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

Chapter 73: This trick again
"Lin Zhen was not poisoned, he did not smell of alcohol, and his expression was clear. He clearly knocked me down on purpose!"

Shen Jiaojiao said decisively.

Lin's family members were all present just now, and she didn't want to get entangled too much, so she couldn't bear to tell the truth until now.

Meng Hui glanced down at her and signaled her to calm down.

"I'll take care of it all."

"Yes." She nodded slightly, choosing to trust her sworn brother.

With the sworn brother's city, it should be extremely easy to find out the truth.

The relationship between the two became harmonious again, as if the dispute last night had never happened.

"Go back." Meng Hui patted the top of her hair, held her hand, and turned to leave.

Meng Wan's face was full of jealousy, and she secretly raised her eyes to glare at Shen Jiaojiao, not daring to say a word.

"Where are you going?"

Mrs. Meng's dissatisfied voice came from the door.

Soon, the Meng family and his wife walked in together and sat at the table.

The old housekeeper personally brought the tea cups, put them on for the masters, and then led the boys down.

Mrs. Meng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, then gently placed it on the square table, looking down at the two people holding hands.

"Ahui, your attitude was too tough just now. What's good about offending Mr. Lin?"

"Jiaojiao, you are already married, and you are still clinging to your adopted brother. How can you behave like this?"

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao suddenly realized that she was too close to her adopted brother and hurriedly let go of her hand, but Meng Hui held her back tightly.

"The Lin family is rude first. If our Meng family doesn't take a tough stance, anyone can step on the Meng family in the future."

After saying that, Meng Hui lowered his head and glanced at Shen Jiaojiao.

Her face turned red and she didn't dare to move any more.

"Leave a little bit of peace of mind so that we can meet each other in the future." Mrs. Meng persuaded her earnestly, not forgetting to glare at Shen Jiaojiao, "Besides, isn't something wrong with Jiaojiao?"

"Good meeting?" Meng Hui sneered, "I think Lin Zhen is quite interesting to Meng Wan. How about sending Meng Wan to Lin Zhen's bed to make amends?"

"Brother!"

Meng Wan didn't expect that Chi Yu would be affected, and her expression suddenly changed in fear.

Mrs. Meng was also shocked by these words. She frowned tightly and looked at Meng Hui displeased.

"Presumptuous! What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Wan'er is already married, how can she marry another husband?"

Meng Hui curled up the corners of his lips, "Didn't you say that you have to keep a thin line? Since he likes Meng Wan, I, the Meng family, should give it up. I guess Yuan Li is also sensible."

"I don't want it!" Meng Wan covered her ears and screamed, then rushed out.

There was silence in the house.

The scream seemed to still be echoing in the air.

Shen Jiaojiao shrank her neck, secretly glad that she didn't offend her sworn brother.

The sworn brother has a surly temperament. He is so indifferent on weekdays that one wonders if he cares about people. But once he gets serious...

She quietly glanced at her stepmother, whose face was ashen.

Mrs. Meng had a stern look on her face, "Are you talking back to me because of Shen Jiaojiao?"

Similar scenes and conversations were repeated again.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her eyes. She could guess with her toes what her adoptive mother would say next.

It was nothing more than some words to blame her for teasing her sworn brother.

"Mom, do you think I am speaking for Shen Jiaojiao?"

Meng Hui's eyes flashed slightly, he let go of Shen Jiaojiao's hand and walked towards Mrs. Meng.

"Sometimes I really wonder what your heart is made of. How can you be kind to Meng Wan and treat Shen Jiaojiao harshly at the same time?"

He stood still in front of Mrs. Meng and lowered his eyes condescendingly.

"Why is this happening? Is mother hiding something from us?"

Mrs. Meng was furious, raised her hand and slapped him.

Meng Hui leaned back and dodged easily.

Those dark eyes were covered with frost and had no warmth at all.

Mrs. Meng came to her senses and was frightened by her own behavior, so she hurriedly retracted her hand. Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Mr. Meng hurriedly came over to make peace between the two of them.

"Oh, you just keep talking, how can you beat the child?"

Seeing Mr. Meng, Mrs. Meng seemed to have found a backbone and straightened her waist again.

"Why didn't I hit him? This treacherous boy dared to question me, so he went against the grain!"

"Besides, how could I treat Shen Jiaojiao harshly? Give her the best, even Wan'er can't surpass her!"

As he said that, a pair of sharp eyes glanced at Shen Jiaojiao.

"You rebellious girl, you have repeatedly encouraged your sworn brother to disobey your elders! Our Meng family has really raised you in vain for so many years!"

Shen Jiaojiao's face turned pale, she stared at her adoptive mother quietly for a moment, and seriously shook her head in denial.

"I do not have."

As expected, it was this move again.

"You still dare to refute?" Mrs. Meng raised her hand and slapped the desk angrily.

The anger reached its peak at this moment.

Seeing that the relationship between mother and daughter was tense, Mr. Meng quickly reached out to hold Mrs. Meng.

"The child is still young, don't scare her..."

"You're already married, and you're still young?"

"No matter how old a child is, he is still a child in the eyes of us parents."

……

The next words were thrown out of Shen Jiaojiao's mind.

She didn't know where the courage came from. She didn't want to listen to her stepmother's scolding words anymore, so she turned around and walked out.

This may be the first time she rebelled against her adoptive mother.

Ke Xin was waiting outside. When she saw her walking out with a sullen face, she quickly followed her.

The master and servant walked all the way to the inner courtyard.

When they reached a secret place, Shen Jiaojiao couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and hugged Kexin, crying bitterly.

Ke Xin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly hugged her young lady and softly comforted her.

"Don't cry, don't cry, miss, don't cry."

"Kexin, why? Even my step-brother can see it. Why would my step-mother do this to me?"

She cried repressedly, her voice was broken, but her tears kept pouring out like broken beads.

"No, no, the madam has a young lady in her heart." Kexin hurriedly comforted her, "It's just...it's just that the second young lady has just come back, so the madam is more helpful."

Shen Jiaojiao was sobbing, not believing Kexin's nonsense at all.

The adoptive mother clearly doesn’t have her in her heart!
Ever since she was little, her adoptive mother had always been indifferent to her, neither good nor bad. She thought her adoptive mother had such a temperament.

After all, the adoptive mother is also indifferent to the adoptive brother.

But as soon as Meng Wan came back, she found something different.

The foster mother treated Meng Wan the way a real mother should treat her children.

"Oh, oh, oh, Kexin, you are lying! Even you have learned to lie to me..."

"Good lady, how could I lie to you?" Ke Xin comforted her softly and also cried.

Gradually, Kexin's comforting voice disappeared.

A burst of sweet osmanthus fragrance flooded into the nose.

She sniffed heavily, secretly wondering if there were sweet-scented osmanthus planted here?
In the next moment, I remembered, where does the cinnamon fragrance come from in the cold winter months?
It's the sworn brother here!
She looked back and saw Meng Hui with a gloomy expression.

"Brother." She whispered, hurriedly took out her handkerchief, and wiped her face haphazardly.

Meng Hui looked at her steadily, sighed suddenly, and glanced at Kexin, who was still holding Shen Jiaojiao.

Ke Xin hurriedly let go, wishing he could chop off his own hands so as not to hinder the young master's eyes.

Seeing that she was so understanding, Meng Hui was satisfied and stretched out his hand to pull Shen Jiaojiao into his arms.

"Take you out to play?"

A low voice sounded in my ears.

Shen Jiaojiao's cheeks were slightly red and she shook her head rationally, "I won't go."

Where did she get the idea to go out and play?
