Ruan Qing also saw the two people by the window.
He discovered it when he was looking through the telescope. After all, the two were standing at the end of the garden, a bit farther from his room.
Because the sun was gradually setting, and the end of the garden was close to the east, currently, only that place could still catch the sunlight.
Apart from their father, Yang Wenmin, no one else could make these two stand there obediently.
Ruan Qing had been holding a telescope by the window, watching outside, and naturally, she also saw Yang Wenmin, the current head of the Yang family.
He seemed to be a complex figure.
After all, someone who could make both Yang Chenyan and Yang Chenjin obedient couldn’t be just a simple person.
Maybe he’s the most powerful NPC in this instance.
Due to the fear of being noticed, Ruan Qing didn’t dare to observe Yang Wenmin closely at that time.
He used the telescope to glance at the expressions of Yang Chenjin and Yang Chenyan. Neither of them showed any painful expressions.
No significant change from their usual demeanor.
However, upon closer inspection, both of them carried a hint of annoyance and impatience. Even the usually smiling Yang Chenjin was no exception.
Clearly, they didn’t like staying under the sun.
Ruan Qing carefully observed their reactions and states.
It seemed that basking in the sun wouldn’t cause any harm to the two; it was more like they simply didn’t like the sunlight.
Indeed, as Ruan Qing thought, sunlight wouldn’t harm Yang Chenjin and Yang Chenyan, but it made them feel uncomfortable.
The discomfort was like ants crawling on their bodies.
Not painful, but enough to make them uneasy.
The Yang family members generally disliked the sun; they usually avoided it.
However, saying they were willing to be punished was their own choice. They had nothing to say and could only follow Yang Wenmin’s orders, standing under the sun for an hour.
But the two obviously overestimated their patience; they became impatient after only ten minutes.
That old bastard Yang Wenmin never said they couldn’t remove the flowers in the garden.
The Yang family’s rule was only about not picking the flowers.
But was picking flowers the same as weeding the garden!?
Yang Chenyan felt it wasn’t.
Moreover, couldn’t vegetables also bloom?
It’s just a different variety of flowers.
Moreover, vegetables not only provide sustenance but also offer aesthetic pleasure, making them much more useful than those poisonous flowers.
After standing for more than ten minutes with an impatient expression, Yang Chenyan turned around, ready to return to the villa.
However, as he took the first step, he paused, looking at the recently planted vegetables with a furrowed brow.
Why did they look so wilted?
They seemed almost on the verge of death.
The steward also thought they looked wilted.
Perhaps because it’s not spring anymore; the weather was hot, and the sun was quite intense, not very suitable for growing vegetables.
Due to their withering appearance, the green leaves of the vegetables were drooping to the ground.
Some vegetable stems even bent weakly.
They looked like they were about to die.
Just half an hour ago, when he planted them, they seemed normal; this wilting happened exceptionally fast.
Yang Chenyan crouched down, reaching out to touch the vegetable leaves, not minding the dirt.
However, when he let go, the leaves fell again.
Completely lifeless.
Even the vegetables he bought from the market were much better.
Considering that these vegetable plants were “borrowed” from someone else’s garden, even if they couldn’t survive, they shouldn’t die this quickly.
However, Yang Chenyan had no knowledge about planting, and he didn’t know if this situation was normal.
He looked up at Yang Chenjin, who usually knew everything. “Is this vegetable going to die?”
This question touched on Yang Chenjin’s knowledge blind spot. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke uncertainly, “...Probably.”
With them looking so wilted, it didn’t seem like they would survive.
After Yang Chenjin finished speaking, he looked at the steward standing next to him, who was also being punished.
The steward, who also didn’t have any knowledge about gardening, hesitated and said, “I think so too.”
The herb that could suppress the toxin of the ‘Morning Dawn Flower’ was extremely unpleasant, and it’s not the kind that could be made into soup, making it impossible to drink in one go.
If it’s not steamed with something else, it’s simply impossible to swallow.
After all, even when mixed, it tasted so bad, one could imagine how much worse it was without mixing it with anything else.
And the one who insisted on using fresh vegetables could barely eat a few bites and wouldn’t touch anything else.
Even if he did eat it, he would immediately spit it out.
With six days left until the funeral, it wouldn’t be acceptable if all the vegetables died.
Yang Chenjin also heard about how difficult it was to coax his sister-in-law into taking medicine, and his expression became more serious.
He frowned and hesitated. “Could it be because the sun is too strong?”
Yang Chenyan didn’t know anything about this, and the steward also had no experience in growing vegetables, so the three of them had to call in the gardener who had taken care of the garden before.
There were several gardeners responsible for taking care of the garden, but they were all experts in caring for various precious flowers and had no experience in planting vegetables.
However, theoretically, growing flowers and vegetables should be similar, since they were both plants.
But after a group of people worked hard for half a day, the sun had set, and the vegetables still looked as if they were about to die.
They seemed even more withered.
Yang Chenjin even took out a book on plant cultivation, and everyone in the garden was busy and chaotic.
Even Yang Chenyan was trying to find the reason, completely ignoring the idea of leaving the garden.
The scene carried a hint of strangeness.
As if diligent farmers were farming.
Yang Wenmin fell into silence after seeing this. He had expected his two sons not to obediently stand there being punished.
After all, these two were never that obedient.
But seeing them busy growing vegetables was something he didn’t expect.
It was as if he hadn’t been away for three days, but thirty years.
The children had grown to the point where he didn’t recognize them anymore.
However, his garden couldn’t grow any ordinary vegetables, no matter how hard the two tried, it was just a futile effort.
Yang Wenmin stood on the sixth floor, looking at the two in the garden, and expressionlessly said, “Find out what happened in these three days.”
The bodyguard behind him immediately lowered his head and responded, “Yes.”
The earth is poisonous, vegetables will not be able to take root. Waiting for the meeting between my father and Qing-wing.
