Catching an adulterer at the beginning, the mistress of the Marquisate went crazy

As soon as Liu Tianshu gave the order, a maid walked towards a distance and soon found Mother Fang who was drinking tea in a corner of the garden.

Mother Fang stayed in a shady place with a small square table in front of her, on which were a teapot and four teacups. She sat in a rocking chair, fanning herself gently with a palm-leaf fan in one hand and slowly drinking tea in the other. She looked indescribably comfortable.

Seeing the old woman coming, Mother Fang stood up with a smile, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"Sister Yuan, how did you find time to come over here? Have a cup of tea to cool down first..."

Sister Yuan did not take the teacup from Fang's mother, and said anxiously, "You still have the mind to drink tea here. Madam just found out your mistake and asked you to go over now."

"Sister Yuan, can you tell me what happened in detail?"

When she heard that something had happened, Mother Fang was shocked and hurriedly fanned Sister Yuan with the palm-leaf fan in her hand.

"There is a patch of flowers in the garden with a lot of dead branches and leaves, and some flowers and plants have grown to the roadside. Madam is over there now, so you'd better come up with an excuse later."

After saying this, Mrs. Yuan no longer paid any attention to the dumbfounded Mother Fang, turned around and walked towards where Liu Tianshu was.

Watching Mrs. Yuan leaving, Mother Fang didn't even have time to put away the teacup on the table. She threw away the palm-leaf fan in her hand and walked towards the most desolate place in the garden.

This garden is her territory. She knows better than anyone which flowers and plants grow most luxuriantly and which ones have problems.

In the past, those masters only wandered around places with the best scenery. Mother Fang never thought that one day Liu Tianshu would suddenly go to the flower field in the corner.

Liu Tianshu just wanted to take a walk in the garden to relax, but when she saw those people setting up the scaffolding, she wanted to take a detour to walk somewhere else.

It was also because Fang's mother was too careless and failed to take care of the entire garden, and she happened to see it.

Mother Fang knew she was wrong, so she walked over and knelt in front of Liu Tianshu.

"Your servant greets Madam..."

"Get up and answer..."

"Thank you ma'am."

Mother Fang stood up from the ground tremblingly, her eyes inadvertently fell on the flowers beside her, and she lowered her head guiltily.

"Mother Fang, you have taken good care of the flowers and plants in the garden in the past few years, so I didn't come to the garden to check. I didn't expect that you only took care of the surface, but there are still many places that you haven't cleaned up in secret."

Having said that, Liu Tianshu's face darkened and her voice became more fierce.

"Mother Fang, there are many people in this world who can take care of flowers and plants. If you don't want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, you can just resign."

"Pfft..."

Mother Fang knelt on the ground again.

"Madam, please forgive me. I know I was wrong and have been busy tidying up the garden these days."

"You'd better keep your word. The Marquis' Mansion will host a banquet in a month. If the guests see this garden, it will embarrass the old lady. She won't be as easy to talk to as I am."

"Thank you ma'am."

Mother Fang knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times before she raised her head.

“Get up, I want a servant who can take care of the courtyard, not a servant who can only kowtow and apologize.

This is your first offense, so I can let it go. I'll give you half a month to clean up the entire garden. If you don't do it well, or if there's anything you do that I'm not satisfied with, I don't mind replacing a gardener for the mansion."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu led everyone towards Wutongju without even looking at Mother Fang who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face.

"Mother Fang..."

Only after Liu Tianshu walked away did a servant dare to approach and look at Mother Fang who was sitting on the ground, and asked cautiously: "Mother Fang, there are many dilapidated places like this garden. Although we can tidy up all the gardens, we need to spend money to buy flower seedlings for the empty spaces..."

My mother had already asked Liu Tianshu for the money to buy new flower seedlings for the garden in the Marquis' Mansion. Originally, she thought that the garden only needed some simple renovations, and these places, which were rarely visited, could be left abandoned without being discovered.

In the past three years, Mother Fang has indeed reaped a lot of benefits from it, and has asked for more and more money for the flower seedlings, but the money she has to spend on those seedlings is very limited.

Naturally, she did the same this year, but she forgot that the old lady was going to hold a grand banquet in a month.

There will surely be many noble ladies and wives coming to participate, and visiting the garden will be an essential activity for them.

When they thought about the ladies who would definitely laugh at them when they came over here, if this got out of the mansion, their mansion would be embarrassed.

The old lady is a person who cares a lot about her reputation, especially since she is currently looking for a marriage for the second young master and wants everything to be perfect.

If she made any mistake in the garden, regardless of whether Liu Tianshu would forgive her, the old lady would be the first to skin her alive.

When she thought of that situation, Mother Fang shuddered, got up from the ground and grabbed the servant beside her.

"Xiao Si'er, go find someone and have them tidy up the entire garden. I'll go out and buy some seedlings."

"Yes!"

It is impossible for Mother Fang to take care of the entire garden by herself. This servant named Xiao Si'er and his companions are Mother Fang's subordinates.

Mother Fang herself is a lazy person, so she is naturally not particularly strict with her subordinates. Otherwise, she would not have allowed this garden, where so few masters came, to become deserted.

After receiving the instructions from Fang's mother, Xiao Si'er immediately went out to find people, and soon she recruited a dozen men and women who were about her age.

In order to take better care of the flowers and plants, the garden not only arranged for servants to fetch water and water the flowers on time, but also arranged for maids to take care of the flowers and plants.

The duty of these servants is to take care of all the flowers and plants in the garden, and they know exactly where in the garden needs care.

After knowing that Liu Tianshu had noticed the flaw in the garden, everyone knew what they should do without Mother Fang assigning any tasks to them.

Seeing all the maids and servants taking action, Mother Fang did not dare to delay and hurried out to order the flower seedlings.

What disappointed Mother Fang was that the store where she usually ordered flower seedlings had closed down.

This was really a case of adding insult to injury. Mother Fang had no choice but to go to another flower shop not far away to order flower seedlings.

Mother Fang had never dealt with this shop before, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was a full range of flowers here, and there were many flowers she needed.

Keeping calculating in her mind what flowers were needed in the garden and how many were needed in total, Mother Fang walked into the flower shop.

Those who can run shops in the capital are all shrewd people. When they see a customer coming, the owner of the flower shop will immediately come to greet him.

"What kind of flowers and plants does this mother want to buy?"

After the steward finished speaking, he smiled and said, "There are many precious flowers and plants in our store. Please come with me..."

As he spoke, the flower shop manager led Mother Fang to the greenhouse in the backyard.

There were more flowers in the flower room. Mother Fang reported the varieties and quantities of flower seedlings that she had thought of long ago, and the owner of the flower shop smiled happily...
