Chapter 27 Reconciliation
Mrs. Jiang glared at Kexin several times displeasedly, and when she turned to face Shen Jiaojiao, she became warm again.

"That's right. I've been staying in your yard for a while. Mrs. Meng should be anxious."

Shen Jiaojiao pretended that she did not understand the deep meaning of Mrs. Jiang's words, and took the other person's arm with a smile.

When Mrs. Jiang saw her taking the initiative to get close to her, most of her anger at Ke Xin's sudden intrusion disappeared. She raised her hand and patted the delicate little hand on her arm.

"Come on, let's go together."

After saying that, the two of them walked out of the flower hall laughing and walking towards the main courtyard.

Kexin and Keying followed.

Ke Xin was frightened by Mrs. Jiang's sharp gaze. She hurriedly pulled Ke Ying's sleeve beside her and cast her eyes for help.

The two maids whispered to their ears.

"Good sister, did I say something wrong just now?" Ke Xin asked.

"No, don't panic. It's none of your business. It's just that the young lady and Mrs. Jiang are having a fight." Ke Ying looked at Mrs. Jiang's back thoughtfully, "Mrs. Jiang treats our young lady very differently."

Ke Xin looked disapproving, "I don't think so. What Mrs. Jiang just said was clearly a slap in the face."

"How do you say it?" Keying teased her.

"Look, our young lady said that the madam was worried about her, but Mrs. Jiang rushed to say that the madam was worried about her, Madam Jiang. Isn't this a slap in the young lady's face?"

"Yes, yes, you are observant." Ke Ying pulled her, reminded her to follow closely, and then explained to her in detail.

"This is the first time that Miss Jiang met Madam Jiang today. She can tell Madam's attitude towards Miss from the smallest details. If she didn't care about Miss, how could she have said that? Just look back."

Ke Xin suddenly realized, "It turns out there is still this meaning."

"Okay, don't think about it, let's go quickly." Ke Ying pulled Ke Xin forward.

The distance between the Pearl Courtyard and the main courtyard is not that far. A few people walked for a while and then they arrived.

When Mrs. Meng saw Mrs. Jiang walking in holding Shen Jiaojiao's hand, talking and laughing, her face was angry for a moment, but she soon regained her composure.

She originally wanted Meng Wan to fall into Madam Jiang's eyes and gain a foothold among the noble ladies of Lin'an City.

Unexpectedly, she made Shen Jiaojiao's wedding dress instead.

"I've been waiting for you to come back." Mrs. Meng stood up, went to greet Mrs. Jiang, and smiled at Mrs. Jiang: "Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang is here. When the two sisters quarrel regardless of the occasion, I don't know which one to appease them first. "

Anyone who saw the whole process of Meng Wan pushing Shen Jiaojiao down could tell that Mrs. Meng favored her own daughter.

What I say now is just a forced explanation.

Shen Jiaojiao felt the arms in her hands tighten suddenly, and quickly turned her head to look at Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang was seen with a sullen face, and the smile on her face had disappeared, adding a bit of majesty to an official wife.

"What did the foster mother say? Why would Jiaojiao care about her sister?" Shen Jiaojiao let go of Mrs. Jiang's hand, with a modest smile on her face, "Besides, my sister made the mistake unintentionally."

On normal days, she would not speak for Meng Wan at all.

But now there are many people and she doesn't want her stepmother to be embarrassed in front of everyone.

Furthermore, she had seen Madam Chiang's love for her at the Pearl Courtyard, so if Madam Chiang wanted to stand up for her...

It would be better for her to take the initiative to lighten the atmosphere.

"Jiaojiao has a very good heart." Mrs. Jiang's expression softened a bit and she praised Shen Jiaojiao.

Mrs. Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to glare at Meng Wan.

"Rebellious girl, why don't you come over quickly and apologize to your sister!"

Meng Wan walked forward with small steps and bowed humbly to Shen Jiaojiao.

Only then did Shen Jiaojiao notice that Meng Wan had also gone back to freshen up. She seemed to be dressed up and put on a delicate pink dress, which made her look more delicate than a flower.

