In the w.a.n.g family manor, there was a back garden where «spirit plants» are nurtured. These spirit plants does not contain much energy and only served as decorations.The garden was designed and created by the General"s wife to relieve her boredom and would usually tend to it with w.a.n.g Yue. However, after she was called back to her clan a couple of months ago, Butler Sun and w.a.n.g Yue was left to tend with the plants.
This time around, when tending with the plants. w.a.n.g Yue was the expert who guided Butler Sun around. She had been taking care of the garden since she was four with her "mother" that she was already a pseudo-herbologist.
(I don"t know if herbologist is a thing but I think t.i.tle is appropriate.)
"Butler Sun please help me cut the red leaves of the [Goldenpetal Rose], if we don"t cut them off now, the red leaves will start spreading its color and the petals will become contaminated. Oh, you only need to use a sliver of your spirit qi to cut this off. Mother told me that when cutting the leaves, you must be delicate.
"Oh, the [Tigervines]has to be fed with spirit qi before bathing it with blood. The Tigervines is extremely delicate and ferocious, amongst the collection of mother, the Tiervines is one a vicious one so please be careful when you care for it… I"ll just pour the blood myself, I don"t really need spirit qi to do that anyway."
"Big sis Qiqi, please don"t cut the roots of the [Gliding Lily]. It still needs a week before it matures and lightly float up before we can cut its roots. If we do it now, I fear we will be killing the spirit plant…."
This was really the only time when the little miss of the w.a.n.g family become active. Every time she comes to the garden when it is time to care for the plants was the only time she becomes talkative.
There were four people at the back garden. They were w.a.n.g Yue, Butler Sun and two maids who cultivated until the fifth lighting of the qi pillars. Tending to a spirit plant was complicated and there were instructions for each plant one have to memorize in order to care for them.
w.a.n.g Yue had memorized all 23 methods needed to care for the 23 spirit plants that can be found in the garden. She was taught by her foster mother which she was really close to so she took every instruction to heart.
Not only that, she had studied about spirit plants since she was first taught when she was five. She did self-study so her knowledge was pretty vast. Other than the spirit plants that is rarely seen and is really rare, w.a.n.g Yue basically know every plant in the world.
The sun had risen up by now. w.a.n.g Yue"s tending to the plants also finished so they started cleaning up. w.a.n.g Yue was just about to help in cleaning up the items they had use but the two maids spoke up telling her that they could handle it.
w.a.n.g Yue reluctantly abided to their insistence of resting. The two maids knew how hardworking the little miss was. They know how she tends to the Young Master while he was in his "coma" at night and during noon.
Not many know why she had been pus.h.i.+ng herself to take care of the Young Master but they thought that it was brotherly love so they found it adorable. However, adorable as it may be, she had truly been pus.h.i.+ng herself too much.
Three days ago, the Young Master collapsed for unknown reasons. This incident caused a stir in the w.a.n.g family manor. Many were worried about the Young Master especially the little miss.
She was not that close to the current w.a.n.g Ling because the Young Master was trying to do his own things alone by trying not to rely on anyone. Many thought that the Young Master was just trying to independent and didn"t want to become dependent on others.
His actions were commendable when you thing how a man who had just gain his own mind for a month was trying so hard. It was really touching seeing a man who, at one point needed someone to feed him trying to work hard so he could better himself.
w.a.n.g Ling"s att.i.tude made people admire him. However, during this time, w.a.n.g Yue felt lonely because she was getting less time with w.a.n.g Ling. w.a.n.g Yue was one of the people who tended to w.a.n.g Ling longer than anyone else other than Butler Sun.
She had formed some kind of bond w.a.n.g Ling, it was a bond that"s comparable to how a human gets attached to their pets. Not that she considered w.a.n.g Ling a pet, but she did get used to being with him in the past.
Now, the most she could do was call him when it was meal time and hold some minor conversation with him.
She didn"t hate the fact that w.a.n.g Ling was getting better. She wanted to spend some time with him, it wasn"t anything excessive. However, the Young Master was maturing at a fast rate.
It only took him a full month before he learned every essential things a man needs to do in order to live. It was not an exaggeration if the Young Master was called a very talented individual.
He was even kind enough to worry about her, and frequently asks her if she has any problems. But because her circ.u.mstances where she distance herself from the main family children, w.a.n.g Yue could only talk to him for a little while before losing her confidence to speak.
w.a.n.g Yue at some point admired w.a.n.g Ling"s att.i.tude and seriousness. How he never do anything half-hearted was something admirable. He was hard working, kind, serious, and even handsome. In all seriousness, w.a.n.g Ling was actually becoming a role model of for others.
Especially to those maids who were younger than the Young Master.
However, this seriousness turned out to be too much and w.a.n.g Ling collapsed from pus.h.i.+ng his body too much.
w.a.n.g Ling collapsing in all truthfulness was his fault. But w.a.n.g Yue didn"t know that and only know what Physician Mo had said: "He overworked himself too hard." This is what she knows.
w.a.n.g Yue felt that she had never really done anything for w.a.n.g Ling. Although she had taken care of him in the past, it was only because that is one of her duty and way to say her thanks to the w.a.n.g family.
This time, what she was doing was trying to become a proper younger sister for w.a.n.g Ling. She was even considering if in the time when w.a.n.g Ling wakes up, she will start calling him big brother.
Well, that is something she will need to worry about when the time w.a.n.g Ling actually wakes up from his "sleep".
