The silence of the Ji family's ancestral house in the early morning was broken by crackling noises from the kitchen.

Ji Youqian was woken up by the noise, picked up a coat and walked down.

"Who is in the kitchen?" Ji Youqian walked down the stairs again and asked while poking her head into the kitchen downstairs.

"Cough—cough—" With a burst of violent coughing, a figure emerged from the kitchen.

Li Qingqing held a spatula in one hand and a spoon in the other. The pink apron she was wearing and her delicate face were covered with black soot. She just appeared in front of Ji Youqian.

Ji Youqian stared at Li Qingqing's appearance for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"What are you doing? Your grandma is still sleeping, don't wake her up." Ji Youqian walked up to her, stroked her messy hair, and helped him take off Xun's unrecognizable apron.

"It's not that I wanted to make breakfast for you on the weekend, but it turned out...it didn't seem to work."

Li Qingqing put down the things in her hands, gagged her mouth, and looked unhappy.

"It's true that the sun is coming out from the west. Come, come, sit here."

As she said that, Ji Youqian patted the seat beside her and asked Li Qingqing to sit down.

"By the way, Mom, I remembered something. I went to see Sister Mu An yesterday." Li Qingqing was busy talking about what she saw and heard yesterday.

Ji Youqian didn't seem to be curious about what Li Qingqing said, picked up the delicate white porcelain cup on the table, took a sip, and nodded slightly at her.

Li Qingqing saw that Ji Youqian seemed not interested in her speech, and continued:

"I also brought Li Fuchen."

Hearing the word "Li Fuchen", Ji Youqian put down the cup in her hand, and looked at Li Qingqing who was busy talking, "Do you know that Sister Mu An was locked up in the attic by Brother Chenxi, so miserable."

After finishing speaking, Li Qingqing showed a sympathetic expression, and her chattering little mouth turned up high.

"You silly boy, why did you take Li Fuchen there? What if your Brother Chenxi finds out?"

Li Qingqing lowered her head under Ji Youqian's accusation.

"Your brother has indeed gone too far, but you have to be careful not to show your feet, or your brother will find out and make you look good."

Li Qingqing seemed to acquiesce to what Ji Youqian said, and immediately put on a smiling face, hugged Ji Youqian and said coquettishly:

"Mom is the best. I will do what I can, and I will definitely not let Brother Chenxi find out."

Ji Youqian really had no choice but to take her daughter, "You little clever ghost."

She scraped her exquisite and small nose with her hands.

I don't know who she looks like, thinking of this, Ji Youqian's heart is stuck in the past...

Su Muan's equally silent morning was also broken by Ji Chenxi.

Unexpectedly, after a few days of silence, Ji Chenxi started to find fault with her again.

Early in the morning, the flimsy door of the attic was slammed by the housekeeper.

Su Mu'an pulled off the quilt and covered his head, trying to escape the irritability in the morning.I don't know whether it's the poor sound insulation effect of the attic or the housekeeper knocking on the door too hard and for too long, but Su Mu'an still didn't escape the series of knocks on the door.

Su Muan gave up the warm blanket, grabbed his messy hair, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and opened the door.

"The sun is drying your butt, and you are still sleeping. The young master ordered you to clean the garden with the servant today."

After waiting for a long time to knock on the door, the butler's tone became eccentric.

"What? Where is he? I'll go down and find him."

Su Mu'an woke up from his drowsiness when he heard the butler's message.Stepping on the slippers on the feet, he walked downstairs.

But the instigator sat comfortably at the dining table drinking porridge, looking so elegant.

Su Mu'an slapped the dining table with his palm and pulled away.

"What do you mean, why should I clean the garden?"

Su Muan's anger had no effect on Ji Chenxi at all, he raised his head slightly, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and said lightly: "Do you still think you are 'Mrs. Ji'? If you don’t support idlers, you have to work if you want to eat.”

After Ji Chenxi finished speaking, he didn't look at Su Muan again, and called the housekeeper instead.

"Let her clean the garden with Mama Li today. If she doesn't do a good job, no one will be allowed to eat." Ji Chenxi looked like the master of the Ji family.

After the butler hurriedly nodded to send Ji Chenxi away, he began to order Su Muan.

"Haven't you heard? Go to work." The butler shouted at Su Mu'an.

It seems that Ji Chenxi had already guessed that Su Muan could not be obedient, so he ordered her to clean with Li Ma.

Using Mama Li to restrain Su Muan, Ji Chenxi was really bad.

Since he couldn't resist, he had no choice but to surrender obediently.It's just how to clean the huge Ji family garden...

After Su Mu'an married into Ji's family, Ji Chenxi and her moved out of the ancestral house and started a family alone.

