The housekeeper was the first to notice her and respectfully put down his work to approach her, asking, "Eldest Miss, you're back. Are you looking for Madam? She's pruning the flowers in the garden."
Pruning flowers!
Her fiancé had been stolen, yet Jiang Chenyue still had the mood to prune flowers!
Chu Xi was so angry her nose almost went crooked. She forced a strained smile on her bright face and hurriedly said, "Hmm, I'll go find mom."
She walked briskly to the garden, where Jiang Chenyue, wearing a gardening apron, was carefully tending to an expensive orchid.
The orchids smelled faintly sweet, with each leaf a lush green, and one bud was swelling, gorgeously standing in the secluded valley.
Jiang Chenyue's pale fingers held small scissors, trimming away the withered parts with such focus as if she was working on something very significant.
Chu Xi unconsciously slowed her hurried pace as she approached within three steps, not daring to disturb her any further.
