Chapter 12 Bullying
Li Shangqian laughed and said, "Mr. Meng, look at what you said. What happened if I said a word to the eldest lady?"
His voice went from being confident and confident to becoming softer and quieter, almost inaudible.
"The control is so strict, people who don't know would think that the eldest lady is your daughter!"
Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao curled her lips.
This Li Shang is really a wonderful person.
She has never seen anyone dare to talk to her adopted brother like this, which shows that the relationship between the two is unusual.
Thinking about it, the sworn brother allowed Li Shang to be the shopkeeper of Mengxianju, so he trusted him very much.
Li Shang saw the narrow smile at the corner of her mouth and immediately wanted to drag her into the water.
"Look, the eldest lady thinks so too!"
As he spoke, Li Shang pursed his lips in her direction, gesturing for Meng Hui to look over.
Shen Jiaojiao smiled and hurriedly lowered her head.
Who is this? !
In vain, she thought this man was kind and easy-going before, but she didn't expect that he was a vicious man - after angering his sworn brother, he actually pushed her out to ward off disaster!
Meng Hui turned around and looked down at Shen Jiaojiao.
Looking down from his line of sight, he could only see a dark head, but no face.
The girl's dark hair was neatly coiled on her head, with a hairpin inserted at an angle, making her appear neat and well-behaved.
The chill in his eyes quickly dissipated.
Meng Hui put away his anger and asked quietly: "Why are you here in the front yard today? Where are my father and mother?"
With that said, he turned around and winked at the old housekeeper, signaling him to send Li Shang away quickly.
The old housekeeper understood, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and made a 'please' gesture.
"Shopkeeper Li, please."
Li Shang glanced at Meng Hui, and when he saw that the other person's expression was as usual and he didn't even look at him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and followed the old housekeeper.
After catching a glimpse of the two walking away, Meng Hui turned his attention to his adopted sister again, "Why didn't you reply?"
Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head, almost burying her head into her chest.
She wished she could disappear immediately.
Ke Xin was an insider and knew what happened last night and how his young lady was feeling at the moment. He immediately walked forward quickly, curtsied and saluted, and helped her out.
"Replying to the young master, no one is at home today. Someone was sent from the front yard to ask the eldest lady to come forward."
Meng Hui glanced at Kexin lightly and said, "Talk too much."
The voice was calm, but there was a hint of impatience.
Almost instantly, Guangshan, who was waiting outside the door, heard the sound and stood in front of Kexin.
"Miss Kexin, come with me and don't disturb the masters' conversation."
Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao raised her head in shock.
"Sworn brother!"
There are only two servants around the foster brother who are worthy of honor. One is the maid Yuzhu, who is in charge of the affairs of Qinghui Courtyard, and the other is Guangshan.
Guangshan is a young man who follows his adopted brother closely. He is good at martial arts. He also handles some disobedient servants for his adopted brother on weekdays.
It was rumored that there were two shadow guards under the sworn brother, but she had never seen them.
only……
What mistake did Kexin make?
The sworn brother actually wanted Guangshan to take her away!
Could it be that Guangshan was asked to deal with Kexin like he dealt with those disobedient servants? !
"Kexin is my maid, how could you touch her?" Shen Jiaojiao was frightened and frightened, her eyes widened like a frightened rabbit.
Meng Hui frowned, "You care about her so much?"
"No, no..." She subconsciously shook her head in denial.
"Why didn't you answer my question?" Meng Hui asked again.
"I, I..." Shen Jiaojiao's eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look at the man, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.
She couldn't tell her adopted brother, she was afraid, she didn't want to talk to him...
If possible, she hoped that the two of them would not meet each other recently to give each other some breathing space.
Well, mostly she wanted to take a breather. "You guys go down first." Meng Hui suddenly raised his hand and asked the servants in the room to leave.
Ke Ying, who was standing behind, immediately stepped forward, grabbed Ke Xin's arm, and pulled her out.
The eldest young master has always told the truth, and servants can only obey orders. If Kexin was allowed to kneel and beg and anger the young master, the consequences would be disastrous.
Guangshan followed the two maids.
It wasn't until the door of the house was closed from the outside that Shen Jiaojiao realized belatedly that she and her adopted brother were the only two people left in the house.
She took a step back in panic, trying to put some distance between them.
"Speak." Meng Hui pressed closer, reaching out to pinch her round chin, forcing her to raise her head.
"What? You don't want to talk to me now?"
The man's thin lips pursed slightly, and her panicked face was reflected in the depths of his deep pupils.
"Shen Jiaojiao, you walked in on your own initiative." He said.
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened and she couldn't believe that her sworn brother actually blamed her for last night's mistake.
She wanted to shake her head, but her chin was restrained by the man's big hand and she couldn't move.
She could only be forced to look up and face her sworn brother's handsome face.
The four eyes faced each other, and the atmosphere was extremely ambiguous.
Shen Jiaojiao's face felt hot and she quickly lowered her eyelids, not daring to look at him.
"No." She almost snorted from her nose.
Meng Hui's eyes became darker and darker.
This charming face gradually overlapped with the face she kissed when she fell in love last night, and even the weak and feeble rebuttal was very similar.
The strength in his hands gradually increased.
"Hiss! It hurts!" Shen Jiaojiao exclaimed in pain, her eyes turning red.
"Brother, let go!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and held the big palm that pinched her, trying to break the man's grip.
Meng Hui's eyebrows twitched, he quickly retracted his hand, turned around and left quickly.
Shen Jiaojiao froze on the spot, keeping her head raised.
It wasn't until her neck became sore that she slowly retracted her face and raised her hand to stroke her chin.
The coldness of her fingertips eased the pain on her face, but her heart gradually sank to the bottom.
Brother-in-law, is this crazy?
Why do you say she took the initiative?
She is obviously unwilling! She was clearly struggling!
Is it possible that because she couldn't break away from her adopted brother last night, she was going to be labeled as 'active'?
The more Shen Jiaojiao thought about it, the angrier and angrier she became. She wished she could catch her adopted brother back, grab his ears and roar, "I don't have it."
"Miss, what's wrong with you?!"
As soon as she entered the door, Ke Xin saw her young lady standing there angrily, her fists clenched, her eyes red, and her whole body trembling.
Ke Xin was so frightened that she almost lost her wits and rushed to Shen Jiaojiao with a quick stride.
"Miss, don't scare me!" Kexin cried.
Recalling the marks she saw on the young lady this morning, she cried even more sadly, believing that the young master had once again bullied her young lady.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Ke Ying, who was a step behind, hurried in and looked worried.
"It's okay!" Shen Jiaojiao came back to her senses. Seeing that Kexin seemed to be frightened by her, she quickly coaxed softly: "Kexin, I'm okay, I'm fine, don't think nonsense."
Hearing this, Kexin's crying gradually stopped and she asked while sobbing: "Really? Didn't the young master bully you?"
Shen Jiaojiao quickly glanced at Keying beside her and put on an angry look.
"What are you talking about? How could my sworn brother bully me?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and pinched Kexin's round face.
Kexin looked at her young lady eagerly and nodded seriously, "That's what the lady said."
Ke Ying on the side felt something was wrong the more she listened, she suddenly stretched out her hands and put them on Shen Jiaojiao's shoulders, straightened them up, and looked at her face carefully.
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes flickered, fearing that Ke Ying would see the clues.
