The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 133: Jian Yue strikes: Complaint (1)

But since she was sent to Jingci Nunnery, this man seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, and she never heard a word from him again.

Yan Xinning was very sad and upset.

She endured her days in loneliness and resentment, hating all those who had wronged her.

Nanny Liang came and brought some daily necessities. She looked down at Yan Xinning and gave her a lecture.

Yan Xinning hated her attitude, and hated her self-righteous preaching even more. What qualifications did an old servant have to preach to her? This old man was indulged by Xie and had forgotten his own identity.

Yan Xinning concealed the resentment in her eyes, pretended to be obedient, and occasionally agreed: "Madame Liang is right, I will pay attention next time."

Madam Liang was very satisfied with Yan Xinning's attitude. She felt that it was enough, and finally concluded: "Miss, please don't be unhappy to hear this. Madam Liang is doing this for your own good."

"Xinning understands." Yan Xinning resisted the urge to roll her eyes and forced a smile: "I know that Mammy is thinking about me wholeheartedly. Mammy has eaten more salt than I have eaten rice, so naturally Mammy is very thorough. Xinning will always remember Mammy's kindness to Xinning."

After hearing Yan Xinning's humble and flattering words, Madam Liang felt very relieved. She raised her chin unconsciously.

Humph! What's the use of being a rich lady? You still have to be humble in front of her.

After showing off in front of Yan Xinning, Madam Liang left with a sense of accomplishment. Yan Xinning threw the cup on the coffee table, her expression twisted and full of hatred.

Wait!

When I enter the prince's palace, there will be a day when you, old bastard, will kneel down and beg for mercy.

The weight of the sandbag increased from one pound on one leg to two pounds, three pounds, four pounds... and one pound was also tied to each arm.

Jian Yue was exhausted every day, and her clothes looked like they had been washed only, but she never complained and always gritted her teeth to persevere.

Ji Yunzhong was deeply touched when he saw how hard she was working.

A delicate little girl should have been raised by her family. But she is different from others. Her father doesn't love her and her mother doesn't care about her. If she wants to live well, she has to work hard on her own. Without an umbrella, she still runs hard in the wind and rain.

Wait until next year, everything will be fine next year.

He thought secretly.

Seven days flew by.

Yan Xinning from Jingci Temple was very excited. She could finally leave this godforsaken place.

The three meals a day were watery soups with little oil or salt, which made her want to vomit. The bed was too hard and covered with dirty hay, which made sleeping very uncomfortable.

She hasn't had a good night's sleep since she came here.

In fact, what Yan Xinning didn't know was that every lady who came to Jingci Temple to reflect on her mistakes had fallen from the clouds to the mud. Not only did they have to work with the nuns in the temple to have food to eat, but they would also be beaten if they made mistakes or were lazy.

For someone like her, who doesn't have to work but still gets food to eat and has a maid to serve her, this is already the best treatment.

If Xie Chujiao hadn't arranged it for her in advance, she wouldn't have been able to enjoy such treatment.

Xie Chujiao did this not because she felt sorry for her suffering in the nunnery. She was worried that she would be tanned and her hands would be rough, and the Second Prince would dislike her. After all, she was still hoping to get on board the Second Prince through Yan Xinning, and seek benefits for her own children in the future!

"Hurry up, throw away the dirty things, go back and buy new ones." Yan Xinning didn't even eat breakfast, and directed Bailing to pack up. Anyway, she couldn't swallow the food here, so she might as well save her stomach to eat back home.

Yan Xinning wished she could return home in one step, and she would never have dreamed what would be waiting for her today.

After Jian Yue was sure that the carriage to pick up Yan Xinning had left from the mansion lord, she took the petition written by Yun Zhonghe and prepared to go to the county government to file a complaint.

Before leaving, she asked Yun Zhonghe: "Sir, have you told me whether I will have a smooth day today?"

Yun Zhonghe frowned slightly and shook his head: "It's strange, your fortune today is so blurry and I can't see through it at all."

Jian Yue's heart sank. Could it be that things wouldn't go smoothly today?

But she has decided to do it. Even if it doesn't go smoothly, she won't back down.

Man proposes, God disposes. Even if she couldn't bring Yan Xinning down, she would sever her ties with the Jian family.

Doctor Mao took Nanxing with her to file a complaint. Yun Zhonghe did not want to appear in public, so he did not go.

Jian Yue took the complaint and she and Doctor Mao did not take a carriage but walked there on purpose.

Someone who knew the master and his apprentice curiously asked Nanxing who was walking behind them: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Nan Xing replied: "Senior Sister Jian is going to sue the Jian family for passing off fakes as real ones, allowing their daughter to pretend to be a daughter to enjoy a good life, while using the real daughter as a slave."

I rub!

What a shocking thing!

What kind of great secret is this?

The people around Nanxing heard it. They were surprised that they had first-hand gossip and couldn't wait to share it with others. So, they all dispersed.

Soon, more and more people followed Jian Yue and Doctor Mao.

By the time we arrived at the county government office, the crowd of onlookers behind us had surrounded us so tightly that we couldn't get through, causing a traffic jam.

When Magistrate He, who was working in the back court, heard that Jian Yue had come to file a complaint, he immediately got a headache.

The previous case has not been solved yet, and she comes to complain again. Why is this little girl so good at getting into trouble?

Poor thing, this little girl hasn't had a day of peace since she came to the capital.

County Magistrate He was full of sympathy for Jian Yue.

"Your Excellency the Magistrate, I want to sue Mr. and Mrs. Jian Dacheng for being greedy and vicious. They let their daughter pretend to be the Lord's daughter and let her enter the Lord's mansion to enjoy wealth and splendor, but let the real daughter live outside, and they deliberately tortured her and wanted to kill her."

Ouch!

County Magistrate He felt as if he had been hit on the head with a hammer. He felt dizzy and his sympathy for Jian Yue disappeared instantly.

He is just a small seventh-rank county magistrate. Can he interfere in the case of the lord of the mansion?

Cases like this involving the secrets of the harem are the most difficult to handle. Because the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right, and the father-in-law says that the father-in-law is right. The most difficult thing to judge is family affairs.

County Magistrate He held his forehead with his hand.

Jian Yue presented the petition, which the lawyer took and placed respectfully on the desk of County Magistrate He.

Magistrate He silently picked up the petition, read it once, and then glanced at Jian Yue. After hesitating for a moment, he slammed the gavel and ordered the arrest of Jian Dacheng and his wife. He also sent someone to deliver a letter to Yan Xiuyuan as soon as possible.

Yan Xiuyuan had already arrived at the government office, but before he could even enter, he was stopped by a yamen runner who had come on horseback and said, "Sir Yan, please stay! The magistrate wants you and Miss Yan to go to the county office."

Yan Xiuyuan turned around, confused: "Why did you ask me to take my daughter to the county government office?"

The yamen runner replied respectfully: "The disciple of Divine Doctor Mao is suing Jian Dacheng and his wife for passing off fakes as real ones, letting their daughter impersonate the master's daughter, while letting the real daughter be a slave in the countryside, and even wanting to kill her."

Yan Xiuyuan felt as if struck by lightning, and his body swayed...
