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

Chapter 111 Direction
What exactly does Murong Zi want to do?
Is it really to repay the favor of saving your life?

Shen Jiaojiao fell into deep thought.

Her thoughts drifted back to the first time they met, when she disguised herself as a man and sneaked into Yichun Courtyard, where she bumped into Murong Zi.

Even if her sworn brother comes forward, Murong Zi still goes his own way and wants to force her to stay. His evil and rampant attitude makes people tremble with fear at just one glance.

Shen Jiaojiao's first impression of him was not good, so no matter how many good things Murong Zi did for her or how many good words he said, she was still afraid.

She didn't believe Murong Zi.

If nothing else, just say that the woman was disguised as a man at that time. How did Murong Zi recognize her? He looks different when he is a child and when he grows up.

Besides, she had been in Lin'an for many years and went out quite a lot. If she really looked like her, Murong Zi should have recognized her long ago.

You can't never encounter it once, right?

"I think the young lady needs to keep a distance from Mr. Murong."

Keying's voice sounded, awakening Shen Jiaojiao who was trapped in memories.

She raised her head and looked at Keying, "Tell me carefully."

Keying thought for a moment and spoke seriously: "Although the young lady was helpful in saving Mr. Murong's life, many years have passed and we don't know what the actual situation is."

"My servant thinks that if the young lady needs help, it would be more appropriate to ask the young master. For example, the young master has also given the young lady errands like Yumei."

All in all, it wasn't that Murong Zi was not strong enough, it was that it was safer to find a sworn brother.

"But..." Shen Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, "There are some things I don't want my sworn brother to know."

"Maybe Miss can form her own force." Keying suggested.

"It makes sense!" Her eyes lit up and her face showed joy, "Let me think about it carefully."

Ke Ying is right, both her sworn brother and Murong Zi can build forces, why can't she?
She has money on hand, and has several shops that are constantly making money. There is even a village in the suburbs.

As long as she is given some more loyal people, she can form her own power. Why does she need to rely on others everywhere?
Ke Xin was a little excited after hearing this, and hugged Ke Ying's shoulders, "I never thought about this!"

Then he looked at Shen Jiaojiao, "Miss, there are many good seedlings in the nursing home that you have been supporting, and we can cultivate them carefully!"

Seeing that Kexin was about to make a move, Keying quickly pressed down her hand, "This is not a fun thing."

"I know." Kexin stuck out her tongue.

Shen Jiaojiao coughed lightly and interrupted the conversation between the two, "I want to think about this first and talk to you later."

"Yes, this is a big deal, no matter how cautious you are." Keying agreed and reminded her again, "If you want to form a force, Miss must not let others know."

"Yes, I know." She nodded and told Kexin, "Kexin, go and ask Yumei to reject Murong Zi."

"Yes." Kexin accepted the order and planned to leave the house tomorrow to talk to Yumei.

The three masters and servants chatted for a while.

From Ke Xin's mouth, Shen Jiaojiao learned that after Master Jiang took Wang Zhu back, he did not make things difficult for Wang Zhu, but instead took care of him.

Yumei also took care of the jailers in the prison and asked them to take care of Wang Zhu.

Now Yumei begins to investigate the servants of the Meng family, especially the children of the family. She seems to be worried that they will be like Zhu Mao and be unfavorable to Shen Jiaojiao.

After all, Meng Wan had suffered such a big loss, and with her vengeful nature, she would definitely come back with revenge.

After hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao didn't have any special thoughts. Instead, she was impressed by Yumei's initiative.

The person her adopted brother gave her was indeed the best.

If she hadn't been worried that Meng Wan's scheme would be blocked by her sworn brother, she wouldn't have bothered to form any force and would have just asked her sworn brother to help.

"Miss, it's getting late, it's time for dinner." Keying reminded.

She nodded, "Then prepare the meal."

The two maids left in response.

Ke Ying went to the small kitchen to urge the meal, while Ke Xin went to find out if anything happened in Mingzhu Courtyard today, and took the opportunity to beat the new servant.

Shen Jiaojiao had a rare moment of leisure, so she opened the door and walked out, leaning against the pillar, smiling at Kexin's training. "Kexin is also a person who can take charge of her own business."

She murmured, suddenly laughing.

"Pfft, this girl was obviously made to cry by Ke Ying two years ago."

Smiling, she withdrew her smile again, a trace of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.

Time flies so fast.

In just one year, things have changed and people have changed.

"Miss, be careful of catching a cold." Ke Ying came over with a food box. Seeing her standing at the door blowing the wind, she couldn't help but mutter.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, then followed them back to the house.

"What are you eating today?" she asked.

“Sweet and sour pork loin, roasted chicken, steamed fish, roasted cabbage and tofu crucian carp soup.”

"So rich?" She was surprised, and then discovered that Keying did not take the food box to the east wing, but to the main room.

"Someone will be here soon? Is it the foster father?"

"Miss is so smart. The master just sent someone to come and have dinner with her." Ke Ying paused and looked towards the courtyard door, "Maybe we should arrive now."

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"The boy in the courtyard doesn't understand the rules. I don't know if I need to report this or if he told me just now when I went to get the meal." Ke Ying also looked a little ugly, "I have already punished him, so I won't do it again."

"You always handle things properly, I can rest assured."

Leaving these words behind, she hurried to the door, planning to greet Mr. Meng.

Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at the courtyard gate, Master Meng's figure appeared on the path, walking slowly towards her.

She smiled happily and hurried forward to greet him, "Father!"

When Mr. Meng saw her running towards her, he quickened his pace. After the father and daughter met, they walked towards the Pearl Courtyard together.

"Why did my foster father have time to come to my Mingzhu Courtyard? I thought you would go to Hanlian Courtyard to comfort my sister."

Mr. Meng has been in the shopping mall for many years. When he heard his adopted daughter's words, he knew that she was unhappy and quickly comforted her.

"Are you unhappy? Well, I know like a mirror in my heart that you have been wronged." Mr. Meng touched the beard on his face, shook his head and sighed.

"I know that you have a pure temperament and will not resort to those dirty tricks. It's the Meng family that I can't stand for you."

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head quickly, "My adoptive father and stepmother have been very good to me. Jiaojiao is grateful in her heart. How can she care about this with Wan'er?"

"You should care about it!"

Seeing her giving in like this, Mr. Meng glared at her displeased.

"You don't have to give in to Meng Wan. If your adoptive mother hadn't stopped me, I would have asked the family to punish me. It's really unfortunate for my family to give birth to such a bastard, and I can't punish her..."

Mr. Meng frowned, his face full of anger, and his fists were clenched tightly. He was obviously angry at Meng Wan's behavior.

"Father, you have given me small punishments and big warnings. I believe Wan'er will have a good memory."

She repeatedly comforted him, for fear of making Mr. Meng angry.

Mr. Meng sighed, "If you weren't so sensible, I would feel better."

While talking, the two came to the main room and sat in the lobby.

Keying and others set up meals in the dining room next door, waiting for their masters to eat at any time.

After sending the servants away, Master Meng looked at her seriously.

"Jiaojiao, tell your adoptive father exactly what you think."
