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

Chapter 9 Make the decision for her
"Brother!"

Meng Wan screamed in surprise, but she didn't expect that Meng Hui spoke straightforwardly and didn't spare her any face.

Seeing a pair of children getting into such a quarrel because of Shen Jiaojiao, Mrs. Meng's dissatisfaction became even stronger.

"Ah Hui! Why are you talking to your sister?" Mrs. Meng scolded her coldly, then looked at Shen Jiaojiao with disgust.

Shen Jiaojiao's face changed slightly, she swallowed the bitterness in her throat with difficulty, lowered her head and said nothing.

The hand holding the spoon trembled slightly.

The bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus rice dumplings in her hand, which she had not yet taken a bite of, seemed to have become colder, and even the aroma of the sweet-scented osmanthus was much weaker.

"Shen Jiaojiao, why don't you eat?"

The indifferent voice of her sworn brother came from beside her, seeming to be questioning her.

Suddenly, she smelled a hint of concern in these words.

The tears accumulated in his eyes almost burst out of the frame.

Even though her adoptive father and adoptive mother favored Meng Wan, her adopted brother was still as strict with her as ever. This realization made her relieved - he was not Meng Wan's eldest brother, but her adopted brother Shen Jiaojiao.

very nice.

Mrs. Meng's face was full of anger, "What do you care about Shen Jiaojiao? Wan'er is your biological sister!"

When comforting Meng Wan, he put on another expression, "Wan'er, don't be angry with your elder brother. He doesn't know the cause and effect and has misunderstood you."

Meng Wan said "Hmm" and tears fell.

"Hurry up and apologize to your sister!" Mrs. Meng held her in her arms distressedly, coaxing her while glaring at Meng Hui.

"Apologise?" A sarcastic smile appeared on Meng Hui's lips. He was too lazy to pay attention to Meng Wan. He leaned closer to Shen Jiaojiao and asked, "Which maid do you want? I will make the decision for you."

As he spoke, hot air sprayed on her ears, bringing a secret feeling of intimacy.

Shen Jiaojiao stiffened, and the scene of Meng Hui hugging her from behind when she woke up this morning flashed through her mind.

Skin against skin, it was frighteningly hot.

A wave of heat instantly rushed to his cheeks.

She lowered her head in panic, sat up straight, and distanced herself from the man.

When Meng Wan heard this promise, she panicked instantly.

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother had such a surly personality. Not only did he disobey his mother and refuse to apologize, he also asked Shen Jiaojiao to choose the maid first!
Why? !

She is obviously the real daughter of the Meng family!

"Brother, I have already chosen!" Meng Wan spoke first, fearing that the two maids would be snatched away by Shen Jiaojiao.

Meng Hui smiled casually, "So what if you choose well?"

The atmosphere was awkward again.

Mrs. Meng was afraid that the brother and sister would argue again, so she tried to smooth things over, "We already want those two maids Wan'er. Jiaojiao can choose the other two."

As he spoke, his sharp eyes glanced at Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao knew that her adoptive mother wanted her to give in, so she quickly put away the complicated thoughts in her mind and respectfully replied: "The adoptive mother chooses first."

This was an agreement to give up the beautiful maid to Meng Wan.

Meng Wan was secretly happy and smiled proudly at Shen Jiaojiao.

So what if my elder brother protects me?
What she, Meng Wan, wants, you can't take away even if you risk your life!
Mrs. Meng was also very satisfied with Shen Jiaojiao's knowledge, and her stern face finally softened a lot.

"Jiaojiao, why are you being polite to your adoptive mother? Choose quickly, otherwise you will get angry if you don't choose your adoptive mother." Mrs. Meng advised.

It wasn't that Mrs. Meng was easy to talk to, but she was afraid that rumors would spread that she treated her adopted daughter harshly since both of her beautiful maids were wanted by her own daughter.

Mrs. Meng has always valued face, how could she allow such a trivial matter to ruin her reputation?

Shen Jiaojiao agreed and randomly ordered the two maids.

She had already guessed that Meng Wan would compete with her, so she simply picked two beautiful maids. Meng Wan would definitely think twice and snatch them away, and then she would be able to choose the one she wanted.

