After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 210 Peony
In late spring and early summer, it can occasionally be a bit hot.

Jiao Bubai raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight. With the shadow created by his palm, he was able to open his eyes with difficulty and look at the two houses standing not far away.

He felt strange.

"Here...when did these two houses appear?"

And this place...

If he remembered correctly, this place shouldn't have been like this before, right?
and also……

Jiao Bubai's gaze fell on the large patch of peonies swaying in the wind near the house.

Now is indeed the season for viewing peonies.

But - isn't it a bit too unusual to plant such a large area of peonies in such a remote place?
"Eh?"

Liu Wu was also very surprised: "Why is there a peony field here?"

He knew that peony can be used as medicine and can also be used for ornamental purposes.

It is not uncommon for some people to grow peonies.

But were there any peonies here yesterday?

There is such a large field of peonies. Even though it was a dark and windy night yesterday and you couldn't see your hand in front of you...it's possible that you couldn't smell even a little bit of the fragrance of the peonies, right?

He even looked at Pei Yuanshi next to him with some doubt: "Could it be that peony flowers have no smell?"

Pei Yuanshi glared at him, as if he was extremely unwilling to pay attention to a fool.

"What do you mean by that look?"

Liu Wu immediately became even more annoyed: "If you don't know, just say you don't know. Why are you pretending?"

"When you came here last night, didn't you see such a large field of peony flowers?"

Jiao Bubai keenly grasped the information: "No or didn't you see it?"

"When we arrived, it was already the middle of the night, and there wasn't even a light nearby, so how could we see anything?"

Liu Wu was angry and his tone was not very good.

"But I remember that the wind was quite strong last night." Logically speaking, even if you can't see or smell such a large field of peony flowers, there should be some sound when the wind blows through it..."

Liu Wu frowned, "But last night, apart from the sound of the night watchman knocking on the gong, I didn't hear anything, not even the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves."

But at this time of year, the wind is strong and blowing wildly.

especially……

Liu Wu looked around.

“So many trees, yet they are silent.”

I don’t know if it was in response to his words, but a gust of wind suddenly blew, making a rustling sound.

Liu Wu glanced at Jiao Bubai.

Jiao Bubai also looked at Liu Wu.

The two people looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

strangeness.

Weird!
"That's right! The ghost lady and I only set out here after dusk."

Liu Wu suddenly thought of something and looked at Pei Yuanshi: "But Brother Pei should have come earlier than us, right? Did you notice this peony field at that time?"

Pei Yuanshi said with a straight face: "It was also late at night when I came, and it was dark."

"what?"

Liu Wu was really surprised.

He blinked blankly, uttered "oh" twice, and then said, "Isn't there Murong Tiezhu? Just ask him! It can't be that he only comes late at night, right?"

As Liu Wu spoke, he recalled a detail: "I still remember that at that time, the ghost lady asked Murong Tiezhu to go to the Zhou family and renegotiate the terms with Mr. Zhou."

"We only came to your house after we renegotiated the terms."

"The time when Murong Tiezhu came back was definitely not the Black Sky!"

Upon hearing this, Jiao Bubai waved his hand and asked someone to bring Murong Tiezhu up.
