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

Chapter 43 Illegal
"Miss, please get up quickly. Madam has sent someone to invite you."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, looking at the person with sleepy eyes.

"Keying? What time is it now?"

Keying put up the bed tent and took the time to answer her: "At the beginning of Mao Shi."

"Oh." She whispered and sat up.

After washing up, Keying and Kexin helped her dress up, and she was already in a state of mind.

Three days later in the blink of an eye, the house was calm and calm, which was really incredible.

The two boys who drowned in the garden lake were handled quietly by the housekeeper without causing any splash, which shows how powerful the adoptive mother's methods were.

Chen Yuanli's maidservant was placed in Hanliyuan, but Meng Wan didn't make any noise...

Even Shen Jiaojiao herself couldn't find the boy Wang Zhu who Ke Xin said was falsely reporting the news.

Lin'an City is so big that as long as Wang Zhu deliberately hides or goes out of the city to hide elsewhere, she will have no choice.

What happened that night seemed to have ended like this.

As for tea…

She glanced at the plain white porcelain bottle placed on the dressing table, which contained a small amount of tea.

Kexin's previous visit to Huaping Pavilion had aroused the alarm of her sworn brother. She was too frightened to let Kexin go to Uncle Mo again, so she could only try to tell Aoxue about the tea.

Aoxue agreed and sent her a message one day later, saying that Mo Gan would take the initiative to contact her during the Plum Appreciation Banquet.

She decided to meet Uncle Mo and give him the tea.

"Miss, do you want to take Aoxue with you today?" Ke Ying saw her thinking and asked in a low voice.

"What?" Shen Jiaojiao didn't hear clearly.

Keying had no choice but to speak clearly, "Aoxue's medical consultation may be able to help the young lady."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to take her with her, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Ke Ying was right. It was easier to encounter conspiracies outside.

If Aoxue is here, he can help somewhat.

Moreover, she was riding alone in a carriage, and no one cared about bringing an extra maid.

"Take it with you," she said.

While she was talking, her dressing up was coming to an end.

Ke Xin put a lifelike pear blossom hairpin on it and looked at it from side to side, her round face turning into a smile.

"The lady is so pretty." Ke Xin praised.

Keying pulled Shen Jiaojiao up and walked around her. After confirming that the clothes were correct, she nodded.

"Young lady is so pretty! Let's go quickly, Madam can't wait any longer."

"Yes, yes, sister Ke Ying, go and call Aoxue, and I will pack two sets of clothes for the young lady." Ke Xin also became anxious.

Before Shen Jiaojiao could speak, the two maids made arrangements.

She was also happy to relax, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her appearance after dressing up, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

The woman in the bronze mirror is really beautiful.

……

When we hurried to the front yard, no one had arrived yet.

Mrs. Meng sat with her eyes closed, concentrating, not even opening her eyes when Shen Jiaojiao stepped forward to salute.

Seeing her adoptive mother trying to show her face, she was a little confused and turned to look at Keying.

Keying shook her head gently.

Although she was in charge of the affairs of Mingzhuyuan, Kexin was not well informed and had no idea what was going on.

Ke Xin stepped forward and whispered in Shen Jiaojiao's ear: "Miss Zhou somehow angered the second young lady and was driven to the Xiyuan."

No wonder...

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Meng, huddled in the corner and did not dare to make a sound.

I don’t know what Miss Zhou did to make Meng Wan, who had been dormant for two days, so angry.

It was understandable that her adoptive mother would be unhappy - the Meng family was still headed by her adoptive father, and it was really unethical for Meng Wan to open a hospital alone for an aunt.

People who don't know think that Miss Zhou is the aunt of her adoptive father...

No wonder the foster mother is so angry.

After waiting for a while, Meng Wan and Chen Yuanli came hand in hand.

Shen Jiaojiao stood up, greeted the two of them, and glanced at Meng Wan.

Meng Wan's face was covered with a thick layer of powder, but it couldn't cover the black and blue under her eyes. Could it be that I didn't sleep well last night?

Chen Yuanli took a step forward, helped Shen Jiaojiao up, and looked at her angelic appearance after being dressed up, and his eyes shone with surprise.

"Why did you get up so early?" Chen Yuanli held her wrist and started to look for words.