When Meng Wan saw that the maid Shen Jiaojiao chose was ordinary-looking, the huge stone hanging in her heart finally fell. She was afraid that she would regret it, so she took the maid away first.

Mrs. Meng hurriedly caught up and taught her the way to serve.

For a moment, only Meng Hui and Shen Jiaojiao were left in the outer courtyard.

Shen Jiaojiao realized later that the situation was not good.

She could clearly feel the gaze coming from the side.

She didn't dare to look back for fear of meeting her adopted brother's eyes.

The charm of last night flashed uncontrollably in her mind, and her face turned red. She wished she could run away and never see her adopted brother again in this life. How strange.

At this time in the past, my sworn brother had already left the house, and sometimes he was nowhere to be seen for the whole day.

Why are you staying in the house today, uncharacteristically?
What made her most embarrassed was that her adopted brother didn't shy away from suspicion and even sat down next to her and brought her dessert!

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still anymore and stood up.

"Brother, since the people have been chosen, I will go back to the Pearl Courtyard first." As she said that, she nodded to the two maids who were selected, "You guys can come with me."

Just as she was about to go around the aisle, Meng Hui suddenly stretched out her hand and blocked her way.

"Come for a walk with me."

Meng Hui stood up, and her tall body instantly enveloped her, creating an inexplicable sense of oppression.

She took a step back, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes.

"Brother, I'm a little tired and want to go back first..." She declined.

Meng Hui raised his hand to interrupt and looked at the eldest maid who was waiting quietly, "Yuzhu, pick a few that you like and fill the vacancies in the courtyard, and then send the two maids chosen by the eldest lady to the Pearl Courtyard. "

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out.

Shen Jiaojiao knew that her sworn brother was a stickler for words, and it was not easy for him to lose face in front of his servants, so she could only follow slowly.

Unknowingly, the two came to the Meng Mansion Garden.

Next to the trail is a turquoise lake, surrounded by mountains, rocks and green plants. It is a good place for conversation.

"Where's Kexin next to you?" Meng Hui asked suddenly.

Her expression changed and she almost lost her mind.

Fortunately, her adopted brother was walking in front and could not see her expression.

She forced herself to calm down and replied softly: "I'll let her go out."

"What are you doing out there?" the man asked.

Shen Jiaojiao was dumbfounded. She could not discern the hidden meaning in the words, and even suspected that her sworn brother had sent someone to follow Kexin.

She didn't dare lie at this moment.

"The hairpin is broken, I asked Ke Xin to take it to a jewelry shop for repair."

Meng Hui stopped, turned around, and looked down at her, "Why is this hairpin so important?"

As he spoke, he reached out and held the cold little hands, putting them in his palms to warm them.

She took a breath and looked around in panic, fearing that someone would catch her in this act of transgression.

After making sure no one was around, she yelled angrily.

"Brother, please respect yourself!"

"What are you afraid of? It's not like I haven't touched him before." Meng Hui said calmly.

Shen Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, knowing that if she opened her mouth to refute, her sworn brother would say something even more embarrassing to her.

She didn't want to dwell on last night's mistake, so she had to withdraw her hand and change the topic.

"My sworn brother is so free. Is the water transport route to the north solved?"

Meng Hui's eyes flashed and he looked at her carefully, as if he wanted to see something on her face.

She stood still and looked back unwillingly.

Seeing that she was so angry that she was like a cat stretching out its sharp claws, whistling and waving its paw at the breeder.

The coldness in the man's eyes faded instantly.

"It's just a trivial matter, are you worried about me?"

"I didn't!" She tilted her head awkwardly.

Meng Hui lowered his head and stared at her face. When he caught a glimpse of the small mole hidden between her eyebrows, he suddenly remembered that he had touched this mole this morning.

He gently rubbed his fingertips.

"Relax, who dares to block the way of my Meng family's caravan? Dad is panicking because he doesn't know the details."

She said 'hmm', her voice was small, and she lowered her head.

His eyes fell on the dark gold belt around the man's waist, and his pupils dilated little by little.

This, this belt was clearly a birthday gift she gave to her adopted brother the year before last!
