.
The person on the couch moved upon hearing the sound, letting the brocade quilt slide off a bit, revealing a lovely, snow-white arm.
