Chapter 114 Hope
Meng Hui shook his head and laughed, "I won't really ground you."

"The punishments are all the same. Why?" Shen Jiaojiao said plausibly, "If I did something like Meng Wan, my adoptive mother would not take it lightly!"

This was the first time the two of them talked about dealing with Meng Wan.

She didn't dare to ask her adoptive father in detail last night for fear that he would be unhappy.

Speaking of it now, she immediately became energetic.

"Brother, you were also present at that time. How could Meng Wan be grounded for only half a year for such a big thing as murdering Aunt Zhou?"

"How can my adoptive father agree to such a treatment? How can Meng Wan learn the lesson if he is handled lightly?"

"I didn't even think of giving me an explanation!"

She rambled a lot and wished she could go back to yesterday, sitting in the room urging everyone to give Meng Wan a severe punishment.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Meng Hui sighed and took her into his arms.

"Don't think so much." The man kissed the top of her hair, "It's not peaceful outside these days. It's good for you to stay at home, and I'm relieved."

Shen Jiaojiao pricked up her ears and listened for a long time, but she didn't hear her sworn brother talking about Meng Wan.

Seeing his evasive attitude, she understood everything.

She no longer mentioned her adoptive mother and Meng Wan, and reluctantly agreed to her adoptive brother's request.

Just stay at home for a few days.

It just so happened that in the past few days, she had to think carefully about how to plot against Meng Wan - to treat him the same way as he did!
After Meng Hui left, she sat blankly for a moment and then called Kexin Keying to come in and wait on her.

Kexin opened the window in the house to disperse the smell of heather, while Keying tidied up the messy bed.

Shen Jiaojiao had long developed a thick-skinned character from Chengqiang, and lost her embarrassment and shyness from the previous times. She quietly sat on the couch and watched the two maids clean up.

"Hey, it would be great if the eldest young master was the young lady's uncle." Ke Xin suddenly sighed.

Keying quickly interrupted her sigh, "What are you talking about? How can the eldest young master be an uncle?"

"Why not? The young lady and the eldest young master grew up together. They know the basics and are no better than outsiders?"

"There will be people gossiping outside."

"If others have their mouths, let them speak. After all, you have to live your own life."

"I can't speak to you." Keying rolled her eyes, turned around and told Shen Jiaojiao, "Miss, don't listen to Kexin's nonsense."

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head, "Even you can't control Kexin's mouth."

She was always a little more indulgent towards the two maids she had grown up with since childhood.

Kexin, in particular, has a hot temper. Although he speaks freely in front of them, he also has a safe side.

She is willing to protect their rare nature.

"Isn't it?" Keying sighed, "Fortunately, the young lady is kind-hearted and doesn't care. If it were another master, she would have slapped her long ago."

Naturally, Ke Xin didn't want to be told that. She took three steps at a time and ran to Shen Jiaojiao to explain her thoughts to her.

"Miss, I'm not talking nonsense. There have been a lot more smiles on your face in recent days."

"Since the eldest young master came back from his business trip, you have changed from your past lifelessness, and your life seems to have hope..."

"Besides, my uncle is really not worthy of you when he treats Qin Muchu like that. I think even Young Master Murong is a bit better than my uncle."

Upon hearing the words 'Mrong Master', Keying rarely agreed, "Mrong Master is indeed not bad."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her hands to her forehead, her face full of helplessness.

"Do you two judge whether a person is good or bad based on his face? Have you forgotten that he sent people to hunt you down a few days ago?"

"That's true." Kexin and Keying looked at each other, recalling the thrilling moment that day, and quickly gave up on Murong Zi.

"Then the eldest young master is better." Kexin said again, "Yesterday the young master also dealt with those servants who betrayed the master."

"How to deal with it?" Shen Jiaojiao asked. She didn't want to hear Kexin's little mouth praising Meng Hui.

"Zhu Mao had evil intentions and was punished with a cane for thirty years. He had his tongue pulled out and sold it to a dentistry shop. His family members were also kicked out of the house."

"Liu Dachang was punished with twenty sticks and stayed in the mansion to do dirty work. Most of his family worked in the big kitchen, and several of them were kicked off."

"The remaining maids and servants were sold out. The eldest young master said that they betrayed the master and were not sent to the government. The family scandal must not be made public."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "This is an explanation to Aunt Zhou."

As for the big kitchen... Shen Jiaojiao suspected that her sworn brother would soon arrange for his own men to go in and lure the snake out of its hole.

Ever since she said there was a problem in the big kitchen, her step-brother has never done anything to the big kitchen. Only after listening to it today did she know the reason——

The kitchen is the hardest place to get a handle on, and the sworn brother will not take action unless he is completely sure.

This is consistent with his character of planning before deciding.

"That's right!" Kexin suddenly slapped her head and remembered something important, "Miss, my uncle came here this morning."

Shen Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, "You didn't come in, did you?!"

"No, miss, don't worry." Ke Xin quickly told everything that happened this morning.

"My uncle came to the gate of Mingzhu Courtyard early this morning. He asked the servant and found out that you were still sleeping, so he asked people not to pass the news."

"He stood outside for a while and said a lot of nonsense to the boy, roughly 'I hope to welcome Aunt Zhou into the door within three days' and let you take care of it."

After Ke Xin finished speaking, Ke Ying also took over the conversation and secretly sarcastically said, "I really don't treat you as an outsider."

"Within three days?" Shen Jiaojiao pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then we will start preparations today."

She asked Kexin to call Aoxue over.

Aoxue arrived soon, and as soon as she entered the house, she smelled the smell of blood.

The closer she got to Shen Jiaojiao, the richer the flavor became.

"Miss is injured?" Aoxue asked.

"I'm coming to Kuishui." She replied with a blush, "Didn't you say before that you would take my pulse when you came to Kuishui?"

Aoxue nodded and immediately felt her pulse.

"You two go down and get ready first. Look at the old almanac to see which day is more auspicious, and then think about Meng Wan's specifications when he came in."

She gestured to Meng Wan and welcomed Aunt Zhou in.

Kexin and Keying all responded, "Yes."

After the two maids retreated, Aoxue also felt her pulse and was looking at her face with her head tilted.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Aoxue frowned and looked a little ugly, "Miss's health is really bad, and it's really difficult to take care of her well."

"Then let's forget about it for now." Shen Jiaojiao waved her hand and pulled Aoxue to her side.

"When will the medicine I asked you yesterday be ready?" she asked softly.

Aoxue looked over in surprise, "Miss, are you going to use it so soon?"

"I want to make Meng Wan suffer the consequences on the grand day when Chen Yuanli welcomes his second concubine!"

"If that's what Miss thinks, you can use the medicine given by Uncle Mo." Aoxue took out a small white porcelain bottle from her arms.

"What is this?" she asked.

"This is the medicine that Meng Wan used to harm you." Aoxue pursed her lips and smiled, "To retaliate with a tooth, naturally I have to return the same medicine to her."

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes lit up and she reached out to take the medicine bottle.
