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

Chapter 236: No Interference
"It's not confirmed yet. Mr. Qian needs time." Meng Hun gently patted Shen Jiaojiao's back, silently comforting her.

"I just hope they can return safely." She sighed and continued to ask, "What's the situation outside?"

"More and more people are contracting coughs. I have sent people to inform Governor Jiang and Prefect Wei, but unfortunately..."

The man's eyes darkened and his tone became slightly cold.

"It's a pity that they didn't take it seriously and just attributed it to the cold weather and cough."

Shen Jiaojiao bit her lower lip, thought carefully for a moment, and then took the initiative to propose.

"Why don't I go talk to A-Lan and Jiang's stepmother? Who knows, maybe they can persuade Prefect Wei and Governor Jiang."

"It's too dangerous." Meng Hun disagreed.

"If the government can take this matter seriously, what does it matter if it's a little dangerous?"

"Jiaojiao." The man suddenly read her name solemnly.

"What's wrong?" She wanted to look back, but found that her black hair was pinched in the man's palm, pulling it out and causing a trace of pain, so she could only turn back.

His fingertips played with her hair, tangling it around and around.

Meng Hun's eyes flickered, "They don't even believe what I say."

Even the dignified Mr. Meng cannot gain the trust of the government, let alone a mere woman from the inner chamber?

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao immediately realized that she was too naive.

The government didn't seem to want to stop this, or maybe someone had given them a heads-up...

A person's face emerged in her mind - Prince Qing who suddenly came to Lin'an City and lived in the Lin Mansion.

"Is it Prince Qing?" she asked softly.

The man's eyebrows moved slightly, and seeing how smart and clever she was, he felt a little relieved in his heart.

"You are not allowed to interfere in this matter." Meng Hun said.

The matter was of great importance, and he would never let her get involved.

Shen Jiaojiao realized the seriousness of the situation from her brother-in-law's attitude, and her heart sank.

Did Prince Qing come to Lin'an just to investigate the injustice of the Shen family?
Could it be that this plague is related to the royal family?

Seeing her in a daze, Meng Hun knew that she was still thinking about the plague, so he simply pulled her into his arms and put his big hand dishonestly into her collar.

She turned around through the silk bellyband.

"Don't!" She blushed and held his hand. "What are you doing? We are talking about business!"

Meng Hun lowered his eyes to look at her and chuckled softly.

"I'm also doing something important." The last syllable was lightly hooked, carrying an unspeakable desire.

"You!" Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened with red at the corners of her eyes, making her look even more pitiful.

Meng Hun fell down with his arms around her waist, and with his other hand he lifted the quilt and covered them both tightly.

A soft moan escaped from the rolling quilt.

"Jiaojiao, were you the one who asked Yulan to come find me?" The man's question seemed a little abrupt.

"Well, don't be like this..."

"Why did you ask her to come find me?"

"She, she's not faithful. I don't want her."

There was a hint of sobbing in her voice, and she sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

"You can't push her towards me." The man snorted and pinched her chin, forcing her to open her eyes. "I've already punished her. Just tell her to stay with you. I'll feel more at ease."

"Do not……"

Before she could even utter the words of refusal, the man swallowed them all.

……

Day two.

Shen Jiaojiao woke up slowly and instinctively raised her hand to touch her side.

It feels cold to the touch.

Apparently, the man who slept here last night left early.

She raised her hand and pressed her temple, "Ke Xin, Keying..."

Ke Xin, who was outside, heard the noise and hurried in, "Miss, you're awake."

She uttered an "hmm" and sat up with Ke Xin's help.

She felt a faint pain in her waist, so she pressed it twice and habitually ordered: "Ask Aoxue to rub it for me..."

He suddenly fell silent in the middle of his words.

Ke Xin was also stunned for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly, "Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable? Although I am not as good as Aoxue, I can still massage you."

"Okay." Shen Jiaojiao lay on the bed.

After massaging for a while, Ke Xin suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Miss, Murong Zi sent someone to deliver a message."
