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

Chapter 217 Willing to reconcile
Shen Jiaojiao keenly captured Yumei's emotional changes.

Thinking of the precarious master-servant relationship between the two, she quickly asked: "You don't want to hand it over to your adopted brother?"

Yumei calmed down and put away the dissatisfaction in her heart.

"My slave has no such intention."

"Sister Yumei, you have watched me grow up, and I trust you. If you have other ideas, you can tell me," she said sincerely.

Yumei is capable and good at martial arts. She used to take care of outside affairs for her sworn brother, but now she is detained in the mansion and works as a maid for her.

It feels so wrong to follow her...

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at Yumei guiltily, but she looked into the depths of a pair of soft eyes.

Yumei smiled gently, "Young lady, you are worrying too much, I don't have any ideas. No, I was really unwilling before.

"I don't want to give up what I have worked so hard to do, but... the most important thing right now is to protect you.

"I should put you first. Everything else is irrelevant."

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned, wondering why Yumei suddenly changed her attitude.

Is it because he is afraid that his sworn brother will come to trouble him?
Forget it, it's a matter between their master and servant anyway. When it comes to preparing supplies, the sworn brother cannot let go, as long as Yumei is willing to cooperate.

She rolled her eyes, gently dropped the subject of supplies, and then changed it to another.

"Then what's Wang Zhu's current situation?"

Wang Zhu was the boy who harmed her in the first place and then testified on her behalf.

It was a pity that Meng Wan could not be brought down at that time, and Meng Wan only received a painless punishment of grounding.

Later, Ke Xin told her that someone wanted to kill Wang Zhu to silence him, and Master Jiang was forced to send Wang Zhu away.

"Don't worry, Miss. Wang Zhu is very safe now. Governor Jiang has been sending people to protect him." Yumei replied.

"That's good. He's the only one left in his family. Take good care of him."

Even though she didn't do these things, they were somehow related to her - in order to frame her, Meng Wan hurt so many innocent people.

She felt ashamed of Meng Wan's behavior.

"Do you still want to continue to take care of it?" Yumei frowned, "There is no movement over there, and Governor Jiang's people have been taking care of it. Can we bring back the manpower?"

Yumei is very keen, aware of the undercurrent hidden under the tranquility, and desperately hopes to gather all the people back to protect the eldest lady.

Lin'an City is in the midst of a storm.

"Okay, I guess Meng Wan doesn't have the energy to trouble Wang Zhu at the moment." Shen Jiaojiao agreed.

Speaking of Meng Wan, Yumei's eyes darkened slightly.

"I'm afraid the investigation into Meng Wan will come to an end for the time being. If we continue the investigation, I'm afraid it will alert the enemy."

"It's up to you." After saying that, she suddenly raised her lips and smiled, teasing: "No wonder you called her by her name when you were in Lanshui Garden."

Yumei smiled and said, "You are a fake, and you certainly don't deserve to be called the second lady."

After asking about the backlog of things, Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked Yumei to call Keying in.

It was getting late and she had to prepare to go to the main courtyard.

After some simple dressing up, she took Kexin Keying with her to the main courtyard.

If her adoptive father hadn't sent someone to invite him, she would have made excuses to refuse.

Moreover, she also wanted to know what would happen to Meng Wan after doing such a thing.

The three masters and servants hurried to the main courtyard.

Before he even got close, he saw two young men guarding the entrance of the courtyard.

"Eh? Why isn't it highland barley?"

Shen Jiaojiao was surprised. In the past, wasn't it always the Qingmai who was beside her adoptive mother who greeted her outside?

What exactly is going on?

With doubts, she followed the boy and walked to the main courtyard room.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit stagnant. When she saw Chen Yuanli, Shen Jiaojiao remembered that she had forgotten to ask about Aunt Zhou after she woke up.

I wonder how Aunt Zhou is doing now. Is there anything wrong with the baby in her belly?

Although her sworn brother sent someone to stop him, she still didn't know the specific situation that followed.

When Chen Yuanli saw her coming in, a glimmer of light burst out from his originally lifeless eyes, and he walked towards her eagerly.

"Jiaojiao..."

Shen Jiaojiao stepped aside, with a bit of disgust on her face, passed him, walked straight forward and saluted Master Meng.

"Father, Jiaojiao is here."

"Is my family still so open to outsiders?" Mr. Meng looked at her with a smile on his face, "Why are you so willful? You still refuse to talk to Yuan Li."

Seeing that her adoptive father looked very haggard, her heart felt heavy and her eyes were slightly red.

It was her fault that made her adoptive father worried.

"It doesn't matter. It's normal for Jiaojiao to be angry with me." Chen Yuanli said as he walked to Shen Jiaojiao and stood side by side with her.

"Huh!" She snorted coldly and turned to look at the man, "How is Aunt Zhou doing now? How is the baby in her belly?"

Chen Yuanli said awkwardly: "Don't worry, Ayan is fine. I've sent someone to send her to another hospital."

After hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao felt relieved, turned her head back, and stopped paying attention to him.

"Jiaojiao, listen to my explanation..."

Chen Yuanli smiled bitterly and reached out to pull her elbow, but she quickly dodged it.

"Don't touch me." She shouted coldly.

Mr. Meng was originally angry with his uncle, but seeing Shen Jiaojiao being so angry and worried that the young couple would have conflicts, he could only pinch his nose and make peace.

"Jiaojiao, don't do this. It's so rude."

Shen Jiaojiao glared at Chen Yuanli fiercely and explained loudly.

"Father, you don't know what he did before. If you knew, you would definitely ask me to reconcile with him!"

Chen Yuanli panicked, "Heli?!"

He never imagined that in the past, he had ignored his wife, doted on his concubines and destroyed her, and had done all the stupid things, but he could not get Shen Jiaojiao to say the word "harmony".

Today, she just failed to protect Aunt Zhou, but she actually opened her mouth to reconcile?
How did things turn out like this?

"Of course." Shen Jiaojiao sneered, looking at him as if she were looking at a cat or a dog, "Tiger poison doesn't eat its seeds, you can even give up your own flesh and blood, what else can't you give up?"

Chen Yuanli didn't expect that this was what she cared about.

Looking at Mr. Meng again, he seemed to be convinced by her words.

Chen Yuanli was completely panicked.

If Meng Wan did something like this, it would definitely not be easy for him, and Master Meng would not let it go.

Meng Wan will most likely lose her current status.

If he were to make peace with Shen Jiaojiao at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to kicking him out of the Meng family? !

"No! Jiaojiao, I don't want to make peace with you!"

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have been timid. I shouldn't have listened to Meng Wan's words. Please don't talk about reconciliation, okay? Give me a chance to atone."

Chen Yuanli ignored Master Meng's presence and begged her sadly.

He had studied hard in Hanchuang for so many years, he had been with Shen Jiaojiao for three years, and he finally had to go to Qiuwei. How could he fail now?
Shen Jiaojiao looked at him coldly.

At the moment, she has no plans to reconcile, but she just wants to show her attitude first and prepare for the reconciliation later.

"I……"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Meng who came from outside.

"Heli? Just right."
