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

Chapter 105 Scapegoat

"Zhu Mao, I am asking you something, why don't you say anything?" Mr. Jiang reminded again.

Zhu Mao knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, stammering and speechless.

He could not tell the specific time of his private meeting with Miss Zhou because he did not recognize Miss Zhou at all.

What's more important is that Aunt Zhou is always accompanied by maids, and the maids know exactly what she has done.

But Xiyuan not only has the maids arranged by Meng Wan, but also the manpower Shen Jiaojiao has stuffed in.

Once Zhu Mao lies, he will be easily found out.

Shen Jiaojiao sneered, "Since you can't tell me, you are slandering the master. Do you know how the Meng family rules deal with such people?"

Zhu Mao trembled all over and did not dare to look at her, but he still raised his ears and listened carefully.

"It is a rule of the Meng family that any servant who slanders his master will be sold out of the house. For someone like you, you can just beat him to death!"

"Beat to death?!" Zhu Mao was obviously frightened by these words, his body started to tremble, and he frequently looked at Mrs. Meng to the side.

Shen Jiaojiao watched his every move and asked in surprise, "What are you looking at Wan'er for? Could it be that Wan'er instigated you to do these things?"

She dragged Meng Wan into the water on purpose.

Because Meng Wan and Mrs. Meng were close to each other and Zhu Mao's vision was wandering, everyone speculated that this matter might be related to Meng Wan.

Maybe Meng Wan is really the mastermind behind this.

After hearing this, how could Meng Wan endure it? He immediately stood up, pointed at her and screamed angrily.

"Shen Jiaojiao! Don't talk nonsense!"

"I don't recognize this person at all, how can you target me again and again?!"

She looked over in surprise, "Wan'er, I'm not talking nonsense. I'm just stating the facts. Zhu Mao is indeed looking at you."

Meng Wan said angrily: "He's not looking at me at all!"

"Then who is he looking at? If he's not looking at you, could it be that he's looking at his adoptive mother?" Shen Jiaojiao asked again.

"You!" Meng Wan was furious, wishing she could rush over and tear the hypocritical face of the woman across from her into pieces.

Mrs. Meng calmly pulled Meng Wan back, fearing that she would fall into Shen Jiaojiao's verbal trap.

"Zhu Mao, what are you looking at? Why don't you answer Mr. Jiang's question?" Mrs. Meng looked at Zhu Mao with an unhappy expression and asked sternly.

Zhu Mao heard Mrs. Meng's threatening intention and lowered his head without saying a word.

Master Jiang also pressed again: "Zhu Mao, tell me quickly!"

Zhu Mao remained unmoved, kneeling on the ground with his head hanging down, like a statue.

Mr. Jiang sighed, "It seems that we can only take him to the prison for interrogation."

Zhu Mao looked pale and still didn't make a sound.

Seeing his attitude of preferring death to surrender, Shen Jiaojiao became increasingly puzzled - why would this person rather die than speak out?
At this time, some officers and soldiers came forward to report.

"Sir, Uncle Meng and Aunt Zhou are here."

Master Jiang nodded, "Let them come in."

Not long after, Chen Yuanli put his arm around Miss Zhou's shoulders and slowly walked in from outside.

The injuries on Miss Zhou's body should have been treated. Several places were bandaged with fine cotton cloth, but fortunately her face was not damaged.

At this moment, she looked even more charming than Meng Wan without makeup.

The moment he saw Miss Zhou nestling in Chen Yuanli's arms, Meng Wan's eyes burst into flames, and she wanted to rush over and separate the two.

"Ahem." Mrs. Meng coughed lightly, reminding Meng Wan to be careful, and then looked at Chen Yuanli, "This is Governor Jiang, Mr. Jiang."

Chen Yuanli immediately let go of Miss Zhou and bowed to Mr. Jiang.

"Wan Sheng met Mr. Jiang."

Miss Zhou also followed behind and bowed. "There is no need to be formal, sit down quickly, sit down quickly." Mr. Jiang waved his hand casually, indicating that the two of them should sit down.

After the two of them sat down, Mr. Jiang went straight to the point and asked, "Does Aunt Zhou know Zhu Mao?"

Miss Zhou nodded and glared at Zhu Mao angrily with a pair of watery eyes, "I can recognize it even if it turns into ashes!"

"When did you know him?" Master Jiang asked.

"Today, this man tied me to Fangfei Garden and beat me severely. He also tried to humiliate me and sell me to a brothel."

"Fortunately, Pavilion Master Murong realized something was wrong and rescued me in time, otherwise my life would have been ruined in his hands!"

Miss Zhou was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe, gasping for air.

Mr. Jiang asked again: "This Zhu Mao said that you and he are in love, are you going to run away privately?"

"Bah! Is he worthy?" Miss Zhou glared at Zhu Mao in disgust, "Before today, I didn't recognize Zhu Mao at all, and I had no contact with him. You can ask the maid next to me."

"However, these maids testify that you and Zhu Mao are in love." Mr. Jiang pointed to the little maid who spoke for Zhu Mao earlier.

The maids did not dare to look at Miss Zhou and buried their heads deeply.

"Sir, these maids have betrayed me long ago. Their words cannot be trusted."

Miss Zhou analyzed it clearly and logically.

"Why don't you ask Zhu Mao directly, what year, month, day, time and place did I meet him? I want to see what he can tell me!"

"In recent days, apart from going to see my uncle, I just stay in Xiyuan. I don't have a chance to see my husband at all. I don't know why this man is so interested in me. Please understand!"

After saying that, Miss Zhou struggled to stand up from her seat and knelt down towards Mr. Jiang.

As if suddenly enlightened, Chen Yuanli pointed at Zhu Mao and asked: "You are such a naughty slave, why are you trying to get hold of Aunt Zhou?!"

If he didn't make it clear at this time and the matter spread to the outside world, would he still lose his reputation?

Murong Zi made a big fuss yesterday, and today there is another concubine climbing the wall...

Maybe in the future, someone who is the top pick in high school will also use this as an excuse to read his book.

Zhu Mao didn't say a word, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Miss Zhou's eyes turned red with anger, and tears fell down in big drops. I felt pity for her when I saw her.

Chen Yuanli pulled the man up distressedly, took him into his arms, and comforted him silently.

Meng Wan stared at Chen Yuanli's every move, and saw that he was so sympathetic to Miss Zhou, and she became more and more angry in her heart.

Meng Hui also took the opportunity to observe Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't pay attention to what Chen Yuanli was doing at all. She stared at Zhu Mao for a long time, wondering why this man was so insistent.

Seeing that she didn't put Chen Yuanli in her eyes at all, nor was she jealous that Chen Yuanli liked others, Meng Hui felt happy and couldn't help but remind her softly.

"It's nothing more than money or family."

"What?" Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked over after hearing her sworn brother's deep voice.

Meng Hui glanced at Zhu Mao.

She suddenly realized what her sworn brother meant.

Zhu Maoding had some leverage in the hands of his adoptive mother and Meng Wan, so he had to obey.

What is most important to these servants? Of course it's money, or family.

Zhu Mao was born into a family, and his whole family worked in the Meng Mansion. He must have wanted to resist all the blame because he didn't want to implicate his family members.

After thinking about this, Shen Jiaojiao raised a smile on her lips and looked at Mrs. Meng pretending to be ignorant.

"It's a son's fault not to educate his father. If Zhu Mao does something like this, his family should also be punished, right?"

"Foster mother, what do you think?"
