This nanny was a scheming person. However, it was currently a troubled period and Su Yan did not have the time to care about the nanny’s thoughts. She only took a few more glances before giving up.
After breakfast, Su Yan went to the small piece of land in the backyard. This nanny who had some small thoughts originally wanted to follow Su Yan, but she was scared off by Su Yan’s gaze. At this moment, she was standing in the hall feeling indignant.
The small garden was clearly much older than the one in his dreams, not to mention that the china roses beside it were lifeless, making it look even more desolate and dilapidated.
Su Yan squatted down and placed one hand on the flowers. She sighed slightly. It was not as beautiful as the oleanders.
In the middle of the garden was a small pavilion. Su Yan paused for a moment, she did not remember seeing a pavilion in her dreams.
The pavilion was built later.
“Miss, what are you looking at?” Butler Wu appeared out of nowhere and stood behind Su Yan.
Su Yan was not surprised. When she was looking at the flowers, she saw Uncle Wu peeping at her from a corner for a long time.
Perhaps the house’s helpers were all very curious about this lady who had only joined the family halfway? That was why they were all interested in her?
Although that was what she thought, it did not mean that Su Yan would not think too much about it. Su Yan had long known about the instability within the Yun family, but she did not expect that even the butler who had followed Old Master Yun for decades had problems.
“When was this pavilion built?” As she spoke, Su Yan pointed at the china roses on the other side and said deliberately, “Why did you change it to china roses over there? I remember that when I was young, the oleanders were planted there.”
As expected, after hearing Su Yan’s words, the butler’s expression stiffened for a moment even though he controlled it very well. “The pavilion was built twelve years ago, and the china roses were also planted during that period. When the Second Master was around, he loved this garden the most and would often bring Miss over to play. However, when the Second Master died and Miss went missing, the Old Master wanted to change the garden so that he wouldn’t be affected by the scenery anymore.”
As Uncle Wu spoke, he actually revealed an emotional look. “I didn’t expect it either. Originally, the oleanders were looking great, who knew that it wouldn’t work when other flowers were planted? Miss, don’t look at how sparse the flowers are blooming this month. It’s already the best.”
Su Yan did not feel as emotional as Uncle Wu. She just looked at the china roses and felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Walking slowly towards the pavilion, Su Yan stood inside the pavilion within a few steps. Just as she was about to say something, she felt that the ground beneath her feet was a little soft. In consideration that Uncle Wu was by her side, Su Yan pretended not to know and walked over to sit on the pavilion’s bench. “I didn’t expect that Daddy is no longer around, even the flowers aren’t growing anymore.”
Su Yan looked a little sad, and Uncle Wu was even more exaggerated. His tears flowed like streams, and he was simply in grief. “Second Master is such a good person. Why did he leave just like that? Miss, your life is also tough. You lost your mother when you were young, and you lost your father after a few years. You also suffered outside. It’s really too…” It was obviously inappropriate to say the word ‘pitiful’ at this time. Therefore, Uncle Wu stopped midway and secretly looked at Su Yan’s reaction.
However, Su Yan did not seem moved at all. She did not even lift her eyes to look at Uncle Wu. The air gradually became quiet and Uncle Wu looked a little awkward.
Su Yan smiled at the right time. “Uncle Wu, if there’s nothing else, you can go back and rest. I’m fine here.”
How could Uncle Wu not understand the meaning behind Su Yan’s words? But Uncle Wu was also worried. Did Su Yan recall the past? How much did she remember? How did she remember? Uncle Wu quickly bid farewell to Su Yan and hid in his room to make a call.
Su Yan waited for Uncle Wu to disappear before stepping on the ground. Because this was Yun Yi’s favorite place when he was alive, ever since Yun Yi died, everyone did not come here often. Hence, although the pavilion was built, it was just a decoration. After so many years, not many people came here.
Su Yan lifted the soft cushion on the ground. Indeed, there was a clear empty spot on the tile beneath the cushion.
There was a small box in the empty space. The small box was smaller than the tile. That was why Su Yan felt that something was wrong.
The moment Su Yan picked up the box, her phone rang again. It was from the same number as the morning.
“Wow, you’re really smart. You actually found Yun Yi’s box. Open the box and take a look before deciding if you want to play this game with me?”
The moment she saw the message, Su Yan felt goosebumps all over her body. There was no one around. Su Yan looked around but did not see any cameras.
So why? How did they know? Who was that person?
After Su Yan’s actions, she received another message on her phone. “Don’t look for me anymore. You won’t be able to find me. You’d better take care of what’s in front of you.”
Su Yan was stunned. She looked at her phone with an obscure expression.
