Chapter 19 - Harem
Uncle Zhang replied with a smile, “Viburnum flowers are a favorite of the late Mistress. She planted this viburnum tree in front of her room at a very young age. You are her daughter, no wonder you like viburnum flowers so much. It has since been more than 30 years.”
“It’s beautiful.” The viburnum tree in the Mo Family’s bungalow was more beautiful than the one in the Wen’s mansion. Grampy had been taking good care of it since it was her Mother’s favorite.
Uncle Zhang led Wen Xinya into the room. “Young Mistress, please feel free to let me know if you need anything else,” he said.
“Thank you, Uncle Zhang,” said Wen Xinya, thankful.
Uncle Zhang ordered the servants to unpack Wen Xinya’s luggage. “The Wen Family was too much. Young Mistress is back for not more than a week and yet she has so little belongings with a few pieces of jewelry. There isn’t even a piece of representable jewelry.”
Wen Xinya felt warmth in her heart. In her previous life, Uncle Zhang had treated her well too, but she didn’t take it to heart. He returned back to his own village soon after for personal reasons.
Wen Xinya looked around the room. There was a huge bed made of agarwood, its dark wooden surface shining with polish. The natural wood markings and chiseled marks were uneven but beautiful. Mild crack lines extended around the surface, and she could smell the mild fragrance of the agarwood.
