The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 154 No Hope, No Disappointment

In the Mansion Lord's Mansion, Xie Chujiao was also furious.

Unconsciously, she began to like fried foods and desserts more and more. Her appetite also grew. By the time she realized something was wrong, she had already gained more than ten pounds.

What's even more terrifying is that my skin is getting darker and rougher. Many small pimples pop up on my face from time to time. When the pimples are ripe, they have white heads, like white aphids, which is very disgusting.

Madam Liang gently reminded her to pay attention to her diet, but when faced with bland food, she couldn't eat a single bite. She told herself to eat less, but she couldn't stand the torment of hunger, as if she would die immediately if she didn't eat.

Xie Chujiao was so angry that she punished her personal servants Biyu, Zhihua, as well as the two newly promoted maids Guanqi and Yushu.

All four of them were beaten with ten boards and fined two months' salary.

Famous doctors from Yanling came one after another, and all of them prescribed the same medicine, and all of them advised her to eat in moderation and keep the food as light as possible. But what made Xie Chujiao miserable was that she could not do either of these two things.

Xie Chujiao struggled in dire straits every day. Because her appearance and figure had changed so much, she didn't dare to see Yan Xiuyuan.

Yan Xiuyuan was also ashamed to face his daughter because of what happened on the day the family tree was included.

The servant who killed Chunzhi followed Yan Xinning into the mansion. Yan Xinning did this just to frame Jian Yue and ruin her reputation.

Yan Xiuyuan informed the Second Prince of this matter. The Second Prince just smiled faintly and concluded this terrible case with one sentence: "Xin Ning was kicked out of the Mansion. She couldn't accept it psychologically for a while, so she made a mistake impulsively. After all, Mansion Master Yan has been her father for five years. For the sake of our past relationship, please forgive her this time."

After hearing what the Second Prince said, Yan Xiuyuan was very depressed. Did he not want to forgive? It was his biological daughter who just wanted justice. But obviously, there was no justice for the Second Prince.

The Second Prince probably felt that it was a bit unreasonable to dismiss Jian Yue with just a few words, so he asked someone to bring a set of ordinary headwear and a piece of cloth for Mansion Master Yan to take back as an apology to Jian Yue.

Yan Xiuyuan felt even more depressed.

Would his daughter be interested in such a thing? No, the damage done to his daughter could not be made up by such a thing?

The Second Prince didn't care whether Yan Xiuyuan was comfortable or not. Yan Xiuyuan was not an official in the capital, not in the center of power, and he really didn't have much weight in front of the prince. He was able to assign you a task because he thought highly of you.

The second prince thought so and did so.

Last time he asked Yan Xinning to pass on the message, but Xie Chujiao declined vaguely. This time he simply said it directly and asked Yan Xiuyuan to help the two wealthy businessmen.

Yan Xiuyuan couldn't refuse outright, so he could only say that he would provide appropriate protection, but it must not cross the bottom line of the law.

The Second Prince was very dissatisfied with Yan Xiuyuan's attitude. But he also knew that his biological daughter had just been wronged and did not get a fair result, and she was feeling upset, so it was inappropriate to force it now.

Yan Xiuyuan paid for another gift out of his own pocket and sent it to Jian Yue together with the one for the second prince.

Jian Yue just glanced at these so-called apologies.

She is not short of money now. Even if she is short of money, she will not look down on these worthless so-called apologies.

"Yue'er, I am ashamed that I cannot seek justice for you." Yan Xiuyuan looked guilty. He really felt sorry for his daughter. However, because he had not been with her since she was a child, he suddenly realized that he did not know how to get along with her.

Jian Yue had a calm expression.

She couldn't say she was disappointed with her father because she had never placed any hope on him.

"Father, there is no need to feel guilty. You couldn't even protect my mother, so it's normal that you can't protect a daughter like me." Jian Yue's words made Yan Xiuyuan feel even more ashamed, and he felt upset.

This daughter is very good at poking his lungs.

"Yue'er, the house has been reorganized, many servants have been sold, and a new batch of people have been replaced. When are you going to move back?" Yan Xiuyuan changed the subject.

Jian Yue: "I will go back when I am free. I wonder if your wife has taken back my mother's shop and farm?"

"Well... I've been very busy recently and haven't had time to ask. Wait until I get back..."

"Father, who has my mother's dowry?"

Yan Xiuyuan paused: "It's in Ah Jiao's hands. Most of your mother's dowry is land and shops, and it won't work without someone to take care of them." He explained. After thinking for a while, he was afraid that Jian Yue would misunderstand, "Don't worry, when you get married, your mother's dowry will be given to you."

"I want to take over my mother's dowry now."

Yan Xiuyuan was stunned: "Why? With your father here, no one will embezzle your mother's dowry."

"I don't believe Xie Chujiao."

Yan Xiuyuan sighed: "Yue'er, your stepmother will not treat you harshly. During the days when you were not at home, she bought a lot of good things for your yard. She was also often worried that you were tired, so she asked you to go home and rest more often."

Jian Yue smiled with an ambiguous meaning: "I also believe that she will not treat me harshly. She will only find an opportunity to find me a husband like Wu Wenkai."

Yan Xiuyuan's face was covered with a big red cloth, and he was so ashamed. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Yue'er, it's in the past, don't worry about it. After all, we are a family and we will live together in the future."

Jian Yue's face immediately turned cold: "Father, have you ever thought about what would happen if I'm not that smart, what if Wu Wenkai tricks me into getting married, and his identity is revealed on the day of the wedding, what would I do then?"

Yan Xiuyuan's expression was stiff and he was speechless.

Jian Yue said sarcastically: "If the person being plotted against was Yan Lingshan, would father still be so gentle with her?"

Yan Xiuyuan looked away, not daring to look Jian Yue in the eye.

"Father, only a child who is not loved and protected will always have thorns all over her body, because she is afraid of being hurt."

Yan Xiuyuan left in embarrassment.

A few days later, Xie Chujiao and Yan Xinning came together to ask to see Dr. Mao. Jian Yue didn't even let them in.

The wild sugar cane on the hills around Gejia Village has been harvested. After all, it is wild and limited in quantity. Some of the strong ones are reserved for seeds, and the rest are all made into brown sugar.

After the sugar cane ran out, the Qingshan Sugarcane Workshop temporarily stopped working. Yuan Yi and Village Chief Ge arranged for the workers in the workshop to open up wasteland.

Next year, the mountain will not only be used to grow sugarcane, but also medicinal herbs, so there are too many rocks and weeds that need to be cleared. Fortunately, Yuan Yi and Village Chief Ge are both very helpful, so Jian Yue doesn't have to worry about the land reclamation at all.

When the last batch of brown sugar was shipped, Ji Yun came again. He went straight to Jian Yue and told her the purpose of his visit, hoping that Jian Yue would produce new wine.

Jian Yue refused directly.

"Your Highness should know that brewing wine requires a large amount of grain. The people of Nanchang today have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing. I don't want to use my energy on developing wine for the time being."

Ji Yun raised his eyebrows again:...