"How did Jiaojiao sleep well last night?"

"Very good." Shen Jiaojiao retracted her hand without leaving a trace, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes.

Chen Yuanli was stunned and looked at Shen Jiaojiao in confusion, wondering why she suddenly became cold.

He was clearly delivering things to the Pearl Courtyard two days ago after school. Shen Jiaojiao was very happy to see him, although... Meng Wan would come to find him within half an hour of sitting down every time.

Why don't you want to talk to him today?
"Sister, you look really nice today." Meng Wan stepped forward and took Chen Yuanli's arm, looking up and down at Shen Jiaojiao as if demonstrating, "It's just that these clothes are a little plain, aren't they?"

"Will you?" Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and looked at her white top and green bottom.

It looks a bit more elegant, not too plain, right?
"It's better to dress more grandly when going to a banquet. Don't you know, sister? It's fashionable for ladies to dress luxuriously these days." Meng Wan said.

She smiled slightly, "I didn't know."

Her adoptive mother didn't take her to the banquet, so where could she find out what the ladies wore and what they used?
What's more... Meng Wan doesn't seem to understand that truly good-looking people don't need to follow the crowd at all.

Meng Wan covered her mouth with a panic look on her face, "I almost forgot that my sister rarely attends banquets this year."

She lowered her eyes and responded in a low voice.

Chen Yuanli felt sorry for Shen Jiaojiao being squeezed out, and hurriedly comforted her, "Jiaojiao looks good like this."

Meng Wan on the side was so angry that she almost broke her silver teeth, wishing she could punch a hole in Shen Jiaojiao's body.

"Everyone is here, let's go." Mrs. Meng stood up and walked out first.

When passing by the three people, their footsteps did not pause at all.

Now Shen Jiaojiao was sure that her adoptive mother was angry with Meng Wan, and very angry.

In the past, her adoptive mother would definitely obey Meng Wan's words and order her to go back and change into a new set of clothes, but today she actually ignored Meng Wan's advances...

She nodded to Chen Yuanli and Meng Wan and followed them out.

Meng Wan's gentle reminder came from behind, asking Chen Yuanli to pick her up on the outskirts of the city after school, and Chen Yuanli agreed repeatedly.

Three luxurious carriages stopped at the door of Meng Mansion.

Mrs. Meng got into the first carriage with Qingqi's help.

Before lifting the curtain and going in, he looked back at Shen Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, you can sit in the back car." After saying that, Shi Shiran walked in.

The car curtain was lowered in front of Shen Jiaojiao's face, blocking his sight.

Shen Jiaojiao was not surprised at all.

The adoptive mother must have a lot to say to Meng Wan, and it was normal for her not to want to ride in the same carriage with her and let her hear her.

She followed the good example and got into the second carriage with her three maids.

Mrs. Meng and the maid brought by Meng Wan got into the third carriage.

The group set off soon.

Halfway through the journey, Shen Jiaojiao suddenly remembered an important thing - his sworn brother had clearly accepted Madam Jiang's invitation, so why was he nowhere to be seen?

Thinking like this, she turned to look at Kexin beside her and asked, "Why didn't my adopted brother follow?"

Kexin was well-informed and when he heard her ask, he immediately replied: "I heard Guangshan from Qinghuiyuan said that the young master has some things to deal with and will rush over later."

"Oh." She nodded and said no more.

The carriage drove for nearly an hour from Meng Mansion to Meishan in the suburbs.

When everyone arrived, many luxurious carriages had already gathered at the foot of the mountain, and almost all the prominent nobles from Lin'an City came.

Shen Jiaojiao opened the curtain and saw Mrs. Meng and Meng Wan standing outside the carriage, seemingly waiting for her, and quickly asked Keying Kexin to follow.

Aoxue stayed behind to take care of the belongings on the carriage.

"Let's go." A faint smile appeared on Mrs. Meng's face, and she waved to Shen Jiaojiao, motioning for her to come over and take her other arm.

Shen Jiaojiao was accustomed to this.

The adoptive mother has a good face and is always very kind to her in front of outsiders.

She was about to walk towards her adoptive mother when a delicate voice came from behind her.

"Shen Jiaojiao! Do you still have the nerve to go out?!"
