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

Chapter 42 Thank you, sworn brother
"Continue." Meng Hui turned his head calmly and looked at her.

There was no emotion in the depths of his dark pupils, as indifferent as if he were talking about an ordinary matter.

Shen Jiaojiao laughed dryly, shrank back, and lowered her eyes, not daring to look into her adopted brother's eyes.

At this time, she could confirm that her sworn brother was really angry.

She carefully recalled what she said, and couldn't find anything wrong with it, and she didn't know what made her adoptive brother angry.

"Okay." She could only bite the bullet and continue, "Well, since we all know that that night was just an accident, I hope we can reach a consensus with you."

Meng Hui frowned and said, "Shen Jiaojiao, please speak politely."

"Ah?" She looked at Meng Hui blankly, her mind going blank.

She has been talking nicely!
"I'm not your elder, and I don't have the responsibility to come and go." Meng Hui said.

Shen Jiaojiao suddenly raised her head, her eyes widened, and she looked at Meng Hui in disbelief.

Is this the reason why my adopted brother is angry? !
Just because she raised his seniority?

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and the smile in her eyes could hardly be hidden.

Meng Hui's tone was clearly far from gentle, but she felt inexplicably at ease.

The same thing happened to her adoptive brother when she was a child. He asked her to call her brother in a formal way. If she insisted on giving him a nickname, he would correct her with an unhappy look on her face.

The indifferent face in front of me gradually overlapped with the smiling face of my childhood.

She finally believed Yuzhu's words, dropped all her guard and wanted to have an honest talk with Meng Hui.

"Ahem, I want to ask you, why didn't you give me the tea in the first place? Why didn't you tell me that Meng Wan did it?"

She didn't mention the accident that night because she was embarrassed, so it was better to get straight to the point.

Meng Hui was keenly aware of the change in her tone, raised his eyes and glanced at her, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

The little face that was originally flushed with shame has now returned to calmness without the slightest hint of embarrassment, which is completely different from her behavior in the past two days.

More like - her before that night.

Meng Hui raised his eyebrows and answered the question with a calm expression, "There is no evidence."

"Brother, is it really because there is no evidence?" Shen Jiaojiao suppressed the sadness in her heart and asked word by word, "Is it because Meng Wan is your biological sister and you want to protect her?"

What more evidence is needed?
What Meng Wan said to her in the main courtyard was obviously to tell her that that night was her plan.

Meng Hui looked at her silently and did not answer.

Shen Jiaojiao was a little embarrassed, her sworn sister and her biological sister were really different.

She was about to change the topic when her sworn brother's deep voice came from the side.

"I will deal with it impartially."

"Really?!" She raised her eyes to look at Meng Hui, her face full of surprise, and the light in her eyes was astonishing, "Will my sworn brother really stand up for me?!"

Meng Hui's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded slightly.

She was so happy that her eyes almost turned into crescent moons, "Thank you, sworn brother!"

Meng Hui frowned, a little uncomfortable with her enthusiasm, so he had to change the topic, "Remember to handle the tea that Yuzhu gave you yesterday with caution."

Sensing his concern for her, Shen Jiaojiao became even happier. She couldn't help but want to ask for help and go outside to investigate the whereabouts of the boy.

The words reached his lips and he swallowed them back.

Yuzhu just said that the adopted brother loved her sister very much, but it didn't mean that the adopted brother didn't care for Meng Wan!
What if the sworn brother wants to protect Meng Wan?
Then the hands she borrowed will become her adopted brother's eyes and ears.

"I know, I will definitely be careful." Shen Jiaojiao sincerely thanked Meng Hui, "Thank you for your concern, sworn brother, we will be good brothers and sisters for life!"

It's great that when she thought she was going to lose all family ties, she turned around and found that her adopted brother was always there.

Fortunately, Yuzhu woke her up.

She figured it out, she no longer wanted to avoid her adopted brother.

When she was a child, she was afraid of affecting her step-brother's studies and didn't dare to stick too much to him. Now that both of them have grown up, the sworn brother has all the means, and is no longer afraid of being influenced by her.

She couldn't let Meng Wan snatch her adopted brother away.

Meng Hui suddenly put down the tea cup and stood up to leave. Shen Jiaojiao thought she had said the wrong thing again, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab his sleeve, and said urgently, "Brother! Don't leave!"

Meng Hui paused, his hands hanging by his sides clenching and unclenching, loosening and clenching again, his face becoming more and more serious.

"Is there anything else?" he asked in a cold voice.

"No, it's okay..." Shen Jiaojiao was so frightened that she let go of her hand, not daring to stop anyone anymore.

Brother-in-law, what's going on?
Why are you angry again?

Meng Hui's eyes were filled with ice. He closed his eyes forcefully. When he opened them again, his exposed emotions were suppressed to the point of no trace.

"I still have something to do." He explained and left in a hurry.

She walked out together with him, trying to catch up with Meng Hui, but she couldn't catch up. She didn't dare to call anyone, so she could only watch her sworn brother walking further and further away.

"Hey, which Wang Fu Stone is this?" Yuzhu's joking voice sounded.

Shen Jiaojiao turned her head in surprise and looked at Yuzhu.

"Sister Yuzhu, why are you here?"

"The young master is here to send you an invitation, so of course I have to accompany you." Yuzhu winked at her as she said that, "Look, I just said that the young master has you in his heart, should I believe it this time?"

"I believe it, I believe it!" Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, happily rushing over to hold Yuzhu's arm.

"Thank you sister Yuzhu for the tip, otherwise I would still be in the dark."

As she spoke, Shen Jiaojiao leaned her whole body softly against Yuzhu and rubbed her shoulder with her head.

Yuzhu stretched out his index finger and tapped her smooth forehead, "You are used to acting like a spoiled brat."

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and chatted a few more words with Yuzhu, hoping to get more news about her sworn brother from Yuzhu.

Especially his attitude towards Meng Wan.

When she talked about Meng Wan, Chen Yuanli's hypocritical face flashed through her mind, and she suddenly remembered that there was something important that she had not told her sworn brother.

She quickly pulled Yuzhu into the Pearl Courtyard and relayed what Miss Zhou had said, especially Chen Yuanli's attitude towards the Meng family.

"Why don't you tell the young master directly?" Yuzhu looked at her doubtfully, "If you tell the young master in person, he will definitely be very happy."

She shook her head with a grimace on her face, "I want to say that my step-brother seemed to have something important to deal with and left very quickly."

"Is it important?" This time it was Yuzhu's turn to be confused.

The most important thing in the near future is the water transportation route. The one next to it... is gone.

"No matter who says it, remember to tell the message to your sworn brother." Shen Jiaojiao warned seriously.

Yuzhu asked again: "Jiaojiao, don't you like my uncle? Why do you say it?"

Her face changed slightly, and she wanted to say that she didn't like Chen Yuanli since she had a different relationship, but she felt there was no need to tell Yuzhu this.

If Yuzhu asked her why she wanted to get married if she didn't like it, how would she answer?

You can't reveal your true purpose, can you?

"The Meng family is more important to me," she said.

Hearing this, Yuzhu didn't ask any more questions. After saying goodbye to Shen Jiaojiao, he hurried back to Qinghui Courtyard.

Before Yuzhu walked into the main room, a deep voice came from inside.

"came back?"

Yuzhu walked in and knelt down.

"Master."

"What did she tell you?"

Yuzhu's expression tightened and he quickly replied: "The eldest lady asked me about your attitude towards the second lady, and told me that my uncle had different thoughts and told me to report it to you."

Meng Hui leaned forward slightly, and his expression softened a lot.

"She cares about me?"
