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

Chapter 133 Fear of Loss

Shen Jiaojiao didn't dare to move anymore and sat down obediently.

This sitting position was so strange, the sound of breathing was almost right next to her ears, and she couldn't avoid it.

Hot breath sprayed on the side of the face.

The crimson gradually spread from the neck, dyeing the cheeks and ears.

Seeing that she was obedient, Meng Hui curled up his lips slightly and ordered Guangshan who was waiting outside to bring tea in.

She came back to her senses and waved her hands repeatedly, "Brother, if you don't want to drink tea, I want to go back to Mingzhu Courtyard..."

If you give her another 800 courage, she won't dare to act recklessly in the main courtyard.

But my sworn brother dares!
My sworn brother has always been indifferent, how could he follow those red tapes? He is also indifferent to his adopted father and adopted mother, but he often controls her and asks her to behave and behave...

Thinking about it carefully, her stepbrother's harsh treatment of her in recent years seemed not as simple as she thought.

On the contrary, it seemed that he deliberately separated her from Chen Yuanli?
Before he could figure it out, a kiss fell on the side of his face.

She instinctively raised her hand to block it, but the man held her wrist again and played with it in his palm.

Her already rosy face turned even redder now.

"Brother, stop making trouble, I'm still panicking."

Meng Hui responded softly and raised his eyes to look at her.

"Do you know what happened today?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"I heard what Guangshan said." Meng Hui looked calm and did not take this trivial matter to heart. "Meng Wan is the one to blame. You don't need to care."

When it came to business, the heat on Shen Jiaojiao's face subsided a little and she raised her eyes to look at the man.

"not me."

Meng Hui raised his eyebrows, "What?"

"I didn't do it." She lowered her head, with shame on her face, "I thought about taking action, and I took action. I thought I succeeded..."

Shen Jiaojiao paused and continued.

"Later I learned from Aoxue that she didn't arrange anyone to implement it. Therefore, what happened to Meng Wan was not my doing."

"Pfft." Meng Hui chuckled, "I know it's not you."

While talking, Guangshan personally brought tea in and poured tea for the two of them.

Shen Jiaojiao shut her mouth and stopped talking.

She still remembered Guangshan's distrustful look in Hanlianyuan earlier.

If she wasn't afraid that Guangshan would talk nonsense to her adopted brother, she wouldn't bother to talk about it.

After Guangshan left, she quickly picked up the teacup and took a few sips.

The verbal exchange just now took a lot of energy.

"Slow down." Meng Hui raised his hand and patted her back gently to help her calm down.

She didn't put down the tea cup until her throat was no longer dry and looked at the man seriously.

"Brother, it's really not me, you believe me."

Meng Hui's eyebrows twitched, "Do I look like I don't believe you?"

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and looked at him silently.

The step-brother has strange thoughts and is not a cheerful person. How does she know what he is thinking?
What's more, Guangshan seems to be suspicious of her, maybe she has said a lot of bad things to her adopted brother!

Meng Hui sighed and hugged her into his arms, "Shen Jiaojiao, you always don't believe me."

She pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm," "I don't believe it."

Seeing her being so frank, Meng Hui felt even more helpless.

"So what if you did it? Could it be that I would hurt you for Meng Wan?"

Hearing this, she coughed guiltily, "Ahem, although I didn't administer the aphrodisiac, the quarrel between my adoptive mother and Chen Yuanli had something to do with me."

As he spoke, he glanced at his adopted brother quietly, then quickly looked away, lowering his head and picking his fingers.

This is a manifestation of guilty conscience.

"I know." Meng Hui raised his hand and rubbed her head, "You asked Aoxue to add medicine to the incense to make them quarrel, right?"

"Yes." Shen Jiaojiao nodded timidly, not daring to ask her sworn brother how he knew.

"You have also thought about drugging Meng Wan and taking revenge on Meng Wan, tit for tat, right?"

