The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 144: Foot-rubbing Master and Jewelry Lady

As he was talking, Fu Yun put down the two men and their swords.

The hemp ropes hurt Yan Tianchen and his sister. As soon as Biyu took the rags out of their mouths, they burst into tears. They cried and rushed to Xie Chujiao.

Xie Chujiao was so distressed that she rushed over to hug her children and cried out of breath. If you didn't know, you would think that the three of them had suffered a great injustice!

The couple had never suffered such a crime before, and Yan Xiuyuan felt very distressed. He was about to say a few words of comfort when he heard Jian Yue say faintly: "The perpetrators are so wronged, so should I, the victim, go to the street and cry, so that everyone knows how wronged I am."

Yan Xiuyuan: ...

The pain in my heart suddenly disappeared.

"Why are you crying? You still have the nerve to cry after doing something wrong? Where did you get the swords? Come here and tell the truth." Yan Xiuyuan immediately put on a serious face.

Gah!

The crying of the mother and her two children suddenly stopped.

Yan Tianchen felt even more aggrieved and yelled at Yan Xiuyuan: "Dad, you don't love me anymore. You favor a bastard. I hate you!"

Yan Xiuyuan's face darkened: "Asshole! This is your own sister. If you continue to talk nonsense, you will have to kneel down in the ancestral hall and reflect on your actions."

Yan Tianchen also argued with Yan Xiuyuan, crying and retorting: "I don't have such a poor sister, who is she?"

Yan Xiuyuan was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit him. Yan Tianchen screamed and ran away: "I don't want such a biased father. I'm going to find my eldest sister."

Xie Chujiao hugged Yan Xiuyuan's arm and begged bitterly: "Husband, please don't argue with Chen'er. He feels aggrieved, so he can just vent it out."

Yan Xiuyuan put down his hand dejectedly and scolded: "It's all because of you. Look at what you've done to him."

Yan Lingshan glared at Jian Yue hatefully behind Xie Chujiao, and it was obvious that she also held a grudge against Jian Yue.

"Husband, I'll send Shan'er back to wash up first. Yue girl, don't be angry, we are a family, and we will get along well in the future. Don't worry, although I am your stepmother, I will never let you suffer any injustice."

Listen, how beautifully it sounds!

Jian Yue smiled with a fake smile: "I hope my stepmother will do what she said and not be two-faced and make me speechless."

Xie Chujiao's smile was stiff: "Yue girl, you are joking. My stepmother is not that kind of person."

Ha ha!

Yan Xiuyuan patted Jian Yue on the shoulder and said, "You will understand when you get along with her. Your mother is a gentle and polite person. Okay, let the maid take you to get familiar with the environment of the mansion first, and we will have a family dinner together in the evening. Your father has already found someone to choose a good day, and the day after tomorrow, please invite the clan members to come over so that we can formally meet."

"Where's Yan Xinning? Her name should still be on the family tree, right?"

Yan Xiuyuan paused: "Yue'er, that's your name."

Jian Yue said firmly: "I don't use names that are used dirty by others."

Yan Xiuyuan looked helpless and nodded: "Okay, the day after tomorrow, please ask the clan leader to cross out her name, and your father will give you another name."

"Let's call her Yan Yanyue!" The family tree says Yan Yanyue, but in reality she is still called Jian Yue. Her name in her previous life was Jian Yue, and this Jian has nothing to do with Jian Dacheng's family. She doesn't want to change it, because she's afraid that she will forget even this little thought of her previous life.

Yan was the surname of the original owner's mother. When Yan Xiuyuan heard this name, he was stunned for a moment. The past events buried deep in his memory suddenly surfaced in his mind.

He hadn't thought about his ex-wife for a long time. Even her appearance was blurred in his memory.

Jian Yue didn't disturb him and waited for him to come back to his senses.

Yan Xiuyuan's attitude towards her in the future will depend on how much affection he still has for his ex-wife.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Xiuyuan nodded and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, let's call her Yan Yue!"

Butler Yan came with two carpenters to repair the door. Yan Xiuyuan went over to give a few instructions and left.

Jian Yue felt slightly disappointed. She did not see any nostalgia or sadness for his ex-wife from Yan Xiuyuan's expression.

So, when the mountains and rivers are no longer warm, have those people and things that have gone away turned into dust in the long river of time?

Xiaoqing led Jianyue and the other two around the mansion. As they walked, Xiaoqing introduced the layout of the mansion to Jianyue.

The servants passing by hid far away when they saw Jian Yue, craning their necks to watch the fun.

When passing by a courtyard, there was a sound of smashing, crying and cursing. A group of maids and servants came out of the courtyard, with varying degrees of injuries on their bodies and faces.

Seeing Jian Yue stop, Xiao Qing said awkwardly: "Miss, Ziyunxuan is the young master's courtyard."

Jian Yue stretched her head and saw Biyu's figure. It should be Xie Chujiao who came to comfort her baby son.

Yan Tianchen was heard yelling in the yard: "Drive her out! Drive her out! She doesn't deserve to live here. This is my home, who the hell is she?"

Jian Yue pressed close to the door, searching for Yan Tianchen's shadow. Then, she found him lying on the ground, rubbing his feet and crying.

Jian Yue: ...It’s hard to put it into words.

Baidu, what did a twelve-year-old boy do in ancient times? In three years, he can get married. But he still hasn't given up his hobby of being a sweeper, tut tut!

Jian Yue left decisively.

After passing the garden, they passed by Yan Lingshan's yard. There was no crying in her yard. Several maids carried a few exquisitely carved boxes on trays into the Coral Garden.

Jian Yue pointed at the backs of several maids and asked Xiao Qing: "What are they holding in their hands?"

Xiao Qing pursed her lips and said, "When the Second Miss is unhappy, she can be comforted by some jewelry and she will stop crying and laugh."

Jian Yue:...Haha!

In the evening, Jian Yue took Mu Xiang to the flower hall for dinner. Yan Xiuyuan and Xie Chujiao were already sitting in the main seats.

The maids filed in and served the dishes. Yan Tianchen and his sister had not arrived yet.

"Father." Jian Yue bowed to Yan Xiuyuan. Then, under Xie Chujiao's earnest gaze...she sat down.

Xie Chujiao's face darkened.

Unruly little bastard.

Yan Xiuyuan frowned: "Yue'er, why don't you call me mother? Why don't you bow to me?"

Jian Yue said seriously: "I have never spent a single day with my stepmother, so it is hard for me to accept it emotionally. I hope my father will give me some time to adjust."

Yan Xiuyuan choked.

What a vengeful little girl. She returned what he said in the afternoon to him.

Yan Xiuyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took out a banknote and gave it to her: "Father doesn't know what you like, so I'll give you some money. Go buy something you like."

"Thank you, father." Jian Yue took the banknote.

If she hadn't seen the maid delivering jewelry to Coral Garden in the afternoon, Jian Yue would have thought that five hundred taels of silver notes were not a small amount. But now, she felt that Yan Xiuyuan's gift was a bit shabby.

Even if Jian Yue didn't see the inside of the jewelry sent to Coral Garden, she could tell from the exquisitely shaped boxes that the jewelry inside must be worth a lot of money. At least a thousand taels. Moreover, this was just the first time she came across it by chance.

What's not to like about jewelry...
