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

Chapter 35 Own Arrangement (Additional Updates)
Meng Hui lowered his head and glanced at Shen Jiaojiao with a calm expression.

"Think about it yourself."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head hastily.

She was a little out of breath when her adopted brother looked at her, and she even stuttered when she spoke.

Under the gaze of her adopted brother, she felt inexplicably panicked, always feeling that a storm was brewing under his calm face.

"Since the eldest brother has agreed, let's deal with it this way." Chen Yuanli couldn't hide the joy on his face, and he looked at her with a moved expression.

"Jiaojiao, I'm in trouble for you."

Meng Hui's eyes flashed and he looked at Chen Yuanli, his eyes cold and without any warmth, "Take good care of Meng Wan."

Leaving this sentence behind, he turned and left.

Shen Jiaojiao and Chen Yuanli stood there, looking at each other, and did not react for a long time.

"Miss!"

The eldest maid in Hanliyuan was the first to pounce on Meng Wan, fearing that she would faint on the ground and eat something, and also fear that she would be frozen.

Chen Yuanli came to his senses and ran to look after Meng Wan.

Only Shen Jiaojiao stood there in a daze, and belatedly realized that her adopted brother seemed to be angry with her just now.

Could it be that she was dissatisfied with how she treated her maid?

Or... the sworn brother saw that he was using him?
She suddenly became flustered, her hands hanging at her sides were clenched into fists, and her fingertips were slightly white from exertion.

……

This farce quickly spread throughout the entire Meng Mansion.

After Mrs. Meng heard this, she was so angry that she threw three tea cups, and then asked the servant to send a message that breakfast would be placed in the main courtyard.

"Highland Barley, come and press it for me." Mrs. Meng waved to Highland Barley, "My temples are sore."

"Yes." Qingmai responded respectfully and stepped forward.

While massaging Mrs. Meng's head, she persuaded softly: "Why should Madam be angry? It's just a concubine. No matter what, she can't surpass the lady."

In the main courtyard, there is only one 'young lady', and that is Meng Wan.

"When I think of her on Wan'er's head, I feel uncomfortable." Mrs. Meng's teeth itched with hatred, "She still dares to directly carry a concubine to Chen Yuanli. Is she going to compete with Wan'er?"

This 'she' refers to Shen Jiaojiao.

Qingmai thought for a while and said something fair for Shen Jiaojiao, "The eldest lady has always been a naughty person. I think it was my uncle who put pressure on her."

"Are you speaking for her?" Mrs. Meng brushed Qingqi's hand away, showing dissatisfaction.

"Madam, I'm just talking about the matter." Qingmai knelt on the ground and spoke sincerely, "I heard a message and came back, saying that it was the eldest lady that my uncle sent to invite on his own initiative."

"You mean, Chen Yuanli asked Shen Jiaojiao to protect that cheap maid?" Mrs. Meng thought for a moment, and her voice gradually deepened, "You are right, Jiaojiao has always been submissive, how could she dare to do so without Chen Yuanli's instructions? Taking charge of raising a concubine?"

Qingqi lowered his eyelids and did not answer.

"It seems that our Meng family fed him too much. He thought he could fly when his wings became stiff!" Mrs. Meng slammed the desk hard, "Let's go to the main room!"

"Yes." Qingmai stood up and carefully helped Mrs. Meng to walk towards the main room.

……

When Shen Jiaojiao received the news from the main courtyard, she was about to call the small kitchen to prepare food.

When she learned that it was her adoptive mother who asked for the invitation, she felt enlightened.

It must be what happened in Hanliyuan this morning and it must have reached the ears of the adoptive mother.

"I'll give these to you for yourselves." She asked Ke Xin to take down the meal and prepare to leave for the main courtyard.

Seeing that Kexin wanted to follow, she shook her head and refused, "As long as Keying follows, you stay in the Pearl Courtyard and put the smile on your face back."

Kexin's smiling face froze for an instant, and she reluctantly said "oh".

"My uncle wants to take a concubine, but you can still laugh at it." Ke Ying gave Ke Xin an angry look.

Ke Xin pursed her lips, "Anyway, if the second lady is not happy, I will be happy."

