The issue must start with that begonia. After Zhuo Feng decided to bring the begonia to the horticulture class, he took the plant with him the next day.
As soon as that begonia was presented, all the students gathered around it, and all the ridicule they had directed at Zhuo Feng the previous lesson disappeared.
Even i Xiang in the classroom was stunned by that begonia for a mont.
That begonia was pruned very well, each cut was just right, and each snip was clean and decisive. The shape of the potted plant was also very aesthetic, and all the students present couldn’t stop praising it.
Zhuo Feng still rembered the insults i Nian had previously thrown at Bai Juyi, and demanded an apology from i Nian in front of the whole class.
i Nian was not an easy opponent either. He pointed to the begonia and asked Zhuo Feng how he had pruned it and what the benefits of such pruning were. The bonsai was not Zhuo Feng’s work. Naturally, Zhuo Feng couldn’t answer and stood in the classroom, stamring and hesitant.
"Who knew that i Nian would not just let it go, saying that Bai Juyi and his disciples were all the sa, that the Shen Zhou Red Snow was not really cultivated by Bai Juyi; he was nothing but a charlatan, fishing for fa without any real knowledge. Hearing this, Yezi got angry and demanded the daffodil back imdiately. She also decided not to attend the useless horticulture class anymore," Feng Xing explained, realizing that i Nian was very likely related to i Xiang.
Hold on, a relative of i Xiang? That ans she’s also...
"The most infuriating thing was what i Nian said next. Not only did she refuse to return the Shen Zhou Red Snow, but she also declared that she had already destroyed it. You know, Yezi is a person of her word. After winning a prize with that daffodil, she was concerned whether Mr. Bai’s spirit in heaven would mind. When she heard the daffodil was gone, she impulsively started a fight with i Nian," Feng Xing said, arriving at the police station only to find Zhuo Feng already beaten black and blue.
"What? Yezi got beaten up and yet she’s detained for public security reasons? That’s totally unreasonable. Don’t the news say every day that we’re a society ruled by law? To get into a scuffle with a cultivator and co away with just flesh wounds is actually considerate, but Zhuo Feng is her own aunt! How can she let others bully her?
"The battery itself isn’t the most serious part, as the students present all said it was a mutual fight, both starting at the sa ti. But during the fight, Yezi also smashed one of i Nian’s potted plants, two antique flowerpots, plus a pair of heirloom garden scissors said to have a few hundred years of history. Roughly estimated, the damages are said to cost several hundred thousand," Feng Xing heard the news and was dumbfounded; those few items were worth as much as a whole apartnt of theirs.
"Uncle, where does this i Nian live? Let’s go find her," Xiao Xian said, also getting angry. This i Nian was really taking things too far.
Finding i Nian was not difficult. Even after Zhuo Feng got into trouble, i Nian still attended her unfinished horticulture class. She was giving a lecture when Feng Xing and Xiao Xian burst into the classroom.
"What, it’s you again? I’ve said many tis, either pay up or let your wife rot in jail," i Nian said, not even lifting her brow, continuing her pruning, demonstrating basic trimming techniques.
"The three-year-old Dutch cardamom over there has insect pests on its lateral branches. To completely eradicate the pests, trimming alone is not enough," a strange voice sounded near i Nian. This ti she raised her brow slightly, and the rhythm of her scissors slowed down.
"What’s your redy for saving it?" Indeed, the potted plant in i Nian’s hands was infected with pests, and since trimming during the class was mostly done by students, not i Nian, she had brought over the diseased plant.
None of the many students in the room had noticed it, yet a random girl who barged in had pointed it out imdiately.
"To save it, there’s only one way," Xiao Xian picked up the scissors and with a swift movent, snip, cut the cardamom in half.
"Xiao Xian, how could you?" It was over. Feng Xing was utterly miserable. One was like this, the other was too; they hadn’t settled the previous debt and now another one was added.
i Xiang, seeing the cardamom potted plant cut into two, suddenly spoke, "Did you prune that begonia? Tell , why did you cut it like that?"
Seeing that Xiao Xian didn’t respond, i Nian continued, "Okay, I take back my words. Bai Ju seems to have taken two good disciples. I won’t dwell on the previous woman’s matter anymore." i Nian’s generosity was a bit astonishing.
"But it seems you’ve forgotten sothing. The Shen Zhou Red Snow, whether or not it was originally the i Family’s, beca Mr. Bai’s property after Granny i gave it to him. For decades, he tirelessly crossbred and cultivated it, and without his painstaking effort, the world would have lacked a treasure like the Shen Zhou Red Snow, which would be a huge loss for the horticultural world," Xiao Xian finished speaking, and a few students in the classroom couldn’t help but nod along.
"You want the flower? Fine. Tonight at eight, et at i Garden north of the city. Rember, co alone," i Nian replied briskly.