"Yes." She nodded again, her voice as thin as a mosquito.

She was clearly ashamed of her actions. "That day, Meng Wan used despicable means to harm me. I was so angry that I asked someone to..."

Meng Hui suddenly held her hand and interrupted the conversation.

"Shen Jiaojiao, none of this is important."

The man's eyes were dark, and he pressed her palm on the left side of his chest, "Do you feel it?"

"What?" Shen Jiaojiao blinked and looked at her sworn brother in confusion.

Meng Hui said nothing and looked at her quietly.

Gradually, she felt a vigorous and rhythmic beating from her fingertips.

Again and again, very quickly.

As if she realized something, she quickly wanted to take back her hand, but her stepbrother held her tightly.

His face gradually turned crimson, and his heartbeat became faster and faster, even at the same frequency as the heartbeat under his palm.

Meng Hui sighed, "I almost lost you, but luckily I was able to make it in time."

Shen Jiaojiao knew that the word "in time" meant that Meng Wan was rushing towards her with a dagger.

If her adopted brother hadn't arrived in time, she would have been seriously injured even if she didn't die.

But she never thought that her adopted brother would be afraid.

How could someone as indifferent as my sworn brother be afraid? And I'm afraid of losing her...

Shen Jiaojiao once again truly felt Meng Hui's affection for her, and her heart was filled with panic and confusion, mixed with a little sweetness.

"Thank you, my sworn brother, for saving my life." She spoke hastily, breaking the silence.

After saying that, she withdrew her hand forcefully, fearing that the man would notice that her heart was beating like thunder.

Meng Hui pursed her thin lips slightly, as if she didn't like her polite and distant thank you.

She didn't notice the change in the man's mood and kept talking to herself: "Isn't it two or three days before my sworn brother can come back? Why is it so early? Did you go to the Pearl Courtyard to see me this afternoon?"

Questions were thrown out one after another, but no time was left for people to answer.

"Are you nervous?" Meng Hui asked.

How smart he was, he could figure out the truth just by asking the person in front of him, and the anger in his heart dissipated in an instant.

"I didn't!" Shen Jiaojiao immediately retorted.

Meng Hui said nothing and looked at her quietly.

Those deep, dark pupils seemed to have room for only her.

An unspeakable silence enveloped them, and even the air seemed to freeze.

She lowered her eyes, not daring to look at the man.

Soon, she spoke cautiously again, "Brother, I want to talk to you about Meng Wan and what happened today..."

"Let's talk." Meng Hui sighed again, no longer forcing her.

Shen Jiaojiao calmed down, deliberately ignoring her adopted brother's helplessness, and said seriously: "Meng Wan was plotted by her servants in the courtyard and lost her innocence. However, judging from the situation, her adopted mother suppressed the matter."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked in the direction of Hanliyuan.

"If you go back and check who is missing from Hanliyuan, you will know who committed the murder."

Seeing that she cared so much about Meng Wan, Meng Hui simply told her the truth.

"She's the eldest maid in Meng Wan's courtyard."

"How does the sworn brother know?" Shen Jiaojiao was surprised.

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized that it was normal for her sworn brother to know!
This man is so intelligent that he is always good at strategizing, so it is only natural for him to have an informant in the house.

Meng Hui lowered his head and kissed her rosy earlobe, then changed the subject, "As you said, it was Meng Wan's own fault and it had nothing to do with you."

This was what she said to Mrs. Meng at that time, and it was these words that completely angered Meng Wan and led to her death.

Shen Jiaojiao touched her nose guiltily.

"I wanted to take revenge on her then... well, even now I want to take revenge."

She couldn't help others harming her, and she had to endure it in every possible way.

If it weren't for the relationship between foster father and foster mother...she would definitely take action and she would never regret it!

"Then take revenge and go back." Meng Hui indulged her.

No matter what she wanted to do, he would help her settle everything.
