I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

After a short conversation with Pei Xiang, James Burley immediately realized that the gentle and docile Miss Gray had succumbed to her fate, and she did not show any fierce resistance in the face of the Lord's "favor".

——It seems that this young girl from a disgraceful background is still very knowledgeable about current affairs.

I don't know what to think of, and there is a playful sneer on the corner of Burley's mouth.

He had been mistaken before, thinking that the young and beautiful Doris Gray was really innocent and pure, and would really resist the temptation and coercion of the lord, and he even guarded the door specially just in case.

Heh, after thinking about it, it should be clear that with her dishonorable background, she must be ready to be a mistress for noble gentlemen.

Otherwise, she could find an honest and ordinary young man to marry based on her beauty, so why run out and become some kind of governess?

With this realization, the Lord's dog legs breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his dry eyes that stayed up all night, turned and left the corridor where the watchman was guarding, intending to fulfill Lord Essex's orders himself.

When he carried a big tray and knocked on the door of the tutor's room again, the person who opened the door was still Pei Xiang wrapped in a wide shawl.

"Quietly."

Pei Xiang put his fingers in the center of the soft lips, motioning James Burley to look inside.

"My lord just said that I feel tired and need to take a light sleep for a while."

Pei Xiang took a step inward to allow James Burley to enter the room.

The smell in the room was very strange, the aroma was so strong and mixed that the manservant couldn't help holding his breath. He quickly scanned the room and found the source of the smell.

Two exquisite perfume bottles were tilted on the carpet. The fragrant liquid in the bottles had almost drained out, leaving a few dark wet marks. Not far away, a painted pottery vase with flowers fell and shattered, and the flower branches were scattered all over the place. scattered on the ground.

In addition, torn clothes, loose pages of paper and books, and some small utensils were thrown everywhere.

——No wonder I didn't smell the familiar smell of sweat, and the smell after the affair...

James Burley took a meaningful look at Pei Xiang, who was bowing his head, thinking that the "battle situation" was so fierce, no wonder Lord Lord was going to take a halftime break, and asked him to bring wine and food to replenish his strength.

The quality of the servant prevented Burley from talking nonsense. After he put the things on the table, he looked up and glanced in the direction of the bed.

Compared with the scene seen in the crack of the door before, Lord Essex is no longer in the original sleeping position at this time. He is reclining in the middle of the big bed, with bare feet and legs, and a blanket over his stomach.

The half-draped bed curtain covered the Lord's upper body, but judging from his lying posture, the Lord should be fast asleep.

James Burley took a playful look at Pei Xiang, frivolous and veiled, his eyes stuck to the young girl's chest for a while, and then he exited the room lightly.

The bedroom door was closed again.

In the quiet space, Pei Xiang silently counted ten in his heart, and then said delicately:

"My lord, my lord, the wine and food are here, do you want to get up now?"

While talking, she raised her legs and stepped on the bed, jumped on the foot of the bed three or four times, made creaking noises, then lowered her voice to imitate the man's deep grunt, and then turned over creakingly There was a sound, the sound of skin and flesh being slapped, and then, she suddenly exclaimed, "My lord~" in a short voice.

After the coquettish sound, the room fell silent again, and then, there was the rustling sound of cloth rubbing and panting...

About ten minutes later, Pei Xiang noticed that the shadow under the crack of the door had finally disappeared, and the sound of extremely light footsteps gradually receded. She listened for a while, and was sure that James Burley in the corner had left temporarily.

Pei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly jumped out of bed, first lit the candlestick at the door, then went to the table, and looked down at the things James Burley had sent.

"Wine, cold meat, snacks and fruits, oh, of course, there is also a new set of men's clothes, huh? Even the leather boots are ready."

She fiddled with the newly acquired men's coat for a while, and then sat down at the table. She didn't drink, but just buried herself in eating.

According to Pei Xiang's preliminary idea, she still has a lot of details to arrange in the future. If she doesn't take the opportunity to replenish some energy, she will have to work hungry.

Pei Xiang quickly wiped out the cold meat rolls and honey-glazed chicken breast, stuffed in two scones and a soft cream bun, and finally moistened his throat with juicy fruit.

The cool, sour and sweet juice passed over the taste buds and relieved the greasy, Pei Xiang squinted his eyes contentedly.

Probably because of the benefits of time travel, since she became Doris Gray, the scars on her body have healed quickly, the neck that was almost cut off does not have the initial burning pain at the moment, and the sprained limbs and joints have long since healed Therefore, Pei Xiang opened up his appetite to enjoy delicious food.

After eating and drinking enough, Pei Xiang continued to work.

She put on the cheated men's clothes for herself, cut off all the gemstone buttons on the Lord's clothes, and carefully checked it several times under the lamp to confirm that there was no coat of arms of the Lord's family on it.

Afterwards, she walked to Lord Essex's body, endured the discomfort and nausea in her heart, and pricked a few more scissors on his body to let the uncoagulated blood flow out of the body.

Wearing new boots, Pei Xiang walked a few steps back and forth in the blood.

Afterwards, she removed the sheets and curtains, and formed a long rope, which was fastened firmly to the bedpost at one end and flung out of the window at the other end.

