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

Chapter 160 It’s hard to guard against domestic thieves
"Miss? What are you looking at?"

Kexin opened the curtain and walked in. Shen Jiaojiao was leaning against the pillow, her eyes were blank, and she didn't know what she was looking at.

Follow her gaze.

Their eyes fell on the window coffin at the same time.

Ke Xin's eyes flashed and he saw his lady's thoughts. Instead of comforting her, she walked over and locked the window.

A girl in green clothes broke into his sight.

Shen Jiaojiao came back to her senses and looked at Kexin's movements in confusion.

"What are you doing?"

"Go back to Miss, I'm guarding against thieves."

"There was a thief in the Meng Mansion?" Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened slightly, remembering the incident that she had almost forgotten.

Ke Xin was taken aback and looked inside through the crack in the door, "Didn't the two of you make it clear? How can the eldest young master come to pester our young lady again?"

She remembered that her sworn brother also sent Guangshan to preach at Mingzhuyuan, but... his sworn brother was audacious and took advantage of Guangshan's gathering of servants to break into the bathroom.

"I'm so tired that I still don't want to sleep. Who are you waiting for..."

Kexin sighed helplessly and left quietly.

And she was taking a bath...

Wei Lan had said before that the Wei Mansion was robbed and something very important was lost.

Under normal circumstances, the two of them can sleep on the small couch in the outer room of the east chamber. This is an honor given by the young lady.

When I walked outside, I saw Ke Ying walking in a hurry. The two of them changed shifts, and Ke Xin went back to the room to wash up.

"Miss, please go to bed early." Kexin tucked her into bed, "You have been walking outside for so long today, and you are also tired."

"Hey, why is sister outside?"

"No one thought about it!" Shen Jiaojiao quickly buried her head in the quilt.

"The young master is inside."

The scene at that time flashed through her mind. Shen Jiaojiao blushed and shook her head in a hurry to drive away those charming pictures.

After saying this, Shen Jiaojiao was indeed a little tired, the scene in her eyes became blurry, and she gradually closed her eyelids.

That little red face was revealed.

"It's hard to guard against thieves day and night!" Kexin looked at her with a smile, "Miss, her face is so red, who are you thinking of?"

Keying gestured to her to be silent.

She remembered that after that incident happened, Wei Zhifu closed the city for one day and put the city gates under martial law for seven days, causing uproar throughout the city.

Kexin walked closer, sat down on the edge of the bed, and pulled down the quilt.

When she came to take over again, she was a little surprised to see Keying guarding the door.

Later, the government office issued a notice saying that they were arresting important criminals from the imperial court, and the matter was dropped.

As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed in.

Keying quickly pulled her aside.

"The young master said he just came to see the young lady and we were not allowed in."

"The eldest young master says no, why don't you allow it? Get out of the way, I want to go in!"

In her eyes, her own lady is the most important.

"Kexin, don't be like this." Ke Ying hurriedly grabbed her and covered her mouth with her hand, "If you annoy the young master, you will be rewarded."

Ke Xin glanced at Keying strangely, "So what if I annoy you? The lady is in danger, how can you ignore her?"

Keying held her forehead, "Miss, wake up!"

In other words, Shen Jiaojiao was well aware of Meng Hui's arrival.

"What... um!" Ke Xin was about to scream, but her mouth was covered.

"Shh, don't make any noise!" Keying's face darkened, "I'm here, you can go back to the house and sleep."

……

Day two.

Shen Jiaojiao woke up before dawn.

She sat on the head of the bed and looked toward the window motionlessly, her face calm.

There was a whistling wind outside the window, but the room was as warm as spring.

Kexin was clearly locked last night, so why was the window half open?

Could it be that the maid came to open the window this morning to get some fresh air?

I don’t know how long I sat there, but in the blink of an eye, it was already dawn.

Ke Ying gently lifted the curtain and poked her head in. She was surprised to see that she was awake. "Miss, are you awake?"

As he spoke, he walked in quickly and paused when he passed by the window.

"No wonder the room is not stuffy. It turns out that Kexin opened the window."

"Did Kexin open it?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

It’s strange, but Keying wouldn’t say this at all on weekdays…

Isn’t it a trivial matter to open and close a window?

Keying nodded, "She came to tuck you in at the beginning of the month. She should have done it at that time."

With that said, he walked to Shen Jiaojiao and leaned over to straighten the broken hair on her forehead.

"Miss, would you like to get up?"

She retracted her gaze, looked at Keying, and asked, "Did anyone come last night?"

"Last night? There was no one else except Kexin and me." Keying put her hand on her forehead to check the temperature, "Is the lady dreaming?"

Shen Jiaojiao turned her face away from the warm hand.

"I wasn't sick, and I didn't have any dreams. I could feel someone watching me next to the bed last night."

Keying was taken aback, "Miss, have you noticed someone? Is she still in the house now? I'll ask the housekeeper to check!"

Shen Jiaojiao looked at Keying's face carefully and felt relieved when she saw her magnanimity.

"No need..."

She slept deeply last night and slept until dawn.

If she hadn't smelled a faint scent of osmanthus this morning and the window sash was half open, she wouldn't be so entangled.

She and her adopted brother have made it clear that there will never be an affair again.

That aroma might be her imagination.

"Get up." Shen Jiaojiao lifted off the quilt and got up.

Keying saw this and was about to bend down to put on her shoes.

She didn't need help. She picked up a soft-soled shoe, put it on easily and stood up.

Keying pursed her lips and smiled, walked quickly outside, said hello, and a maid brought hot water.

After washing, she sat in front of the dressing table.

Keying held a wooden comb in her hand to smooth her hair.

Kexin walked in quickly at this moment and reported to her, "Miss, Yumei is here, waiting in the yard."

"Let her in." Shen Jiaojiao said.

Ke Xin responded and went out to bring people in.

"Yumei has met the eldest lady." Yumei bowed to her, "I didn't get into the house in time yesterday, please forgive me."

"No problem." She looked at Kexin.

Kexin understood, stepped forward and helped Yumei up.

Yumei stood aside respectfully, waiting for instructions.

"Since you come to my Mingzhu Courtyard to serve you, then you can be a big maid. You can discuss the details with Keying."

"Yes." Yumei nodded in agreement, but did not leave.

Seeing this, Shen Jiaojiao asked, "What happened outside in the past two days?"

Yumei nodded solemnly, her expression solemn.

"When I get back to the eldest lady, Kexin should have told you all the recent events, but this one happened just yesterday.

"The spies from the Lin family sent news that a big shot seems to have moved into the Lin family, and even Governor Jiang and Magistrate Wei went to greet him.

"The young master seems to be passing by today. We don't know whether the person coming is an enemy or a friend, so we can only wait and see."

After hearing these words, Shen Jiaojiao just nodded without any extra reaction.

The concubine of the Lin family was already half disabled. As for the instigator behind the scenes, her sworn brother told her to leave it alone.

Thinking of her adopted brother, her heart moved slightly.

After confirming that there was nothing else important, she ordered Keying to take Yumei down to make arrangements and let Kexin dress up for her.

Keying stopped combing her hair and looked down at her young lady.

Ke Xin can do such a small thing...

Seeing her indifferent expression, Ke Ying thought she was overthinking and hurriedly accompanied Yumei to the servants' room.

After the others left, Shen Jiaojiao took Ke Xin's hand and looked at the maid in front of her to ensure that she would not miss any changes in her expression.

"Did my sworn brother come last night?"
