Ghostly Fragrance [COMPLETED] [UNEDITED]

Biting off more than you can chew

The caretaker was indebted to Fangsu so he willingly gave a copy of the records. The caretaker was lanky and thin, freckles were peppered all over his face, and he had very plain, "The caretaker is called Sun Wu Song, may I know of the young miss's name?" The nervous caretaker had a temperament of a mouse, scared and extremely tender

Fangsu took the notebook, looking at the detailed notes about the beast. Records of symptoms, daily records of the beast's action, diets, previous diagnosis and routine of care, "This lady is called Chen Fangsu," Fangsu introduces herself as she curtsied. Everything seems normal judging from the detailed notes, "Does everyone keep a journal on the beast's health?" Fangsu held the caretaker in high regard having put so much detail to record almost every detail.

The caretaker shook his head, "I'm afraid, I'm the only one who keeps a detailed record." He began touring the facilities for Fangsu so that she could familiarise herself with the area assuming that she would work here, "I'm glad that someone my age is going to work here." The caretaker was quite thrilled to have Fangsu here.

Fangsu was confused, "You mean you are the only young person here?" Asking the caretaker, who nodded in response.

Fangsu held the journal in her hand, "I will look over the notes tonight and I will come here tomorrow morning." Leaving the caretaker to continue the day's work.

Fangsu felt an uncomfortable queasy feeling that she would possibly face the consequences. This was more than she could chew on. Already working as a boss for Flowery Fragrance was stressful enough to let her basically dig her grave by being forced to cure a crazed beast with no means of cultivation to defend herself. The banquet was now filled as the males had just returned. Seeing her grandpa, Fangsu depressingly clung onto her grandpa's sleeves, "Grandpa I think I have dug myself my grave." Her soul was ready to leave at any given moment.

The grandpa was extremely worried about Fangsu as she probably fell in someone's trap, "Fangsu did something happen while I was gone?" Question Fangsu whose lips were quivering.

Fangsu grabbed her grandpa's sleeve, "It's best that I tell you after we leave for the Banquet." Fearing that her grandpa would unleash his fury to wreck everything in his path. Her grandpa was stunned. This was a serious problem that Fangsu would say. Both the grandpa and granddaughter pair silently sat but in the tent with depressive aura around them. Lady Meng, Li Mo and Biyu were worried about the pair who kept quiet despite the festive mood, but the Empress Dowager knew what had happened as she had someone follow Fangsu and naturally told Lady Meng.

Fangsu was quite distraught about how things proceed. Lady Meng moved closer to Fangsu, "Fangsu, dear, the Royal Court is a nasty place and people will use their authority to trap you." Lady Meng advice rang into Fangsu's ear who could barely hear anything, "After this incident, I hope you can avoid troublesome people as much as possible." Those words enforced Fangsu's bitter feelings towards everything in the capital.

Fangsu released an extremely loud sigh, "It is so tiring," Turning to her grandpa who was anxiously sitting in his seat, "Grandpa I will need Wen Cheng to cover me until Spring." Fangsu clenched her hands together as a dark expression of annoyance and anger began forming which surprised that Fangsu's grandpa had never seen Fangsu very angry. Well, he had seen her angry at trivial things with her sister but not this type of angry. But, that expression annoyance soon quickly disappeared because Biyu and Li Mo and a happy expression were replaced.

The Banquet soon ended and Fangsu shifted back to her nonchalant personality as they returned back home. Both Fangsu and her grandpa sat on opposite ends of the table, "What did you get yourself into?" Fangsu's grandpa was quite nervous to hear what trouble has ensued at the feminine art banquet.
