Chapter 151 Chunxiu, take advantage of the situation
But secretly complained: These two children's upbringing is not very good. If they are not corrected in time, these two children will be raised in the wrong way.
The reappearance of Jian Yue is eye-catching.
She was wearing a pink and purple dress, simple and elegant, with an oval face and big watery eyes that looked like they contained thousands of stars. She didn't look like a country girl at all, but a lady from a wealthy family who had been raised in seclusion.
Xie Chujiao was unable to take care of herself, so she asked Yan Xinning to come and take care of the tribe members.
The Yan clan members were no strangers to Yan Xinning. After all, she had been the daughter of the mansion master for five years. Now that her lies had been exposed, her status had risen instead of falling, and no one dared to look down on her. She was still chatting and laughing among the female relatives, and she was at ease.
"Sister Yue, you are here. Come, let me introduce you, this is..." Yan Xinning said with a smile on her face, before Jian Yue turned her head and walked aside.
Yan Xinning's smile froze. She was very embarrassed. She bit her lower lip tightly, looked at Jian Yue's back, and lowered her head sadly.
Huang Li hurriedly tried to comfort her: "Liang Yuan, don't be sad. You are of noble status, why should you give face to those worthless things?"
Mu Xiang retorted: "If you are valuable, go sell it in the building! With your face and status, I will definitely give you a good price."
All the female relatives had dull faces.
Where did this maid come from? Why is she so vicious?
Huangli was so angry that he fell backwards and pointed at Muxiang: "You, you..."
Muxiang had already walked away with Jianyue.
Jian Yue quietly gave Mu Xiang a thumbs up. Mu Xiang was so pleased with the compliment that her eyes curved and she looked very proud.
Qiu on the side frowned.
As expected of a child of the family, he is the kind of person who doesn’t even want to put on a show.
There was a sneer on Jian Yue's lips.
The biological daughter is included in the family tree, but it is the turn of a goddaughter who is not related to the family at all to introduce her?
Logically speaking, Xie Chujiao should personally bring Jian Yue to recognize her relatives. Even if Xie Chujiao couldn't get away, she should let the most capable Madam Liang act as the introducer. But today, Xie Chujiao was so angry that she didn't even want to do this superficial work.
She failed to ruin Jian Yue, and was counterattacked by Jian Yue instead, ruining the reputation of her two children. How could she not hate her?
As an expert at house fighting, it would be foolish of her to fail to react to the strangeness of her children and herself.
When Jian Yue discovered that there was something wrong with the incense, she never thought of settling the matter peacefully.
No matter how she guards, Xie Chujiao or Yan Xinning will cause trouble. In this case, let's do it together!
She didn't care whether the family tree could be entered smoothly or not. She didn't feel a sense of belonging to this family anyway.
The Yan clan had already given their little affection to the fake Yan Xinning, so how could they have any extra affection for her? Besides, there was no affection between relatives, so how could they expect strangers to take care of her?
In her previous life, ever since her parents chose her younger brother and sent her away to study medicine, she gradually got used to loneliness.
Traveling alone in life is actually fun. Moreover, although she has no relatives in this life, she still has two masters who sincerely teach her and guide her in the direction of life.
On the road to growth, she did not overcome difficulties alone.
Jian Yue, Fu Yun and Mu Xiang found a corner and stood there, waiting for the ancestral hall to open.
The women of the Yan family whispered to the cold and distant Jian Yue.
From the way she dressed and Xie Chujiao's indifference to her, the female relatives had already realized that this real daughter who was living outside was not as favored by the mistress as the fake daughter.
In a big house, an unfavored child, regardless of whether he or she is a boy or a girl, would have a hard time. This is especially true for the relationship between a stepmother and a stepdaughter. The female family members could already foresee how miserable Jian Yue's life would be.
Some people gloated over the misfortune, while others cast sympathetic glances. Jian Yue pretended not to see it.
As long as you are strong enough, you will never lack favoring eyes.
The auspicious time has arrived.
The ancestral hall was opened at the order of the Yan clan leader.
The ancestral hall of the Yan clan is very large and magnificent, giving people a solemn and oppressive feeling. It is densely packed with thousands of tablets.
Daughters of the Yan clan can enter the ancestral hall, but can only stand three meters away from the tablet. The clan leader asked for the family tree, took out a special brush, turned to the page of Yan Xiuyuan's family, crossed out Yan Xinning's name, and re-wrote Yan Yanyue's name.
Then, after Yan Xiuyuan's eldest cousin Yan Xiuliang read out the clan rules, Jian Yue kowtowed three times and nine times to thank the ancestors for accepting her as their ancestor.
When the banquet started, Xie Chujiao, who was yawning all the time, could only reluctantly accompany a table of elderly female relatives, while the rest were left to Yan Xinning to entertain.
Yan Xinning showed off in front of the Yan clan members again, feeling secretly proud of herself.
So what if she is a real daughter? She is not favored by the mistress of the house and is not even as good as a blade of grass.
No one paid any attention to Jian Yue, and she prepared to return to her own yard.
Just as they were halfway there, a little maidservant who was unfamiliar to them came over to Jian Yue and bowed: "Miss, the Second Prince invites you to come over for a chat."
Jian Yue was startled: "The Second Prince has come to the palace, where is he?"
The little maid replied respectfully: "In the pavilion over the small bridge. The second prince said it was about your mother and your maternal grandparents."
"Oh..." Jian Yue was very interested and looked at the little maid in front of her. "What's your name? Which courtyard are you from?"
"My name is Chunxiu, and I am in charge of tea in the master's study. Today, because the young lady is going to the family tree, too many people came, and there are not enough people in charge of each place, so Madam has transferred people from each courtyard to use them."
Jian Yue smiled with an ambiguous meaning: "Lead the way!"
Because there are few masters in the mansion, there are many empty rooms in the West Garden. If Jian Yue did not have the memories of the original owner's previous life, she really could not immediately determine that there was something wrong with this little maid.
The maid led the way and explained to Jian Yue: "The Second Prince is afraid that being alone with the young lady will lead to gossip, so he wants to find a quiet place with fewer people to talk. The Second Prince said that the young lady doesn't need to worry, and her servants can be there to watch over her."
The path became more and more remote as we walked along it. There were wild weeds on both sides of the path, some of which were not even taller than our knees.
"Miss, the pavilion in front is it. I won't go over there." Chunxiu stepped aside and pointed to the pavilion not far away.
There was indeed a person standing in the pavilion, and his figure really looked like the second prince.
Jian Yue took out a tael of silver and stuffed it into Chunxiu's hand, then patted her on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Use this little money to buy some candy to sweeten your mouth."
Chunxiu held the silver in her hand and smiled faintly as she thanked him: "Thank you for the reward, Miss."
Jian Yue walked forward and Fu Yun followed.
Chunxiu wanted to leave, but Muxiang blocked her way: "Miss Chunxiu, don't be impatient. Wait until the girl finishes speaking, and then we can go together."
Chunxiu looked at Muxiang, a strange smile appeared on her lips, and she suddenly raised her hand. Then... she fell down with a look of horror.
Mu Xiang pinched her waist with both hands...
