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

Chapter 26 Weird
Ke Ying simply pulled Shen Jiaojiao's hair into a bun, without even wearing any beads, and the master and servant hurriedly walked into the flower hall.

Walking inside, Keying pointed to the garden.

Shen Jiaojiao looked in the direction of the finger and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Mrs. Jiang squatted among the flowers and grass, quietly looking at the immortelles on the branches.

She was wearing a moon-white embroidered dress and a fiery red mink fur coat, which was no less colorful than the room full of purples and reds.

Suddenly, the woman among the flowers raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, as if wiping away tears.

Shen Jiaojiao was slightly startled. Is Mrs. Jiang crying?
For a moment, she was in a dilemma, feeling like she was breaking into other people's privacy.

She turned her head and winked at Keying, wanting to leave the flower hall temporarily.

"Ah! Jiaojiao is here!"

Mrs. Jiang's voice came.

She turned around and looked over and found that Mrs. Jiang had stood up at some point and was waving to her happily.

She had no choice but to pretend she hadn't seen the previous scene and walked forward with a smile.

"Auntie." Shen Jiaojiao called out, gave a respectful half salute, then led her to the flower viewing area, stretched out her hand and made a 'please' gesture, "Please sit down."

Mrs. Jiang did not refuse and sat on the armchair on the left.

Shen Jiaojiao quickly sat down and asked Keying to serve tea.

"When I came to your yard, it felt like I was back home. I fell asleep as soon as I squinted my eyes." Mrs. Jiang took the initiative and said, "Jiaojiao won't blame me for squinting on your little couch, right?"

"How could it be? It's Jiaojiao's honor that Auntie likes this yard. Auntie will have to come here often in the future." She smiled and said pleasant words.

She said many of these pleasant words to her adoptive mother, and her adoptive mother felt a little happy every time she heard them.

Until Meng Wan returned, her flattering words turned into annoying flattery, and her adoptive mother no longer liked her.

"Since Jiaojiao said so, I will definitely come often."

Mrs. Jiang, however, cared less about her words and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.

"You're a child, you look like a fairy and you're so sweet in your words. My aunt really likes you."

It was the first time that someone praised her sincerely. She was a little shy. She couldn't help but lower her eyes and said with a blush, "Thank you for your support, Auntie. Jiaojiao also likes to talk to Auntie."

"It's a pity that you are already married, otherwise I would kidnap you and take you home." Madam Jiang changed her voice and mentioned Shen Jiaojiao's husband in a subtle way, "I heard that your husband married into Meng's house? He treats you badly. good?"

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed, recalling what Keying had just said.

Mrs. Chiang always seemed to be prying into her affairs.

Why is that?
"My husband treats me very well, of course." She said with a smile, "Thank you, madam, for your love. My husband and I live in harmony with each other and live in our own home. My life is very comfortable. Madam does not have to worry."

As soon as the word 'worry' came out, it almost named Mrs. Jiang's thoughts.

The smile on Mrs. Jiang's face immediately stopped.

Shen Jiaojiao knew that what she said was a bit too much, but she did not want to let Mrs. Jiang keep prying into her information and give her the illusion of being offended.

To her, Mrs. Chiang was just a stranger.

"Haha, I can see that you were well brought up by the Meng family. The furnishings in the house are very luxurious, and the etiquette is perfect."

Mrs. Jiang chuckled, sensing her resistance, and stopped asking about the secrets, and raised her hand to point to the flowers and grass.

"You are so good at taking care of the flowers and plants. You can actually bloom so many flowers in early winter. When I came in just now, I thought I had strayed into the spring mountains."

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyes to look at the flowers and plants, with a hint of warmth in her eyes.

"These are all taken care of by the servants, and the flowers and plants are all collected by my father and brother." She smiled slyly, "I don't care about these, I just come to the flower hall to look at these flowers and plants when I have nothing to do."

Mrs. Jiang on the side looked at her blankly, suddenly took out her handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes. Shen Jiaojiao froze on the spot and took a while to react.

Why did Mrs. Jiang shed tears suddenly?

Weren’t we just talking about flowers and plants? What's wrong with this? The governor's wife has never seen anything. Are ordinary flowers and plants worth her tears?

"My sister also likes to see flowers and plants." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile while wiping her tears.

Shen Jiaojiao opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, so she could only nod.

"I made you laugh, I'm sorry." Mrs. Jiang put away her handkerchief, "What you said reminded me of an old friend."

"It's Jiaojiao's honor to be like my aunt's old friend." Shen Jiaojiao made a small joke.

The hands hidden in the sleeves were clenched nervously, for fear that these words would cause Mrs. Jiang's displeasure.

She's not stupid. Madam Jiang mentioned "family sister" first and then said she was like an old friend. Doesn't this mean that Shen Jiaojiao looks like Madam Chiang's "family sister"?

Taking the initiative to make this joke was just a little trick on her part.

If Mrs. Jiang was offended, she would get up and apologize, thank the other party for protecting her in the main courtyard, and then see the guests off.

If it doesn't make you angry...

"You are such a good boy." Mrs. Jiang looked at her happily, the love in her eyes could not be hidden.

Shen Jiaojiao was dumbfounded and could only stand up as she had originally planned and gave the other party a standard thank you gift.

"Auntie, thank you for your protection. You still don't mind Jiaojiao's dirty body and protected me all the way back to the Pearl Courtyard."

After saying that, she leaned over and saluted again.

Mrs. Jiang quickly stood up, helped her up, and held her cold hands, "How are you doing in the Meng Mansion..."

As soon as the words came to her lips, Mrs. Jiang seemed to realize that she didn't like hearing them, and swallowed them back, with a smile on her face.

"I liked you very much the first time I saw you. I always felt that I was destined to you. If you don't dislike me, I want to recognize you as my adopted daughter."

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly widened, she quickly retracted her hand and looked at Mrs. Jiang in disbelief.

Mrs. Jiang's previous sentence clearly meant asking her how she was doing. Perhaps it was the adoptive mother's behavior of favoring Meng Wan that made Mrs. Jiang misunderstand that her life was difficult.

But what Mrs. Jiang said later was so strange!

If they recognized the marriage, Mrs. Jiang would be equivalent to her second mother. This means that although the Meng family and the Jiang family have no blood or marriage relationship, they have become relatives.

As the governor's wife, how could Mrs. Chiang not know what it meant to be related to a merchant?
Even if the Meng family does business outside in the name of relatives of the Jiang family in the future, the Jiang family will not be able to say no.

Shen Jiaojiao cannot comply with this request!
She swallowed her saliva and spoke with difficulty, "Auntie, I appreciate your love, but this is just a goddamn kiss..."

She paused and racked her brain for an excuse.

"Jiaojiao already has adoptive parents who love her very much. They treat me very well. If I accept another such a good godmother, wouldn't it be a slap in their face?"

The words were clever, which not only elevated Mrs. Chiang, but also showed that the Meng family was good to him.

Mrs. Jiang frowned and wanted to persuade her again.

Ke Xin suddenly opened the curtain and came in, looking at Shen Jiaojiao anxiously.

Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and spoke before Mrs. Jiang, "What's wrong? You're in a panic."

"Miss, Madam sent someone to invite you." Ke Xin lowered his head and whispered. .

"Maybe my adoptive mother is thinking about me, will my aunt go with me?" Shen Jiaojiao smiled and invited Mrs. Jiang.
