The servants in the fifth courtyard all knew that things were going to change in the Pei family today.
No one dared to breathe, for fear that the two "bosses" above them would be angry and cause trouble to the fish pond.
They are in trouble.
So when Pei Sui left the main courtyard, no one dared to follow him. Even the person in charge of the tool room didn't dare to say anything when he saw him holding an axe and a shovel.
But he was afraid that the second young master would do something irreversible in his impulse, so after hesitating for a long time, he reluctantly dragged the other two people along.
When they passed the gate of the plum garden, they heard the sound of chopping trees inside and were stunned for a moment, then hurried in.
So when they saw Pei Sui rolling up his sleeves and chopping down the plum tree, they were stunned and forgot to breathe for a moment.
Everyone in the Pei family knew that the Madam treated this plum garden as her life, and she usually ordered them to take care of it without any mistakes.
It is for this reason that the servants who take care of the plum garden are paid two cents more than the servants who take care of the eldest young master's courtyard.
They looked at the six or seven plum trees that had fallen down, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
Someone bravely called out, "Second Young Master..."
Pei Sui heard it, but he pretended not to hear it and continued with what he was doing.
Manually chopping and shoveling trees is still too slow and tiring.
We should use an excavator to flatten the entire yard.
It’s a pity that the excavator can’t enter this yard.
Otherwise, there would be no need for him to go through so much trouble.
They bravely stepped forward, their faces panicked, and tried to stop him, "Second Young Master, you... this belongs to the Madam..."
"roll!"
Pei Sui's sweaty face showed no expression, but the storm in his eyes seemed extremely impatient.
There was a lot of dirt and dead branches and sawdust on his clothes, pants, and even his head.
He just pulled his thin lips extremely coldly and icy, and uttered a frozen scale.
The servants were horrified and fell silent, not daring to say a word. Cold sweat broke out on their backs, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
The second young master was really angry this time.
But they also felt anxious and uncomfortable standing here if he had to watch them. While their thoughts were in chaos, someone reacted and immediately ran back to the main courtyard.
When Cui Xueheng was hurriedly supported by Du Ping to the plum garden, she saw the plum trees lying all over the ground. The originally flat ground now had several large pits in sight.
Some of the plum tree branches that were still standing were chopped into pieces.
The plum branches once stretched towards the sky with an elegant posture, but now they are like broken bone claws, piercing the muddy ground.
At this moment, that quiet, elegant and ingenious courtyard no longer exists.
That year, the fragrance of the plum garden had faded, and the plum trees had all fallen, leaving only a mess between heaven and earth.
Along with the little flame that had been burning in her heart for decades, it was completely extinguished at this moment by a cold downpour.
That winter with dancing shadows, colorful flowers, mossy branches and snow-covered snow was slaughtered completely.
The despair rising from the soles of her feet crushed her bones inch by inch.
The servants who followed along all gasped and saw stars.
"ah!"
Cui Xueheng was stunned for a few seconds, the mess in her pupils became clearer and clearer, and then gradually became blurred.
She suddenly let out a scream that pierced the sky and was deafening, but it sounded particularly shrill in this garden with 62 plum trees.
Her emotions collapsed in an instant.
Even the medicine could not relieve her despair and pain at the moment. She suddenly pushed away Du Ping's hand that was supporting her, and all her eyes were focused on Pei Sui who was still swinging the axe.
A strong, tingling urge pulled her forward.
He screamed heartbreakingly at the ruthless and cold-blooded figure, "Pei Sui, Pei Sui, stop it, stop it! The plum tree... my plum tree... don't touch my plum tree, Pei Sui! Pei Sui! You damned rebellious son, stop it! Stop it right now!"
When she reached Pei Sui, she went up to pull his arm, but as soon as she touched him, he shook it away with force.
He frowned in disgust, his demeanor terribly cold, "Don't fucking touch me!"
Cui Xueheng's body was not very stable to begin with, and after being swung by him, she fell down unexpectedly.
The hand supporting the ground was also cut by the sharp fingers.
The dirt and sawdust on the ground stained her plain cheongsam.
But she didn't care about these things at all. Looking at the plum tree collapsing in front of her, she sank into a dark and desperate abyss.
She watched helplessly as Pei Sui walked to another plum tree and could only burst into tears, "My plum tree, plum tree...ah...someone, someone, someone! Hurry and hold him back! Hold him back! I can't let him destroy my plum tree! Hold him back!"
These plum trees were planted for her by Pei Sui's father the year she married into the Pei family.
62 trees, corresponding to her birthday, June 2nd.
Every tree here has a number, and she remembers clearly the location, growth, and color of each plum blossom.
Ever since Pei Sui's father passed away, this plum garden has almost become the pillar that supports her survival. She spends the longest time in this plum garden throughout the year and must come to see them every day.
But now it has been ruined by Pei Sui.
The servants wanted to step forward to stop them, but they didn't dare. The servant who managed the plum garden felt sorry for the plum trees and bravely tried to pull Pei Sui away.
But before he could touch the corner of his clothes, Pei Sui glanced at him coldly.
His voice was like the sound of cracking coming from deep in the polar glacier, and every word was wrapped in a biting chill.
The air was almost frost-like in the summer evening. "I don't want your claws anymore, so come and try to stop me. The Pei family can afford the medical expenses."
The servant's hand, which was hanging in the air, suddenly froze, his whole body stood still, his eyes trembling with fear.
The other servants who wanted to move forward suddenly stopped in their tracks.
They believed that the second young master could do what he said.
They had never seen such a Second Young Master, but they were still afraid and in awe of him from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing that they didn't move, Pei Sui twitched his lips and stared at Cui Xueheng lying on the ground. "How is it? Does the feeling of despair and powerlessness taste good?"
After saying that, he withdrew his gaze and continued to swing the axe in his hand, chopping off the slightly thick plum tree.
