The moon falling to the ground

Yan Xinning gritted her teeth and said with a fake smile: "Yes, since Sister Zhaodi wants to see it, why don't we go to the yard to see it. It's not convenient to open the box here."

"Of course! Aunts and sisters, come in and take a look! Miss Yan is so grateful, how can we alone know about it? We should let more people know about Miss Yan's kindness and spread her good name."

"Jian Zhaodi, Miss Xinning came to visit you in person and brought you so many expensive gifts, but not only are you ungrateful, you're also sarcastic. Where's your upbringing?" Jian Xiaohe stood up for Yan Xinning.

Jian Yue rolled her eyes and said, "I was brought up in the Jian family to endure being beaten and scolded, and to work hard without complaint. Besides teaching me these, didn't mother teach you everything else?"

"Jian Zhaodi, you..." Jian Xiaohe was so angry that his face turned red.

When it comes to talking, Qian is no match for Jian Yue, let alone Jian Xiaohe who still has some dignity.

"Jian Zhaodi, what nonsense are you talking about in front of Miss Xinning? Shut your mouth." Qian glared at Jian Yue fiercely.

"Oh! You two maids have worked so hard. This is for me, right? I'll carry it while you take a rest." Jian Yue pretended not to see Qian's warning and snatched the box from Mrs. Meng's hands without warning.

"The things Miss Yan gave me must be the best. Let everyone see what good things she gave me." Jian Yue quickly opened the box.

Mother Meng was shocked and rushed over to grab it: "Stop! How can you be so impatient to see the gifts without letting the guests in? You really don't know etiquette."

Yan Xinning frowned, disgust flashing in her eyes.

Vulgar, petty, greedy, such a person is not worthy of her help.

Wow!

While the two were fighting, the box somehow opened and all the things inside fell out.

The neighbors immediately stretched their necks.

Mrs. Meng looked at Yan Xinning at a loss.

Jian Yue had already stretched out two fingers to pick up the clothes on the ground, with an exaggerated expression on her face: "Wow! This dress is so bright! Bright red and green, with big flowers printed on it. Our country matchmakers have never worn such good clothes. Miss Yan's taste is unique."

Yan Xinning looked like she was slapped hard in the face. Her pretty face turned red and she glared at Mrs. Meng fiercely: "Waste! You can't even protect a box."

Mrs. Meng shuddered all over.

Others may not know, but she has experienced the power of her own young lady. Don't be fooled by her gentleness and generosity in front of others, she is very vicious behind the scenes!

Jian Yue quickly showed the three colorful clothes to her neighbors. There were only three clothes in the two and a half foot square box.

Jian Yue had a sarcastic look on her face, but said: "Oh! I seem to have opened the wrong box. These don't look like clothes I would wear. They look like clothes my mother would wear at her age. Miss Yan, are these three pieces of clothing for my mother?" She deliberately emphasized the word "three pieces".

Seeing Jian Yue eagerly grabbing the box and opening it, the neighbors couldn't help but despise the country folk for being rude and short-sighted. But when they saw the gaudy dresses in the box, they were stunned for a moment. They couldn't help but look at Yan Xinning.

This?

How could the daughter of the mansion master be given such clothes? Such bright red and green are not suitable for a girl like Jian Zhaodi, and even girls of their age would not wear such patterns. The prostitutes in the red-light district like such patterns.

Whether in the aristocratic circle or in the eyes of ordinary people, the daughter of the mansion master is a fairy-like figure. But the clothes sent today... such taste... such a big box, but only three clothes, made the jealous neighbors speechless.

So they deliberately used a big box to show off! Is the mansion owner really that poor?

There was no fool present, and everyone could see that this was a trick to fool the Jian family. But Yan Xinning was someone they admired and respected, and they could not accept that she was a double-faced person. They would rather believe that the servants were incompetent and withheld the clothes.

Yan Xinning's face was like a palette, turning pale and blue, but she had to follow Jian Yue's words: "Yes, it was given to Aunt Jian. However, there were clearly ten sets of dresses in the box, all with plain patterns, how did it become like this? Aunt Meng, did you take the wrong one?"

Mrs. Meng knelt down quickly and took the blame on herself: "I'm sorry, young lady. It's my fault. These three clothes were originally intended for the maid who cleaned the house. I took the wrong ones in a hurry this morning. I didn't do my job well, please punish me, young lady."

"Did you take the wrong box? Don't blame you. Everyone makes mistakes. You shouldn't have taken the wrong box, right?" Jian Yue suddenly tried to snatch the box from Grandma You's hand.

Although Mrs. You was on guard, Jian Yue still snatched the box away. Jian Yue did not snatch the box away, but pinched the acupuncture points on the back of her hand, causing her to loosen her hand involuntarily.

Yan Xinning's maids Huamei and Huangli wanted to snatch the box from Jian Yue, but Jian Yue shouted, "Did you take the wrong box too? Is Miss Yan afraid of being seen?"

Yan Xinning's face changed, and she had to scold the two maids: "Don't be rude! If Sister Zhaodi wants to see, let her see!" Anyway, the box is filled with jewelry. What can you, a country bumpkin who has never seen jewelry, see?

Jian Yue opened the box and let out a loud "Wow!", the sound so exaggerated that it made the neighbors' eyelids jump.

"Is this pure silver? I heard that hairpins of the same size made of pure silver are lighter, while those made of silver coated with copper or silver coated with iron are heavier. This one is quite heavy. And this hairpin..." Jian Yue picked up the only small jewelry box in the big box and showed the jewelry inside to the neighbors one by one. "This hairpin and this hairpin are quite popular. A few days ago, I saw several old ladies in their fifties and sixties wearing them on the street."

"Oh! There's also a jade bracelet. This thing is not cheap!" Jian Yue picked up the third piece of jewelry. "The mother-in-law who sells vegetables in the market wears one exactly like this one. She said she spent one or two taels of silver!"

Yan Xinning's fingernails even pinched her palms.

Damn it! How could it be such a coincidence? She saw someone else wearing it.

Jian Yue put the jade bracelet back into the jewelry box in disappointment: "These three pieces of jewelry are not for me. Miss Yan is planning to give them to my mother, right?"

Yan Xinning felt that the neighbors' gazes on her were like knives, cutting her face.

It would be better to say that she took the wrong one. She had already pointed out that this was the jewelry worn by the old lady, and if she said it was given to Aunt Jane, Aunt Jane would feel uncomfortable.

Yan Xinning had never been so embarrassed as today. She winked at Huamei. Huamei understood and immediately stood up and said: "I'm sorry, Miss Zhaodi, I took the wrong box. I was going to give these jewelry to my parents, but I was busy these days and packed them in the wrong box. I'm sorry, Miss, I've caused you trouble, please punish me." Huamei said, kneeling in front of Yan Xinning.

Yan Xinning's pretty face is frosty...
