After the beast put on the clothes, he looked cold and heartless again.

The decadent smell in the air could not add a hint of ambiguity to his expression.

“Since you cut it down, plant it again.”

In the past, he would reward Jiang Wu after their passionate love affairs, but this time it was obvious. Even though he had been so ferocious that the study was a mess, he was still angry and sent Jiang Wu to plant trees.

Jiang Wu sincerely felt that she had suffered a great loss by venting her emotions this time.

“My Lady, take a break. My Lord said there is no time limit.”

Jiang Wu’s forehead was already covered with sweat. Due to Chu Ling’s order not to allow anyone to help, no one dared to step forward, but Zhizhi felt sorry for her.

No matter how Chu Ling didn’t care about Jiang Wu, she really hadn’t done any heavy work in all these years, let alone physical work like planting trees.

Jiang Wu was originally a bit angry, so she decided to plant the seedlings herself as a testimony of their love. After the divorce was successful, she would find time to reveal it to Chu Yan to appease her.

But after a few tries, she got tired and discouraged.

What was the point of getting angry? You could only suffer.

Chu Ling said there was no time limit, and Jiang Wu guessed that she just had to finish it before Chu Yan came back. She stopped and planned to take a break as Zhi Zhi said.

Before she turned around, she heard the servants’ greetings: “Your Excellency.”

She quickly tightened her grip on the shovel. Fortunately, Chu Ling almost thought she was being lazy.

But it didn’t matter whether she was lazy or not. She had been digging for so long and there was only a small hole in front of her.

Chu Ling had already walked over. Jiang Wu stopped and whispered, “Greetings, Master.”

She stood there without moving, and for a moment she was unsure whether she should continue.

After a while, a hand appeared in sight.

Chu Ling extended his hand.

At this moment, Jiang Wu wished she had a few more brains to understand what this man meant. After quickly glancing around, she used the simplest way to understand and put her muddy hand on it.

The man pursed his lips, looked at the delicate little hand for a while, and then said, “Shovel.”

Realizing that she had misunderstood, Jiang Wu felt embarrassed and quickly withdrew her hand, then handed over the shovel in her other hand.

When she came to her senses, she was even more horrified. What had she just handed over?

Chu Ling had just come off court and was still wearing his official uniform. The sight of a crane flapping its wings on his scarlet uniform, ready to fly, frightened countless people.

But at this moment, he lifted his sleeves slightly and dug a little deeper into the small hole that Jiang Wu had just dug.

Jiang Wu was so shocked that she was speechless. Admittedly, even though she was doing such rough work, this man was still full of damn nobility, but why did he do this?

Chu Ling was not like Jiang Wu. In no time, he dug a hole of suitable size and placed the peach tree seedling with its roots on it.

Jiang Wu just stared at him stupidly. When she was glanced at by his dark eyes, she quickly got ready for battle. However, she didn’t know what she could do, so she continued to stare at him.

A trace of helplessness flashed in the man’s eyes: “Help me.”

Jiang Wu then walked over to support him and watched him start to fill the soil again.

The shock had slowly subsided, and Jiang Wu felt that he could probably understand it. After all, this was planting trees for Chu Yan, so it was not difficult to understand why Chu Ling wanted to do it himself.

But he shouldn’t have called his own.

Jiang Wu had already started to think about how to deal with Chu Yan in the future and let her know that this was all done by him and Chu Ling.

Then will Chu Yan still be moved?

Jiang Wu even felt a little pleased with this thought.

Until Chu Ling’s voice sounded: “Water it.”

Jiang Wu was stunned, and when she looked up, she met the man’s gaze. In that gaze that seemed to see through everything, all her thoughts were exposed.

She came to her senses and quickly squatted down to pour two spoonfuls of water. When she felt it was almost done, she stopped and looked up. Chu Ling still had that expressionless face: “Not enough, the water needs to be soaked through.”

Jiang Wu had no choice but to continue.

Until Chu Ling was satisfied, he picked up the shovel and went to the next pit.

Jiang Wu was happy and relaxed. If she did it by herself, who knew how long it would take! She followed behind with the bucket in her hand. Somehow, the same two figures flashed through her mind for a moment.

It was the same, they planted trees together, the difference was the woman was standing, she patted the man on the head and said, “Stupid! Water more, make sure it’s soaked.”

The man did not get angry but instead accepted her orders without complaint.

The splitting headache at that moment made Jiang Wu stop and press her temple with one hand.

Where was this memory from?

She thought for a long time before finally remembering. By the way, the peach forest here was planted by Chu Ling and Chu Yan.

She had also met the two of them by chance. She was unaware of the situation at that time and thought that the relationship between the brother and sister was really good.

Yes, besides Chu Yan, who else could make Chu Ling be so humble and ordered around like this? If it weren’t for Chu Yan, how could he know how to plant trees?

After she figured it out, the headache she had just felt disappeared, and she followed behind again.

---

When she came again the next day, she found that there were obvious wet marks on the ground where the trees were planted yesterday.

Jiang Wu originally thought that it was the servants who watered the plants in the morning, but when she asked, she found out that it was Chu Ling who did it.

No wonder he insisted on planting it with her yesterday. This guy wanted to torture her again, but he was not confident in entrusting such an important matter to her, right?

Jiang Wu looked at the water marks under the peach trees in the yard and thought of Chu Ling planting and watering the trees himself. Her mood was unexpectedly calm this time.

To be honest, if she hadn’t been provoked by her son’s words, she wouldn’t have lost her composure like that, that day.

Jiang Wu was no longer at the age where she loved or hated someone to death. It was not that he didn’t feel unwilling, but no matter how narrow-minded she was, she had lived half her life and had actually let it go long ago.

She was just an ordinary person. What she longed for was a stable home, a home that made her happy.

Jiang Wu looked at the peach blossoms she had planted and suddenly wanted to see Mo Yangzhou.

People like Chu Ling could finally find happiness, so of course I could do the same.

---

This time, Jiang Wu still failed to see Mo Yangzhou.

When she arrived, Qingyang Gōngzhǔ was a little embarrassed: “Ah Wu, look at you, you are a step too late. Mr. Mo has been selected by the eldest daughter of the Gao family to sing a song.”

The eldest daughter of the Gao family was also a bit ridiculous, but she didn’t have a very good relationship with Qingyang Gōngzhǔ.

“I’m not afraid of her,” Qingyang Gōngzhǔ continued to explain, “but you know, right? That woman is a lunatic. If you mess with a lunatic, it will be very troublesome in the future, don’t you understand?”

Jiang Wu stared at her and asked sincerely, “Are you still afraid of her?”

Qingyang Gōngzhǔ showed some embarrassment on her face: “It’s not that kind of fear. Alas… it’s mainly because of you!” At this point, she suddenly became confident, “You always say that you and Mo Yangzhou are not that kind of relationship! You say that you can’t restrict his freedom, and you say that you respect his choice. It makes me hesitant. If you say that you will decide on him, then in the future, even if the king of heaven comes to this capital, don’t think of snatching him from me.”

Jiang Wu suddenly felt guilty.
