The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 173 Questioning

She became nervous and began to pant.

Jian Yue stopped talking nonsense with her and put down the bowl. A figure flashed before her eyes and she was already in front of Xie Chujiao. She grabbed Xie Chujiao's wrist and pulled it off, removing one of her arms.

"Ah..." Xie Chujiao screamed as the second arm was removed.

Jian Yue pushed her onto the chair, pinched her chin, and picked up the bowl of soup and poured it into her mouth.

Xie Chujiao's face was swollen with fear, and she struggled desperately. But her arms couldn't move, and most of the bowl of soup was poured into her.

Jian Yue loosened her hand, admired her frightened face, smiled disdainfully, and turned to leave the warm room.

"Someone come, someone come quickly!" Xie Chujiao shouted at the top of her lungs, but no one came in.

She moved to the door and struggled to open it with her toes, only to find that Biyu and the two maids guarding the door had fainted on the ground.

There was a burning pain in her chest. Xie Chujiao was almost scared to death. Her body became more and more numb until she lost consciousness.

Boom!

The ground at the door shook.

Jian Yue returned to Shiyuexuan in a good mood to eat. The meal was already cold, so she asked Muxiang to heat it up again in the small kitchen.

Jinxiu Garden was in chaos.

Butler Yan was about to send someone to inform Yan Xiuyuan. When he looked up, he found that his master had returned from the government office. He hurried forward to report: "Master, it's bad, the wife has been poisoned and is unconscious."

Just as Jian Yue was about to continue reading medical books after dinner, Yan Wu came and invited her to Jinxiu Garden.

Jian Yue said nothing, took an umbrella, and left with Muxiang and Yan Wu.

The snow had lightened by now, and the servants in the mansion were busy clearing the snow from the path.

In Jinxiu Garden, Xie Chujiao had already taken the antidote and woke up, and her arm had been fixed by the palace doctor. At this moment, she was crying in front of Yan Xiuyuan.

In the past, Xie Chujiao was very lovable when she shed tears. But now, there were two lines of tears on her dark and fat face full of acne, and the pus on her face was washed away and shiny, which was really... disgusting.

Yan Xiuyuan couldn't bear to look at it and turned his face away.

Yan Tianchen and Yan Lingshan surrounded Xie Chujiao, comforting her and scolding Jian Yue.

As Jian Yue stepped into the warm room, a cup flew towards her. She turned her head to dodge, and the cup was caught by Yan Wu behind her.

"You little bitch from the countryside, how dare you poison my mother? I'll beat you to death!" Yan Tianchen had long forgotten the fear of being beaten by Jian Yue, and pounced on her with his teeth and claws bared.

Jian Yue dodged to the side and kicked him. Yan Tianchen didn't expect Jian Yue to move so quickly. Before he could react, he fell towards the table.

A figure flashed before his eyes and Yan Wu grabbed him in time.

Yan Tianchen was still in shock, and only then did he realize that he was scared. His face turned pale with fear, and he was shocked and angry: "You! Little..."

"Enough!" Yan Xiuyuan interrupted him and looked at Jian Yue with gloomy eyes: "Ayue, why did you poison your mother?"

Jian Yue said sarcastically: "I'm sorry, my mother died many years ago, how can she be poisoned?"

Yan Xiuyuan choked and his face became even uglier: "Why did you poison your stepmother? Even if you don't like her, just don't meet her."

Jian Yue snorted: "Father, you asked a good question. Why would I poison my stepmother? I am an orphan who has just found a family and I don't live in the mansion all the time. What good would it do me to poison my stepmother?"

Yan Xiuyuan frowned: "You are still trying to make excuses even at this point? Didn't you force yourself to drink this bowl of poisonous soup?"

Jian Yue sneered: "Father, why didn't you ask why the soup given to me by the head kitchen was poisoned? If you don't want to recognize me, just tell me directly. Why did you allow others to poison me?"

"How dare you! How dare you talk like that? How could I allow others to poison you?" Yan Xiuyuan was so angry that his face turned red.

"Oh! Since it wasn't my father's connivance, then it must be my stepmother's own decision? Excuse me, stepmother, what was your intention in poisoning me? It wasn't to embezzle my mother's dowry, was it?"

"Little bitch... you are talking nonsense and slandering me! Not only do you not take me, your stepmother, seriously, but you also poison me and throw dirty water on me. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

"If my conscience had been eaten by a dog, I would not have given you the chance to take the antidote." Jian Yue looked at Yan Xiuyuan, "Father, it's clear who poisoned me. You are the head of the family, and it's easy for you to find out the truth. But if you want to play dumb, there's nothing I can do."

"After all, isn't it all because of my mother's dowry? Do you think that if you kill me or cripple me, you can take my mother's dowry for yourself? Haha! I have already told my master that if I have an accident, it is because someone wants to harm me for my mother's dowry. When the time comes, my master will definitely complain to the emperor and avenge me."

Yan Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly looked at Xie Chujiao and asked sternly: "Did you do it? Was it for the dowry, as Ah Yue said?"

Xie Chujiao was stunned for a moment, then her face was in a panic: "I didn't, she's talking nonsense, she, she's slandering. Master, she's talking nonsense, we've been married for more than ten years, don't you know what kind of person I am? Woohoo! My life is so miserable! I was persecuted by my stepdaughter, but I don't even have a place to appeal."

Xie Chujiao was heartbroken, looking like she was wronged. Yan Lingshan supported her mother and stared at Jian Yue with eyes full of resentment.

"If father really wants to know the truth, then go and check. First, check where stepmother got the antidote. She took the antidote so promptly, it seems that she had prepared it long ago."

"Since I can't even go home for a reunion dinner, I'll just leave." Jian Yue said, turning around and walking out.

Yan Xiuyuan hurriedly said: "Ayue, no one dares to disallow you, you must not leave."

"No, I'm afraid I'll be poisoned somewhere else. No matter how strong my life is, it won't stand up to the constant plotting."

Yan Xiuyuan's face was dark and his eyes were gloomy. He glared at Xie Chujiao fiercely, and Xie Chujiao felt even more wronged and burst into tears.

Yan Tianchen took the opportunity to sneak out and followed Jian Yue.

"Go catch her and bury her in the snow." Yan Tianchen ordered the two guards.

These two guards were placed by Yan Xiuyuan by his side to protect him, so they naturally obeyed his orders.

Jian Yue was very sharp-eyed and knew that someone was following her. She told Mu Xiang, "Go back to Shiyuexuan to pack your things first. We will leave soon."

After Muxiang left quickly, she deliberately walked slowly, as if she was enjoying the snow scene. Until she felt a gust of wind coming from behind...

Yan Xiuyuan chased Yan Lingshan out and looked at Xie Chujiao quietly.

Xie Chujiao felt so nervous when she was looked at that she couldn't even cry anymore.

"What do you want to do by poisoning her?" Yan Xiuyuan asked suddenly.

Xie Chujiao paused in her tears and was about to explain herself when she heard Yan Xiuyuan say, "Don't deny it to me. You did it so obviously that even a three-year-old could guess that it was you who did it."

Yan Xiuyuan sighed deeply...
