Liuli Nuonuo swayed as she walked in front. Her graceful figure looked charming.
The butler lowered his eyes and followed behind. He didn’t dare to look. He only listened to the sound of Madam’s high heels. .h.i.tting the stone floor, but he already felt restless.
Madam’s beauty was indeed enough to make all the men in the world bow down to her. Although the methods used by the Patriarch to obtain Madam back then were a little unsightly, men were like that. If they couldn’t obtain what they wanted, it was inevitable that they would take the wrong path and use the wrong method.
Liuli Nuonuo suddenly stopped.
The butler was thinking about something and was a little distracted. He almost b.u.mped into Liuli Nuonuo.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Liuli Nuonuo suddenly stop walking. The butler hurriedly stopped and bent down slightly to ask, “Madam, what’s wrong?”
Liuli Nuonuo turned around and crossed her arms while looking at the butler inquisitively. The butler felt uneasy under Liuli Nuonuo’s gaze and asked again, “Madam, what do you want me to do?”
“Why is your Patriarch in seclusion this time?” Ever since the Grand State Master pa.s.sed away, Xuanyuan Shen had been in seclusion. During this period, he had never come out once. Liuli Nuonuo wanted to get the divorce agreement from him, but she couldn’t get it. Liuli Nuonuo was somewhat curious about the reason Xuanyuan Shen suddenly went into seclusion.
Could it be that he had encountered a bottleneck and wanted to enter seclusion?
When the butler heard this question, he first frowned slightly, then guessed, “It’s said that on the day of the Grand State Master’s interrogation, the Patriarch fainted. He might have gone into seclusion because he’s feeling unwell.”
“I see.” Liuli Nuonuo had long heard from Liuli Xiangsi about Xuanyuan Shen fainting on the day of the interrogation. Liuli Xiangsi had even joked that Xuanyuan Shen fainted because he had been in bed with a woman for too long and his energy was exhausted.
Liuli Nuo laughed mockingly. She said to the butler, “You’ve been by the Patriarch’s side since you were young. You’re his trusted aide. His actions are ridiculous and his relationships are messy. You should give him some pointers. Don’t let him die on a woman’s bed someday. If word gets out, he will be a laughing stock.”
The butler smiled bitterly. “Madam, the Patriarch isn’t a l.u.s.tful person.”
“Heh…” Liuli Nuonuo glanced at the small villa where Luo Shihan and Jing Sa lived before turning around and walking towards Xuanyuan Shen’s residence.
Xuanyuan Shen lived in a courtyard at the top of the mountain. Luo Shihan and Jing Sa couldn’t enter and exit the Patriarch’s residence without Xuanyuan Shen’s permission. That was the residence of the Patriarch and the Patriarch’s wife. However, Liuli Nuonuo found it disgusting to live with Xuanyuan Shen, so she moved to a large villa by the lake at the foot of the mountain and lived alone.
Seeing Liuli Nuonuo come, the warriors guarding outside the manor hurriedly placed the long knives in front of them behind their backs and shouted with their heads held high, “h.e.l.lo, Madam!”
Liuli Nuonuo had a pair of charming eyes. She looked at everyone flirtatiously, but the moment she entered the courtyard, the mirth in her eyes disappeared.
The architectural style of this courtyard was that of a cla.s.sical garden.
When the Xuanyuan Clan was first established, this kind of architectural style was popular in the Divine Realm Continent. Therefore, the Xuanyuan Clan’s ancestor hired the most famous garden master of the Divine Realm Continent in that era to design this courtyard for the Xuanyuan Clan. At the beginning, the master refused it because he knew that the day he handed over the design draft that satisfied Xuanyuan Clan’s ancestor was the day he died.
It was only when the master pa.s.sed his seventieth birthday and sensed that he was about to die that he accepted it.
The master spent two years designing this home.
A large family clan like the Xuanyuan Clan naturally wouldn’t let anyone know about the mysteries of the interior design of the home. As that master had expected, the night he handed the design sketch to Xuanyuan Clan’s ancestor, he pa.s.sed away peacefully in his sleep.
This garden was too old, and every grayish wall brick was covered in traces of history and age. Liuli Nuonuo stepped through the door and looked up to see a part.i.tion wall. Under the wall, there was an artificial spring, and hidden in the fake mountain above the spring, there was a unique lodgepole pine.
Liuli Nuo walked around the stone wall screen. Behind the screen, there was a s.p.a.cious and picturesque courtyard. In the courtyard, there was a persimmon tree that had been planted for a long time. It was said that this persimmon tree was personally planted by the first Madam Xuanyuan. After she pa.s.sed away, Patriarch Xuanyuan used a freezing technique to freeze the persimmon tree forever to look how it did the day his lover pa.s.sed away.
