The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 161 Xie Yulan

Then, he put on a flattering expression: "Ms. Xinning, don't be angry. I'll give you the two thousand taels. When that old fox comes to me again, I'll ask him for more."

"That old fox won't let me kill Jian Zhaodi, so I'll just cripple her and give her to him. But I have to let Miss Xinning vent her anger. Tell me, how do you want to torture her?"

……

Walking out of the cell, Jian Yue looked at Yan Xiuyuan who was silent, with a sneer on her face: "Father, don't you believe that Yan Xinning is such a person who will do anything to achieve his goal?"

Jian Yue smiled sarcastically: "Anyway, during her five years in the Mansion, her father treated her like his own daughter, gave her the best of everything, and let her enjoy wealth like a princess. But how did she repay you? If she doesn't kill your own daughter, she won't be able to eat or sleep well!"

Jian Yue's words were like sharp thorns, piercing Yan Xiuyuan's heart and making blood come out.

His daughter was mocking him for raising an ungrateful person, and she was still complaining that he couldn't let go. In fact, it wasn't that he couldn't let go, he just didn't want to break up with the Second Prince.

To offend a prince, especially a prince who has the potential to become emperor, isn't that courting death?

Alas! My daughter grew up in the countryside and has a short-sighted vision. She doesn’t understand the interests involved at all.

Yan Xiuyuan was distressed by his daughter's unreasonableness.

Yun Zhonghe told Yan Xiuyuan about the abnormal weather and did not stay long.

Yan Xiuyuan asked Jian Yue to stay at home for a few days, and Jian Yue agreed. She said that she would go back after finishing the work at hand, and she wanted to go back to inspect the results.

This time Jian Yue brought a few more people with her, including Mu Xiang, Fu Yun, Fu Wu and Fu Liu.

She went to see the shop that had been taken back.

The three shops are all located on a busy street and on the same street, which saves the trouble of running errands.

Yuyan Rouge Shop is a two-story shop with four rooms. It is large, decorated in a luxurious and high-end style, and sells mid- to high-end products. Its main customers are wealthy and powerful noble ladies.

There were several gorgeous carriages parked at the door, all bearing the mansion's mark.

Jian Yue looked around and didn't recognize any of them. She stayed at Yue's house all day studying and didn't associate with those ladies. Besides, they didn't think highly of her. Even if she had the title of a disciple of a genius doctor, she had no value in the eyes of others, and no one really wanted to associate with her.

In her previous life, Jian Yue grew up in the mountains and rarely came into contact with people, so she was a real social phobia. This kind of personality also destined her to have no friends.

"Give me these bottles of Jade Face Cream. And these limited edition lip balms, give me all of them."

A woman in luxurious clothes was bossing the shopkeeper around to buy up all the most expensive cosmetics in the shop.

The ladies and young ladies nearby were watching with only envy.

And the woman's next words made them even more envious and jealous: "Keep accounts."

The shopkeeper seemed accustomed to it and agreed with a smile.

The lady asked the maid to pick up the things and wanted to leave. After watching for a while, Jian Yue stopped her: "Wait." She looked at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper Wu, right? Who is she? Why didn't she pay for the things?"

Shopkeeper Wu was a little displeased when he heard this: "This is a matter between our shops. Miss, you can buy whatever you want. It is not appropriate for you to ask about other matters."

The lady snorted coldly: "It's no good for a dog to catch a rat. Do you know whose shop this is? This is my sister's shop. I took my sister's things. Is it your business?"

Jian Yue laughed angrily: "Really? How come I didn't know I had a sister this old? As the owner of the Jade Face Rouge Shop, I can't even ask about what's going on in the shop?"

Shopkeeper Wu was stunned, looked at Jian Yue carefully, and asked uncertainly: "You, you are the eldest lady?"

Mu Xiang angrily scolded: "You are so blind that you can't even recognize the young lady."

The noble lady looked Jian Yue up and down with a look of disgust on her face: "Oh! So you are the peasant girl we just recognized! You can't wait to ask for this and that as soon as you enter the house. What's the use of asking for it? How many characters do you know? Do you know how to manage a shop?"

Jian Yue sneered: "I don't know where this dog came from, barking in the shop."

The lady's face changed and she glared at him in an instant: "You little bitch! Who are you scolding? You uneducated thing. Your mother is reluctant to teach you, so I will teach you how to behave." She raised her hand and slapped Jian Yue hard in the face.

Snapped!Snapped!

Fu Yun attacked left and right, and immediately five symmetrical finger marks appeared on the lady's face.

The noble lady was stunned. The maidservant beside her was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted: "How dare you! You dare to hit the wife of the magistrate, you are dead!"

Jian Yue was confused: What the hell is this Madam Ru from the Tongpan family? She didn't have any memory of this person! Who could help her solve this puzzle?

Fu Yun said: "She is Xie Yulan, the concubine sister of the mansion master's wife, and the ninth concubine of Wang Tongpan. Because she was favored, she was promoted to a lady."

This time it was Jian Yue's turn to look her up and down: "It's bad enough that you're just a concubine showing off, but you even come to my shop to have sex for free. Can't the magistrate afford to support you?"

Xie Yulan was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She pointed at Jian Yue and said, "I am your aunt, and you actually allowed the servants to beat me. You little bitch, if you don't apologize to me, I will not forgive you."

Jian Yue chuckled: "We'll talk about whether to forgive her or not later. You should settle the accounts in the shop first. Shopkeeper Wu, bring the account book here so I can see how much this Madam Ru took from the shop."

Shopkeeper Wu looked at Xie Yulan with a hesitant expression.

Jian Yue's eyes were sharp: "What? Shopkeeper Wu can't tell who is the boss?"

Shopkeeper Wu took out the account book reluctantly.

"Write down everything you took today and count them together."

Shopkeeper Wu had no choice but to keep accounts.

Xie Yulan was unwilling and shouted angrily: "I am your aunt, what's wrong with me taking things from your shop? Shouldn't you respect your elders?"

"Sorry! My mother has no sisters, so where does the aunt come from?"

"You, you bastard! You have no manners at all. I'm going to tell your mother and let her teach you a lesson."

"My mother died a long time ago. Do you want to go to the underworld to look for her? If you really want to go, I won't stop you. Do you want me to burn some paper money to send you off?"

puff!

Some people couldn't help laughing.

Xie Yulan's face turned blue and purple. She pointed at Jian Yue and seemed to be about to faint.

After Shopkeeper Wu finished recording the accounts, Jian Yue grabbed the account and took a look. She found that Xie Yulan came to the shop to get rouge and powder every two or three days, and each time she took the most expensive and best ones. A total of two thousand eight hundred and sixty-five taels had accumulated in the account book.

Jian Yue looked at the time of the first credit purchase, which was the day after the shop was handed over to her. No need to guess, Xie Chujiao was upset because the shop was handed over, so she asked her concubine sister to annoy her.

If she couldn't bring herself to ask Xie Yulan for money, the money would be wasted. If she insisted on asking Xie Yulan for money, maybe...
