Chapter 31 Regret
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to believe a word, but she had to believe that things in the world were so unpredictable.

It just so happened that Meng Wan chose to take a desperate risk.

In Meng Wan's eyes, last night was probably the most favorable time and place - Meng Hui didn't have time to rectify the servants in the courtyard and was not at home, so the courtyard was empty.

She could guess why Meng Wan chose Qinghui Courtyard.

If Meng Wan was scheming elsewhere, she would be the first to be suspected. After all, the relationship between the two was tense.

Only in Qinghui Academy, no one suspected her.

Who dares to plot against Meng Hui's adopted sister at his residence?
Even if this behavior would anger Meng Hui, Meng Wan still had enough time to deal with everything before he returned home.

Unexpectedly, Meng Hui suddenly returned home.

The step-brother has a suspicious character. When he saw the servant sneaking around in the west wing, he would naturally go in to investigate. Then she also came to the west wing...

It's as if there is some divine will in the dark.

No, something's wrong.

There must be something strange that she didn't notice.

The more Shen Jiaojiao thought about it, the more confused she became. She couldn't help raising her hands and patting her cheeks, trying to wake herself up.

Yuzhu was so frightened that he held her hand down and said, "Don't do this."

"Jiaojiao, I know that you love my uncle so much that it doesn't matter even if you marry your concubines and stay alone in an empty house." Yuzhu looked at her with pity and tucked her hanging hair behind her ears, "But things have happened, you don't want to Don’t blame yourself anymore.”

Listening to Yuzhu's kind persuasion, Shen Jiaojiao frowned subconsciously.

What does it have to do with Chen Yuanli?

After thinking about it carefully, she understood Yuzhu's misunderstanding.

Others didn't know her real purpose of staying in the Meng Mansion. They only saw that she indulged Chen Yuanli without any bottom line. Even if she went to the point of doting on her concubine and destroying her wife, she still remained silent.

It really seems like I fell in love with Chen Yuanli...

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, not intending to explain.

"Actually, the young master is really good to you. The people from Qinghui Court spent the whole night investigating themselves. Guangshan found out early in the morning that it was Meng Wan who did it, but he suffered from the lack of actual evidence..." Yuzhu began to talk about this morning. Things that happened.

Shen Jiaojiao recalled it and remembered that before Meng Wan barged in, there had indeed been regular knocks on the door.

The adopted brother also went out for a trip.

Guangshan should have arrived at that time.

"The young master was afraid that you would be sad, so he didn't dare to tell you too early. He planned to give you an explanation directly after finding out the truth, so he didn't give you the tea." Yuzhu breathed out, "Finally, I have finished telling you. What happened is roughly That's it."

"Did I blame my sworn brother by mistake?" Shen Jiaojiao murmured.

"What?" Yuzhu didn't hear clearly.

She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts, but she felt that there were so many things and she couldn't figure it out.

Why don't you go get some tea first...

and many more!

Tea, tea? !

In a flash of lightning, she suddenly found a breakthrough.

"Sister Yuzhu, why did my sworn brother drink the tea in the west wing?" Shen Jiaojiao grabbed the only loophole, "my sworn brother always slept in the east wing, how could he drink the tea in the west wing?"

She repeated the question.

It seemed like he was asking Yuzhu, but also like he was asking himself.

"What happened to drinking the tea in the West Wing?" Yuzhu looked at her doubtfully, "Miss, you can't look at things with the perspective of hindsight. At that time, we didn't know that the tea was drugged."

Her expression was natural and her words were sincere.

"At that time, I was busy questioning the servants in the courtyard and didn't have time to prepare tea. Besides, the young master came back from outside. He was tired and thirsty. It's normal for him to drink a cup of tea."

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned.

Is it normal?
But... a cautious person like my adopted brother...

There was hesitation in her eyes, and she wanted to ask again, but Yuzhu spoke before her.

