Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 235 The beauty hidden in the golden house

He didn't need to turn around; he could guess who it was just by the familiar voice—it was his old friend, Cang Jinshan, the old man from the Cang family.

"Hey! What brings you here, old man?" Lord Gu turned around, looked at Cang Jinshan who was already standing at the door, slightly out of breath, and asked with a smile.

Cang Jinshan widened his eyes and replied irritably, "What? Not welcome? Humph! You old geezer, you're not being fair! Such a big thing as your grandson coming back and you didn't even send someone to tell me, what's wrong with you?"

"Do you think I'm afraid you'll eat your grandson?" After saying that, he ignored Old Marquis Gu and walked straight into the house.

However, the old Marquis Gu had just finished drinking peach blossom honey, and the whole room was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

He didn't want that greedy old man to come into the house at all, otherwise his peach blossom honey might be lost.

So he quickly reached out to stop Cang Jinshan, and said with a smile, "Don't be like that, how can I not welcome you? It's just... I just cleaned this house, and there's a lot of dust. Why don't we sit in the garden in the backyard for a while?"

It wasn't that he was stingy and unwilling to give; it was simply that the peach blossom honey was a special gift from his grandson out of filial piety.

Before the old man could even step into the house, he was grabbed and shouted, "Look at what you're saying!"

To be honest, my son just came back from outside, and perhaps he hasn't been able to adjust for a while, because he's fallen ill.

"I was thinking that once this brat recovers, he'll come to visit you and ask for a gift. Don't be stingy with it!" As he spoke, the old Marquis Gu grabbed the old man without saying another word and headed straight for the garden.

The old man muttered to himself, feeling that this old man Gu was acting rather strangely today.

Logically speaking, why wouldn't they even let me into the house, but instead dragged me towards the garden in the distance?

There must be something fishy about this; this old guy is definitely not normal.

The old man simply moved closer to examine Lord Gu closely. He took a sniff and was surprised to smell a faint, elegant, and pleasant peach blossom fragrance.

Oh my goodness! This is really strange!

This old man is already so old, could he still be secretly keeping a mistress at home?

Hmph! No way, I have to find out the truth today, no matter what.

“Very well, since that’s the case, let’s go sit in the garden in the backyard for a while.” The old man’s eyes darted around, and he deliberately agreed with the old Marquis Gu’s suggestion, taking two steps forward to follow him closely.

Taking advantage of the moment when Lord Gu was not paying attention and his gaze shifted elsewhere, he quickly broke free from the large hand that was tightly gripping his wrist and ran wildly into the house.

This sudden action startled the old Marquis Gu, whose face instantly turned grim. He muttered with a mournful expression, "Oh dear, it's all over, this is terrible!"

You know, this old man's nose is even more sensitive than a dog's! His peach blossom nectar is probably in grave danger.

Seeing the old Marquis Gu's appearance, the old man couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that he really guessed right? Otherwise, why would he look so worried?

Thinking about this, the old man became more and more convinced that it was true, so he quickened his pace and began searching around the house.

Huh? Where did this guy hide them? I can't find them anywhere!

The old man muttered to himself as he frowned and carefully looked around.

Suddenly, he smelled a familiar fragrance, exactly the same as that emanating from Lord Gu, but even stronger and richer.

Clearly, that person hadn't gone far and must still be hiding in some corner of the room.

The old man cast a suspicious glance at Lord Gu again, only to see that the other man's eyes were shifting, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.

Hmph! I really underestimated you this time. You managed to hide the person so well. Once I find him, I'll give this old man a good scolding! With that thought, the old man continued his search.

Just then, the old man's gaze inadvertently swept over the back of Lord Gu and unexpectedly discovered a cabinet there with a lock on it.

Haha, I see! That must be where that person was hidden! The old man revealed a smug smile and strode towards the cabinet.

"Old Gu, I never expected to underestimate you so much! You managed to hide so well so that I wouldn't notice you. Hmph, but even so, I still managed to find you in the end. Are you still not going to let me see you now?" The old man looked smug and glared at Lord Gu.

Lord Gu sighed helplessly, "Alas! Oh well, I knew all along that I couldn't hide it from you, you old fool."

After saying that, he reluctantly reached into his pocket and fumbled for a small key.

However, just as he was about to unlock the door with his key, the old man suddenly called out, "Wait! Let me unlock this door."

Before he finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face. He quickly squeezed past Old Master Gu and rushed to the cabinet door in two steps.

Without hesitation, he reached out and pulled hard on the cabinet door.

In an instant, an even richer and more intoxicating fragrance of peach blossoms wafted over, as enchanting as a spring breeze.

The old man was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "Huh? Isn't this supposed to be about keeping a mistress in a golden house? Why is there a jar inside?"

Lord Gu was also somewhat puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by 'hidden treasure'?"

The old marquis couldn't remember the last time he had been so embarrassed. He could only laugh awkwardly to cover up his predicament and said, "Oh dear, it's just a jar. Why are you locking it up?"

"You think anyone's going to steal this piece of junk? Tsk tsk tsk, you really are getting stingier with age!"

However, Lord Gu turned a deaf ear to these words; he wouldn't pay any attention to them!

Instead, he retorted without hesitation: "Hmph! Although it's true that no one else would come to steal it, your dog nose is just too sharp!"

Even though I've locked it up, you can still find it like you can smell bones. So tell me, how can I not be wary of you?

Hearing this, the old man became angry and shouted, "Hey! You old codger! It's just a mere jar, do you think I'd fight you for it? You underestimate me!"
