The moon falling to the ground
Chapter 71 Two Old Hands
Jian Huaian walked out of the county government office with a gloomy face.
Jian Xiaohe caught up with Jian Huaian from behind, with an anxious look on his face: "Brother, what should we do? If our parents go to jail, our family's reputation will be ruined."
Jian Huaian hesitated for a moment and said, "Go ask Miss Xinning for help."
The two of them also hired a carriage and headed towards the mansion.
In the mansion, Yan Xinning was sitting at the table, and the maid Bailing was trimming her nails. Xi Que was standing behind her with a fan, fanning her.
The maid Huang Li opened the pearl curtain and came in: "Miss, it's done."
Yan Xinning's tense nerves immediately relaxed: "Did you get the medicine back?"
Huangli took out a paper bag and said, "It's back, and the person who handled it has been dealt with."
Yan Xinning waved her hand: "Put the medicine away, it will be needed in the future."
This colorless and odorless poison was not cheap and cost her a lot of money.
"Has Butler Yan come back? Huamei goes to check. If he comes back, invite him here first."
"Yes." Huamei agreed and went out immediately.
As soon as Butler Yan arrived at the door, he was stopped by Huamei who was waiting at the door: "Butler Yan, Miss asks you to come over."
Butler Yan originally wanted to go see the mansion master first, but after hearing this, he paused and followed Huamei.
After seeing Yan Xinning, Butler Yan couldn't help but glance at her, then lowered his head.
Yan Xinning was very sensitive and always felt that there was something else behind Butler Yan's look.
"Butler Yan, how are the Jian family's affairs handled?" Yan Xinning asked.
Steward Yan briefly recounted the situation in court, and concluded: "This is no longer a simple case of exorcism. The incense and candles were found to contain drugs, and Taoist Qingyun confessed that Master Jian and his wife intentionally drove Jian Yue crazy. Taoist Qingyun died in court, as did a suspected yamen runner. There was also the girl who secretly gave Taoist Qingyun the poison, and Miss Jian Yue's identity as a disciple of the divine doctor. Master Jian and his wife cannot escape the blame."
Yan Xinning frowned slightly, a little unhappy: "So Butler Yan didn't bring the person out?"
Steward Yan bent his waist and said, "Miss, this case has caused too much noise. If I force you to bring someone back, it will affect the reputation of the Lord of the Mansion. I dare not make the decision, so I came back to ask the Lord of the Mansion for instructions."
Yan Xinning snorted coldly: "What's wrong with Uncle Jian and Aunt Jian teaching their own daughter a lesson? Even if they beat their own daughter to death, no one would say anything. Besides, Jian Zhaodi has no respect for her elders and is disobedient and unfilial. As parents, isn't it their duty to teach her a lesson?"
Should Butler Yan say something unfavorable, but he felt that his young lady was a little too involved, and this was not something a rich lady should get involved in. But he was not suitable to say such things.
Butler Yan lowered his head and remained silent.
Yan Xinning suddenly felt a little annoyed. She took a sip of the herbal tea and waved her hand: "Butler Yan, go and get busy first!"
After Butler Yan left, Yan Xinning pushed Bailing's hand away, stood up and walked around the room, thinking about what to do about this matter.
At this time, another maidservant, Xi Que, came in and reported: "Miss, the Jian family brothers and sisters want to see you at the back door."
Yan Xinning knew what the brother and sister were here for without having to guess. She told Xi Que: "Go and tell them to go back and wait patiently. Their parents will be back tomorrow at the latest."
She turned around and told Huamei: "Tell Master Meng that I will wait for him at Shunxiang Teahouse in half an hour."
After hearing what the magpie said, Jian Huaian and his sister had no choice but to go back first.
When they got home, You and Meng were sitting under the eaves eating melon seeds.
Jian Huaian was furious. He had hoped that they could restrain Jian Zhaodi, but in the end, these two losers were just decorations. They looked tall and strong, but they were useless at the critical moment.
Jian Huaian said with a gloomy face: "When I see Miss Yan, I will definitely ask her why she sent the two maids here."
In fact, You Meng and the others had already stood up when they saw the brother and sister come in. Jian Huaian's resentful questioning made them feel very uncomfortable.
How could a country bumpkin be qualified to enjoy their service? Did he really think he was a dish?
Mrs. You smiled with a fake smile: "Master Jian, look at what you said. The young lady sent us here to serve your family. Master Jian, are you dissatisfied with us for eating a few melon seeds? Although we are servants, servants also have time to rest. Usually in the mansion, we have the privilege of drinking tea and eating snacks."
Little guy! I can't cure a poor person like you.
Jian Huaian's face became even uglier.
The implication was that the Jian family could not afford to give them snacks.
Snob!
Jian Huaian was so angry that he felt dizzy.
No! I can't stand up.
Jian Huaian covered his chest and went into his room.
Jian Xiaohe was in a bad mood. Seeing the two maids being so arrogant, she couldn't help but angrily said, "Miss Xinning sent you to serve people, not to enjoy life. You're still eating melon seeds? I don't even have melon seeds to eat. Where did you get the money to buy melon seeds? Did you embezzle the money for buying vegetables?"
This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Old Mrs. You clapped her hands and shouted in grievance: "Oh my! Miss Xiaohe, you are slandering me. I am going to die. We have been servants in the mansion for half our lives and have never taken a single needle or thread from the mansion. We came to your house to work like slaves for you, but we were accused of stealing the money for vegetables. It's so disheartening! It's so disheartening!"
Mrs. Meng also had a look of grief and indignation on her face: "Miss Xiaohe, since you said that, we will not go to buy vegetables from now on. From now on, you should send someone from your family to do the shopping!"
Jian Xiaohe, a girl from the country, was no match for the two old foxes. After a while, she was left speechless and went back to her room crying.
Jian Huaian clenched his fists, veins bulging on his hands.
Just wait! When I step onto the road to success one day, I will definitely trample all of you filthy bastards under my feet.
Jian Yue and Nan Xing returned to Yue's house, where Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe were both there.
Without waiting for Jian Yue to speak, Nan Xing angrily recounted the evil deeds of Taoist Qingyun and the Jian family.
Yun Zhonghe was shocked and angry: "Where in the world are there such parents? Even if they are foster parents, they can't be so vicious."
Doctor Mao was secretly surprised that Jian Yue, at such a young age, could see through such a sophisticated poison at a glance.
Jian Yue never showed her poison skills in front of him. Instead, she studied medicine from him very seriously. However, she had some basic knowledge of ordinary medicine, so she learned faster. Doctor Mao found it very easy to teach.
Doctor Mao asked, "Girl Yue, what are your plans for parents like these?"
Jian Yue: "Masters, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to ruin your health. I will leave the Jian family sooner or later, but the time is not right. Masters, don't worry."
Yun Zhonghe said: "Just be prepared and don't go back, or you will be tricked by them."
"Master, I know what to do."
Jian Yue comforted the two of them with a few words...
