The moon falling to the ground

After all, they were his daughter's adoptive parents. No matter how much Yan Xiuyuan disliked this family, he couldn't embarrass them. So, he smiled and said, "I came here incognito, so there's no need to be polite."

Jian Dacheng tactfully stood aside from his son.

Qian and Jian Xiaohe stood beside Jian Yue. Jian Xiaohe asked warmly: "Sister Zhaodi, is there anything I can help you with?"

Jian Yue looked at her, and after just a moment, Jian Xiaohe could no longer stand, looking very weak. She suddenly understood why the Jian family came today.

"There is only Jian Yue here, not your sister Zhaodi. Jian Xiaohe, if you are here on purpose to disgust me, I will not let you in." Jian Yue did not lower her voice deliberately, and everyone present heard it.

"Sister... why are you so fierce? I'm just used to calling you that and I can't change it for the moment." Jian Xiaohe said aggrievedly and glanced at Yan Xiuyuan.

Look! This is the disciple of the miracle doctor, who is rude to his parents and siblings, disrespectful to his elders, and unfriendly to his siblings.

It’s a pity that Yan Xiuyuan didn’t receive Jian Xiaohe’s gaze.

He had only met Jian Dacheng and his wife once, when he took his daughter home. At that time, the couple were respectful and more polite than ordinary villagers. They also taught their daughter to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he was very grateful at that time.

However, today the Jian family gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.

The Jian family should have known that Dr. Mao had changed Jian Yue's name. But they still called Jian Yue by her old country name. I don't know if they were really used to it or if they did it on purpose. Moreover, Jian Yue did not hide her dislike for this family, which was very strange.

Jian Xiaohe was very disappointed when she saw that the Lord of the Mansion did not dislike Jian Yue because of her words.

Jian Yue sneered.

How could a lord of a prefecture not see through this little trick? What a joke.

"Zhao...Yue! Is there any cooking work in the mansion that needs help? Mother will go and give a hand." Qian showed unprecedented patience and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, mother. Master has enough servants at home." Jian Yue said lightly.

A group of people gathered around the shop to watch the fun. Jian Yue didn't want to be laughed at by outsiders, so she had to suppress her disgust and pretend to be nice to Qian.

"Master, Lord of the Mansion, why don't you go inside and have some tea first. I'll stay here and watch for a while." Before he finished speaking, two low-key and luxurious carriages came and stopped on the side of the street.

Yan Xiuyuan saw the guards beside the carriage and hurried over to meet them.

When Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe were wondering, they saw a young man in brocade clothes with narrow eyes and eyebrows get off from the first carriage. The person who got off from the second carriage was Yan Xinning.

Yan Xiuyuan wanted to salute the young man in brocade clothes, but was stopped by him.

Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe both knew this person, the second son of the current emperor, Ji Yunxuan, born to Concubine Rong, who was very favored by the emperor.

After Yan Xinning got off the car, she came over and stood with Ji Yunxuan. Yan Xiuyuan was very dissatisfied with his daughter's outrageous behavior. Even if he was a prince, a lady from the boudoir could not just go out with him. But he couldn't say anything in front of the second prince, and he felt upset.

Ji Yunxuan and Yan Xinning walked over side by side.

"Mr. Mao, congratulations on the opening of your winery." Ji Yunxuan said with a smile and asked the guards who followed him to present gifts.

Ji Yunxuan did not introduce himself, and Doctor Mao did not want to reveal his identity, so he nodded and said, "Sir, you are so thoughtful. Please come in." Then he motioned Nanxing to take the gift.

"Sister Zhaodi." Yan Xinning called Jian Yue sweetly.

Jian Yue pretended not to hear and looked at a man buying wine in front of the shop.

Ji Yunxuan also looked at Jian Yue following Yan Xinning's voice.

She was a very thin little girl, wearing very ordinary fine cotton cloth, with dark yellow skin. I don’t know what Dr. Mao saw in her.

Yan Xinning said a lot of bad things about Jian Yue in front of Ji Yunxuan, so Ji Yunxuan naturally disliked Jian Yue. At this time, seeing Jian Yue's cold and arrogant attitude, and even ignoring the woman he liked, he disliked her even more.

Yan Xinning was delighted when she saw Jian Yue ignored her. The worse Jian Yue's attitude was, the more rude and ignorant she seemed. If she offended the Second Prince, he might help her get rid of her.

Yan Xinning deliberately called Jian Yue by her old name. She knew that Jian Yue hated her old name, so she called her that on purpose to irritate her. It would be best if Jian Yue could not help but curse at her, which would be exactly what she wanted.

But Jian Yue did not play by the rules. Not only did she not respond, she didn't even glance at Yan Xinning.

Yan Xinning lowered her head slightly, looking aggrieved and hurt.

Ji Yunxuan was standing next to her and happened to see her sad face. He couldn't help but look at Jian Yue and said, "Is this Master Mao's disciple? How come he has poor hearing?"

Jian Yue sneered in her heart, blinked and said: "I didn't offend you, why did you curse me to have bad ears?"

Ji Yunxuan said unhappily, "Since you have good hearing, why did you pretend not to hear when Miss Xinning greeted you? As a disciple of a genius doctor, you have very poor manners. You'd better ask a nanny to teach you."

Doctor Mao glared and was about to confront her when he heard Jian Yue say, "When did Miss Xinning greet me? She just called me Sister Zhaodi. I'm not Zhaodi."

Ji Yunxuan's expression froze, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Yan Xinning said aggrievedly: "But in the past in the countryside, Sister Zhaodi was called Zhaodi, right?"

Jian Yue sneered: "Miss Yan also said that it was in the countryside before. But I live in the city now. Master personally gave me the character 'Yue', which was announced at the apprenticeship banquet. Miss Yan was also present at the banquet. How could she be so forgetful? Haha! Being forgetful at such a young age is not a good thing. It is a sign of a serious illness!"

Yan Xinning was so angry that her ladylike image almost collapsed.

Now that the topic has been raised, Jian Yue might as well "poison" them all.

She looked at Jian Dacheng and Qian, and said with a smile: "But it's quite strange. My elder brother, my younger sister, and Miss Yan who used to live in my house, all have normal names. But my previous name was Zhaodi." As she spoke, Jian Yue stared at Jian Dacheng and asked with an ambiguous meaning, "Dad, you used to be a scholar. I don't know who you wanted to disgust by giving me this name?"

Qian subconsciously retorted: "I gave you your name."

"So, who did you want to disgust by giving me this name? Or, I am not your biological child, so the name was given casually."

Jian Dacheng and Qian's expressions changed slightly, and they subconsciously glanced at Yan Xiuyuan.

Yan Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and something flashed through his mind.

Yan Xinning said quickly: "It's my fault, Sister Yue, I called you the wrong name. Don't blame Uncle Jian and Aunt Jian. Aunt Jian once said that you were very weak when you were born, and they were afraid that you wouldn't survive, so they named you Zhaodi. Sister Yue, Uncle Jian and Aunt Jian love you so much, you can't say such things and hurt their hearts."

Jian Yue nodded seriously...
