The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 28 Digging pits and laying mines

There was a lot of information in the words, and the onlookers had a lot of imagination. They all looked at Qian with strange eyes.

Look at the poor little girl, she doesn't look like her mother at all. Maybe they are not biological mother and daughter!

Uh!

This is a bit unusual, I really want to dig deeper.

Qian was panting heavily. The two women held her down tightly, making her unable to move. She argued: "I didn't know you were lost, you are a good thief..."

"When Huamei brought the medicine home, didn't she tell you that she kicked me out of the carriage?" Jian Yue interrupted Qian's words with a suspicious look on her face, "Mom, today is our first day in the city, and this is the first time we met Huamei. Why did she deliberately target me? She knew we just arrived today, but she just threw me on the street without worrying that I would get lost. What if I was kidnapped by a beggar or couldn't find my way back? Isn't she afraid of someone getting killed? Bringing trouble to her young lady? She was sent by Miss Yan Xinning."

All the information that should be revealed has been revealed, and as for how others imagine it, it has nothing to do with her.

Yan Xinning?

Is it the Yan Xinning they know?

The onlookers were confused and shocked.

Miss Yan Xinning, the daughter of the mansion owner, is a prominent figure in Yanling Mansion. She is extremely beautiful, well-educated, gentle and kind, and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a rare talent in Nanchang State.

I heard that she goes to the slums every year to help the poor, donate clothes and other things, and is a female Bodhisattva in the hearts of the lower-class people.

As fans of Miss Yan Xinning, they would not allow the goddess in their minds to have even the slightest stain.

Zheng, a young married woman in the alley, was excited and asked uncertainly: "You, are you talking about the daughter of the mansion owner?" When she asked this, her eyes were fixed on Jian Yue, and something was wrong. It was as if she would fight with Jian Yue if she said anything bad about Yan Xinning.

Jian Yue noticed her strangeness and said calmly: "Yes! Miss Yan Xinning, the daughter of the mansion owner, lived in my house for nine years. The reason why we were able to come to the capital city was because Miss Yan Xinning bought the house for us. She said she wanted to thank our Jian family for raising us."

"Jian Zhaodi!" Qian roared like a lion.

Jian Yue was so frightened that she trembled and quickly hid behind Granny Liu: "Granny, did I say something wrong?"

"No, no, you are an honest child." Granny Liu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she consoled him, then sighed, "So your family is the home of Miss Xinning's adoptive mother. Miss Xinning is really a loving and righteous woman. In order to repay her kindness in raising you, she even brought her adoptive mother and her whole family to the capital, and even bought a house for you."

Although there weren't many spacious houses, Yanling Prefecture was prosperous and wealthy, and the land and houses were very expensive. A small courtyard like the Jian family's would cost at least 1,500 taels.

A poor country person would never be able to earn 1,500 taels in his entire lifetime.

The young wife Zheng was very proud: "Miss Xinning is beautiful and kind-hearted. Everyone who sees her would praise her for her kindness. She is a role model for us girls, and we should all learn from her."

Preliminary identification: a bootlicker.

Jian Yue looked sad: "I really don't understand. When Miss Xinning was in our house, I was her maid. I don't think I have done anything wrong to her. Why did she let the maid treat me like this? Oh! Maybe Huamei took the initiative to target me, but I don't know her! This is the first time we met today!" Jian Yue looked distressed and confused.

Zheng was unhappy and glared at Jian Yue: "It was definitely not Miss Xinning who ordered this. Miss Xinning is not that kind of person."

Jian Yue nodded quickly: "Ms. Xinning is the daughter of a wealthy family. I don't think she would do such a shameful thing. It must be Huamei who acted on her own initiative. It must be. Miss Xinning is a woman of love and loyalty. She would never do such an ungrateful thing."

Zheng nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "That's right, that's right, no one can slander Miss Xinning." After agreeing, she felt something was wrong.

"Mom, I've made it clear, you won't hit me again, right?" She dug pits and laid mines, and as to when they would explode, it all depended on her ability to stir up the situation.

Qian's furious face couldn't be turned around for a moment.

What a bastard! How dare she? She set a trap for Xin Ning, thinking she couldn't hear it?

"Aunts, please let my mother go! She already knows the truth and won't beat me anymore. Oh! If anyone should be blamed, it should be Huamei. How could she hide it from me? What if something happens to me..."

"Okay, okay, let me go, sisters! It's not Jian... Zhaodi's fault, I wrongly blamed her." Qian interrupted Jian Yue. If she continued to talk nonsense, who knows what she would say next?

The two women immediately let her go, and one of them said in a consoling tone: "That's right! Girls are grown up, you can't just beat them. If there is anything, you must understand it clearly before making a conclusion. Don't just accuse the child."

Qian's face was frozen, and she tried to force a smile, but couldn't.

What kind of godly neighbors are these? They are so wide-ranging, are they from the sea? Hateful!

She moved her stiff and numb arms and said stiffly: "The child is ignorant and made a fool of himself in front of everyone. I will visit you another day. It's getting late, everyone should go home and cook!" After that, she turned and walked into the yard.

The servant who had watched everything from beginning to end turned around and picked up the medicine bowl under the eaves: "Madam, the medicine is cold and ready."

Qian came into the room with a feather duster: "Bring it in!" She felt numbness in her right arm and felt very uncomfortable. She pinched and rubbed it with her left hand, thinking that it was just scratched by the two women.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, thank you, aunt, sisters-in-law, you are all good people." Jian Yue bowed to thank the neighbors and gave each of them a good person card.

Everyone likes to hear nice words. Jian Yue is ugly but sweet-mouthed, which makes the neighbors happy. Moreover, the new neighbors are the adoptive mother of the mansion master's daughter. There are only benefits and no harm in being on good terms with them. Even if you don't flatter them, you can't offend them.

"You are a very polite child. Come in quickly!"

The neighbors exchanged a few polite words and then returned to their own yards, each with their own thoughts.

Jian Yue raised the corners of her mouth and walked into the yard in a good mood.

Jian Xiaohe stood at the door of the study, looking at Jian Yue angrily.

Since she moved into this courtyard, she has consciously paid attention to her image. In the future, she will look for a husband in the capital city, so she can't be like Jian Zhaodi, who acts like a crazy woman all day long, biting whoever she catches.

People in the city are well-mannered and would never like such a vulgar woman. Compared with Jian Zhaodi, she seems more gentle and sensible.

The more Jian Xiaohe thought about it, the more she felt...