"Are you still asking why Meng Wan can break in?"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "Well, Qinghui Courtyard is my sworn brother's territory. Without my sworn brother's permission, how could Meng Wan break in at will..."

"Jiaojiao, you are wrong again." Yuzhu interrupted her, "In the eyes of the second young lady, the young master was not in the mansion at that time, and there were a group of servants in Qinghui Courtyard, and she had an inside job."

"No, Sister Yuzhu, you lied to me." A trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, "Even if my sworn brother cannot come forward, why didn't you stop Meng Wan?"

Yuzhu is the eldest maid next to her adopted brother, and even her adopted mother has to give her three points of thin noodles.

If Yuzhu stood up, how could Meng Wan dare to force his way in?
"I was dealing with the alienated slave, so I didn't care about this."

Saying that, Yuzhu nodded, seeming to understand Shen Jiaojiao's inquisitive mood.

"Keep asking, don't hold it in your heart."

"It's still wrong." Shen Jiaojiao turned her head and looked at the woman beside her, her voice hard.

"Even if you are not here, where are the two hidden guards beside my sworn brother?"

The pity in Yuzhu's eyes became heavier, "They will only take action when the young master's life is in danger."

The implication is that the situation this morning cannot force them to take action.

"The young master didn't expect that Meng Wan would dare to break in." Yu Zhu added.

Shen Jiaojiao's hanging heart fell heavily.

If things were really as Yuzhu said, why didn't the sworn brother tell her directly?

Why hide it?

Besides... Yuzhu's answer was too flawless.

It was like he had predicted her questions in advance and was fully prepared.

She even suspected that no matter what question she asked, Yuzhu would give a perfect answer.

But then I thought about it, why would my sworn brother go to such trouble to harm her? With the sworn brother's abilities, it was an easy task to make Meng Wan Chen Yuanli's first wife.

There is no need to compromise his own innocence.

Thinking of this, the doubt in Shen Jiaojiao's heart completely dissipated.

She seemed to have mistaken her adopted brother...

"So that's it." She lowered her eyelids, with a bitter smile on her face, "I always thought that my sworn brother and Meng Wan... alas! I was wrong!"

"Of course you are wrong." Yuzhu scolded her with a straight face, "Why have you suddenly alienated the young master these years? He cares about you, but he doesn't dare to ask in detail for fear of making you angry."

care?

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened and she looked at Yuzhu.

No, if her adopted brother treats her so harshly, why does he care?

"You don't believe it? Do you know that the young master rushed back this time just for you?"

"for me?"

"Yes, for you." Yuzhu nodded affirmatively, "The young master has been running around for half a year, just to deal with something extremely important to the Meng family, and it can be completed in only two days."

"But when he heard others saying that you got married half a year ago, he dropped everything and hurried back."

This was the first time Shen Jiaojiao heard about this matter.

"How, how is it possible?" She denied flatly, "My adoptive mother clearly said that my adopted brother is away on business and will not be able to come back in time, so let us..."

She choked and swallowed all the rest of her words.

It turns out that her adoptive father and mother hid the secret from her adopted brother. She always thought that her adopted brother knew that she was getting married, but he just went out and couldn't come back in time.

No wonder...no wonder when the step-brother saw her the day before yesterday, he was stunned on the spot, his eyes were so obscure that she couldn't understand.

Now that I think about it, my sworn brother must be regretting it.

I regret not being able to watch her get married and witness her happiness.

After thinking everything through, Shen Jiaojiao became increasingly annoyed.

She shouldn't have said such harsh words to her adopted brother. He was clearly the closest person to her besides her adopted father and mother.

"We're here." Yuzhu's voice suddenly sounded.

When she came back to her senses, she was surprised to find that the two of them had arrived at the entrance of Qinghui Courtyard.

Looking at the courtyard that was causing her so much pain, she subconsciously stopped and didn't dare to take a step forward.

"The young master should be in the study at this time. Do you want to see the eldest lady?" Yuzhu asked her softly.
