Mu Qing, hounded by marriage pressure to the point of not daring to return home, rented her elder brother's classmate, Ye Junbo, to pretend to be her husband, all for the sake of a peaceful lif...
"Clean up all these flowers and plants for me, even replace the soil they're growing in with clean ones!"
Shen Yimo gave orders. She didn't speak harshly and sounded gentle, but her voice always carried a sense of coldness and majesty.
Everyone heard that the lady had returned differently this time.
At this moment, listening to Shen Yimo's instructions, all the gardeners looked at Shen Yimo in a daze.
For the gardeners, no matter what kind of flowers they plant, it represents their sweat and hard work. They treat every tree, flower and blade of grass in the manor as their children.
In the past, the second and third wives wanted to destroy the original sea of flowers. At that time, the lady was still crazy and the young master was still young. The head of the family had to be busy with business and take care of household chores, so they would never disturb the head of the family for such a small matter.
So they obeyed the two ladies' wishes and cleared away the original sea of flowers.
That is the lady's favorite flower.
But the lady has gone crazy. The head of the family is becoming more and more indifferent to her. Even the young master is not favored by the head of the family. Who knows how long the lady and her son can stay in the Lan family manor?
In comparison, they would listen to the two ladies.
After nearly twenty years, the garden is now facing another devastating disaster, and the gardeners are naturally heartbroken.
The leading gardener said carefully, "Madam, these flowers are very beautiful. It's a pity to clear them all away after so many years of cultivation."
The lady has always been kind, gentle and easy to talk to.
With some persuasion, perhaps these flowers and plants can be preserved.
"Do you think my words as your wife don't count? Or do you simply not consider me the wife of the head of the family? You should restore this place to its original state. Many of those flowers were planted and cared for by me. You destroyed my flowers, so shouldn't you compensate me?"
When they were young, the couple had a deep affection for each other. She liked roses of various colors, peonies, peonies, camellias, etc. Lan Rui would buy her a lot of flowers and plant them here, and a gardener would take care of them carefully every day.
In her spare time, she also likes to take care of flowers and plants herself, both to pass the time and to find fun in it.
She feels a sense of accomplishment when she sees the flowers she takes care of blooming, each one gorgeous and in clusters, so beautiful.
At that time, every morning and evening, the couple would walk hand in hand among the flowers, romantic and sweet.
Of course, at this moment, Chen Yimo didn't want to go back to the past with Lan Rui. She just wanted to let her two sisters-in-law and everyone else know that she, Chen Yimo, would not let them manipulate her.
The gardener opened his mouth, speechless.
They looked at each other, reluctant to destroy all the flowers and plants they had taken care of for so many years, but unable to argue with their wife.
They are all old people in the Lan family manor. They have witnessed the lady marrying into the Lan family, from being favored to being crazy and falling out of favor, and then to her sobriety now.
There are many things they dare not say, but that does not mean they are not clear about them.
"Miss."
When the gardeners were in trouble, they suddenly saw Mu Qing and his wife in the distance. The old gardener in the lead shouted loudly.
Mu Qing accompanied her husband for a morning run.
After running for a while, I felt tired and started walking instead.
Hearing the shouting, Mu Qing looked in the direction of the sound and saw her beautiful mother. There was a group of people standing in front of her mother. Thinking that someone was going to attack her beautiful mother, Mu Qing and her husband immediately hurried over.
"What's going on? What are you trying to do? Mom, are you okay? Did they hurt you?"
Mu Qing asked a series of questions.
Ye Junbojun's face was stern, and he asked the gardeners in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Even though Ye Junbo is only the son-in-law of the Lan family and he just came here yesterday, many workers have not seen this son-in-law who also comes from a wealthy family worth hundreds of billions. However, he has been in a high position for a long time and has accumulated a lot of power. When he has a stern face, the oppressive majesty emanates from him, which makes people feel afraid.
The old gardener had never seen Ye Junbo before, but he knew that the young lady had returned accompanied by her son-in-law. He guessed Ye Junbo's identity and hurriedly explained, "Young lady, son-in-law, this is what happened. Madam asked us to remove all the flowers in the garden and even replace the soil."
"We've taken care of this garden for years, and we've grown attached to it. It would be a shame to uproot and clear out all the flowers and plants at once. Miss, please help us persuade the Madam. To us gardeners, the flowers, plants, and trees are like our own children."
Mu Qing looked at her mother, not quite understanding why she wanted to clear all the flowers in the garden.
However, she believed that her mother was not the kind of person who would act unreasonably, and there must be a reason.
She chose to wait for her mother to speak.
"Back then, when the Second and Third Madams ordered you to remove all those flowers and plants, did you ever plead for them?"
Gardeners: ...
Mu Qing understood.
She had heard from her brother that her parents had a very good relationship when they were young. Her mother loved flowers, so her father cleared a large open space in the manor and had people plant the flowers her mother liked. When spring came and the flowers bloomed, the garden was filled with a sea of flowers, so beautiful that people couldn't help but linger.
Unfortunately, after my mother went crazy, my second and third aunts ordered people to clear away those flowers and plant their favorite flowers and plants.
Now, the mother is just asking for belated justice.
"You didn't say anything back then, did you? They told you to destroy all the flowers and plants, so you did it, right?"
The gardeners lowered their heads, unable and afraid to answer the lady's questions.
The lady's guess was absolutely correct.
At that time, the lady was in such a situation that even the servants looked down on her. The second and third wives wanted to destroy the flowers that the lady liked, but they said nothing and just gave in to the two wives.
They thought that the lady would be like that for the rest of her life.
It will be even worse.
Therefore, I never thought that one day, the lady would seek justice for those flowers and plants, no, the lady would seek justice for herself.
Mu Qing's expression turned icy. She said in a cold voice, "Since Madam doesn't like these flowers and plants, then we'll do as Madam wishes and remove them all, and replace the soil as well."
"Miss, the grass is still the same grass as before."
"Change it!"
The gardeners dared not speak any more.
Mu Qing held her mother's arm, and she and her husband accompanied her mother on either side. She softened her tone and said, "Mom, just let them change. Don't get angry over such trivial matters."
"I'm not angry."
In front of her daughter and son-in-law, Shen Yimo is the gentle and generous beautiful mother again.
Everyone speaks softly.
He was completely different from the cold and aloof person just now.
"Mom just wants back what belongs to her. As long as your dad doesn't divorce me, I'm still the head of this family. It's not their turn to bully me."
