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

Chapter 126 Moving reinforcements

Shen Jiaojiao and Keying stopped and looked at each other, not daring to go further inside.

Qingmai, who was guarding outside the door, saw her, his eyes lit up, and he raised his voice to report inside.

"Madam, the eldest lady is here!"

There was a pause of cursing in the room, and then a voice of lingering anger came.

"Come in!"

Qingmai smiled faintly at her and made a 'please' gesture, "Miss, Madam is letting you in."

Shen Jiaojiao walked in bravely, while Keying beside her was blocked by Qingqi.

After entering the main room, she first glanced at everyone in the room and saw that Chen Yuanli, Guang Shan and the housekeeper of the inner courtyard were all there, and she quickly understood why her adoptive mother was looking for her.

This is a reckoning.

"Jiaojiao has met her adoptive mother." She walked closer and bowed her head to say hello to Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng sat high up, looking at her quietly with lowered eyes, her thin lips pursed into a straight line, without saying a word.

Shen Jiaojiao was keenly aware that her adoptive mother wanted to leave her alone, so she didn't ask any questions. She kept saluting and waited for her adoptive mother to call out.

Guangshan and Chen Yuanli are here, and the adoptive mother will give her some face.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Mrs. Meng's cold voice came from above.

"Get up."

Shen Jiaojiao stood up straight, raised her eyes and glanced timidly at Mrs. Meng, then quickly glanced at Guangshan and the housekeeper who were kneeling on the ground, as well as Chen Yuanli not far away.

Seeing that everyone was silent and the atmosphere was a little tense, she had no choice but to take the lead in asking questions.

"What is the reason why my adoptive mother is looking for me?"

Mrs. Meng sneered, "I really underestimate you, you actually have the guts to plot against Wan'er!"

Hearing this, she felt confused for a while, frowned and asked, "Why do you say that? I have been busy with the concubine ceremony in Yuanli today, and I don't know what happened. Please tell me."

"Explicitly?" When Mrs. Meng saw her asking this, she became even more angry and pointed at her nose and opened her mouth to curse.

"Do you think I didn't know it was your evil plan?"

Her eyes were red and she looked at her adoptive mother at a loss, "What happened? Why are you accusing me like this? I have never plotted against Wan'er!"

Seeing that Mrs. Meng was silent, she turned her attention to Chen Yuanli again.

"Yuanli, tell me, what's going on?"

Chen Yuanli shook his head helplessly and did not dare to speak.

Seeing that he refused to say anything, Shen Jiaojiao had no choice but to look down at Guangshan and the housekeeper, "You guys say it."

The two of them knelt on the ground, not daring to talk to each other, not even daring to look up at her.

Shen Jiaojiao sniffed and raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Meng again, her voice was respectful and a little distant.

"Jiaojiao doesn't know what the adoptive mother is talking about. Please clarify it."

"The doctor found abnormalities in my body and said that someone had drugged me, which is why Yuan Li and I were allowed to argue in public."

While speaking, Mrs. Meng's eyes were fixed on her from beginning to end, without relaxing at all.

Apparently it was her fault.

Shen Jiaojiao's heart tightened, knowing that her adoptive mother had suspected her from the beginning.

She adjusted her mood, ignored her sadness, and asked eagerly: "Can you find out what kind of medicine it is? Is it harmful to the body? Have you caught the person who drugged it?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see her concern at a glance.

Mrs. Meng did not accept this trick and still stared at her coldly, "Did you give me the medicine?" She looked startled, as if she had not expected Mrs. Meng to say such a thing, her eyes widened in disbelief, and then she sighed Kneeling on the ground.

"Jiaojiao doesn't know what my adoptive mother is talking about. If my adoptive mother thinks of me this way, then report it to the official."

Although I don’t know why my adoptive mother is convinced that it is her, she can never admit it at this moment.

The foster mother must be deceiving her!
The medicine given by Aoxue was impossible to detect.

What the doctor will really find out is the love medicine in Meng Wan's body.

Does Meng Wan dare to let people investigate?
This was the medicine Meng Wan used to frame her before. If it were really exposed, could Meng Wan's collusion with the people from the Western Regions be concealed?
The adoptive mother also does not know how to report to the official.

Once reported to the government, the government will send someone to conduct a detailed investigation. What if the government finds out about the dirty things Meng Wan did in Hanliyuan?

"Report to the official? I think you want to disturb the peace of the family!" Mrs. Meng glared at her fiercely.

Shen Jiaojiao sighed and asked softly: "What does the foster mother want me to do? Could it be that Wan'er was grounded because of my reporting to the official office two days ago? Do you want to settle things with me today?"

She complained every word, as if she knew nothing about what happened in Hanliyuan.

Mrs. Meng became furious and raised her hand to slam the desk hard.

"Don't talk nonsense! Now we are talking about someone drugging Hanlianyuan. What does it have to do with the previous one?"

"You suspect I did it?" she asked.

"Of course you did it!" Mrs. Meng looked at her coldly, "Aren't you willing to admit it?"

Shen Jiaojiao said nothing, her disappointment evident in her expression.

Mrs. Meng seemed to be angered by her eyes and reprimanded angrily again: "Don't look at me like that!"

Her lips moved a few times, but she said nothing and lowered her head silently.

The air was filled with suffocating embarrassment, and time seemed to have stopped, making it unbearable for everyone present.

Everyone couldn't understand why Mrs. Meng was so angry, and they didn't dare to speak for Shen Jiaojiao, so they could only remain in a stalemate.

Until the sound of the maid's salute came from outside.

Master Meng is back!
Shen Jiaojiao did not look back and maintained her kneeling position, even though there was a faint pain in her knees.

"What's going on?!" As soon as Mr. Meng entered the door, he saw his adopted daughter kneeling on the ground and quickly stepped forward to help her up.

She staggered, almost unsteady, and fell forward.

Mr. Meng was startled, supported her again, and then looked at Mrs. Meng who was sitting at the top.

"What are you doing, madam? Why are you punishing Jiaojiao like this?"

Mrs. Meng knew she was in the wrong, but she refused to show weakness. She said with a strong voice: "She wanted to kneel down. I just asked if she was the one who drugged me, but she refused to explain and insisted on kneeling there."

Mr. Meng shook his head in disappointment, "Don't you know what kind of person Jiaojiao is? She has the most kind character, how could she do such a thing?"

After saying these words, Mr. Meng directly helped Shen Jiaojiao to leave, completely ignoring Mrs. Meng's plea to stay.

After walking out of the main courtyard gate, Mr. Meng looked at her limping feet with distress.

"You too, why do you care so much about your adoptive mother? I know you are angry, so you can't joke about your body!"

"If I hadn't come back early today, how long would you have stayed on your knees?"

"Your foster mother feels guilty about Wan'er, so she naturally prefers her... Oh! Forget it, let's not talk about this."

Listening to her adoptive father's caring words, Shen Jiaojiao's heart ached, and big tears fell down instantly.

"My foster mother came up and blamed me for harming Wan'er. I don't even know what happened..."

As she said that, she looked at Mr. Meng with tears in her eyes and asked, "Why did my adoptive father come back home so early?"

In fact, she had already calculated the time when her adoptive father would return home, so asking this question was just to clear herself from suspicion.
