The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 147 Xie Chujiao Complains

Maybe, this was actually Xie Chujiao's instruction, and Yan Xinning was just a tool.

Jian Yue broke open the sugar cake and meat pie, both of which were filled with chopped fat residue.

Ha ha!

So impatient?

Did she overestimate Xie Chujiao's intelligence? In that case, she wouldn't mind giving her a big gift in return.

When I saw Xie Chujiao again this time, her skin was much darker and rougher than before. I wonder if she noticed it.

Jian Yue only kept the crystal shrimp dumplings and soup dumplings, and shared the other dishes with Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Xia.

After dinner, Jian Yue took Fu Yun and Mu Xiang to go back to Yue's house. At the door, they were stopped by the gatekeeper: "Miss, the lady said that you are now a lady from a wealthy family and it is not appropriate for you to go out and show your face in public."

Jian Yue smiled: "Did your wife tell you that I don't go out to show off, but to learn medicine from my master, the divine doctor."

"This... Madam didn't say." The servant looked conflicted.

Fu Yun shouted: "Back off!"

The servant subconsciously took a few steps back. It was not until Jian Yue and the other two left that the servant regretted and scratched his head: Why did he let them go? The lady had clearly told him not to let the young lady go out.

He didn’t think about it, if Jian Yue wanted to leave, could he stop her?

When the second prince came back from Shangjing, he immediately changed Yan Xinning's house into a spacious and exquisite courtyard - Shuyuxuan. He also gave her several sets of expensive and exquisite headwear, and asked the famous Baixiu Pavilion embroiderer from Yanling Mansion to come to the other courtyard to make her several fashionable and gorgeous dresses.

Butler Song's expression changed in a second, and his attitude towards Yan Xinning changed 180 degrees. He was arrogant at first and then respectful, flattering her. If you didn't know, you would think Yan Xinning was the second prince's wife!

From being looked down upon when she first came to the villa to being honored and favored now, Yan Xinning deeply realized the benefits of having a man's support.

But what she didn't know was that this was exactly how the Second Prince controlled her.

First, let her fall from the clouds, deeply experience the fear of having no one to rely on, being as cheap as grass, but unable to resist, and then he will descend like a god from heaven and become her only salvation. From then on, she will be devoted to him and obey him.

And the fact was just as the Second Prince had expected. Yan Xinning put aside her pride and reserve as a talented woman, and became attentive, gentle and submissive to the Second Prince. She was very different from the Yan Xinning when they first met.

The second prince didn't mind pampering or indulging a woman who was obedient and useful.

The carriage stopped at the back door of the courtyard, and Biyu got off to hand in the visiting card. Xie Chujiao thought she would have to wait for a while, but unexpectedly Yan Xinning came out to greet her with Huangli and Xi Que.

"Mom, how come you have time to come here?" Yan Xinning looked very proud, and it was obvious that she had been living a good life these days.

Xie Chujiao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Ever since you left home, I have been worried that you might not be used to leaving home so suddenly. However, judging from your complexion, I don't have to worry anymore."

Yan Xinning held her arm affectionately and led her inside, unable to help showing off: "Your Highness treats me very well. Whenever he is in another courtyard, he stays in my courtyard. He also responds to my every request and said that he would find an opportunity to mention my status in the future."

Xie Chujiao couldn't help but glance sideways at her, looking at her happy face, a feeling of sweetness and happiness overflowing from her.

Xie Chujiao was very familiar with this feeling, because when she first married Yan Xiuyuan, she also felt like she was soaking in a honey pot every day, with only her husband in her eyes and no room for anything else.

Yan Xinning was like this, obviously she was really moved by the Second Prince. But for Yan Xiuyuan, this was not a good thing.

Xie Chujiao's heart sank.

If there is one person in this world who knows Yan Xinning best, that person must be her.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yan Xinning is talented, kind and gentle, but in fact she is a very selfish, cold-hearted and petty person.

Take the death of Jian Dacheng and his wife for example. She had tried her best to bring her relatives to the capital city, and even used her own private money to buy a small courtyard for her family. Xie Chujiao thought she valued her family very much! In the end, when her eldest brother was imprisoned, she only asked about it symbolically and left it alone.

The death of her parents only earned her a few tears. Then she was busy preparing her dowry, thinking about moving into the second prince's villa as soon as possible. She was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep during those days, not because of her dead parents, but because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to move into the second prince's villa smoothly.

After entering Shuyuxuan, Yan Xinning took Xie Chujiao to the flower hall to sit down and asked Huangli to serve tea and snacks.

The tea is the best Mingqian tea, and the pastries are the ones that can only be eaten in the palace.

"Mother, please try it. This osmanthus crystal cake has the fragrance of osmanthus and is sweet but not greasy. It is especially delicious." Yan Xinning personally picked up a piece for Xie Chujiao with jade chopsticks and placed it on the small plate in front of her.

Xie Chujiao nodded: "If I want to eat, I can get it myself. You don't have to be so polite to your mother." She asked Biyu and Zhihua to bring the gift to Yan Xinning. Yan Xinning happily accepted it.

"Mother……"

"Xinning..."

The two of them spoke at the same time.

Yan Xinning smiled: "Mother, you speak first."

Xie Chujiao's eyes were instantly filled with worry: "Xinning, you don't know how difficult that little bastard is. As soon as he came home, he asked your father if he had given you a shop or land."

Yan Xinning's face darkened: "What did father say?"

"Your father told you the truth, and also said that the shop he gave you was the dowry of that old bitch. That little bitch immediately made a scene and insisted that your father take the shop back. Otherwise, she would go out and spread the news that the second prince's concubine had usurped her mother's dowry."

Yan Xinning's face immediately fell: "She killed my parents, and I haven't even settled the score with her yet, but she's gone wild."

Xie Chujiao sighed, "Who said it wasn't true? On the day she entered the mansion, I had already prepared a yard for her, but she insisted on having your yard. For this reason, your brother and sister were unwilling and broke into the yard to argue with her, and she hung them on a tree and beat them severely."

Speaking of the sad part, Xie Chujiao couldn't help wiping away tears: "Xinning, she is too powerful! She is so arrogant in the mansion with the support of Dr. Mao, and even your brothers and sisters have to avoid her. She threatened that if I, her stepmother, treat her badly, she will go out and spread the news. Alas! Your father is heartbroken that she has suffered so many years, and he gives in to her in everything. I really can't do anything about her."

Yan Xinning was furious when she heard this. She thought to herself, aren't you very powerful? You clamped down on me and suppressed me everywhere, but in the end you were bullied by a bastard and couldn't even raise your head. You deserve it!

Yan Xinning felt both gloating and angry at Jian Yue's arrogance.

"Mother, we can't let her be so arrogant. If this continues, there will be no place for you and your brothers and sisters in the mansion."

Xie Chujiao nodded and agreed: "Mother thinks so too..."
