Chu Yihan arrived at the Rose Garden just as Su Ge was already sipping tea in the garden's pavilion.
He lifted his foot, ready to head towards the pavilion, when he suddenly stepped out and realized something was amiss, his gaze sharply turning towards the courtyard.
He saw that the roses which should have been blooming in a contiguous expanse were now missing by half.
A large swath of the flower branches stood bare, not a single rose in sight.
What happened?
His face swiftly darkened, and Chu Yihan instantly turned his gaze towards the maids in the courtyard.
The servants all bowed their heads to avoid his gaze, yet their eyes kept darting towards the little woman drinking tea in the pavilion.
Chu Yihan had intended to directly question these maids.
But the maids' glances caused him to hesitate.
What did it mean, the disappearance of these roses was related to Su Xiaoge?
