Following the young maid, Liang Mingyu seized a moment of distraction and slipped away.
She wanted to find Yue Luo.
Left turn, right turn, but Yue Luo still wasn't in sight.
When Yue Luo was leaving, she hinted at going to the Qu Shui Pavilion, tracing a wavy line with her hand. That's when Liang Mingyu thought of the Qu Shui Pavilion at the Prince Mansion.
But after walking a round, where was Yue Luo?
Just as she walked behind a rockery, she heard two maids sweeping. One, in a blue dress with a few freckles on her face, was pretty enough. She held a broom and whispered, "Hey, do you know that rather old guard at the Wind Pavilion and Water Pavilion?"
The younger one replied, "Yes, isn't he called Chao Sheng?"
Old?
Amused, Liang Mingyu stopped and leaned leisurely against the rockery.
Speaking of age, the girl in blue pouted, "Right? He's already this old and still not married off. Could it be he has some hidden ailment?"
