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

Chapter 178 Not taking the initiative

Shen Jiaojiao was upset, and at Keying's urging, she reluctantly got up and walked out.

Before she even approached the courtyard gate, she saw a man in red with his back to her, standing with his hands behind his back, his posture slender and straight.

Just one glance, and ripples appeared in her eyes.

Soon, she woke up again, raised her hand and rubbed her cheek, trying to get rid of the throbbing in her mind.

The fingertips touched his cheek, bringing a hint of coldness.

She was refreshed and completely came to her senses.

Shen Jiaojiao! Wake up!
He is the adopted brother, Meng Wan's biological brother, and the man who will be with Jiang Yi for the rest of his life.

Stop asking for things that don’t belong to you!
"Brother, are you looking for me?"

She walked to the entrance of the courtyard and stood half a meter away from Meng Hui.

The man turned around and stared at her for a moment, with no emotion in his eyes.

Just when Shen Jiaojiao couldn't hold back and wanted to ask, the man's indifferent voice sounded.

"Well, I heard that you punished a few servants."

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned and quietly clenched her fists.

Her throat felt slightly astringent, as if she had swallowed a whole bowl of coptis decoction, which was so painful that she wanted to frown.

"Brother-in-law is here to stand up for Meng Wan and ask me to challenge him?" she asked.

The man frowned, looked at her from top to bottom, and then took a step forward to close the distance between them.

"what are you saying?"

There was a hint of displeasure in the deep voice.

Obviously, Meng Hui heard the unfinished meaning in her words——

She actually thought he was looking for trouble.

In her mind, is he so bad?

Meng Hui raised his hand, about to grab her chin and question her further.

But Li Shang's voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
'You can't be too proactive, let her take the initiative. '

Meng Hui paused and quickly retracted his hand.

"Let me remind you that the Chiang Mansion will hold a banquet tomorrow, don't forget it."

Shen Jiaojiao kept her head down and didn't see the man's movements. Now when she heard him say this, she felt even more uncomfortable.

As expected, the sworn brother had just gone to coax Jiang Yi.

Before the Jiang family handed over the invitation, the sworn brother already knew about this.

If it wasn't Jiang Yi who said it, who else could it be?
She nodded silently, "I understand."

Meng Hui said 'hmm' and asked again: "What's going on with those servants? What does it have to do with Meng Wan?"

"Meng Wan asked them to humiliate Aunt Zhou, I just punished them."

After saying that, she raised her head, her little face tightened, and she looked at Meng Hui's face seriously.

Trying to find something in his expression.

Nothing.

The man's face was indifferent, three points colder than the water in the lotus pond in winter.

Those cold eyes were so deep and scary.

Shen Jiaojiao was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him again.

"Well done, and those who don't obey will be beaten out."

After leaving these words, Meng Hui turned and left.

It was as if he came here specifically to tell her about the banquet hosted by the Jiang family.

As for trivial matters such as punishing servants, he didn't take it to heart.

The dignified eldest lady of the Meng family naturally has the right to punish servants who have made mistakes.

"Miss, the young master is gone." Keying on the side reminded.

Shen Jiaojiao looked up blankly.

Where is the figure of the sworn brother in front of me?
"It's cold outside, let's go inside first."

Keying coaxed and persuaded, and finally persuaded Shen Jiaojiao to return to the east chamber.

Ke Xin and Aoxue were both waiting in the room. When they saw her coming in, they greeted her one after another.

Kexin cooperated with Keying and helped take off her lady's robe.

Aoxue pinched her wrist and carefully checked her pulse, then looked at her hand which was covered tightly with ointment. It seems that Kexin told Aoxue about her injury.

Shen Jiaojiao patted Aoxue on the shoulder, "Don't worry, go over and sit down first."

The four masters and servants sat on the small platform together.

Aoxue made a tacit understanding and didn't mention anything about Mo Gan again. She just took her pulse carefully and took some burn plaster for examination.

"Hey! Wait!" She suddenly called Aoxue, remembering the miracle doctor's reminder.

"Mr. Qian said that the poison in my body cannot be cured."

"Why is this?" Aoxue was puzzled.

Shen Jiaojiao repeated Qian Lao's words.

When she mentioned the poison in her body, the three maids turned pale with shock.

"There are worms on the lady's body?!"

"I have never been exposed to poison. Please reach out and I will feel your pulse."

Ke Ying is calmer than the other two.

"Miss, since Mr. Qian is the miracle doctor hired by the young master, he should be able to cure the poisons and poisons in your body, but... I'm afraid Aoxue's identity will be exposed."

Although Ke Ying does not know the purpose of Mo Gan and others, she does know Aoxue's life experience - she repays her father's kindness just to repay General Shen's kindness.

After spending this time together, Keying had already accepted Aoxue and began to think about Aoxue's safety.

Mr. Qian and Meng Hui were familiar with each other, and if anything was leaked, Meng Hui would definitely doubt Aoxue's origins.

If the investigation continues...

Shen Jiaojiao's heart sank.

Yes, what if the sworn brother becomes suspicious?

The sworn brother is extremely smart, and he might soon find out that Aoxue is related to the Shen family, and thus associate him with Mo Gan.

"Kexin, you go find Mr. Qian later and ask him for the recipe for burn ointment, and ask Mr. Qian to keep it a secret." Shen Jiaojiao ordered.

Kexin nodded, "I understand."

No matter whether this matter can be achieved or not, the order given by the lady must be carried out.

At this time, Aoxue withdrew her hand that took her pulse, her face full of dejection.

"Miss, I can't see the Gu insect..."

She is not good at studying and can't see anything except the poison in the young lady's body.

Shen Jiaojiao: "Skills have specializations. If you are a decathlete, then the title of miracle doctor should fall on you."

When Aoxue heard this, she realized that was what happened.

She became very interested in this miracle doctor with superb medical skills and wanted to follow Ke Xin to see him.

Shen Jiaojiao agreed and asked Keying to follow her out, just to relax.

Ke Ying shook her head and didn't want to go out.

These are extraordinary times, and the second young lady is that kind of person, so it’s better to guard her.

"Miss, we found Lu Yong." Keying said.

Shen Jiaojiao sat up straight and asked eagerly, "Where is he?"

Ke Ying shook her head silently.

She understood that it meant 'dead'.

"The foster mother is really good at it!"

She snorted coldly and asked again.

"What's wrong with Lu Yong's family? Why does he get involved with the maid in Hanliyuan?"

Keying said: "Lu Laosan's family didn't have any special reaction, they didn't seem to care that their son was missing or dead.

"As for the eldest maid in Hanliyuan... I heard that she had angered the second lady that day, and the second lady wanted to marry her to Liu Dachang, who poured night fragrance.

"She doesn't want to. She and Lu Yong have been in love with each other for a long time. The two of them just waited for Meng Wan to show his kindness and release him from the house to get married. Who knows..."

Ke Ying was speechless and couldn't bear to continue.

Shen Jiaojiao knew in her heart that the maid was just a means for Meng Wan to appease the Liu family.

The Liu family is a foster mother and is in charge of the big kitchen.

Previously, Meng Wan failed to frame Aunt Zhou, but instead framed Liu Dachang. Now she inserted a daughter-in-law in order to stop Liu Dachang's mouth.

It's just...the eldest maid hasn't married yet, so there is room for change, so why did it suddenly happen?
