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

Chapter 107 Unable to convict her

Meng Wan opened his mouth, trying to say that he didn't recognize this person, but the title he just blurted out was obviously unconvincing.

After choking for a long time, Meng Wan finally thought of a perfect excuse.

"Sister, I don't know. This boy is from our courtyard. A servant came to report that he was missing before, but he was never found. That's when I got the impression."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, "Since it's gone, why didn't you explain it to the housekeeper?"

"Wan'er told me." Mrs. Meng answered quickly.

It turns out that the scarred boy in front of me is the one who sneaked out and was never found.

Mrs. Meng suddenly felt that something was wrong, especially when she saw Shen Jiaojiao coming aggressively, while Meng Wan looked panicked and had no choice but to admit everything.

"Why did Jiaojiao suddenly bring him in?" Mrs. Meng preemptively asked.

"My foster mother will know after listening."

With that said, Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and looked at Wang Zhu who was kneeling on the ground.

"Wang Zhu, the governor is here. If you have any grievances, just tell them. Mr. Jiang will definitely make the decision for you."

Wang Zhu didn't hesitate too much and immediately told what happened.

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhu also rolled up his sleeves and showed the injury on his right arm to everyone.

"A group of masked men attacked me today. If the eldest lady's people had not protected me in time, I would not have been able to talk to the masters here."

"Please Sir Jiang and Madam, conduct a thorough investigation!"

Wang Zhu burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, asking only for justice.

Everyone was shocked, especially Mr. Meng, who could hardly restrain his anger and stared at Meng Wan with blazing eyes.

It was Chen Yuanli who spoke first to break the silence.

"Jiaojiao, nothing happened to you?" Chen Yuanli looked worried.

Shen Jiaojiao heard the meaning behind his words, turned her head away angrily, and snorted coldly.

This guy really doesn't have a long memory.

He had misunderstood her earlier because of the Meizhuang incident, and now he was saying this again. Could it be that he was afraid that Meng Wan would succeed in plotting against her and Hongxing would cheat on her?

"Yuanli, don't worry." Meng Hui glanced at Chen Yuanli lightly and said, "I came back early that day and saw someone sneaking around in the west wing, so I ordered someone to catch him."

After hearing that his eldest brother had vouched for Shen Jiaojiao, how could Chen Yuanli still feel uneasy?

"Has that person been caught?" Chen Yuanli asked.

"No, I don't know where he is hiding. I wanted to intensify the search, but who would have thought that Shen Jiaojiao would suddenly visit..."

Shen Jiaojiao was afraid that Meng Hui was talking nonsense, so she quickly took over the conversation, "My step-brother and I haven't seen each other for many days, so we chatted for a long time. My step-brother even asked me why I got married without saying a word."

As she said that, she raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Meng.

"Didn't the adoptive mother send a message to the adopted brother?"

Naturally, Mrs. Meng would not admit that she wanted to avoid the eldest son and get the three of them married as soon as possible. At this moment, she could only apologize and said: "Your sworn brother was running a business at the time. He sent several letters home, but they all came to nothing."

She nodded, "That's it. No wonder my sworn brother couldn't come back at that time."

Meng Hui glanced at her but said nothing.

No matter how wrong Mrs. Meng was, she was still the mistress of the Meng family. If only family members were present at this time, maybe he would ask where the 'family letter' was.

But Mr. Jiang is also here today.

He couldn't let Master Jiang see the joke.

When Chen Yuanli heard this, it was exactly what Shen Jiaojiao said at the beginning, and he quickly believed this explanation.

Since there is no problem with Shen Jiaojiao, then the one with the problem is naturally Meng Wan.

"Wan'er, why are you doing this?" Chen Yuanli asked again.

Meng Wan raised her hand to wipe the tears from the end of her eyes and looked at Chen Yuanli opposite with annoyance.

"What did I do? Husband, what do you mean by this? Do you also suspect that I did it?"

After saying that, she buried her face in the palms of her hands and sobbed softly.

It's been so many days since this incident, and Shen Jiaojiao can't produce any evidence, indicating that they can't do anything to her at all. At this time, he just wanted to deceive her.

Meng Wan asked sadly: "You believe it just based on what I said? You are trying to frame me without any evidence, and I will never admit it!"

Shen Jiaojiao frowned impatiently, "Isn't Wang Zhu the best witness? What other evidence do you want?"

"He's been missing for so many days. Who knows if he was instigated by someone?" Meng Wan turned her around.

"Yes, Wan'er is not that kind of person." Mrs. Meng also spoke for her beloved daughter, "Jiaojiao, Wan'er is very close to you. How can I harm you if I call you "big sister" or "sister" all day long?"

Shen Jiaojiao was very angry and helpless.

The adoptive mother always favored Meng Wan. Even if the evidence was conclusive, she would still say a few words to her, regardless of her feelings.

She was obviously the one who was hurt!

"Then what?" Mr. Jiang glanced at Shen Jiaojiao and brought the topic back on track, "Meng Hui, please continue."

Meng Hui nodded, "Two days later, two boys were drowned, and one of them was the sneaky boy."

"Drown?" Mr. Jiang quickly became alert.

How could he happen to drown?

Could it be that... the real murderer threw the body into the lake and made it look like he was drowned?
"Yes, the government also came at that time. After a forensic examination, the case was concluded as death by drowning." Meng Hui said.

Mr. Jiang sighed and shook his head, "That means death without evidence."

Meng Hui nodded.

Shen Jiaojiao was unhappy and raised her hand to tug on her sworn brother's sleeve.

"Isn't there Wang Zhu? He is the witness!"

Meng Hui sighed and held her hand in his palm. "The boy who was in contact with Wang Zhu is dead. This is death without evidence."

"But Wang Zhu said..."

"Shen Jiaojiao, Wang Zhu has no contact with Meng Wan, how do you convict her?" Meng Hui approached her and asked in a low voice.

"But she sent people to kill Wang Zhu's whole family..."

The man shook his head slightly, "Where's the evidence?"

"People have been sent to investigate, and the body is in Yizhuang, and the corpse can be examined. I think it will be soon..."

"Okay." Meng Hui interrupted her again, and while standing up, he pulled her up as well.

Without giving her time to react, Meng Hui took her out directly.

The two of them walked all the way to the flower hall, and the man stopped and released his hold on her hand.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"Jiaojiao, that's enough, there's no need to continue."

Meng Hui lowered his eyes to look at her, a ripple flashed in his eyes, and raised his hand to take her into his arms.

She slapped the man's hand away, took two steps back, and glared.

"Why don't you continue? Why hide such an important evidence of tea? You have obviously been speaking for Meng Wan. Are you trying to exonerate her?"

Meng Hui shook his head helplessly, "Shen Jiaojiao, do you think your parents can't see it? Even if you have evidence, you can't convict her."

"You mean I deserve to be plotted against?"

"Jiaojiao, you know that's not what I meant." Meng Hui reached out to pull her, but was brushed away again.

He sighed and stared into her eyes, "Wait a minute, I will resolve this matter as soon as possible."

The Meng family was powerful, so protecting Meng Wan was just a piece of cake.

Mrs. Meng would not let anything happen to Meng Wan.

Shen Jiaojiao was angry and annoyed, knowing that her sworn brother was telling the truth.

After glaring at the man angrily for a long time, she finally said nothing, turned around and ran outside.
