Bai Qingzhi's preferences were sent back early the next morning. Seeing that her favorite flower was the rose, Enzhe's eyes flashed with contemplation.
"Pull up all the rose bushes in the garden and plant more roses instead," Enzhe said without changing his expression.
"Young Master, that's what Miss Biao likes."
"Is this place ruled by Miss Biao or by me?" Enzhe looked over, his eyes filled with indifference.
The maid knew that Eun-cheol appeared to be a refined businessman, but when he really got ruthless, he would stop at nothing. So, after seeing his eyes, she immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
Enzhe didn't say anything, but simply stood up and picked up his briefcase.
"The task I assigned must be completed within one day." With that, he left without looking back.
Bai Qingzhi spent the whole morning playing hide-and-seek with En Yan, when she suddenly heard the sound of a car around noon.
Immediately afterwards, two bulldozers rumbled in. En Yan stopped running and stood in a row with Bai Qingzhi, watching intently.
"What are they doing here?" Bai Qingzhi asked En Yan curiously.
En Yan shook her head, giving a blank and innocent answer that she didn't know.
The old butler stood behind the two, gazing thoughtfully at Bai Qingzhi's retreating figure.
"Sister, shall we go take a look?" Eun-yeon suggested, blinking her eyes.
Bai Qingzhi was also extremely curious and nodded in agreement.
The two carefully walked to the back garden, and then Bai Qingzhi saw that the roses that had been blooming beautifully in the morning were all overturned by the bulldozer without any mercy.
The servants in the manor followed behind, picking out the flowers one by one, followed by the hired workers.
A huge number of rose seedlings were placed next to them, and workers were planting them one by one.
In just over three hours, dozens of people efficiently replaced the entire large back garden.
"So many roses, were they all thrown away?" Bai Qingzhi frowned, feeling it was such a waste.
“The young master said that roses are not as pretty as wild roses,” the old butler replied.
Bai Qingzhi didn't reply. Although she really liked roses, this was indeed too extravagant.
En Yan didn't seem to notice anything amiss. He excitedly ran through the flowerbeds, shouting for Bai Qingzhi to catch him.
When Enzhe returned home that evening, he first inquired about Bai Qingzhi's reaction to seeing the roses. After hearing the maid's detailed description, he couldn't help but laugh.
Despite being born into a wealthy family, she acts with extremely sound moral values, which makes her quite endearing.
The old butler had already arranged for Enyan to sleep, and now, seeing the young master's reaction, he felt a mix of emotions.
"Young Master, Miss Bai is here to keep the Second Young Master company." He had been with the En family since their parents were alive, and he had watched the En brothers grow up, so he usually held a high position in the En family.
Enzhe paused for a moment, then frowned.
He understood what the old butler meant, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he began to reflect on whether he had really been paying too much attention to Bai Qingzhi.
It's just that Eun-yeon likes it.
“Eun-yeon likes her, and she’s my sister now, so it’s normal to give her special treatment.” Eun-cheol quickly reassured himself.
The old butler's gaze deepened, and he bent down slightly.
"Young Master, Miss Biao will be back soon. She is the daughter-in-law chosen by Madam. We hope that you can fulfill Madam's last wish and marry Miss Biao as soon as possible."
Euncheol's face, which had been relatively calm just moments before, suddenly darkened.
"I know what I'm doing, and we don't need to bring this up again."
The old butler sensed the displeasure in Eun-cheol's tone, nodded slightly, and then withdrew.
Only after Enzhe could no longer see him did the old butler take out his phone and dial that number, briefly recounting the recent events involving the En family.
Seemingly to escape, Enzhe hasn't been home for two days in a row, and Bai Qingzhi is also happy to be at ease.
Most of the roses in the back garden survived, although they were still somewhat wilted, but Bai Qingzhi still liked to spend all her days there.
She was squatting on the ground tending to the roses when she suddenly heard a sharp female voice behind her.
"You are Enzhi?"
Bai Qingzhi turned her head in surprise and saw a tall woman with sharp eyes standing not far from her, looking at her with a questioning gaze.
"That's me." Bai Qingzhi was already familiar with the name Enzhi.
Looking at the dirt on her hands, the woman gave her a disdainful glance.
"They're really raised like pets, they don't know anything about being refined." After saying that, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.
The maid following behind Bai Qingzhi heard the entire conversation between the two. Only after watching the young lady's departing figure did the maid slowly begin to introduce her.
"This is Miss Biao, the daughter of Madam's distant cousin, and also the daughter-in-law Madam has chosen, as well as the eldest young master's fiancée."
Bai Qingzhi nodded. It was normal for others to look down on her for personally tending to the roses in a family like the En family.
Nodding nonchalantly to indicate that she understood, Bai Qingzhi decided to keep her distance from her in the future, since this cousin didn't seem very friendly to her.
During dinner, Euncheol unexpectedly went home, and the four of them sat at a table, but only Eunyeon seemed to enjoy her meal.
The dinner table was still mostly filled with dishes that Bai Qingzhi liked, but Wen Wen found this rather odd.
"What kind of garbage is this? When did our En family fall so low as to eat this kind of trash?" Wen Wen slammed her chopsticks on the bowl and questioned loudly.
Bai Qingzhi paused in her act of stuffing food into her mouth, glancing at the dishes on the table.
She thinks it's great!
"If you're not going to eat, then get out of here. Stop making a racket." En Yan shouted loudly, her mouth still full of rice grains.
After saying that, he didn't forget to put a piece of food on Bai Qingzhi's plate.
"Sister, eat quickly, it's delicious!"
Bai Qingzhi smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"Where's the chef? Take all this garbage away and redo it!" Wen Wen glared at En Yan and continued.
Enzhe had ignored her the whole time, but after taking a bite of food, he slowly spoke:
"Do you feel wronged eating at our En family's house?"
Wen Wen naturally sensed the displeasure in the other person's tone, but since she had a get-out-of-jail-free card, she wasn't afraid of anything.
"Cousin, I just feel that some people don't deserve to sit down and eat with us." He glanced at Bai Qingzhi as he spoke.
Having lost her memory, Bai Qingzhi had already reverted to her timid and cowardly nature. Since arriving here, she felt no sense of belonging whatsoever. So, upon hearing her words, Bai Qingzhi's expression slowly turned dejected.
Lowering her eyes, Bai Qingzhi gently bit her lower lip.
Her expression was noticed by both Eun-yeon and Eun-cheol.
Enzhe suddenly felt a surge of anger, but the old butler stood behind him, constantly reminding him not to pay too much attention to Bai Qingzhi.
But En Yan had no such concerns at all. Upon hearing Wen Wen's words, he stood up from his chair with a snap and casually threw his chopsticks at Wen Wen's face.
"You're not welcome in our home, get out!" En Yan shouted through gritted teeth.
