Chapter 5 There is something wrong in my heart
Shen Jiaojiao took a breath.

She knew that Meng Wan was very scheming, but she didn't know that he was so confident!

She lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Meng Wan.

What a clumsy means!

They can't see through it!
The family members who used to treat her like jewels now only care about Meng Wan and don't care about the suffering she suffered.

"Yuanli, how can you push Wan'er?" Master Meng's majestic voice sounded.

Hearing this voice, Shen Jiaojiao looked surprised, raised her eyes and looked over, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart.

Her adoptive father has always loved her the most and will definitely be able to make the decision for her!
Master Meng didn't notice her gaze, and his attention was entirely on Meng Wan.

Seeing this scene, Shen Jiaojiao felt a pang in her heart and lowered her head in embarrassment.

That's right, even if her adoptive father loves her no matter how much he loves her, he can't outdo Meng Wan. After all, Meng Wan is his biological daughter.

"Father-in-law, it's all my son-in-law's fault." Chen Yuanli did not dare to argue and apologized repeatedly.

"Dad..." Meng Wan shouted with tears in her eyes, then lowered her head and cried, her palms just enough to cover the slightly raised corners of her mouth.

With the support of Meng and his wife, Chen Yuanli could only face her.

Who is Shen Jiaojiao?
Seeing her crying sadly, Mr. Meng knelt down like Mrs. Meng and patiently comforted her.

Meng Wan took the opportunity to glance at Chen Yuanli, and seeing that he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, she knew that she was almost in control now, so she quickly asked for mercy on his behalf.

"Dad, it's my fault. I saw my husband getting close to my sister, and I was afraid that he wouldn't want me anymore, so..." She paused for a moment, skipping the part about beating her, "My husband didn't push me, it was I couldn't stand up myself and fell. Parents, don't blame him."

With these words, he not only solved the problem for Chen Yuanli, but also shifted the responsibility to Shen Jiaojiao, giving eye drops to his parents, killing three birds with one stone!
Meng Wan was feeling proud when she heard Master Meng snort coldly.

"Jiaojiao and Yuanli are husband and wife, how can you be jealous because of this? Besides, when I was outside the door just now, I seemed to hear you scolding Jiaojiao?" Master Meng asked.

Mrs. Meng showed disgust on her face, "Wan'er will definitely not talk nonsense. After all, she is an outsider and cannot be taught well."

As he said that, he glanced at Shen Jiaojiao meaningfully.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Meng, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The adoptive mother actually called her an 'outsider'!
There was a pain like needle pricks in her heart, and her eyes gradually turned red.

Could it be that everything in the past was her vain imagination and stolen happiness? Now that Meng Wan is back, will she return all her happiness?

When Mrs. Meng saw her looking over, she glared back even more angrily, as if she had done something heinous and bad.

She laughed to herself, stood up and walked towards the inner room.

Out of sight is pure.

"Jiaojiao?" Mr. Meng then thought of her.

Shen Jiaojiao stopped, saluted in the direction of Mr. Meng, and called softly: "Father."

Sensing that Shen Jiaojiao was in a bad mood, Mr. Meng turned to glare at Meng Wan.

He knew that his adopted daughter, who had always been obedient, could not take the initiative to cause trouble. Meng Wan must have done something to offend Jiaojiao!
He was about to reprimand, but Mrs. Meng spoke first.

"Wan'er, why are you making trouble with your sister again?"

The crisp and loud slap turned into a light word 'hao' in her mouth.

Meng Wan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up, and defended in a low voice: "Mother, I didn't make a fuss. My sister stayed at Qinghui Courtyard last night. My husband and I were anxious, so we rushed over to see her."

"Qinghui Courtyard?" Mrs. Meng's face changed slightly, and she waved her hands awkwardly, "You can stay overnight, Jiaojiao has been obedient since she was a child."

Previously, Meng Wan only said that a servant saw Shen Jiaojiao and her husband in the same room, but did not specify the location. If it was in Qinghui Courtyard...

Who dares to hang out with Shen Jiaojiao in Meng Hui's territory?

Meng Hui was the most stern to Shen Jiaojiao and would never condone her contact with foreign men. Even if Chen Yuanli took the initiative to show courtesy to Shen Jiaojiao, he would be reprimanded by Meng Hui.

