Chapter 583: Peerless Orchid



Although she was not at the scene in the afternoon, she saw the conflict between Yun Mo and her brother clearly through the telescope on the tower.

On the surface, this "country bumpkin" brought back by his uncle was spoiled and domineering. He dared to fight with his younger brother on the first day he came back. However, after such a scene, the other party not only did not suffer any loss, but also established prestige.

Even the young master of the Shao family dared to beat her up, so who among the servants of the Shao family would dare to bully her in the future? Yes, she was able to enter the gate of the Shao family compound before her identity was clear, so how could she be a fool like Shao Yian.

Shao Ya took a deep breath and walked up to her younger brother.

"That's enough. There's nothing to cry about. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by others."

Shao Yixuan stared at Shao Ya aggrievedly, "Are you still my sister? I was bullied so badly, but you didn't help me and instead scolded me.

"When did I say I wouldn't help you?"

Hearing this, Shao Yixuan's sadness turned into joy. He pushed aside Mrs. Shao San, who was still coaxing him, and stared at Shao Ya with his eyes like light bulbs.

"Sister, then shall we go and settle accounts with that stinky country bumpkin tomorrow!?"

Shao Ya said calmly, "Not tomorrow. She's new here, and it's unreasonable for us to come to her like this. We have to wait for a suitable opportunity."

"Then how long do we have to wait?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

At Lan Ju's side, three generations of the family had eaten and drunk their fill. Sister Hua led the servants to clear the cups and plates on the table and served the sliced ​​watermelon.

"The watermelon I bought today is pretty good. It has a thin skin, red flesh, plenty of juice, and is sweet enough."

Shao Lin took a bite and praised it highly.

Sister Hua said with a smile: "The watermelons grown by the young lady are naturally different from those grown outside."

Shao Lin was surprised and delighted, "Momo, did you grow this watermelon?"

"Um."

Yun Mo also took a piece to eat. It melted in the mouth and was full of juice. One bite was as satisfying as drinking juice.

This was the first watermelon grown in the space. It was also her first time eating it, and it tasted better than she had imagined.

"Sister Hua, please leave a few pieces on the table and share the rest with everyone."

The taste of a cut watermelon would change overnight, so it would be better to share it with the servants, which would be considered a favor.

Sister Hua smiled and responded, "Then I would like to thank the young lady on behalf of all the servants in the main courtyard."

"Is that enough?"

"It's enough. There aren't many people in our main courtyard. The eldest lady's watermelon is very big. Everyone can get a big piece."

"That's good."

After Mrs. Hua happily brought the watermelon away, Shao Lin asked about what happened in the afternoon with concern.

"Momo, I heard that that brat Axuan came to cause trouble for you this afternoon?"

Yun Mo put down the watermelon in her hand, wiped her hands and mouth with a towel, and then replied: "It's not that you are causing trouble for me, and I didn't hold back when I did it. Dad, did I cause you any trouble?"

Shao Lin waved his hands, "Momo, you are my only daughter. If they dare to provoke you, they just don't take me seriously. I won't forgive them.

I heard from Wei Fu that you did a great job today. If someone tries to follow you in the future and you act like today, don't worry. I'll back you up."

At this point, Mrs. Shao also took over the conversation, "Your father is right, Momo, you are the eldest daughter of the Shao family, and my granddaughter. Not to mention that you can't be bullied, you can even walk sideways in the Shao family."

A prominent family like the Shao family is very particular about rules and etiquette. She caused trouble and hit people as soon as she came back, which probably wouldn't have left a good impression on her elders.

It was fine that Shao Lin doted on her and pampered her, but she didn't expect that even Mrs. Shao would put aside her bottom line and principles to support her. Yun Mo was moved, and at the same time, she felt a sense of intimacy and happiness that came from family affection.

"Dad, grandma, don't worry, I know my limits. He is still my brother after all. I just had a little fight with him and didn't hurt him."

Shao Lin snorted, "Yixuan is a tough kid. He's thick-skinned and tough. A couple of beatings won't hurt him."

Sister Hua, who just happened to come over, smiled and continued, "I just heard from Wei Fu that after the second young master returned, he was severely beaten by the third young master, who was so angry that he left the house without even having dinner."

Yun Mo was not surprised at this result at all.

If Shao Yixuan dared to call her a beast, Xiyuan would beat her son severely even if it was just for show.

Sister Hua asked Yun Mo what to do with the two bamboo baskets. Yun Mo asked her to bring the bamboo baskets over. Then she turned to Mrs. Shao and said, "I heard from Dad that you like orchids. I found two pots at the flower and grass market in Jiang City and carefully nurtured them for a while. This small gift is not a respect. I hope you don't mind it, Grandma."

When Mrs. Shao heard that Yun Mo was going to give her orchid, she immediately became interested.

"What kind?"

"One pot of Jade Orchid and one pot of Lotus Orchid."

Shao Lin hissed softly, "Momo, these two pots of orchids are not easy to grow. It took your grandmother several years to figure out the trick."

Mrs. Shao rolled her eyes unceremoniously at her son for exposing her embarrassing past so easily.

Sensing his mother's displeasure, Shao Lin quickly made amends, "But now your grandmother is an orchid expert. No matter what kind of orchid it is, it will bloom with her careful care."

Yun Mo smiled, "I can't compare to my grandmother. I just came here at the last minute to ask a local gardener for some tips on growing orchids."

Mrs. Shao took over the conversation and said, "If you are interested in growing flowers and plants, you can come and learn more when you are free in the future."

"OK."

While the grandparents were talking, two bamboo baskets were carried into the pavilion.

Ling Chuan took the initiative to stand up and open the bamboo basket, then carefully put the orchid inside onto the stone table.

The value of orchids lies in their long cultural history, long growth cycle, and difficulty in maintenance.

Mrs. Shao did not have high expectations for the two pots of precious orchids that her granddaughter was going to give her. She had been raising orchids for decades and had experienced failures. This was her granddaughter's first time with orchids and she was not even an entry-level person, so it would be good enough if she could keep them alive.

She secretly made up her mind that no matter what quality the two pots of orchids looked like, she would pretend to be very happy and surprised so as not to upset her granddaughter.

But when Ling Chuan put the orchid in front of her, she was immediately amazed and couldn't take her eyes off.

As the name suggests, the Jade Orchid has crystal clear flowers that exude a warm and transparent jade-like luster. From a distance, it looks like an exquisite and flawless jade sculpture.

Even Shao Lin, who had no interest in orchids, couldn't help but exclaim, "Momo, is this pot of emerald orchid yours?"

"Well, I've been growing it for a while, and it happened to bloom these two days. It looks pretty good." Yun Mo pretended to be very grateful.

"There's another basin here."

After Sister Hua reminded them, several pairs of eyes turned to the other bamboo basket on the ground.

With the Jade Orchid as a precious treasure, everyone was looking forward to whether there would be a better treasure than the Jade Orchid in the remaining bamboo basket.
