She has a slender waist and delicate bones, and is able to seduce the ascetic horse.

Chapter 144 I look down on you
Shen Jiaojiao cried while holding her head, not knowing what to do.

Wei Lan was also a little confused when he heard this.

Aren't the two sworn brothers and sisters?

The adopted brothers and sisters who have been in love with each other for more than ten years suddenly have a marriage contract. What is going on?

After thinking for a long time, Wei Lan asked: "Does your sworn brother know about this?"

Shen Jiao looked at her friend helplessly.

"What do you say?"

"He knows?" Wei Lan's mind went blank for a moment, and then he took a breath, "Hey, since he knows, why does he do this to you?"

"How do I know?" She sighed.

"When did he know about it? With his temperament, if he knew that you two were engaged, how could he allow you to marry Chen Yuanli?" Wei Lan asked.

In the past, her adopted brother had always been cold to her.

Shen Jiaojiao frowned delicately and muttered: "I understand, you don't need to explain it so clearly."

My friend’s analysis is not unreasonable.

This is more sad than being looked down upon by your adopted brother.

Maybe it was like what Wei Lan said, that the sworn brother felt sorry for her when he saw her being ignored by Chen Yuanli, and developed a pity for her?

Wei Lan smiled and tapped her forehead.

At that time, her adoptive father was still a soldier under General Shen. General Shen did not adhere to these etiquette and promised her to his adopted brother...

"You, you usually look smart, but when it comes to your own affairs, you act stupid."

She thought about it carefully and confirmed that it was only after she got married and the accident that night that her adopted brother gradually showed other thoughts.

She can understand the Meng family's choice.

No wonder her adoptive father and mother wanted to adopt her. It turned out to be to silence the world.

"Don't worry, Jiaojiao." Wei Lan pulled her hand off her head and held it tightly, "According to your sworn brother's temperament, if he had known that you two were engaged, he would never have given Chen Yuanli a chance to get close to you. He should I found out later.”

She shook her head blankly, "This is also the first time I've heard of this. Maybe it's because the Meng family's industry is getting bigger and bigger, and they think I can't help my sworn brother?"

"The Meng family has concealed the engagement from the beginning and has no intention of letting anyone know about it. Isn't this just because they look down on you?"

Later, the Shen family was in trouble, and her adoptive father saved her at a critical moment. This was already a huge kindness, and it was normal for her to not want to maintain the engagement.

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "I know."

"Speaking of which, how come you two kept your engagement so well-hidden? I've never heard of it."

"Okay, don't be sad." Wei Lan patted her hand, "Didn't you decide to leave? What does it matter whether you are engaged or not?"

If she had known that the two of them had been engaged, she wouldn't have felt guilty when she saw her adopted father and adopted mother...

It's just...why didn't the sworn brother tell her after he found out?
Why do you have to approach her and force her again and again without explaining anything to her?

She wailed again, "How should I know!"

Shen Jiaojiao smiled, infected by her friend's optimism.

"Allan still sees things thoroughly."

Wei Lan smiled proudly, "That's right, he's just a man!"

Shen Jiaojiao looked at her friend teasingly, "Then why do you have to go see Li Shang?"

Wei Lan choked and almost bit his tongue.

"I...I...didn't I do that for you?"

"Why just for me?" she asked.

"Usually shopkeeper Li will come to see you, but something happened this time." Wei Lan boasted shamelessly, "Thankfully I took you to find him, otherwise how would you know the secret of the engagement?"

After hearing her friend's excuse, she smiled and shook her head, "Then I have to thank you."

Wei Lan nodded proudly, "Of course." The two looked at each other and laughed.

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She knew in her heart that as a noble girl, Wei Lan's life had always been difficult, so she looked forward to hanging out with her every day.

Ever since Miss Wei got married, Wei Lan had made preparations for an engagement and marriage - all the daughters of Wei Zhifu's family had to get married.

If you can't marry into a respectable family in Lin'an City, you can only marry into a neighboring county or even the capital.

Life-long events cannot be decided by yourself.

Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, alas...

After laughing, Wei Lan gave her a piece of snack, "This is good, it's more delicious than the plum blossom cake you served to guests at the concubine ceremony yesterday."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and looked at her friend, "You want to ask what happened yesterday?"

She understands Wei Lan's thoughts so well, just as Wei Lan understands her.

"Hehe, I can't hide this from you." Wei Lan looked at her with a smile, "Did something happen to Meng Wan?"

She sighed helplessly, "You."

After a moment of silence, she recounted everything that happened yesterday, including the dirty things she had asked people to do.

As soon as Wei Lan saw her expression, he knew that she was sad, so he quickly stretched out his hand to hug her.

"You are very good. You are the best woman I have ever met."

"So what if I did it? Meng Wan provoked you first, not to mention you haven't done it yet."

"Jiaojiao, you are simply amazing! If I were you, I would just let Meng Wan go around without food. You are actually worried that this is not good..."

Listening to Wei Lan's louder praises, Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, threw herself into her friend's arms, and poured out her grievances with tears in her eyes.

After crying, she felt much better and suggested going to a teahouse for tea.

Wei Lan saw that she was still interested in drinking tea, so how could she disobey her?
Shen Jiaojiao called Ke Xin to come in, freshened up and was about to go downstairs when she saw Ke Ying walking up in a hurry.

"Miss!"

Keying shouted in panic and whispered in her ear.

"The wine in Mengxianju is out again!"

Her eyes widened, "No more?"

This is impossible!
Previously, shopkeeper Li came to the door and talked about the issue of cutting off supply of Mengxian Wine. She also heard her sworn brother say with her own ears that a new water transportation route had been opened and a batch of wine had been transported back.

Why are you out of wine now?

"If you don't believe me, miss, ask the waiter to ask." Keying said.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, "What's the use of asking the waiter? Go and call Li Shang, and I'll ask."

After saying that, he turned to Wei Lan, smiled apologetically, and returned to the private room.

Wei Lan sat back happily. She was naturally happy to see Li Shang.

Not long after, Li Shang quickly pushed the door open and entered.

"Miss, are you looking for me?"

"Well, let me ask about Mengxian Wine." Shen Jiaojiao stared at Li Shang, "The wine in the restaurant is gone again?"

"There are still a few jars left, but they are no longer available for sale. Mr. Meng said he would keep them for himself."

The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, her stepbrother actually drank too?
"Then why don't we have people transport it? Didn't we open up a new water transport route? Why are there still problems with supply?"

"The new route has not yet been approved by the government. It is currently being discussed." As he said that, Li Shang glanced at Wei Lan meaningfully.

When Wei Lan saw him looking over, she lowered her head slightly and showed a shy smile.

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, looked at Li Shang, and then at her friend. She didn't continue to ask, but took Wei Lan's hand and left.