Seeing that Mrs. Meng did not scold Shen Jiaojiao, Meng Wan became anxious and strode towards Shen Jiaojiao, "She must have done something unreasonable. She was hiding in Qinghui Courtyard and did not dare to come out, so she deceived me. Then I rushed back here to wash up!"

After saying that, he grabbed Shen Jiaojiao's arm with one hand and reached out with the other hand to lift her collar. Shen Jiaojiao had already been prepared for this move, staggered two steps and dodged.

Half a year ago, she accidentally bumped into Meng Wan's arrogant treatment of his servants, and learned Meng Wan's true face - this man was clearly arrogant and domineering, but he wanted to act in front of everyone in the Meng family, pretending to be weak...

Her intuition told her that Meng Wan must have something up his sleeve.

She told her adoptive mother immediately.

Unexpectedly, not only did her foster mother not believe her, but she also asked her not to bully Meng Wan all the time...

Although she has a gentle personality, she is not stupid. She is a little more wary of Meng Wan and secretly practices boxing and kicking with the master at home.

It finally came in handy now.

"Mom! She has something going on in her heart and won't let us see it!" Meng Wan was anxious and angry. She wanted to take action again but was afraid that her thoughts would be seen. She could only hold her breath and emphasize: "It is true that some servants said that they saw my sister and her husband living together. One room.”

Mrs. Meng suddenly became suspicious when she saw Meng Wan's words were solid and Shen Jiaojiao didn't refute, "Jiao..."

Before she could speak, she was interrupted by Shen Jiaojiao's weak voice.

"Wan'er, have you learned all the rules like a dog? How can you lift your sister's clothes in public?"

Her eyes were red with anger, but her back was straight.

"I was resting in the west wing of Qinghui Courtyard this morning. You barged in and made a scene, and just now you slapped me for no reason. I forgive you for being young and ignorant, and for not telling your adoptive father and stepmother. It's better for you, and you should treat the evil one first. Complain!”

After speaking, she turned half of her face to show the Meng family.

On the fair face, there was a bright red slap mark.

Master Meng took a breath of air and strode to her side. Even Meng Wan was pushed aside.

"Jiaojiao, you..."

The shock and love in his eyes didn't seem to be fake. He raised his hand to caress his adopted daughter's cheek, but was afraid of hurting her.

Shen Jiaojiao whimpered, her eyes filled with mist.

"Father, I have been sitting on your lap and studying since I was three years old. I am familiar with the four books and five classics, and my knowledge is no worse than that of a man. You always want me to broaden my horizons and not be limited to the back house..."

She shook her head and smiled bitterly, and a stream of tears slowly fell, "But Jiaojiao is now trapped in the back house, and she can't get out at all!"

Mr. Meng was greatly shocked, "As a father, I don't know..."

Looking at his adopted daughter with a depressed face, he felt endless annoyance in his heart.

Why did my daughter, who I loved so much when she grew up, be groomed to be like this?

Meng Wan glanced at Master Meng and felt a thump in her heart, fearing that her parents would change their attitude because of this.

Something must have happened last night, but it's a pity that I couldn't find the man and lost the opportunity. Now we can only do the next best thing, let everyone see the marks on Shen Jiaojiao's body, and then find a doctor to examine her body, she can still trample Shen Jiaojiao severely under her feet.

Thinking of this, Meng Wan's eyes flashed with malice.

Taking advantage of everyone's silence, she reached out to grab Shen Jiaojiao again, trying to pull the clothes off Shen Jiaojiao's shoulders.

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't avoid it and was grabbed by the collar by Meng Wan. She was so frightened that her face turned pale.

She hurriedly held the hand on her collar to stop Meng Wan's next move.

During the tugging, a stern voice came from outside the door.

"Shen Jiaojiao is staying in Qinghui Courtyard. How come she has a ghost in her heart as you say?"

Meng Hui strode in.

Seeing that Meng Wan was still struggling, he frowned and reached out to protect Shen Jiaojiao behind him.

"Meng Wan, what are your rules?" He lowered his head slightly and looked at Meng Wan.