"Butler Sun, I"ll be going to Young… Big Brothers room now. I will replace his covers and administer the medicine Physician Mo told us to give Young… Big Brother."
w.a.n.g Yue said her piece and left for w.a.n.g Ling"s room before Butler Sun could say anything.

Butler Sun and the two maids exchanged looks with one another before sighing. They then turned their gaze back to the little miss who was walking at a slow pace as her legs were still a little short.
As she walked, she was wobbling around and she looked like she would tumble any time soon.
"The Young Miss is working too hard. I fear that she might collapse at this rate… Qiqi, go and order a guard to buy a Green Bark Tea, I hear they are good to put someone into sleep. I fear that we need to use this kind of measure or else the little miss will continue sleeping as little as she could.
"I know she"s worried about the Young Master but what she"s doing is ultimately something bad for her. Sigh, I just wish she doesn"t come to hate us after we make her sleep with the tea."
Butler sun sighed as he thought about w.a.n.g Yue"s actions for the past few days. For three days she had been staying up late so she can give w.a.n.g Ling his medicines and taking care of everything he needed.
The result of taking care of w.a.n.g Ling resulted in her lack of sleep. Although he was also worried for w.a.n.g Ling and wanted to stay by w.a.n.g Ling"s side at all times. He couldn"t do that because w.a.n.g Yue would be doing the same thing like him.
As they say, "if other people can do it, so can I" w.a.n.g Yue would without a doubt do the same thing and stay up all night to care for the weak w.a.n.g Ling.
It was hard enough as it is to convince w.a.n.g Yue to rest, so having another person act as a bad role model to copy would be disastrous. Butler Sun could only keep the situation like this.
Qiqi who was ordered by Butler Sun to get someone and make him buy the tea was just about to leave when she the little miss come das.h.i.+ng towards their direction.
The little miss moved fast. She was so fast that even her little feet looked like it wasn"t touching the ground. While she was running, she was screaming something on top of her lungs.
"Butler Sun!!!"
It was her usual call when something major happened. It was also her call when something happens to w.a.n.g Ling. The three who was in the back garden already knew something was wrong when they heard the little miss"s cute but worried voice.
"What"s the matter Young Miss?"
Butler Sun became worried almost instantly.
"It"s Big Brother, h—he"s not inside his room. He"s not in his room!!!!!"
Her voice was stuttering a little but it was clear and concise. Black streaks formed on Butler Sun"s face when he heard what w.a.n.g Yue had said. Turning around, he ordered Qiqi and the other maid to move immediately and call an order to comb out the whole manor to find the missing w.a.n.g Ling.
"Call everyone and make them comb out the entire manor to search for the Young Master. I don"t know if he woke up and started wandering around the manor but either way, it is bad for him to move around the place. Quickly, make haste and call everyone."
Butler Sun"s already came in really fast. The two maids responded quickly as they were already prepared to leave the instant they heard Butler Sun open his mouth. They moved quickly so they can find the Young Master.
The two maids left and before long, the only two people left in the courtyard was w.a.n.g Yue and Butler Sun.
"I don"t know what happened but don"t worry Young Miss, the Young Master is only inside the manor so there won"t be any danger going to befell him. Let"s wait it out."
Butler Sun sounded calm when he spoke to w.a.n.g Yue. He was the adult here so he can"t very well be showing any sign of anxiety or anything like that.
Even then, w.a.n.g Yue"s face was still showing her emotions. Her face was warped with worry as she started thinking about her big brother"s condition. Soon enough, she couldn"t keep her worry at bay and decided to look for w.a.n.g Ling herself.
"Butler Sun I think I am going to search for the Big Brother myself. Big sis Qiqi should be reaching the guards by now but I think I"ll look for Big Brother myself."
w.a.n.g Yue stood up only to be stopped by Butler Sun.
"Please don"t move around too much Young Miss. I know you are worried but I suggest you stay here for the time being while others search for the Young Master."
Butler Sun can"t have w.a.n.g Yue become any more anxious and stress as she already was. He didn"t want anyone to collapse on his watch anymore.
"Please don"t stop me Butler Sun, I need to look for Big Brother. Right now he is still weak. Like me he doesn"t cultivate spirit qi so his body couldn"t have regenerated too fast. Helping to look around would speed up the process of finding him…."
"Hmm? Is someone missing in the manor?" just as w.a.n.g Yue was talking about finding w.a.n.g Ling, a voice came from the side.
w.a.n.g Ling who was wearing an all-white clothing stood there with a worried look on his face.
w.a.n.g Ling waited for an answer out of Butler Sun and w.a.n.g Yue but they suddenly froze when their gazes fell on him. He took note of their reactions and tried figuring out what was happening, but before he could make any conjectures he heard loud clamors coming from around the manor.
"Did something happen? Did we lose some kind of precious artifact?"
w.a.n.g Ling asked.
Butler Sun recovered his bearings and then sighed before saying.
"Don"t worry about it Young Master, we already found the one we are looking for." With that said, he turned around and said, "I need to talk to the maids about the search, please stay in the garden with Young Miss, I need to take care of something real quick."
With that said, Butler Sun left like the wind he stop the search for the missing Young Master.
w.a.n.g Ling and w.a.n.g Yue was left in the garden. w.a.n.g Ling who was standing there confused finished processing the information he gathered and made the conjecture.
[Oh, so that"s what"s going on.]
