Chapter 108 There are clues

The servants of Mingzhuyuan were a little surprised to see their young lady coming back at this moment.

Those who were bold enough to step forward to say hello were dismissed by Shen Jiaojiao with a wave of his hand.

She ran straight back to the east wing and huddled on the couch in a daze.

Reason told her that her sworn brother was right.

The kidnapping of Miss Zhou had already caused Meng Wan to lose all face.

If she continues to shout that Meng Wan is guilty, it will only make her adoptive father and stepmother think that she is unreasonable and unforgiving.

What's more, Master Jiang was invited by her.

If she doesn't define her father and adoptive mother, she will think that she can't tolerate Meng Wan.

However, she is the one who gets hurt time and time again!

As a victim, she just wanted justice and wanted her adopted father and mother to see clearly who Meng Wan was. Why did her adopted brother stop her?

"Miss, are you crying?"

Suddenly, a white handkerchief was handed to me.

"Ah! You scared me!" Shen Jiaojiao's body trembled, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she looked up and saw Aoxue.

She took the handkerchief, wiped her cheeks randomly, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Aoxue, why are you here?" she asked.

Aoxue sighed, "I heard from the servants in the courtyard that you were back and looked very bad, so I came to see you."

She nodded dully, not knowing what to say.

Seeing her look like an abandoned puppy, Aoxue couldn't help but raise her hand to rub her head.

"Are you sad, Miss?"

"A little bit." Shen Jiaojiao curled her lips and ignored Aoxue Chaoyue's behavior.

"I'm so sad that I'm going to cry."

"I cried, and you were so scared that my tears retracted."

"Pfft!" Aoxue chuckled, and simply took off her bun, went to the dressing table to get a wooden comb, and smoothed her hair.

Aoxue said: "Then I will do your hair, it will relieve your mood."

"Oh." She was still unhappy.

Her long, translucent black hair was spread out on the couch, and the wooden comb started from the scalp and was combed down. The movements were neither light nor heavy, and it was indeed somewhat comfortable.

Shen Jiaojiao's eyebrows relaxed a little.

"Miss is not a daughter of the Meng family. Why do you care so much about Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng?" Aoxue advised her.

She said harshly: "Who cares about them anymore?"

"Yes, yes, you don't care at all." Aoxue coaxed her.

She pouted proudly, not wanting to continue talking, but then remembered an important thing.

"Aoxue, did Uncle Mo find any clues? It's the tea that was drugged by Meng Wan."

Aoxue made a move, and then quickly continued to send her hair.

"There are clues."

"Speak quickly," she urged.

"Uncle Mo said that the tea is really not simple, and ordinary people can't get it. If he didn't have many friends, and there happened to be a friend from the Western Regions who recognized the medicine in the tea, it is possible that he would never be able to find out."

Shen Jiaojiao was shocked, "You mean, this medicine comes from a foreign land?"

Aoxue nodded, "Uncle Mo said this medicine is very rare and is a banned medicine in the Western Regions. Ordinary Han people cannot obtain this medicine."

"Then how did Meng Wan get it?"

"There are only two possibilities, either she is a barbarian from the Western Regions, or she knows people from the Western Regions."

"Meng Wan doesn't look like a foreigner." She said without thinking.

The appearance of the Hu people is very different from that of the Han people. They usually have deep eyes, high noses and many beards. If she is a woman, she also has deep eyes, a high nose and big eyes.

Standing next to the Han people, you can tell at a glance.

"Uncle Mo thinks she should know someone from the Western Region and has already started investigating."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded and provided them with a new direction.

"Tell Uncle Mo that Meng Wan used to live in a troupe in Xunan County. Uncle Mo can go there to try his luck and see if there are any barbarians in the troupe."

"Don't worry, Miss." Aoxue responded, thought for a while, and then spoke again, "Mo Wei came to beg me again, saying that he wanted to come back to serve you." She pursed her lips and shook her head to refuse, "No, if she really wants Help, just deliver the message for me outside."

Hearing this, Aoxue did not persuade her.

The master and servant became quiet, and the only sound in the room was the sound of the wooden comb rubbing their hair.

The slight rustling sound makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Shen Jiaojiao closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes gradually became firmer.

"Aoxue, do you have any aphrodisiac in your hand?"

Aoxue was startled, and the wooden comb in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.

After bending down to pick up the wooden comb, she asked softly: "What do you want to do, young lady?"

"Tit for tooth!"

Hearing this, Aoxue instantly understood what she was thinking, holding the wooden comb in hand and thinking deeply.

Shen Jiaojiao did not rush her and waited quietly.

After a long time, Aoxue said: "I have two kinds of medicine in my hand. One is a colorless and odorless aphrodisiac, which is not available to ordinary people and is very convenient to take."

"What about the other one?"

"The other one is available in ordinary pharmacies, but I have strengthened the effect of the medicine. It is large and powerful. Which one do you want, Miss?"

Without any hesitation, Shen Jiaojiao chose the second option.

She warned carefully: "This matter must not be spread outside, and no one can talk about it."

The sworn brother's hands and eyes reach the sky, and he seems to want to protect Meng Wan. She must act carefully without letting the sworn brother know.

After Aoxue left, Shen Jiaojiao lay on the couch and waited quietly for Kexin and Keying to return.

She wanted to ask what happened in the front yard after she left.

A sweet scent of osmanthus comes quietly.

She panicked, looked up at the door, saw no one, and turned to look at the window.

Meng Hui was walking towards her quickly.

"What are you doing, step brother? You won't go through the door, but the window?" Shen Jiaojiao asked with a straight face.

"Hide away for leisure." Meng Hui said.

She propped herself up, sat upright on the couch, and rolled her eyes at the man angrily, "Go back to your Qinghui Courtyard and hide."

"Jiaojiao wants to issue an eviction order?"

As he spoke, the man sat down next to her, put his arms around her slender waist, and pulled her into his arms.

"Still haven't figured it out yet?"

"I understand." Her voice was dull, revealing a bit of grievance.

"My sworn brother is for my own good, I know that."

Seeing that her eyes were red with grievance, Meng Hui couldn't bear it, so he simply talked to her.

"Don't be angry." The man lowered his head and kissed the corners of her eyes, "Since you just mentioned tea in the flower hall, I will tell you directly."

"The medicine in the tea was brought from the Western Regions. Things inside are not that simple."

"I won't tell you more because I'm afraid you will be involved. But seeing you so unhappy is not what I want, so I can only tell the matter first."

Shen Jiaojiao learned about this from Aoxue earlier, but in front of her sworn brother, she still pretended to have just learned about it and pretended to be shocked.

"Western Region?!"

"How could Meng Wan be related to the Western Regions?!"

Meng Hui lowered his eyelids to block the gloom in his eyes, "Anyway, don't act rashly and wait for me to straighten things out."

After saying that, the man lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The solemn atmosphere suddenly changed, adding a bit of ambiguity.

The man stopped after a brief taste, dropped his two red lips, and slowly kissed down.

He held her tightly with his hands, as if he wanted to melt her into his body.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her wet eyes and looked at the man on her body blankly.

Is what he said true?
Or did he still want to protect Meng Wan, so he made up a lie to deceive her?
