The moon falling to the ground

Since the original owner entered the mansion, Jian Yue thought it was a disguised form of house arrest because the original owner had no freedom in the mansion.

Jian Yue looked for a while and decided to go to the Lord's Mansion tomorrow to take a look.

If you know your enemy and yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

It takes half an hour to take a carriage to the mansion, and it is too late today. Jian Yue turned around and walked back.

Just as she turned around, a handsome, dignified middle-aged official walked out of the government office. If Jian Yue saw him, she would definitely be able to find the shadow of this person in the original owner's memory - the original owner's biological father.

In the limited life of the original owner, she had only seen this man twice. Each time, she saw him from a distance at large banquets. In the last moments of her rebirth, she knew that the man she looked up to and feared was her biological father.

It was already dusk when Jian Yue returned home. Jian Dacheng and his son were helped out and sat under the eaves to cool off.

"Zhao Di." Jian Dacheng took the initiative to greet her.

Jian Yue walked over, looked at him quietly, and waited for his next words.

Jian Dacheng organized his words and tried to make his tone sound gentle: "Zhao Di, you know that my family sold our property in the countryside and came to the capital. We are poor and cannot just sit back and enjoy our savings. So we all have to go out and find work."

Jian Yue raised her eyebrows: "So?"

Jian Dacheng coughed and said, "Your brother still has to continue his studies. As you can see, your mother and I are in poor health. We can't work for the time being. The only ones who can work are Xiaohe and you. Xiaohe can take on embroidery work, and you..."

Jian Dacheng paused and said, "You are very skillful, washing clothes and cooking are no problem for you. We want to ask Miss Yan Xinning to take you in as a maid. Not everyone can enter the mansion, and we are just relying on that little bit of friendship. Miss Yan Xinning will definitely take you in because of our past friendship."

"I heard that the maids in the mansion eat and wear better than the young ladies of ordinary wealthy families. Zhaodi, if you can enter the mansion, it will be considered a blessed place."

"Why me and not Jian Xiaohe? I heard that when wealthy families are looking for maids, they always look for young ones. Jian Xiaohe is pretty and of the right age, so she should be the one to be sold."

"What's the point of selling it?" Jian Dacheng's face darkened. "We'll go to the mansion and sign a working contract. We'll work for three or two years. When your brother passes the imperial examination and our family's financial situation improves, we'll come back."

Jian Yue chuckled: "Dad, I have devoted myself to this family for more than ten years. It is time for your eldest son and your youngest daughter to contribute. Your eldest son can copy books to supplement the family income, and your youngest daughter can also do embroidery work to supplement the family income. My body has been worn out by you, you can't let a sick ghost support your family, right?"

Jian Dacheng was so angry that he slapped the armrest of the chair, and ended up hurting his hand. He grimaced in pain and gasped: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you put the blame on your parents like this?"

Jian Yue sneered: "We'll know if it's a case of putting the blame on someone once we investigate. Why don't we go to the clinic? We don't need to look for anyone else, just find Doctor Qi."

Jian Dacheng's expression changed and he looked at Jian Yue gloomily without saying a word.

"What? Dad doesn't dare?" Jian Yue crossed her arms and stood in front of Jian Dacheng, not hiding her sarcasm. "Dad, can't you wait? Do you want to squeeze out the last of my surplus value? Eating meat and drinking blood is not enough, you want to suck my marrow out of my bones?"

"Jian Zhaodi!" Jian Dacheng roared, but he was obviously not confident enough and did not dare to look Jian Yue in the eye.

"Yan Xinning sent someone to deliver the message, didn't she? Did she even secretly prepare my indenture contract? There are so many well-trained maids in the pawnbroker's shop, but she chose to buy a sick and weak girl like me. This behavior is very suspicious, isn't it? Otherwise, I will go see the Lord of the Mansion and ask his Miss Yan Xinning if she has any unknown hobbies?"

Jian Yue deliberately emphasized the word "unknown".

"You dare!" Jian Dacheng gritted his teeth and stared at Jian Yue with his scarlet eyes, like a man-eating beast.

Jian Yue said calmly, "As long as you dare to do it, I dare to do it. I have said it before, I have nothing, dragging a shabby body, there is nothing I am reluctant to give up."

Jian Dacheng held the handrail tightly with both hands and tried very hard to suppress the rage in his heart.

"Okay, if you don't want to, forget it. We'll find you a place to enjoy yourself. If you don't want to, don't complain that we're biased in the future."

"You are not only biased, but also vicious."

Jian Dacheng choked, feeling upset. He finally understood how Qian felt, being so pissed off by this damn girl.

Jian Yue turned around and went out to cook.

There would be mosquitoes if she ate late, and she didn't want to be bitten by them.

Since arriving in the city, probably because of the presence of a maid, Qian no longer hid rice, flour, meat and eggs.

Jian Yue cooked the meal with the maid, and ate at the same table with the Jian family.

After dinner, she took a quick shower and reviewed the Three Character Classic that she had learned today. She went to bed only after she was sure she had memorized all the words and could write all 20 characters.

There was no mosquito net in her room, but fortunately there was some mosquito repellent incense prepared in advance.

In the lord’s mansion.

Since returning to the mansion, Rong Mama has been feeling weak and lethargic. The mansion master's daughter Yan Xinning asked the mansion doctor to see her, but he couldn't find anything wrong with her. She also invited the famous doctor Qi from Huichun Hall.

After taking the patient's pulse carefully, Doctor Qi concluded that the pulse was normal and there was nothing wrong.

Rong Mama said that she had been pricked by a maid with a long needle. Doctor Qi asked in detail where the needle had been stuck, and Rong Mama pointed out each one.

Doctor Qi also knows the golden needle technique. He smiled and shook his head at the place Rong Mama pointed out: "You can tell from the location of the needles that they were inserted randomly. The places she inserted are not acupuncture points, so they will not cause your current condition. You must be old and frightened."

Rong Mama was very unhappy with what Doctor Qi said. What do you mean I am old? You are older than me, right?

However, she agreed with Dr. Qi that she was frightened. She felt very frightened at the time, and then she felt weak all over and dozed off.

Doctor Qi prescribed a prescription for Rong Mama to calm her nerves. Yan Xinning gave Rong Mama a few days off to let her rest.

Today, Butler Yan returned home and reported the court proceedings to Yan Xinning in detail. He also hinted that the Jian family should not be befriended, and Yan Xinning frowned as she listened.

She tried every means to get the Jian family into the city, in order to train them to help her, not to make trouble for her. She secretly blamed Jian Dacheng and his wife for not doing things properly. They had just come to the city and had affected her reputation.

She also secretly paid attention to Jian Zhaodi mentioned by Butler Yan. Jian Zhaodi mentioned by Butler Yan was not as taciturn and submissive as they said...
