Chapter 29 Shame and Anger
This isn't right.

Shen Jiaojiao secretly glanced at her adopted brother, trying to see something on his face.

His face was always cold and indifferent. He noticed her gaze and glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

She hurriedly withdrew her gaze, not daring to look any further, muttering in her heart.

According to past experience, let alone attending banquets, my sworn brother rarely participated in gatherings held by literati.

She remembered that a long time ago, her adopted brother was willing to participate and came out on top almost every year.

Since taking over the Meng family's property, the sworn brother has gradually distanced himself from those occasions.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaojiao looked at Mrs. Meng, hoping that she would come to her senses and notice that something was wrong with her sworn brother.

Even Meng Wan, she looked at him several times.

Unfortunately, these two people didn't notice her glance at all. Mrs. Meng even chatted enthusiastically with everyone about the banquet held by the Jiang family in five days.

In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Jiang had already scheduled a plum blossom appreciation banquet five days later.

Shen Jiaojiao let out a long sigh.

She didn't dare to take the initiative to ask her adopted brother, so she could only bury her doubts in her heart for the time being.

There was a sudden itching on the side of my waist.

She frowned, looked down, and her eyes suddenly widened.

Using the clothes as a cover to avoid the eyes of everyone, the step-brother's big hands openly reached her side, tickling her slender waist again and again.

She looked blankly at the hand.

The whole face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the cheeks felt hot and hot.

The scene that happened last night appeared in my mind at an inappropriate time - the adopted brother pressed on her and kept moving, not letting her escape. She cried and complained that her waist hurt, so he gently rubbed her waist with his hands, without losing strength. .

The more Shen Jiaojiao thought about it, the more panicked she became. She couldn't help but shake her head, trying to shake out these charming pictures.

That scene seemed to have taken root in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it.

Suddenly a low "Jiaojiao" sound came from my ears.

She was so frightened that she suddenly raised her head, her red face exposed in front of everyone.

"What are you thinking about?" Meng Hui's voice sounded again.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head slowly, clenched her fists hard, and took small breaths to calm down the panic in her heart.

Fortunately, no one noticed her abnormality.

Listening to the low laughter coming from beside her, she was filled with shame and anger. She knew that her sworn brother was laughing at her, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl in and hide.

"What's wrong with Jiaojiao? Why do you keep your head down? Are you blaming your aunt for not inviting you?" Mrs. Jiang asked.

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head hurriedly, not daring to raise her head for fear of being seen with her face flushed.

"Uncle, aunt will invite Jiaojiao."

She almost squeezed out this sentence through her teeth.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and nodded, "That's natural. How about I send you an invitation alone then? When you come, I'll let your sister Jiang take you to play."

Shen Jiaojiao's lips moved but she didn't speak.

Meng Hui glanced at her and took over the conversation: "Auntie, please remember to invite more young masters."

"Hahahaha, you are so sharp-tongued."

Mrs. Jiang laughed, seeing that Meng Hui was trying to smooth things over for Shen Jiaojiao, and she liked Meng Hui even more.

"It's okay. A few of my girls won't suffer a loss if they lose to Jiaojiao."

This was in response to Meng Hui's previous statement that the future young lady of the Meng family should be like Shen Jiaojiao.

If Meng Hui doesn't like the Jiang girl, he will naturally lose to her.

At that time, the atmosphere of the dynasty was open, and there was no such thing as a big guard against men and women. Marriage between men and women, divorce and marriage were not important matters, and discussing marriage was the most normal thing.

Only those old-school families still observe death rituals.

Hearing Mrs. Jiang say this, Shen Jiaojiao shook her head in panic, raised her hands in front of her chest and swayed, denying in a repeated voice: "No, no, no, Auntie, please don't say that."

She ignored the troublesome hands around her waist, for fear of getting involved with her adopted brother.

Seeing that her eyes were red with anxiety, Mrs. Jiang quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Jiaojiao, my aunt just said it casually, why did you drop the golden beans?"