"Sister, I'm sorry, Wan'er accidentally tripped on the threshold earlier, causing you to fall."

As he said that, he picked up the handkerchief and touched his eyes. His eyes instantly turned red and tears began to fall down.

Shen Jiaojiao was extremely sensitive to smells, and the two of them were so close that they could easily smell the smell of chili peppers.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and laughed at her fuss.

This is Meng Wan.

How could Meng Wan be willing to bow her head and admit her mistake? It must have been the foster mother who said something to Meng Wan. After all, many respectable ladies were present today, and even an outsider like Mrs. Jiang could see something was wrong.

If Meng Wan's reputation of being jealous of her adopted sister spreads, how will she see anyone in the future?

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her eyelids, covering the surging thoughts in her eyes, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, my sister is also careless. Next time, you should be careful about the path you step on."

Her voice is soft and gentle, her face is cute, she wears no makeup, and with her snow-white dress and plain bun, she looks even more elegant like a fairy.

The dressed-up Meng Wan stood opposite her and was instantly compared to her.

Meng Wan obviously noticed the astonished looks of others, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

If her adoptive brother and adoptive father hadn't been watching carefully, she would have gotten rid of the annoying woman in front of her.

Shen Jiaojiao was vaguely aware of the unkind glances from the other side. She raised her eyes and looked over, but she only saw Meng Wanxuan's face that was about to cry.

She withdrew her gaze and stood quietly.

"As long as the two sisters reconcile, it will be fine." Mrs. Meng smiled to smooth things over. She held Meng Wan in one hand and Shen Jiaojiao in the other, and put their hands together.

"You two are doing well, I'll be relieved for you, mother."

An imperceptible twist flashed across Meng Wan's face, she forced a smile and took the initiative to hold Shen Jiaojiao's hand.

"It's good that my sister isn't angry with me."

Shen Jiaojiao smiled slightly, stretched out her other right hand, and patted the back of Meng Wan's hand, "Why would sister be angry with you? Stop crying. It won't look good if your makeup is stained by crying."

Hearing this, Meng Wan lowered her head suddenly and looked at the embroidered shoes under her feet.

A delicate little face became increasingly distorted.

Damn Shen Jiaojiao!

Shen Jiaojiao must be mocking her for not being good-looking. One day she will scratch that annoying face!

"Why are the two sisters standing at the door and not going in?"

Suddenly a familiar deep voice came from behind.

Shen Jiaojiao's breathing became faster, feeling the blood in her body surging, and a blush gradually appeared on her cheeks.

She also lowered her head and did not dare to speak.

Why is my adopted brother here? Doesn't he hate this kind of situation the most?

Mrs. Meng smiled happily and waved to Meng Hui, "Ah Hui, come quickly, my mother is looking for you."

Meng Hui's arrival made Shen Ning's scene much more lively.

Especially the ladies who brought their daughters with them all turned their admiring glances towards Meng Hui.

They had all heard from their masters that Meng Hui was the actual helmsman of the Meng family, and he had opened up the Meng family's business all over the country at a young age.

From princes and nobles to ordinary people, there is no one he cannot make friends with.

Not to mention that he is nearly 20 years old, not yet married, and he is clean and self-sufficient.

In the eyes of the nobles in Lin'an City, Meng Hui was a first-class son-in-law.

Everyone was seated quickly.

Mrs. Jiang has the most distinguished status and still sits on the left side of the leader.

Mrs. Meng sat on the right side, and Meng Hui sat below Mrs. Meng.

Meng Wan did not dare to humiliate herself and sit next to Meng Hui, for fear that her eldest brother would disgrace her in front of everyone, so she had no choice but to look at Shen Jiaojiao and wait for her to sit down first.

Mrs. Jiang waved to Shen Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, come sit here with Auntie."

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at the empty seat next to Meng Hui, then at Mrs. Jiang, and decisively chose Mrs. Jiang.

He doesn’t want to be so close to his sworn brother, let him sit affectionately with the Meng Wan brother and sister!
She was about to walk to the left when Meng Hui's voice suddenly came from the right.

"Jiaojiao, come here."

 Thank you sisters for your love, I love you~
