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

Chapter 30 Digging a hole for her
"Tea?" Yuzhu tilted his head slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, "Drugated?"

Shen Jiaojiao turned her face sideways, looked in the direction Meng Hui left, and then nodded seriously.

"Well, it's the tea that my sworn brother drank last night."

Her face turned red, and she didn't know how to describe it, so she lowered her head.

Last night, she asked for water several times in the west wing of Qinghui Courtyard, which was all handled by Yuzhu himself. It was Yuzhu who sent her back to Mingzhu Courtyard this morning.

Yuzhu knows best what happened between her and her adopted brother.

Seeing her blushing with embarrassment, Yuzhu covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes full of teasing.

"No wonder the young master has been unhappy just now. It turns out that he was frustrated by the eldest lady."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked over, "What do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean..." Yuzhu looked at her red cheeks with interest, stretched out his hand, and rubbed the cold back of his hand.

"Hiss, it's so hot."

"Sister Yuzhu!"

She was so angry that she stamped her feet and slapped Yuzhu's hand away, "I'm talking to you about business, how could you tease me like this!"

"The real murderer." Yuzhu covered the back of his hand that was red from being slapped. Seeing that Shen Jiaojiao's face turned pale with anger, he quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Shen Jiaojiao snorted and turned away.

Yuzhu was two years older than Meng Hui. He had been with Meng Hui since he was a child and had served him for more than ten years.

When she was a child, she had a good relationship with her adopted brother, and she also had a good relationship with Yuzhu. Yuzhu has a steady temperament and always acts like a big sister in front of her.

She also softly called Yuzhu her elder sister for many years.

"Come, let's talk over here." Yuzhu pulled her to a secret part of the small garden and reminded her, "Be careful that the walls have ears."

"You still have to be so careful in your own yard?"

Yuzhu scratched her nose and said, "You have to be careful about villains. The eldest lady has suffered such a big loss. Why hasn't she gained a memory?"

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes turned red.

"Then why didn't Sister Yuzhu stop me?"

She was upset.

When I entered Qinghui Courtyard last night, the gate was clearly guarded.

Why didn't anyone stop her and tell her that her adopted brother had been drugged and told her not to go there?
Why do you have to watch her fall into the tiger's mouth?
Hearing this choked question, Yuzhu's eyes flashed with self-blame, and he sighed deeply, "Oh, let's not talk about this anymore."

No one expected such a thing to happen.

In order not to make her too sad, Yuzhu changed the topic to a topic that she might like.

"Have you noticed that the young master has been at home all day?"

"Yes." Shen Jiaojiao replied.

Compared with the past, when he left early and came home late, today's adopted brother was indeed unusual and appeared in front of her several times.

"The young master deliberately stayed in the house to protect you."

Shen Jiaojiao's pupils trembled, showing a shocked and confused expression.

These words confirmed some of her previous conjectures, that her sworn brother really stayed in the house for her.

A strong joy welled up deep inside.

The sworn brother really still feels sorry for her!

She took several deep breaths to calm down her excitement.

"Seeing that you are having a hard time in the house, the young master feels very sorry for you, and specifically told me to take care of you more." Yuzhu said warmly, "If you have something to do in the future, don't keep it in your heart. Come and tell your sister."

The last sentence was a bit transgressive, but Yuzhu said it anyway.

Yuzhu has almost watched her grow up, and he knows what this girl desires most in her heart - even though she knows the difference between master and servant, Shen Jiaojiao will still call Yuzhu 'sister' when she is in a hurry.

She longed for the love of her relatives so much.

The word 'adopted daughter' weighed on her head like a mountain, reminding her all the time that she was a person without a family. Especially after Meng Wan returned, she became more cautious, thinking that she was the dove occupying the magpie's nest, and she was more tolerant to Meng Wan.

It was just as Yuzhu expected.

Although Shen Jiaojiao had a look of emotion on her face, she quickly regained her composure and shook her head with a wry smile, "Can you give me the tea last night?"

She circled back again, obsessed with tea.

"Of course you can. The young master said he can give it to you, so that's fine." Yuzhu nodded her nose, "Will you follow me to Qinghui Courtyard to get it?"

The tea is placed in Qinghui Courtyard. If you want it, you can only go there.

She hesitated for a moment and agreed.

The two of them walked towards Qinghui Courtyard.

On the way, Yuzhu turned his head frequently and looked at her thoughtfully, which made her feel scared.

"Sister Yuzhu, if you have something to do, just say it directly. If you keep looking at me like this, I feel panicked." Shen Jiaojiao said.

Yuzhu didn't show off, and asked directly: "Miss, have you misunderstood the young master? Do you think that the young master and the second young lady are working together to plot against you?"

Shen Jiaojiao looked surprised, not expecting that the other party could easily expose her speculation.

Seeing her expression, Yuzhu knew that he had guessed correctly, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, why are you so stupid? How could the young master plot against you, my childhood sweetheart, for Meng Wan?"

Then he bumped Shen Jiaojiao's shoulder with his shoulder, "In the eyes of the young master, you are much closer than the second young lady."

She buried her head and muttered, "No, my step-brother is cold and not easy to get close to at all."

How could it be a misunderstanding?
She asked her questions clearly, but her sworn brother refused to explain. It was obvious that she had guessed what he was thinking.

The sworn brother is just for Meng Wan...

Uh, no.

Would the sworn brother even care about his own innocence for Meng Wan?
Shen Jiaojiao felt a little confused.

Seeing her troubled face, Yuzhu sighed softly and planned to tell her everything that happened last night to prevent her from thinking wildly.

"Jiaojiao, you know that the young master was supposed to live outside last night, right?"

"I know, my sworn brother said he would stay outside."

This is also the reason why she went to Qinghui Courtyard to look for her adopted brother last night.

Why did the sworn brother suddenly return home when he was supposed to be outside and send a servant to invite her over?
Last night, she mistakenly thought that something happened outside. Her adopted brother wanted to invite the whole family to Qinghui Garden to announce it. The unfamiliar boy couldn't wait to tell her in detail and went to other courtyards to report...

Who would have thought that this was the hole Meng Wan dug for her!
Seeing that her eyes were red again and tears were hanging at the end of her eyes, Yuzhu knew that she was remembering last night again, so he quickly comforted her softly.

After her mood stabilized, Yuzhu continued.

"Last night, the young master suddenly remembered that there was something in the house that had not been dealt with, so he rushed back overnight.

"As soon as I stepped into Qinghui Courtyard, I saw a young boy sneaking out of the west wing and trying to escape.

"The young master sent someone to arrest him, but who would have thought... the hidden guard killed the man by mistake.

"This young man is very unfamiliar. He must have just started working in Qinghui Courtyard. The young master saw that he was acting suspiciously, so he simply walked into the west wing to check and drank the tea on the table by mistake..."

Yuzhu paused and nodded to Shen Jiaojiao, "You know what happened next."

"I know." Shen Jiaojiao responded.

The people from Qinghuiyuan quietly invited the doctors, but the doctors were helpless. Yuzhu had no choice but to look for the person, but she broke in...

Yuzhu touched her head and apologized in a low voice: "Jiaojiao, I'm sorry, it's not that we didn't stop you, it was the young master who ordered you to come to Qinghui Court without notification."

As he said that, there was a hint of pity in Yuzhu's eyes.

"I wasn't there at the time, and the boy guarding the door didn't even know that the young master had been drugged..."

In Yuzhu's words, what happened last night was an accident that couldn't be more coincidental for everyone.

Shen Jiaojiao felt dizzy after hearing this and refused to believe it.

The sworn brother is also a victim?
