The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 174: Buried in the Snow, the Thrush Soldier

Yan Xiuyuan sighed deeply: "You are so impatient, are you trying to tell others that neither you nor I can tolerate a daughter who is stranded in the countryside?"

Xie Chujiao's mind moved, and she hurriedly said: "Master, I don't want to harm her. It's just that she is unruly, her words and deeds are vulgar, and I want to teach her a lesson, so that she can be calm and behave like a lady."

Yan Xiuyuan sneered, his eyes seemed to be able to see into Xie Chujiao's heart: "Ah Jiao, I don't care what you think, anyway, I won't allow you to touch her. She is a disciple of the Divine Doctor. Not only does she practice medicine with the Divine Doctor, she also follows the Divine Doctor to make wine. In the future, if I find a good husband, she will be a great help in my career."

Xie Chujiao shook her head, disagreeing with Yan Xiuyuan's words: "Husband, I'm not trying to throw cold water on you, Yue girl has no sense of belonging to this family, and she is not close to you at all. Instead of trying to borrow her power, you might as well find Xinning to be reliable."

Yan Xiuyuan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

In fact, he wanted to borrow the strength of both of them. Isn't raising a daughter to serve the family? Although Yan Xinning is not his biological daughter, he spent a lot of money and effort on her in order to raise her. He didn't want the resources spent on them to be wasted.

"Dad, Mom, it's bad, my brother is buried in the snow." Yan Lingshan's panicked voice came from outside the door.

Yan Xiuyuan and Xie Chujiao were shocked when they heard this. Xie Chujiao was weak, and in a hurry she stood up suddenly, and immediately felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

Yan Xiuyuan helped her up and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

He walked out quickly and asked anxiously: "What happened? How did your brother get buried in the snow? Who did it?"

Yan Lingshan's eyes flickered, not daring to look Yan Xiuyuan in the eye, and she said angrily: "It was Jian Zhaodi who did it. I saw with my own eyes that she knocked my brother down, threw him into the snow, and buried him in the snow."

Yan Xiuyuan looked at her sternly: "That's your elder sister, where is your upbringing?"

Yan Lingshan was frightened and lowered her head in trepidation.

"Where is it? Take me there!"

By the time Yan Xiuyuan found the snow pile where Yan Tianchen was buried, Jian Yue and Mu Xiang had already left the Mansion through the back door.

When Yan Tianchen was dug out of the snow pile, he was frozen stiff.

Two guards were also buried in the snow.

All three men were tied up hand and foot and buried in the snow.

Yan Xiuyuan hurriedly asked the kitchen to boil ginger soup and carried Yan Tianchen into the warm room. Two guards wrapped him in a blanket and carried him into the kitchen to warm himself by the fire.

After all the trouble, the three of them recovered. Yan Xiuyuan asked the reason, and Yan Tianchen was evasive, insisting that Jian Yue disliked him and was looking for a chance to take revenge on him.

Although Yan Xiuyuan didn't like Jian Yue's strong personality and being too straightforward, he probably understood her temperament. She wasn't the type to provoke others. He called the two guards over for questioning.

The two guards' lips turned pale and their faces were listless. They confessed everything honestly.

Yan Tianchen asked them to catch Jian Yue and bury her in the snow. As soon as the two approached Jian Yue, Jian Yue sprinkled a handful of powder on them. The two immediately felt weak and lost their ability to attack.

Yan Tianchen wanted to run when he saw the situation was not good, but he slipped and fell, and was caught by Jian Yue, who tied them up with Mu Xiang and buried them in the snow.

Yan Xiuyuan's face turned pale, and he yelled at Xie Chujiao: "Look at the children you raised, what have they become?" Then, he pointed the gun at Yan Tianchen again, "That's your elder sister, you can't disrespect her or hate her in the future, do you understand?"

Thinking of the whips that hit him, Yan Tianchen was afraid and didn't dare to talk back to Yan Xiuyuan. He said gloomily, "Son knows."

There was deep hatred in Xie Chujiao's eyes.

Not allowed to hate her?

That's impossible. As long as I seize the opportunity, I have to find a way to get rid of her.

That little bastard was like a sword hanging over her head, making her unable to sleep or eat.

It's snowing again.

The falling snowflakes are like the purest elves in the world, bringing beauty and disaster to all living things.

In this unusually cold winter, if you walk slowly on the road, you will freeze. The streets are deserted, and everywhere is a glaring white.

On New Year's Eve, all the shops were closed. When Jian Yue and Mu Xiang returned to Yue's house, they were almost frozen.

Yun Zhonghe heard the noise and came out. He was very surprised to see the two people: "Didn't you go to have a reunion dinner? Why are you back?"

Jian Yue smiled bitterly: "Master should have predicted that I won't be able to have the reunion dinner today, right?"

Yun Zhonghe shook his head: "I won't tell fortunes during the New Year, so as not to affect my mood."

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and make some more delicious food so we can have a rich and happy New Year."

There is no disappointment without expectation. Jian Yue did not expect the original owner's affection, so whether it was Xie Chujiao's attitude or Yan Xiuyuan's attitude, it had little impact on her. She quickly put aside the unhappiness in her heart and thought about adding a few new dishes.

Many people had a bad New Year this year, such as Yan Xinning who was thrown into the other courtyard.

The second prince returned to the capital. The only people in the courtyard were his concubines and maids.

Ever since she saw the second prince and Huamei making love last time, Yan Xinning was so angry that she vomited blood. She was hit hard and had been depressed for a while. She fell in love with drinking. She drank alone and forgot all her troubles when she was drunk.

Yan Xinning doesn't act crazy when she's drunk. Instead, she just covers her head and falls asleep, sometimes sleeping for a whole day and night.

After hearing that the second prince had returned to the capital, she suddenly became energetic, with a strange look in her eyes.

"Did your highness take the thrush away?"

Huang Li was afraid that answering too late would irritate her master, so she hurriedly said, "The Second Prince did not take a woman with him when he left."

"Good! That's great!" Yan Xinning couldn't hide her excitement, "Huang Li, go and do something."

Huang Li leaned forward to listen to Yan Xinning's instructions, and hesitated: "Liang Yuan, if the second prince comes back to investigate..."

Yan Xinning glared, her face gloomy: "If you do it secretly, who would know it was us who did it?"

Huangli didn't dare to refute and agreed while biting her lower lip.

Although Huamei was favored by the Second Prince for a few days, she was, after all, a dispensable concubine. Therefore, she had a hard time in the other courtyard whenever the Second Prince was away.

As the blizzard approached, the cold-fearing Huamei had to drink a bowl of ginger soup every day to keep warm. With her lowly status, she was not qualified to live in a courtyard with a warm room. It was good enough to have a charcoal basin in the house for heating.

That day she had her period and had unbearable abdominal pain, so she asked the maid who served her to go to the kitchen to get a bowl of brown sugar ginger water.

The maid brought it quickly.

Huamei was a little surprised how this time it went so smoothly. She would always be criticized when she went to the kitchen to ask for ginger soup. But she didn't care about the doubts in her heart because her stomach hurt too much. She hurriedly drank the brown sugar ginger water in one gulp while it was still hot...
