The moon falling to the ground

Xie Chujiao hugged Yan Xiuyuan's arm and pleaded bitterly: "Husband, husband, calm down. It really has nothing to do with Chen'er. You can't wrongly accuse Chen'er."

Yan Xiuyuan forcibly pulled her off his body and angrily scolded: "Do you think I'm a fool? Without the master's instruction, which servant would dare to be so bold? Spoiling a child is like killing him, don't you understand this principle?"

"Husband, even if it was Chen'er who did it, he is still young, can't you give him a chance to repent?"

Yan Xiuyuan laughed in anger, and for the first time he looked at his wife seriously: "He can get married at the age of fifteen, but he is still young at the age of eleven? Is this how you usually raise them?"

Xie Chujiao choked up.

"Biyu, Ruyi, take Madam back to Jinxiu Garden to rest."

Biyu and Ruyi looked at Xie Chujiao, hesitating and not moving.

Yan Xiuyuan sneered: "Madam has managed the backyard well, and my words are no longer effective."

Xie Chujiao was so shocked that she didn't even bother to cry. She hurriedly said, "Biyu, Ruyi, didn't you hear what the master said? Come and help me."

Biyu and Ruyi hurried over to support Xie Chujiao.

Yan Xiuyuan snorted coldly and took the whip handed to him by Yan Wu.

Xie Chujiao knew very well that she could not stop Yan Xiuyuan today, and she felt a pain in her heart: "Husband, we only have this one son, please be gentle and don't hurt his bones." But in her heart, she hated Jian Yue to the core.

All the suffering her son had endured was caused by that little bitch. If she had obediently accepted her son's punishment, she would at most have made a fool of herself. For a poor country girl, what's wrong with making a fool of herself? It wouldn't cost her any more meat. But her precious son had to suffer real physical pain.

"Mom, don't you care about me anymore?" Seeing Xie Chujiao was leaving, Yan Tianchen panicked. Without his mother's protection, he would be in big trouble.

Xie Chujiao was about to collapse when she heard this, and looked at Yan Xiuyuan sadly. Unfortunately, Yan Xiuyuan had his back to her at that time, and Xie Chujiao's weakness was like showing it to a blind man.

Snapped!

"Ah! Mother, help!" Yan Tianchen screamed.

Xie Chujiao felt a pain in her heart, rolled her eyes and fainted.

Biyu and Ruyi exclaimed.

"Madam, Madam has fainted."

"Master, the lady has fainted."

"Carry him back and call a doctor." Yan Xiuyuan threw a harsh sentence at him, and his men did not stop beating Yan Tianchen, making him scream continuously.

Xie Chujiao, who was pretending to be faint, felt a chill in her heart.

This had never happened before. In the past, whenever she said she felt uncomfortable, Yan Xiuyuan would get nervous and call a doctor in a hurry. But today, he was indifferent.

Xie Chujiao felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Yan Xinning's knees hurt from kneeling, but she didn't dare to get up.

She knelt down and apologized on her own initiative. How could she stand up on her own without her father saying anything?

She also felt that her father was dissatisfied with her. Although he didn't say it clearly, his attitude was cold. Just like now, she knelt for a long time, but her father seemed to not see her. It was obvious that he was angry with her.

Ever since that bitch followed me to the capital, bad things have happened one after another, all to my disadvantage. Was my decision wrong?

Yan Xinning began to waver in her plan.

"Master, master, something bad has happened. Madam fell when she was returning to the room, and her old injury has relapsed." Biyu came back and said in panic.

There were only five more lashes left. Yan Xiuyuan stopped and turned to look at Biyu. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Biyu's heart, oppressing her to the point where she couldn't breathe.

Biyu didn't dare to look up, feeling anxious and worried: Could it be that the master saw something?

"Biyu, look up." Yan Xiuyuan's voice was inexpressible. Biyu was terrified. She raised her head hesitantly and called out, "Master."

"Why does your wife always break her leg when she gets into trouble? How do you serve her?"

"Ah? Master..." Biyu was suddenly panicked.

Why did the master ask this? Did he know something?

"Isn't your wife unconscious? How can an unconscious person break her leg by herself?"

"Husband, Madam woke up when she returned to Jinxiu Garden. Madam was too sad and didn't pay attention to her feet, so she fell."

As expected of a maid trained by Xie Chujiao, she was only flustered for a moment, but soon regained her composure and handled the situation with ease.

"If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, go call the court doctor. I'm not a doctor, so it's no use for me to come." Yan Xiuyuan raised the whip and continued to add to the five unfinished lashes.

Yan Tianchen was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream. He had never been punished like this before, and his skin was thin and tender, so blood soon seeped out of his back.

After beating him with twenty lashes, Yan Xiuyuan threw away the whip and said, "Send him back to the yard and let the court doctor see him." Then he turned and left.

From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Yan Xinning.

Yan Xinning bit her lower lip tightly, hatred surging in her heart.

What she didn't know was that Yan Xiuyuan had found the drug-soaked clothing, and all the evidence pointed to her. Yan Xiuyuan didn't ask anyone to continue the investigation.

Xin Ning is the only daughter of him and Zhen Zhen, and he is willing to give her a chance to repent and reform. However, he is very disappointed that her shadow can be seen everywhere in the things happening in the Jian family.

Yan Xinning didn't know that Yan Xiuyuan was cleaning up her mess behind her back. She only knew that her father was rude to her because of a trivial matter and had no regard for the father-daughter relationship at all.

As expected, if the child is not a biological one, then it won’t work. Yan Xinning felt even more that it was right to make plans for herself as soon as possible.

Butler Yan appeared at Yue's house with a few servants.

As expected, the rich and powerful have good eyes and ears. Yan Xiuyuan knew about it just two or three days after Doctor Mao moved into Yue's house.

Butler Yan brought one thousand taels of silver, four pieces of cloth, some supplements, and several boxes of cakes, all as apology to Jian Yue.

"Miss Jian, the person who made the poisoned clothes has been caught. She was a maid in the laundry room. She did something wrong years ago and was punished by the young lady. She held a grudge and gave Miss Jian the clothes. She thought the clothes were for the young lady, so she drugged them. As a result, Miss Jian was accidentally injured. The maid has been beaten to death. Please accept these silver, cloth and other supplements."

Jian Yue sneered: "It sounds like a joke that a maid working in a large mansion can't tell the difference between the clothes worn by a young lady and those worn by commoners. When has a young lady who lives in luxury ever worn rough cotton cloth that is not as good-looking as a maid's clothes?"

Butler Yan's face felt hot.

This Miss Jane's mouth is really... not at all forgiving.

"But..." Jian Yue changed the subject, "I knew this would be the result, so I'm not disappointed. Thank you for your hard work, Steward Yan, for making this special trip! Please thank the Lord of the Mansion on my behalf." After saying that, Jian Yue asked Mu Xiang to give Steward Yan a red envelope. There were five taels of silver in it. The servants who followed him received five hundred coins each.

Even Butler Yan, who was criticized in the face, had to admit that this woman should not be underestimated.

She clearly expressed her dissatisfaction and said that she had no choice but to...
