Chapter 121 Confrontation
Shen Jiaojiao took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down.

"Let's go take a look first."

Kexin responded and reminded in a low voice, "Miss, don't be too panicked. I heard that it was just my uncle and my wife who had a quarrel, nothing happened."

She pursed her lips and showed a slight smile.

"Well, I'm not panicking anymore."

The two of them knew exactly what kind of riddle each other was playing.

The word 'catch rape' she blurted out earlier was enough for Ke Xin to guess that she had taken action against Meng Wan.

Kexin was reminding her not to panic.

The maid didn't even ask her lady why she wasn't asked to participate.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't intend to explain. There were a lot of people talking outside, so it wouldn't be too late to wait until she got back to Mingzhu Courtyard.

The master and servant hurried to Hanliyuan, but before they got close, they heard Chen Yuanli and Mrs. Meng scolding each other.

"Bah! How dare you miss our Wan'er even though you are a low-income person. You really want to eat swan meat!"

"Tsk, I knew you didn't like me, but it's a pity that your daughter just likes me."

"If you weren't so shy and so attentive, how could Wan'er like you?"

"It's your daughter who is shameless and insists on seducing me. She won't be able to get rid of it even if she is a dog-skin plaster!"

"You poor settled woman will fight with you!"

"Go to hell early! Damn old woman!"

The two yelled and cursed angrily, and then there were sounds of struggling, mixed with the sounds of persuasion from the servants.

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned, not expecting to hear such a wonderful scolding.

The housekeeper had been pacing at the door, and when he saw her, he rushed towards her as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

"Miss! You are finally here!"

She said 'hmm', raised her chin and nodded towards Hanlianyuan.

"What's going on? Why are my foster mother and Yuan Li scolding each other?"

"I don't know either!" the housekeeper said with a confused look on his face, "I asked people to guard the surrounding area. Not many people heard. Please don't worry, young lady."

"That's not a lot..." She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

The servants who pull the fight, the servants of Hanliyuan... together there are more than a dozen people.

When the adoptive mother wakes up and learns that such an indecent side of her has been seen, she will be so angry that she wants to kill someone.

"Miss, please don't worry about this for now. Go in and persuade your wife and uncle!" The housekeeper looked so sad that he almost knelt down in front of her.

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at him, knowing that this man wanted to throw a hot potato to her.

Compared with Lao Yan, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, this housekeeper of the inner courtyard is younger and was promoted by his adoptive mother. He should stand by his adoptive mother's side.

Now he doesn't dare to take any trouble?

"As the steward of the inner court, why don't you give me some advice?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If you can persuade me, how can I trouble the eldest lady?"

Shen Jiaojiao was too lazy to fight with him anymore and walked into Hanyuan.

When I walked in, I saw that the courtyard was full of servants from Hanliyuan. They were all squatting on the ground, huddled in a ball and shivering.

She looked around and didn't see the maid next to Mrs. Meng, and she had a vague suspicion in her heart.

"Miss, my wife and uncle are in the east wing." Seeing her stop, the housekeeper hurriedly walked forward to lead the way.

The group soon arrived at the outer room of the east wing.

Mrs. Meng and Chen Yuanli stood on both sides with a round table in the middle, pointing and cursing at each other.

Chen Yuanli was pulled by several servants, while Mrs. Meng, a strong woman, blocked the way.

It didn't get to the point of fighting each other.

Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and walked in quickly.

Just as he was about to ease the atmosphere, Chen Yuanli waved to her as soon as he saw her.

"Jiaojiao, come and comment."

Mrs. Meng sneered, "I raised Shen Jiaojiao, how could she listen to you?" Then she stared at her, "Jiaojiao, come to my adoptive mother." "Jiaojiao and I are one, so she will naturally If you help me, is it possible that you are helping a foster mother who is always biased?"

As he said that, Chen Yuanli grinned at her.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, seeing that he was still somewhat rational, and even began to wonder whether he had been drugged by Chinese medicine.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the round table.

Meng Wan's usual incense was burning on the table. It seemed like there was nothing wrong with it, but in fact, it had already been filled with drugs that would make people irritable.

Smelling incense can make people easily irritated.

There wasn't much medicine in the incense. She originally planned to burn it for a while and give it to Chen Yuanli alone.

As for why this situation occurs now——

She guessed that her adoptive mother came to Hanlianyuan first and inhaled a large amount of incense. Chen Yuanli later also inhaled part of the incense, and the two started a scolding battle after they had a disagreement.

"It's really the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

Mrs. Meng's sneer awoke her from her thoughts.

"Don't you know? Shen Jiaojiao is a bitch. The worse I treat her, the more she wants to please me. I don't even bother to argue with you."

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao frowned and looked at Mrs. Meng in disbelief.

So the adoptive mother knew?
Did her adoptive mother treat her so badly on purpose?
The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it became, and her heart felt cold.

Normally, her adoptive mother would always pretend. Although she knew that her adoptive mother didn't like her, she always subconsciously blamed Meng Wan.

Now it seems that is not the case at all.

The adoptive mother simply didn't like her.

"Come, please send Yuan Li to Xiyuan first." She waved her hands to the servants, indicating that they should send him out.

"You dare?! You dare?!" Chen Yuanli struggled hard, "How dare Shen Jiaojiao! You are a boring woman, Wan'er is much more well-behaved than you, and Ayan is even meaner and gentler, you..."

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, "Stop his mouth."

The servants quickly covered Chen Yuanli's mouth and escorted him to Xiyuan.

"When my uncle wakes up, let him go back to the outer courtyard. Don't embarrass the Meng family." She warned carefully.

In the flower hall in the outer courtyard, there were two tables of noble ladies sitting. She didn't want Chen Yuanli to disturb the situation and embarrass herself.

As for Mrs. Meng...

Shen Jiaojiao looked at Mrs. Meng from afar, and smiled slightly: "The adoptive mother will also go back to the main courtyard, okay?"

The voice was calm and indifferent, without the admiration of the past, and it was obvious that she had completely given up on her adoptive mother.

Hearing this, the women used some strength to take Mrs. Meng back.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Meng suddenly started struggling and refused to leave.

"I won't leave, I don't want to leave!"

"Shen Jiaojiao! Don't even think about harming me, Wan'er!"

Shen Jiaojiao's pupils suddenly widened and she froze on the spot.

Could it be that the adoptive mother saw that she was scheming?

Or... is the adoptive mother stalling for Meng Wan's time?
"Foster mother, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I harm Wan'er?" She deliberately changed her expression and looked inside, "Is it possible that something happened to Wan'er?"

When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately panicked and looked at her for help.

If something happens to the second young lady in the house, the housekeeper will not be able to escape the blame.

Shen Jiaojiao just wanted to ask the housekeeper to investigate together, so she nodded quickly and the two of them walked into the inner room.

There was no one in the bathroom, nor in the inner room.

The bed was messy, with fragments of clothes scattered around the bed, and a piece of off-white coarse cloth hanging under the bed.

A discerning person can tell what happened at a glance.

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at Kexin.

Kexin walked over and pulled out her clothes. She saw that they were a pair of obscene pants.

"Miss, these are the obscene pants distributed by the government to the servants!" Kexin's screams echoed throughout Hanlianyuan.