How many grievances have their young ladies suffered from the second young lady in the past six months? It was rare to see the second young lady suffer a loss, so of course she had to laugh her ass off. "That's true." Keying herself wanted to laugh.

"Okay, you two, stop bickering." Shen Jiaojiao held her forehead helplessly, "Keying, let's go."

The master and servant walked towards the main courtyard.

When he walked to the entrance of the main courtyard, he met Meng Wan with a sad look on his face.

A flash of surprise flashed in Shen Jiaojiao's eyes, and she hurriedly greeted her, "Wan'er, why are you here?"

Meng Wan sneered, "Why can't I come? Do I have to stay in the yard, waiting for you to take a concubine for your husband?"

"It was Yuan Li who sent someone to look for me this morning..." Shen Jiaojiao deliberately showed a embarrassed expression, "And I think Yuan Li also likes that maid, so I can't make it difficult for him."

Hearing this, Meng Wan was so angry that she trembled all over.

When she thought that she had snatched that maid from Shen Jiaojiao and crawled onto Chen Yuanli's bed in her courtyard, Meng Wan was so angry that she felt like eating Shen Jiaojiao alive.

"Don't let me find out that there's your handiwork in it, or I'll make you walk around without food!"

After saying this angrily, Meng Wan walked into the main courtyard and cried to Mrs. Meng.

Only the master and servant Shen Jiaojiao were left at the door.

"Miss..." Keying looked at Shen Jiaojiao worriedly, "It's okay to offend the second young lady. If the madam is tired of you, what should I do?"

Ke Ying didn't know that she had lost her virginity because of Meng Wan's scheme, she just felt that her young lady had become tougher on the second young lady since yesterday.

Not that it's a bad thing.

It's just... if the madam's attitude is cold, it will be my young lady who will be sad later.

Thinking of this, Keying sighed again, feeling worried.

"Don't worry, let's go in." Shen Jiaojiao looked calm and walked in after speaking.

Chen Yuanli arrived last, and Mrs. Meng insisted on waiting for him before going to the dining room.

The family of six sat down neatly. Even Meng Hui didn't go out for the first time and stayed at home to eat.

Shen Jiaojiao was a little surprised. Her sworn brother never paid attention to such trivial matters, but he actually came today.

Are you going to stand up for Meng Wan?

Thinking of this, she felt a touch of sourness in her heart, sighing secretly that her sworn brother really valued Meng Wan very much.

After breakfast, everyone went to the main room and sat down in their usual positions.

"I heard something big happened this morning?" Mrs. Meng looked around, and when her eyes fell on Shen Jiaojiao, she felt a little more profound.

As soon as the words fell, Meng Wan burst into tears and lay on the square table crying bitterly.

Shen Jiaojiao knew at a glance that this was for her.

She stood up and said respectfully: "Foster mother, I take the decision to accept a concubine for Yuan Li."

"Jiaojiao is so majestic." Mrs. Meng glared at her sternly, "My Meng family has never had such a rule. How can a son-in-law take a concubine?"

Chen Yuanli's face tightened, "Mother-in-law, what you said..."

When we first got married, we were not talking about getting married.

He will take the imperial examination in the future. If he joins the Meng family, he will be a merchant and will no longer be able to take the imperial examination.

Mrs. Meng looked over with a half-smile but not a smile, "Am I wrong? Our Meng family has high hopes for you, but you are acting ridiculously and being obsessed with the back house. Why should you take the exam? It's better to stay at home and accompany Wan'er!" "

Chen Yuanli felt as if he had been struck by lightning, a crack appeared on his elegant face.

Don't give him the test?
"Mom, what you said is quite right." Meng Hui said calmly, "Since the matter has happened, let's let it be."

If Chen Yuanli's heart is broken and he turns around to deal with the Meng family after high school, he will lose more than he gains.

"No!" Meng Wan suddenly raised her head and looked at Meng Hui with tearful eyes, "Brother! Are you still my eldest brother? How can there be any reason to push away my sister's husband?"

Mrs. Meng quickly comforted Meng Wan.

"Don't worry Wan'er, I have my own arrangements for my mother."

　Thank you for your support and love, I love you~
