Chapter 10 Calculation
The blush slowly crept up to her neck, followed by her cheeks, and soon her entire face was red.

The embroidery from the year before last has long been out of date, so why would my adopted brother wear it now?
Shen Jiaojiao did not dare to think deeply about the meaning, so she could only bury her head deeper and force herself to look away and stop looking at the golden belt.

"Shen Jiaojiao, you..."

Meng Hui was about to speak when she interrupted him hastily.

"Brother, can you hand over the pot of drugged tea to me?"

The tea in her mouth was the culprit that caused Meng Hui to lose consciousness and force her to do it last night.

Yuzhu, the eldest maid of Qinghui Academy, took the initiative to inform her about this——

Meng Hui drank the pot of tea by mistake and was poisoned. He asked the doctor to see him but they couldn't deal with it, so he asked a maid to take care of him.

Unexpectedly, Yuzhu was still looking for someone, and Shen Jiaojiao bumped into it...

Shen Jiaojiao believed this statement.

My sworn brother has always been cautious. He has been in and out of shopping malls for many years and has never been tricked by anyone.

If you don’t have peace of mind about your food at home, how could you be infected?

However, she couldn't figure out how Meng Wan succeeded. It was not easy to drug the righteous brother's courtyard.

"Shen Jiaojiao, don't you believe me?" Meng Hui stared at her thoughtfully.

Although the word '?' is added at the end, what is said is a declarative sentence.

The charm in the air completely dissipated and was covered with frost.

"Brother, I don't!" Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly explained, "Both you and I know that last night... there was something wrong with the pot of tea! I want to find someone to check what the medicine in the tea is and find out who is behind it."

She deliberately expressed all her thoughts and acted magnanimously, but did not say that she had placed someone in the house.

The sworn brother is very clever. If he discovers the existence of Uncle Mo and others, it will be easy to find them...

Meng Hui narrowed his eyes, his sharp eyes focused on her, as if he wanted to see through her.

The surroundings were eerily silent, except for the sound of the lake water.

She was so guilty that she lowered her head gradually and her voice became weaker and weaker.

"I don't want any more tea."

Her voice trembled slightly, she was extremely afraid of him.

Meng Hui looked at the helpless woman in front of him quietly.

She lowered her head, her face was pale, and her neck was completely covered by her high-collar skirt, leaving only a small section of green hair outside. Her thin body trembled slightly in the cold wind.

As he watched, anger arose inexplicably in his heart, and he turned around and walked away.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't dare to ask, let alone stay. She didn't dare to raise her head until she couldn't hear the footsteps anymore.

Her eyes unconsciously searched for the man's figure. Only after she was sure that he was not there did she dare to leave.

Pearl Courtyard.

Seeing the young lady rushing into the house without saying a word, Kexin quickly followed her.

"Miss, who made you angry?"

Ke Xin offered a cup of hot tea, but seeing that she refused to take it, he had to put it on the table.

"No one!" Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and looked unhappy.

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Ke Xin didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject: "Aoxue and Mo Wei are outside. Do you want to ask them to come in and have a look?"

"Okay." Shen Jiaojiao nodded.

Kexin opened the curtain and walked out, and not long after, two women dressed as maids came in.

The two of them saluted Shen Jiaojiao respectfully, "Miss."

Shen Jiaojiao leaned on the small couch and looked at the two of them carefully.

The one with fair skin and delicate appearance is Aoxue, who has superb medical skills; the one who boldly raises his head and looks around is Mo Wei, she is Mo Gan's own daughter, and has great boxing and kicking skills.

In addition to being prepared for Meng Wan's insidious methods by letting the two of them enter the house, she also wanted Aoxue to find out what medicine Meng Wan had taken last night and take down the pharmacy that provided the intoxicating medicine.

"Uncle Mo is so quick in his work. He put you two into the house in the blink of an eye."

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes were dark, and she looked at the new maid coldly, imitating her adopted brother's usual way of losing his temper.

Huapinge is the stronghold of Mo Gan and others. This morning she asked Ke Xin to take the token to ask for the person, and at noon the other party sent the person in without arousing the suspicion of the Meng family.