The room prepared by the butler of the Grove Manor for the tutor is on the west side of the second floor. It is shady and secluded, and the orientation is not particularly good. The wall outside the window is covered with vines, which is good for climbing and blocking the inspection team. search line of sight.

After getting ready, Pei Xiang turned off the lights in the room, and then followed the temporary long rope, turned out the window, and stepped on the stone wall to move to the ground little by little.

Fortunately, it was only the height of the second floor, so Pei Xiang landed safely on the ground after a few strokes.

She held her breath, waited carefully for a while, and found that she had not attracted the attention of other people at all, and couldn't help saying that she was lucky.

After confirming that he left vague bloody footprints on the wall, Pei Xiang deliberately stepped on and broke a few flowers and trees.

Afterwards, she put the temporary rope made of bed sheets and curtains into the verdant creeper. In the dark, as long as they didn't look closely, almost no one would notice the abnormality here.

Pei Xiang bowed his back and walked along the corner to the small corner door on the west side of the main house.

This is the passage often used by the servants of the manor, directly connecting the large kitchen and the wine cellar. After dark, this place is usually locked, and the key is kept by the butler of the Grove Manor.

However, she falsely passed on the lord's order tonight, and ordered his valet to go to the wine cellar to fetch wine and order supper. If James Burley wanted to fulfill the lord's order, he would definitely ask the butler for the key to the corner door.

——James Burley had a bad relationship with the butler who was in charge of house affairs. It is said that when the two competed for the position of butler at the same time, the other party used some unscrupulous means to get James Burley out early.

——If it wasn’t for James Burleigh’s ability to exploit, and then got the favor of Lord Essex and appointed him as his personal servant, then there might not be James Burleigh in the Grove Manor at this time people.

—Therefore, James Burley never gave up the opportunity to take revenge on the housekeeper once he had the opportunity.

——I asked him to fetch wine and supper, and he would definitely take the opportunity to find fault.After asking for the key, he will not return it happily.

——Because according to the rules, the housekeeper must ensure that there are a lot of keys before returning to the room to rest, otherwise, he will have to be on standby to ensure the safety of the gate of the manor.

——James Burley occasionally tossed the butler of the house in this way, relying on his lord's favor, asking for the key in the middle of the night, and then delaying returning it, and only sending it back grudgingly at dawn.

Pei Xiang looked at the Grove Manor under the night, while recalling the gossip she heard from the maids.

It is said that the first two times, the housekeeper waited until dawn, and then asked for the key back with bloodshot eyes.

However, after there were many such things, the butler also learned to be lazy. He no longer guarded obediently, but went back to the house to rest as soon as James Burley left.Anyway, he had lived in the Grove Manor for so long, and he had never met a thief who could break through the patrol.

Pei Xiang walked diagonally opposite the small corner gate, picked up a small stone on the ground, and threw it over.

She waited quietly for a while, and found that there was no sound in the small corner door, so she knew that the butler was lazy again tonight and did not guard the passage of the small corner door.

After a while, Pei Xiang threw another small stone. After waiting, no one came out to check for the abnormal noise.

Confirming the guess in his heart, Pei Xiangmao approached the small corner door with his waist bent, quietly opened a crack in the door, and quickly dodged in.

Through the small corner gate on the west side of the manor, Pei Xiang took a shortcut to the stables, successfully avoiding the patrols and their domesticated hounds.

She walked to the groom's night shift room and knocked on the wooden door of the duty room regularly. After a while, the groom Anderson pulled the door open with a grumpy expression, his tawny eyes were still interrupted by sleepiness.

He stared at Pei Xiang coldly, glanced at her plain clothes, and pulled a sinister smile from the corner of his mouth:

"Boy, you'd better go to the uncle if you have something urgent. Otherwise, you have to taste the taste of Uncle Anderson's urinal tonight!"

Pei Xiang raised her head, fully revealing her face: "Mr. Anderson, it's me, sorry to disturb you."

Pei Xiang didn't want to hide her identity in front of an acquaintance like Anderson. Her current body is definitely a stunner. She is fair and beautiful, bulging forward and backward, charming and natural. It is not a mere men's clothing that can cover up her gender. .

Anderson on the opposite side opened his mouth wide in surprise. Obviously, he did not expect that the always gentle and shy Miss Doris Gray would appear in men's clothes in front of the door of the stable's duty room in the middle of the night.

Something went wrong, and the groom Anderson was sober in his heart, fully awake.

"Miss Gray!?"

Pei Xiang nodded quickly, and then she glanced worriedly at the flickering lights not far away:

"Mr. Anderson, can you let me in, I have something to ask you."

Anderson's expression became stiff due to surprise. He lowered his head and carefully looked at the young girl across from him. His estimating gaze was like a sharp cold sword, and the charming girl opposite couldn't help but flinch.

The sound of dog barking gradually approached, Pei Xiang's brows and eyes were stained with anxiety, she reached into the inner pocket of her coat, and quickly took out a jewel button.

"Mr. Anderson, I brought my reward."

The charming luster of the sapphire softened Anderson's suspicious expression. He grinned and took two steps back: "Miss Gray, please come in."