"No……"

She shook her head hesitantly, not daring to look at everyone's faces, for fear of seeing ridicule on their faces, and for fear of being spotted.

How can a woman who has been married for half a year be so unclear about her adopted brother?
She was anxious and panicked, and didn't dare to make any move. That damn hand was still rubbing it slowly, with the same strength as last night!
"Jiaojiao, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Mrs. Meng saw something was wrong and asked.

Shen Jiaojiao forced a smile and said, "It's okay, maybe it's a little stuffy in the room." She raised her hand and fanned her cheeks to show that she was very warm.

Blushing is all because of the heat, not any other reason!
Mrs. Meng smiled understandingly and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Jiaojiao never likes such occasions."

Shen Jiaojiao paused in her flapping hands and looked over in disbelief.

How could the adoptive mother say this?

Why did the adoptive mother say this?
She was only sad for a moment, and suddenly her soul was filled with happiness.

Today, the adoptive mother took Meng Wan to the Lin Mansion for a banquet, but did not take her with her. Maybe she left a bad impression on Mrs. Jiang at that time.

Just now, Mrs. Jiang said that she would leave a post for her alone, maybe she was reminding her adoptive mother.

So... the foster mother wanted to take this opportunity to put all the blame on her.

After understanding this, she felt desolate in her heart, feeling a little cold in her limbs, and the heat of her entire body gathered in her eyes, causing them to turn red and her vision gradually blurred.

The moment the tears fell, she hurriedly lowered her head and wiped away the tears quickly.

"Yes, I am happy."

She didn't deny it, nor did she expose the other party's lies, but continued on.

Because Mrs. Meng was talking to Mrs. Jiang, everyone's eyes were focused on the top, and few people noticed her little movements, let alone the cry in her voice.

Even Mrs. Jiang mistakenly thought she was really Xi Jing.

"Then Jiaojiao is willing to come to the plum appreciation banquet?" Mrs. Jiang said cautiously, "If you don't want to participate, that's okay."

Shen Jiaojiao said, "Yes" with a strong nasal voice, "Yes."

The hand that had been troubling her waist was quickly withdrawn.

The man's eyebrows moved slightly, and he turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Meng lightly, without any emotion in his eyes.

"I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."

Meng Hui stood up, then looked down at her, "Let's go."

The man was tall, and his slender body almost enveloped Shen Jiaojiao.

She raised her head in confusion, her eyes were red, and she looked at the man, her mouth opened into a small circle, "Me?"

Meng Hui still had the same indifferent expression, "I have something to ask you."

This time he added an excuse.

Shen Jiaojiao stood up as if waking up from a dream, her steps staggered and she almost bumped into Meng Hui.

She didn't care about anything else and just wanted to follow her adopted brother to escape from this sad place as soon as possible.

Meng Hui grabbed her wrist and pulled her out, ignoring the surprised looks of everyone present.

Everyone didn't know what happened and looked at Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Maybe there is something important." She smoothed things over for the two of them.

The two stopped in front of the main courtyard door.

Shen Jiaojiao felt as if her wrist bones were being kneaded by warm fingertips, and she was about to tremble when the other party let go of her hand.

She pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at her adopted brother.

Seeing that the man had his back turned to her and seemed to be leaving, she quickly said, "Brother...don't you have something to say?"

Meng Hui stopped and looked back at her with deep eyes, but said nothing and turned to leave again.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at her adopted brother's back blankly, feeling a little confused.

"Eh? Miss, why are you standing at the door?"

A steady female voice sounded from behind.

She turned around and looked over, and was a little surprised when she saw that the person coming was Yuzhu, the eldest maid in the sworn brother's courtyard, "Yuzhu? What are you..."

"Don't mention it, the young master left me behind." Yuzhu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There have been a lot of things lately."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded in understanding.

Suddenly, she wanted to betray her brother's previous promise.

With the mentality of giving it a try, she tentatively asked: "Yuzhu, can you give me the pot of drugged tea last night?"

 Thanks to Sister Chongchong for the reward of 100 reading coins, thank you for liking it!
