As Madam Zhang Yue left Old Lady Zhang's courtyard, she felt unsettled and, with her maid, wandered into the garden. But as soon as she entered, she was startled; the garden's flowers and plants were gone, leaving only a few lonely trees, which appeared particularly desolate.
The Zhang family is a military aristocratic family, and those in the military are practical people, so the Zhang family residence is built with grandeur. Naturally, the Zhang family's garden usually had plenty of flowers and plants; at this time of year, it would be full of vibrant colors. However, since Old Madam fell ill, the manor had become desolate, and the servants were no longer caring for it diligently, so it was inevitable that the flowers and plants would wither. But to be so bare was surprising.
Xiao Bing whispered: "Miss, the Eldest Madam visited the garden a few days ago and found the scene unseemly, so she ordered all the flowers and plants removed."