At that time, the reason why I chose to settle down here was because I fell in love with this huge back garden.The well-carved white jade railings are surrounded by lush green plants, and the marble fragments are paved into curved paths embedded in the green turf.The shrubs groomed by the gardener also thrive in the sun.

In the past, the back garden was undoubtedly a place for leisure and rest for the former "Mrs. Ji", but at this moment, the hygiene of the soil seems so hateful after being entrusted to her.

Looking at the vibrant green in front of him, Su Muan found himself in trouble.

The breezy cheeks looked extraordinarily bleak at this moment.

Su Muan shook his shoulders and began to sweep the fallen leaves.Su Muan found a large broom specially designed for cleaning fallen leaves, and began to sweep from the southwest side.

The heavy sweeper was held in his hand, and after just a few sweeps, Su Muan began to pant heavily.Looking at the hopeless gravel path, I retreated in my heart.

But giving up now would mean hurting Mama Li...Su Muan pouted, cheered herself up, and continued to wave the broom in her hand.

"Take a break." Li Ma took out a glass of water and handed it to Su Muan.

Su Muan took the water, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"Drink slowly." Mama Li looked at the exhausted Su Muan and reminded her intimately.

Mama Li took out her handkerchief and wiped off the sweat beads on Su Muan's forehead.

"It's okay, Mama Li, I'm not tired. I can finish the job by myself, you go and rest." After saying that, Su Mu'an continued to pick up the broom and prepared to continue.

Before he could lift the broom, Mama Li stopped him.Li Ma scanned the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and said:

"You're not tired, you still have a baby in your belly."

Su Muan's heart was warmed by Mama Li's words. Fortunately, there are still people in this world who know that she is pregnant and take care of her like this.As soon as the wind blew, Su Muan's eyes began to burn.

"Then let's do it together, and I will be careful."

Su Muan looked gratefully at Mama Li who cared about her, took the broom in her hand, and the two took turns sweeping the floor.

As night fell, Su Mu'an, who was in the back garden, was gradually shrouded in darkness.

At this moment, Su Mu'an was tired again, finished the last task, and dragged his tired body to prepare to walk to the main hall.

"Wait a minute. It hasn't been cleaned yet!" The servant Xiaoling blocked Su Mu'an's way.

Ever since the news of Su Muan and Ji Chenxi's divorce spread throughout the Ji family, there were always some servants who picked on Su Muan overtly and secretly.Xiao Ling is one of the most excessive.

Su Mu'an simply folded up his sleeves, put his hands on his hips, and put on a fight.

"You said, where was it not cleaned?"

Xiaoling took out the scraps of paper she had prepared in advance, and with a wave of her hand, the tiny scraps of paper were blown everywhere by the wind.

"Look, isn't it all here?"

Xiaoling stopped what she was doing, folded her hands in front of her chest, and raised her chin high.

After Su Mu'an saw the fruits of her hard work being ruined, she became angry. Just as she was about to explode, she thought of the child in her belly. The doctor warned her not to be overly emotional.

Su Muan took deep breaths over and over to suppress his anger.

"Yes, I just didn't clean it up, you can tell Ji Chenxi."

After finishing speaking, he pushed away the person in front of him, and left the back garden under Xiao Ling's glaring gaze.

And everything that happened just now was seen by Ji Chenxi who was standing in the corner to inspect Su Muan's work.

Ji Chenxi raised her pretty eyebrows, touched the stubble on her chin with both hands and disappeared into the night.

After returning to the attic, Su Mu'an collapsed on the bed, his whole body was sore and weak, and his stomach was growling.

At this moment, the door of the attic was opened, and Su Muan sat up and found that it was Mama Li.

"It's past the time to eat. I thought you must be hungry, so I left some dishes for you." Li Ma took out the meals from the lunch box while speaking.

"It's not easy for me to stay longer, you can eat slowly by yourself."

Su Muan was still under surveillance, and Mama Li came to see her secretly.

After bidding farewell to Mama Li, Su Mu'an started to gobble it up, stuffing her cheeks to the brim, and inhaled crazily after she hadn't eaten much all day.

While eating, Su Muan felt a vibration from under the mattress.

Su Muan swallowed the food in his mouth and began to rummage on the bed.

Finally, he found the source of the sound - the cell phone Li Fuchen gave him.

It was his name that was flashing on it.

"Hello?" Su Muan covered the receiver of the phone and lowered his voice.

An eager greeting came from the other end of the phone, asking about Su Mu'an.

Su Mu'an finally found someone to confide in, and let out all the bitterness in his heart.

From cleaning the garden to skipping dinner, from the cold eyes of servants to Ji Chenxi's embarrassment, Su Mu'an told Li Fuchen everything.

After Su Muan finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

"Fu Chen, are you still listening?"

"Mu An, I will try my best to rescue you." Li Fuchen on the other end of the phone hung up the phone after saying the last sentence.
