The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 153 The Scent of Gardenia

Jian Yue’s words made her panic, and she subconsciously looked at Huang Li.

Jian Yue followed her gaze and her eyes suddenly turned cold.

Yan Xiuyuan turned to Butler Yan: "Does Chunxiu have any family?"

Steward Yan hurriedly replied: "Yes, sir, her father, mother, and brother are all doing rough work in the mansion."

"All of them were beaten to death."

"No! Master, please spare me, Master, please spare me. I confess. It was Miss Huangli. She was the one who found me, gave me ten taels of silver, and asked me to bring the eldest lady who had just entered the mansion to the pavilion in the West Garden." Chunxiu was so scared that she burst into tears.

I thought I could earn ten taels of silver just by leading the way, but who would have thought that I would be caught and now my whole family’s lives are in danger.

Chunxiu regretted it so much.

"I didn't say that, you are slandering me!" Huang Li was so scared that she shook her hands and denied it flatly.

Yan Xinning frowned: "What nonsense! Huangli has always been by my side and has never left my sight."

"Master, I dare not say anything nonsense. Before the banquet started, Huangli hurriedly found me and gave me a ten-liang silver note. The silver note is still in my purse."

Muxiang went forward and rummaged through her purse, and indeed found a ten-liang silver note in it.

Jian Yue took the banknote and put it under her nose to smell it. She then pulled off Huang Li's purse and smelled it, and said to Yan Xiuyuan: "The scent of the banknote and the purse is the same, both are the scent of gardenia."

Xie Chujiao said: "Even if the scent is the same, it doesn't prove that the banknote was given by Huang Li. Huang Li is not the only one who uses the gardenia scented bag."

Jian Yue: "Then please ask Madam Yan to find another one using gardenia."

Xie Chujiao choked.

Where could she find one? Huang Li was probably the only one in the mansion who liked the scent of gardenia.

Yan Xiuyuan looked at Yan Xinning with dissatisfaction: "Xinning, why?"

Yan Xinning was about to cry: "Father... Godfather, I know nothing about this matter. Maybe there is some misunderstanding."

"Muxiang, slap your face!" Jian Yue suddenly said.

Muxiang immediately walked up to Huangli and slapped him hard with both hands.

The magpie hurriedly stood in front of Yan Xinning, fearing that Muxiang would hurt Yan Xinning.

Yan Xinning glared at Jian Yue fiercely: "How dare you! You can beat my maid just because you want to."

Jian Yue asked Fu Yun to break off a wooden stick. She weighed it in her hand and sneered at Yan Xinning: "What a joke! You shameless people bully me to the point of frowning, and you don't allow me to resist? You hurt a life just to ruin my reputation in front of the Yan clan? You really inherited the vicious heart of the Jian family."

"Muxiang, get out of the way!"

Muxiang immediately stepped aside.

Jian Yue took a wooden stick and hit the oriole.

Huangli was stunned. When she came to her senses, she quickly called for help: "Liangyuan, help me! I am innocent."

Xie Chujiao looked anxious: "Master, you see, Yue girl is too reckless."

Yan Xiuyuan glanced at her and said nothing.

Yan Xinning was highly suspected in today's incident. But she was the concubine of the Second Prince, and even if he had evidence, he could not punish her without the Second Prince's permission. The best way was to let Yue'er beat up her maid to vent her anger. Yue'er probably understood this, so she beat her.

Yan Xiuyuan couldn't help but admire his daughter's intelligence. In a short period of time, she was able to come up with the most advantageous strategy for herself.

No one stepped forward to stop him until Yan Xiuyuan gave the order.

The Yan clan members looked at Jian Yue's extraordinary power and were all shocked by her bravery.

Is he so fierce? He even dared to beat Liang Yuan's maid.

Huang Li was beaten so hard that she had nowhere to hide and held her head and screamed. Later, she accidentally fell to the ground, but Jian Yue still refused to let her go and beat her to death.

"Enough!" Yan Xinning shouted angrily. She pushed away Xi Que who was blocking her way and pointed at Jian Yue and shouted, "Jian Zhaodi! You are going too far."

A figure flashed before her eyes, and with two "pa pa" sounds, five bright red finger marks were left on Yan Xinning's face.

"You, you dare to hit me?" Yan Xinning covered her face with disbelief in her eyes.

Jian Yue took out two pills and shook them in front of her eyes: "This is the truth pill developed by my master. Do you want to give them one and see what they can say?"

Yan Xinning glared at her angrily but dared not say anything.

Huangli panicked and said hurriedly: "It has nothing to do with Liangyuan. Yes, I asked Chunxiu to trick them to come to Xiyuan. This place is desolate and I wanted to scare them. I don't know about Chunzhi's affairs. It was not me."

Yan Xinning's angry expression immediately cracked.

idiot!

Can't you just shut your mouth and refuse to admit it?

As long as Huang Li doesn't admit it, even if Yan Xiuyuan suspects her, he can't do anything to her for the sake of the Second Prince.

But with a stupid teammate like Huang Li, Yan Xinning couldn't hide her ugly act of killing someone in order to frame the real daughter.

The Yan clan members had mixed feelings, and their eyes changed when they looked at Yan Xinning.

I didn't expect that the once noble and cold fake daughter would be such a person. I don't know how her reputation for gentleness and charity came about.

"Father, please take care of this matter! This mansion is so unsafe, I dare not live here anymore. I will come back after you have tidied up the mansion." After saying this, Jian Yue left without looking back.

Yan Xiuyuan looked at Yan Xinning coldly: "Liang Yuan's name has been crossed out from the Yan family tree. If Liang Yuan doesn't have anything important to do in the future, don't come to our house."

Yan Xinning was stunned, then looked at Yan Xiuyuan with a hurt face, choking and saying: "Godfather doesn't believe in his daughter either."

Yan Xiuyuan said coldly: "Liangyuan, be careful with your words. Liangyuan only recognized my wife as her godmother. I have never recognized a goddaughter."

Yan Xinning staggered a few steps, her tearful eyes full of disappointment. She covered her mouth, turned around and ran away.

The banquet ended in a bad mood.

Mu Xiang sat in the carriage with a small bag on her back, still indignant about what had just happened: "Miss, Yan Xinning is clearly the mastermind behind this, so why are we just letting her go? Why don't we let the head of the Yan Mansion punish them?"

Jian Yue shook her head: "She is the second prince's woman, and my father can't punish her. If she ends up in front of the second prince, he will definitely protect her. It's better to beat them up and vent my anger."

But that being said, Jian Yue didn't want to let them go so easily. On the fourth day after she returned to Yue's house, Yan Xinning suddenly found that her appetite was getting better and better, and her desire to eat was getting stronger and stronger. In addition to the fixed three meals a day, she especially liked snacks, especially biscuits and cakes with heavy oil and sweetness.

In just a few days, Yan Xinning gained five or six kilograms. Moreover, she wanted to sleep when she was full, and felt hungry when she woke up.

Yan Xinning thought she was pregnant, and excitedly asked Dr. Sun to come over and check her pulse. But then, her excitement was in vain.

After Imperial Physician Sun left, Yan Xinning was in a bad mood, so she asked the kitchen to make dessert and fried some crispy pork, which she ate with relish dipped in icing sugar.

In the Mansion Master's Mansion, Xie Chujiao...
