The moon falling to the ground

But in his heart he cursed Yan Xinning harshly.

Little bitch! She actually did such a big thing behind her back. She didn't even inform her beforehand. The little bitch was increasingly looking down on her as the mistress of the house.

The Song County government office was also very lively.

Jian Dacheng saw that he couldn't hide the fact that he was selling his daughter, so he simply admitted it. The reason was that there were five people in the family, four of whom had lost their ability to work and needed medical treatment. The eldest daughter was a neglectful person, so he had the idea of ​​selling his daughter for medical treatment.

Although the current emperor encourages people to have children and opposes child abuse, there is no explicit prohibition in the law against selling children. Therefore, the Jian family's selling of their daughter alone cannot really punish them.

Finally, Magistrate He charged them with harassing civilians and intentionally blackmailing them, and sentenced Jian Dacheng and his son to ten strokes of the cane each, while Qian, a woman, was sentenced to five strokes of the cane as a warning to others.

Unexpectedly, when Qian heard that he was being beaten with a stick again, she was so angry that she pointed at He Zhixian and cursed him. She called He Zhixian a corrupt official who did not serve the people and was a running dog of the powerful.

This was the first time that County Magistrate He was scolded since he became an official. He was stunned by the scolding.

Jian Dacheng and his son were also stunned for a moment. However, Jian Dacheng reacted quickly, rushed over to cover Qian's mouth, and hurriedly explained to Magistrate He: "Please forgive me, my wife is not thinking clearly, she may be crazy and talking nonsense, please don't be angry with her."

Ha ha!

Magistrate He sneered and slammed the gavel: "Jian Qian has disrespected the court and insulted the imperial officials. He shall be slapped thirty times."

Qian shuddered, as if she had suddenly woken up, and screamed in fear: "No! Sir, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Two sturdy women came in from outside the hall and held Qian without explanation. A yamen runner holding a bamboo stick about a foot long came over and hit Qian's face. Qian couldn't break free and screamed in agony.

Jian Dacheng and his son were dragged down to be beaten with a stick. Soon, the wails of the father and son joined Qian's wails in a chorus.

The department manager personally delivered the bow and arrow that Jian Yue had customized.

The bow was a good one, made of the best hazelwood, the best beef tendon, and the arrowhead made of the hardest steel bamboo.

The department manager prepared two hundred bamboo arrows for Jian Yue and Fu Yun respectively.

They both tried the newly-made bow and arrow, and found the strength was just right, and Jian Yue and Fu Yun were very satisfied. From then on, they had one more task: to spend an hour every day practicing archery.

Jian Yue was busy like a top.

The autumn harvest season has arrived.

Liu Da led the tenant farmers on the farm to store fifty acres of soybeans and fifty acres of sorghum into the warehouse.

Jian Yue took the land back from the tenants.

The reason was that Jian Yue asked to plant winter wheat, and the tenants were afraid of having no harvest and delaying the spring plowing next year, so they were very hesitant.

Although Jian Yue made the fertilizer, it had just been spread on the ground and had no effect yet. The tenants were unsure and advised Jian Yue not to take such a risk.

Jian Yue understood the tenants' feelings. They were afraid of poverty and did not dare to take risks. But no one could stop her determination to plant winter wheat. Instead of complaining and hesitating, it would be better for her to be the boss and decide what to plant. So, the tenants became long-term workers, and Jian Yue hired them. In addition to wages, she would also give them grain according to the harvest.

As they received monthly wages and had good benefits, the tenants readily agreed and quickly signed employment contracts with Jian Yue.

Jian Yue selected all the high-quality wheat seeds that the storekeeper had helped collect, and picked out the ones with the fullest and largest grains to plant separately. When the seeds bloom next year, she will conduct hybrid experiments to select high-yield wheat that is drought-resistant, disease-resistant, and insect-resistant.

In addition, Jian Yue planted several kinds of medicinal herbs on the hill.

Atractylodes, Polygonatum, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Viola yedoensis, Taraxacum, and Plantain.

Jian Yue believes that the coming year will be a year of harvest.

Qian lost four teeth. The remaining teeth were loose, and she couldn't chew even slightly hard food. Moreover, because her face was so swollen that she couldn't open her mouth, Qian couldn't eat for five or six days, and she almost starved to death.

The three of them lay in bed and began their resting life where they could only lie on their stomachs.

Her body was in pain and itchy, but she couldn't move. Qian was so angry that she kept cursing every day, and no one knew what she was saying.

Jian Dacheng and his son were getting more and more angry. Jian Dacheng couldn't help but throw things when he thought of his family's miserable state. Jian Huaian pounded the bed when he thought of not being able to study for the imperial examination.

Once he wanted to read a book, and Mrs. You helped him get one, but he couldn't read a word and tore the book to pieces in anger.

The low pressure at home is suffocating.

Three of the four members of the family were disabled. They either cursed or blamed each other, and there was no peace for a single day. All of this was caused by Jian Yue. Jian Xiaohe hated Jian Yue to the extreme.

Yan Xiuyuan hardened his heart and refused to ask Dr. Mao to treat Yan Xinning. The second prince weighed the pros and cons and did not want to waste his favor for a woman of little value. So, Yan Xinning and Huamei suffered for seven days.

The two were tortured to the point of being emaciated and on the verge of death.

Yan Xinning hated everyone. She hated Yan Xiuyuan and Xie Chujiao for not really caring about her, hated the Second Prince for not hiring a miracle doctor for her, and hated her brothers and sisters for not visiting her. Of course, she hated Jian Yue the most. It was Jian Yue who caused her to suffer a torture worse than death, and it was Jian Yue's existence that destroyed her beautiful life.

Damn Jane Yue!

The second prince came to visit Yan Xinning with a bunch of supplements. Yan Xinning's eyes were gloomy, with grievance and resentment in them.

The second prince said with a distressed look on his face: "Xinning, I'm sorry for making you suffer! I went to ask Doctor Mao for help, but he hid himself and refused to see me, so I couldn't get you the antidote, and you suffered for so many days. Xinning, when I think of your suffering, my heart feels like it's being cut by a knife. Just hit me! I'm incompetent and can't even protect the woman I love." As he spoke, he grabbed Yan Xinning's hand and slapped it in his face.

Most of the resentment in Yan Xinning's heart dissipated in an instant.

Doctor Mao has a weird temper and he also sides with that bitch Jian Zhaodi, so it's understandable that the Second Prince can't get the antidote.

Yan Xinning pulled her hand back with all her strength, her expression softened, tears appeared in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "I don't blame you, I'm just upset that I couldn't help you, and I almost lost my life. I failed your expectations, hit me now!"

She put her face in front of the Second Prince, who gently pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "Silly girl, I feel sorry for you, so how could I bear to hit you? Stop being silly. It doesn't matter if you stumble this time, we will try to take you down next time."

With deep affection in his eyes, he gently caressed Yan Xinning's face. Yan Xinning felt her heart melt. She shyly met his gaze, and in his bright eyes...