It can be seen that their power is not weak.

What worries her even more is that she has no control over this force. She could only force herself to calm down and try to hold these people in her palms.

Aoxue and Aoxue looked at each other and hurriedly knelt down.

"The eldest lady is joking." Aoxue took two steps and knelt at Shen Jiaojiao's feet, looking up at her.

"Everything we do is for you, Miss. We only follow your orders without any second thoughts."

"Yes, yes!" Mo Wei nodded repeatedly.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't say she believed it, nor did she say she didn't believe it.

Now it was Mo Gan who wanted something from her. She did not need to test their loyalty, as long as these two people were obedient and sensible and protected her safety.

After saying a few thoughtful words, she asked Ke Xin to take Mo Wei for resettlement first.

Aoxue immediately stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Miss, are you injured?"

Shen Jiaojiao didn't show any pretense, and lifted up half of her collar, "Aoxue, help me see if these marks can fade away as soon as possible?"

Based on her past experience, Meng Wan would never give up, and there might be something wrong today.

The marks on the body must be dealt with as soon as possible!
Aoxue looked carefully and found that they were all bruises.

"Miss, this mark will not disappear within three to five days. I have a powder on my hand, which can cover the mark when applied. It is very strong. Unless I use special potion, it will be difficult to rub it off."

"Okay." Shen Jiaojiao nodded gently.

After Aoxue brought the powder and applied it on her, she felt completely relieved and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Aoxue's expression turned extremely ugly.

After hesitating for a moment, Aoxue seemed to have made up her mind and asked quietly and firmly: "Miss, do you need to see your body?"

Shen Jiaojiao paused and looked at Aoxue inquiringly.

"How did you see it? I thought I hid it well."

"Young lady is hiding it really well. If I hadn't put on the powder for you just now, I wouldn't have been able to tell." Aoxue thought for a while and then advised, "My uncle is so ridiculous, why don't you leave the Meng Mansion?"

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle.

Aoxue had superb medical skills. He saw that she was new to human affairs and misunderstood that she and Chen Yuanli performed the Zhougong ceremony because he was worried about her situation.

In which house the main wife and the mother-in-law consummate the marriage only half a year after getting married?
It's just that Aoxuehui was wrong. She and Chen Yuanli were not actually married.

Moving her eyes upward, Shen Jiaojiao looked in the direction of the outer courtyard, her voice slightly cold, "Him? I don't like him."

After saying that, she raised her eyes to look at Aoxue, her eyes wary.

"You have great medical skills and are smart and sharp. Why do you want to wade into the troubled waters of the Shen family?"

Aoxue did not hesitate at all and replied: "It is not muddy water for me. I am lucky enough to be with the young lady. Aoxue is very grateful."

A smile appeared on that delicate face.

"Miss, you don't know. My father was once a doctor in the Shen family. He was able to survive because of the care of General Shen. The person he missed most during his lifetime was you. I will definitely take good care of you."

Shen Jiaojiao suddenly realized that there was still such a relationship between Aoxue and the Shen family. No wonder Uncle Mo told her not to worry.

What kind of person is General Shen?

Why do people still want to rehabilitate him after more than ten years of death? There are even people like Aoxue who specifically look for his descendants to repay their kindness.

She became even more curious about her biological father who died early.

After she finished speaking, Aoxue checked her body again and tested the ointment that Meng Hui had sent her earlier.

"Miss, you can continue to use this ointment. I will go to the small kitchen to keep an eye on it and prepare some light and anti-inflammatory meals for you."

"You can also make medicinal meals?" Shen Jiaojiao was curious.

"Know a little bit."

"Then you go." Shen Jiaojiao waved her hand and asked people to get off.

After lunch, Kexin walked in in a panic.

"Miss, someone came to the front yard and said that the restaurant owner is visiting. The housekeeper asked you to send the person away."

Shen Jiaojiao frowned slightly, "Where are the others?"

When will it be her turn to take care of the Meng Mansion's affairs?

Even if the adopted brother is not at home, the adopted father and mother cannot let her interfere!
