Chapter 143 Shen Family
"Ahem!" Li Shang coughed, almost choking on his own spit.

He sighed and looked outside.

Seeing that there was no one outside, he nodded to Shen Jiaojiao resignedly and invited the two of them into the house.

After entering the house, Shen Jiaojiao looked at the furnishings in the house calmly.

This study room is divided into two areas. On one side is a desk for handling affairs, and on the other side is a round table and round chairs, so that you can see everything with just a few glances.

No one can be hidden in the house.

In other words, the person who just chatted with Li Shang has left.

No wonder Li Shang conveniently closed the door.

It turns out that the purpose is to reserve time for people to run away.

Wei Lan didn't think so much. Seeing that there was no one in the room, he simply asked: "Shopkeeper Li, who were you talking to just now?"

Li Shang led the two of them to the round table, preparing tea and chatting, "No one..."

"No one? Are you talking to yourself inside? We heard everything!"

Wei Lan put his hands on his hips and looked like he would not give up until he made it clear.

Li Shang smiled awkwardly.

"Shopkeeper Li, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I can ask my sworn brother." Shen Jiaojiao stared into his eyes and said seriously.

Li Shang could hardly hold the teapot in his hand, and said with a sad face: "Miss, please don't tell Mr. Meng about this..."

If Meng Hui knew it was him who leaked the information, maybe the grass on his grave would be half a meter high next year.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and looked at him steadily.

"Oh, I said it's not okay?" Li Shang made a surrender gesture and turned to look at Wei Lan, "Miss Wei, please step aside."

Wei Lan was reluctant to leave at first, but seeing that his friend's face was heavy and he seemed to care about this matter, he reluctantly agreed and left first.

Only Shen Jiaojiao and Li Shang were left in the room.

"Are the words you just said true or false?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

Li Shang asked, "What do you think, Miss?"

"real."

"Of course it's true. I, Mr. Li, never tell lies."

"Does your sworn brother know about this?" As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that her question was a little funny.

Meng Hui's hands and eyes could reach the sky, how could he not know?
Li Shang glanced at her sympathetically, "Mr. Meng naturally knew about it. He told me this matter."

As he spoke, Li Shang coughed lightly and imitated Meng Hui's movements and tone.

"Jiaojiao and I are the real matchmakers ordered by our parents. We were supposed to be married, but it was Chen Yuanli who robbed my wife!"

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned, her face full of embarrassment and confusion.

Yi, sworn brother really said that?

Li Shang glanced at her and thought to himself: Meng Hui, Meng Hui, I can only help you so far. Whether you can succeed or not depends on you!

"Mr. Meng was drunk that time. He must have told the truth while drunk." Li Shang paused and begged, "Miss, please don't tell Mr. Meng this, otherwise I will be doomed." ”

She blushed with embarrassment and thought, how could she take the initiative to tell her adopted brother this?

Soon I remembered that Li Shang mentioned the 'Shen family' when chatting with the mysterious person.

Could it be that the sworn brother is investigating the Shen family?
Who is the mysterious person who was talking to Li Shang?
Thinking of this, she trembled all over, realizing that the time for the Shen family to be vindicated might be coming soon.

"I don't have to tell my sworn brother, but you have to tell me, what is my sworn brother investigating? What does it have to do with my Shen family?"

"It's the young Marquis." Li Shang said.

Shen Jiaojiao was startled, "What?"

"Mr. Meng received an order from the Young Marquis to thoroughly investigate the Shen family's treason case." "Little Marquis? Why are you still related to the Young Marquis?"

She was surprised. She didn't expect that someone would want to thoroughly investigate the old case and vindicate the Shen family.

This person is still the noble young prince.

There are all well-known and well-known figures in the capital.

Li Shang nodded and told Shen Jiaojiao seriously.

"The young Marquis and General Merchant Meng have a mutually beneficial relationship. Otherwise, do you think that just one trading house can do business all over the country?"

"Little Marquis' people were worried that Mr. Meng would not investigate, so they came here specifically to remind me. I will tell you about your relationship."

"Didn't Mr. Meng tell you about your life experience? Even if you don't talk about the marriage contract, you will at least talk about the Shen family, right?"

After listening to Li Shang's words, Shen Jiaojiao realized why her sworn brother was able to achieve success in just a few years.

Sure enough, there are people in the imperial court who are easy to do things with.

It's just...why does the young marquis pay attention to the Shen family's treason case?

She thought for a while, lowered her eyes and replied softly: "I know that I am General Shen's daughter, but I never knew that the Shen family was framed..."

This is half true and half false.

Mo Gan told her early in the morning that General Shen was framed, and told her that her adoptive father did it, and asked her to find evidence of the crime.

Of course, you can't tell Li Shang these things.

Li Shang didn't know what he thought of, and sighed, "You are still young, so Master Meng naturally won't say much to you."

"Then tell me."

"Speaking of breaking the sky, it's just a small thing that shocked the master with his great achievements." Li Shang shook his head, with a look of regret on his face.

From Li Shang's mouth, Shen Jiaojiao pieced together a complete story——

General Shen led his troops well, won several battles in succession, and was loved by the people. The old emperor was angry, so he took back the Tiger Talisman, reduced General Shen's military power, and drove him back to his hometown.

General Shen did not dare to touch the old emperor's bad luck, and lived on thin ice, even promising his children to ordinary families.

Unexpectedly, the Shen family found evidence of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and was sentenced to death.

To this day, the old emperor is seriously ill in bed, and the prince has seized power. The young marquis discovered that the Shen family's treason case seemed to be related to the third prince, and planned to dig deeper.

……

It turns out that the Shen family was the victim of the struggle for imperial power.

Shen Jiaojiao was silent for a long time and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"

"You have the right to know the Shen family's affairs."

As he said that, Li Shang smiled teasingly at her and said, "What's more, Mr. Meng agreed to marry the young Marquis without saying anything. Doesn't it mean that he has you in his heart?"

"My adopted brother has always been kind to me, and he does have my adopted sister in his heart. Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Li, for letting me know."

"By the way, have you discovered anything else? About the Shen family. You can tell me about it and we can tell each other." Li Shang asked.

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at Li Shang in surprise and shook her head.

"No, if you don't tell me, I will only think that my father is a collaborator and treasonous criminal."

She was keenly aware that Li Shang was lying. How could she easily reveal the whereabouts of Mo Gan and others?
After talking about the business, Li Shang didn't keep her. After repeatedly telling her not to talk outside, he asked the waiter to take her back to the private room.

As soon as I walked to the door of the private room, I saw my friend coming out quickly.

"How's it going? What's going on with Meng Hui's engagement with you?" Wei Lan asked with concern.

Shen Jiaojiao sighed, pulled her friend into the private room, and asked Kexin to go out and guard the door to prevent this shocking conversation from being heard.

"It's over, he and I are really engaged! It should have been my father's fingertips..."

Unconsciously, I wrote 30! I’m extremely grateful to those who voted for me in recent days. Hey, I’m so pampered by you~ I love you~
