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

Chapter 115 Teach her a lesson

"Uncle Mo actually got this medicine?" Shen Jiaojiao played with the medicine bottle in her hand, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.

I really wanted to take a nap and someone handed me a pillow - just right.

This medicine from the Western Regions has more powerful properties and is difficult to digest. Meng Wan is afraid of using it...

"Uncle Mo asked for this bottle of medicine from his friends in the Western Region. The quantity is small, so he gave me half of the powder for fun." Aoxue explained.

She said 'hmm' and tapped the seal of the medicine bottle with her fingertips.

"Can you open it and take a look? Or do you think you can learn Chinese medicine by smelling it?"

"Don't worry, Miss. You have to take this into your stomach and wait for the effect of the medicine to take effect." Aoxue reached over and uncorked the bottle. "Just smelling it will not have any effect."

Shen Jiaojiao curiously brought the medicine bottle to her nose and sniffed it gently.

It really has no taste.

Looking through the mouth of the bottle, I could only see some white medicinal powder.

As she looked at it, she suddenly realized that it was this medicine that caused her to become entangled with her adopted brother, causing her to get deeper and deeper into trouble.

When she leaves the Meng Mansion in the future, she will have no home...

With a serious look on her face, she took the cork from Aoxue's hand and blocked it back.

"It's not a good thing!" She cursed, then looked at Aoxue, "I gave you this bottle, what do you use for yourself?"

Aoxue smiled and said, "Do you really want to put it all in? Just a little bit is needed." Then, he gestured to the size of his fingertip, "This little bit is enough."

"Okay, then I'm relieved." She clenched the medicine bottle in her hand and looked out the window from a distance.

Aoxue saw her resolute expression, and remembered that she said she would use it in the next few days, and couldn't help but persuade her.

"Why are you in such a hurry, Miss? The more hasty you are, the more likely it is that problems will arise."

"Besides, you just came to Kuishui. Don't move too much for the next two days. It's best to stay in bed and rest so I can take your pulse."

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao remembered what Aoxue had said before -

Her health was very poor and it was extremely difficult for her to conceive. Maybe it was a problem brought in from her mother's womb, or maybe she didn't take good care of her when she was young.

Aoxue had said at that time that she would have to wait until she came to Kuishui before she could feel her pulse.

After much thought, she politely refused.

"Let's wait until next month for treatment."

Aoxue sighed, "Miss, why are you doing this? Your body is yours..."

"I've thought it through, you don't need to persuade me anymore." She raised her hand to interrupt Aoxue and smiled gratefully at him, "Thanks to your medicinal diet, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore when I come back to Kuishui."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Aoxue could only nod and agree, "Then we agreed. You must listen to me next month. This illness cannot delay it."

"Okay, okay, I know!"

"When do you plan to welcome Aunt Zhou in?" Aoxue asked.

"Naturally within three days, I hope the sooner the better."

"Has everything been arranged, Miss? For example...how to administer the medicine?"

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly, "Not yet, I just had this idea."

"Does the lady need my help?"

"You can take care of the meal for me when the time comes. I always feel that Meng Wan will not let Chen Yuanli take a concubine easily."

Aoxue took a breath of cold air, "Miss, you want to hold a banquet? Doesn't it usually mean that a concubine is brought in on a sedan chair, toasted with a cup of tea and that's it?"

"There were several tables set up when Meng Wan came in. I only came according to her specifications. It's not an overstep."

Shen Jiaojiao showed a sly smile.

Aoxue knew the grudge in her heart, so he didn't try to persuade her - he couldn't tell her to let go of her hatred, right?

No matter how kind-hearted a person is, it is impossible for him to let go of this hatred.

"Don't worry, miss, I will never let anyone ruin the banquet."

"Yeah." She smiled and nodded.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and Kexin's voice also came. "Miss, the highland barley beside Madam would like to see you."

The smile on Shen Jiaojiao's face gradually deepened, and she knew exactly why Mrs. Meng sent people here.

"Miss, I'm going to get busy first." Aoxue excused herself.

Shen Jiaojiao met Qingqiu in person, saying that she had not washed up yet and asked Qingqi to wait for a while, but actually ordered Kexin to go to Xiyuan to invite Aunt Zhou.

Besides Chen Yuanli taking a concubine, what else could the adoptive mother do for her?
In this case, she naturally wanted to bring the rightful owner with her.

When Aunt Zhou arrived, she had just finished dressing up and was about to go to the main courtyard with Qingqi.

When she saw Aunt Zhou, she even covered her mouth in pretended surprise.

"Ah! Aunt Zhou, why are you here?"

Aunt Zhou saluted knowingly, "The eldest lady is joking. Since this slave has been raised as a concubine, it is natural for me to come to pay my respects to the lady every day."

Qingmai glanced at Aunt Zhou calmly and said nothing.

Shen Jiaojiao waved to Aunt Zhou, "In that case, then you can come with me to the main courtyard. It just so happens that my adoptive mother is looking for me."

"Yes." Aunt Zhou responded and walked to her, only one step behind her.

The two of them headed to the main courtyard together.

On the way, Aunt Zhou thanked her again: "Miss, thank you for helping me yesterday, otherwise..."

The following words were not spoken, but through the fearful tone, it was not difficult for people to guess what Aunt Zhou was afraid of.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, "No need to thank you. If it were someone else, I would do the same."

Not to mention that Aunt Zhou also tried to help her.

"I heard from my uncle that I want you to perform the ceremony of taking a concubine. If you feel embarrassed..."

"It's not difficult." She immediately interrupted Aunt Zhou, "This is because Yuan Li has you in mind. This morning, he specifically asked me to welcome you in within three days."

Aunt Zhou looked grateful and said, "Thank you, Miss."

In fact, both of them knew that Chen Yuanli's high-profile concubinage this time was just to teach Meng Wan a lesson.

What Meng Wan did completely hurt Chen Yuanli's self-esteem.

Isn’t it just taking a concubine? Why hurt people's lives?

This is not taking Chen Yuanli seriously!
……

Qingmai followed behind, and when he saw that the two of them got along well, and heard their conversation, his face turned ugly for a while.

When a group of people arrived at the main courtyard, Qingmai took the lead in going into the house to report, leaving the two of them outside.

After a while, Qingmai lifted the curtain and came out, inviting Shen Jiaojiao in to talk, and blocked Aunt Zhou outside.

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't say anything, so she comforted Aunt Zhou and waited outside while she followed in.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Mrs. Meng sitting on a high seat, looking at her expressionlessly.

She quickly curtsied and saluted.

Mrs. Meng didn't say a word and let her stand for a long time. She didn't let her get up until her knees started to shake.

"Sit down." Mrs. Meng pointed to a seat casually, "Jiaojiao, do you know why I want to see you?"

"Jiaojiao doesn't know." Shen Jiaojiao said as she walked over and sat down.

Mrs. Meng frowned and stared at her coldly.

"Why didn't you refuse to give Yuan Li a concubine?"

Shen Jiaojiao was surprised and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Mrs. Meng, "What does the adoptive mother mean by this?"

"What else can it mean? I really hate the fact that iron cannot become steel!" Mrs. Meng looked cold and was very dissatisfied with her. "As a legitimate wife, how could you allow Yuan Li to take a concubine less than a year after getting married?"

Shen Jiaojiao blinked, "Wan'er is also a concubine, and she came in on the same day as me."

"You!" Mrs. Meng was furious.

Who is Aunt Zhou?
How can he be compared with Wan'er? !
