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

Chapter 138 None of my business
"Does she deserve to have me come here to scold her?"

Meng Wan rolled her eyes angrily and walked straight to the seat next to Shen Jiaojiao and sat down.

"Sister, I have something to ask you."

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at Meng Wan thoughtfully and did not answer.

What good could a murderer do by looking for her?

"Ayan, please sit down first." Shen Jiaojiao said.

Meng Wan saw that she ignored him and went to talk to Aunt Zhou instead. He felt angry and couldn't say anything in front of Aunt Zhou, so he could only shut up angrily.

What if she becomes desperate and becomes so angry that she tells her what happened yesterday?
Keying received her lady's instructions and quickly helped Aunt Zhou to the chair.

He also ordered the maids to bring tea.

Aunt Zhou held up the teacup cautiously, took a small sip, and praised the tea as delicious.

"Since Ayan likes it, I will bring her a bag of tea back later."

Shen Jiaojiao smiled politely, clapped her hands, and asked Kexin to present the gift.

"I've prepared some gifts for you, but you can't shirk them."

While talking, Keying walked in holding a small box, followed by several maids, all holding things in their arms.

Five bolts of silk with exquisite patterns, two sets of headgear, a box of silver notes and the title deed to a small house.

The gift was placed on the table next to Aunt Zhou.

Everything is extremely luxurious.

Aunt Zhou's eyes widened, "Give me all these valuables?"

She could easily see the dark embroidery patterns on the silk cloth, and the jadeite inlaid on the jewelry was of such excellent quality that it cost at least several hundred taels of silver to buy it.

Shen Jiaojiao nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Of course it's for you, don't dislike it."

"How can I dislike it?" After saying that, Aunt Zhou knelt down to her again, "Thank you, Miss, for the reward."

Keying on the side quickly stepped forward to help.

Meng Wan curled her lips, not seeing that the two of them were getting along harmoniously, and said sarcastically: "Tsk, she's just an aunt. Are you trying to win people's hearts?"

"I also prepared one for you." Shen Jiaojiao smiled gently, "When you were brought in in a hurry, I didn't have time to take care of it, so I happened to make up for it today."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kexin came in with another box and presented it to her master.

Obviously, this box was given to Meng Wan.

"Sister, you'd better keep it. I don't like these rags of yours."

Meng Wan disliked the half-new box and soon showed a proud smile again.

"My mother will give me whatever I want. I don't need my sister to give it to me."

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, knowing that Meng Wan was deliberately making her angry.

If it had been in the past, she might have felt very disappointed when she heard that her adoptive mother treated Meng Wan well.

Now, she doesn't care who her adoptive mother treats well.

"You're right, do you want anything?"

She opened the box, took out the land deed and a stack of banknotes, and handed them to Ke Xin.

"Take it back and put it away."

Ke smiled happily and said, "Yes!"

The second lady doesn't want to be any better. There are tens of thousands of taels here in total.

Seeing Kexin take away the thick stack of land deeds, Meng Wan felt regretful.

She thought Shen Jiaojiao gave her something similar to Aunt Zhou, but she didn't expect that the other party would be so generous...

It has been almost a year since she returned to the Meng Mansion. She only has two shops in her hands and has not made much money at all.

The money Mrs. Meng gave her was used by her on dressing up——

She was afraid that if she didn't look good enough, the ladies of Lin'an City would secretly laugh at her.

"Wan'er? Why are you looking so fascinated?" Shen Jiaojiao raised her hand and waved it in front of Meng Wan's eyes.

"No, it's nothing."

Meng Wan came to her senses and quickly lowered her eyelids to cover up the desire in her eyes. "If you have nothing to do, please go back first. Aunt Zhou and I have something to talk about." Shen Jiaojiao issued the eviction order.

Meng Wan curled her lips and smiled at her, "When Aunt Zhou comes in, I am older than her, so she deserves to offer me a cup of tea."

"You are both concubines, what's the difference between you and me? If you want to drink tea, just pick up the tea cup and drink it."

"you!"

Meng Wan couldn't hear the word 'concubine' and was furious.

After taking a deep breath for a long time, he suppressed his anger.

"Sister is so generous, allowing her husband to take concubines into the house. Those who don't know, think that sister doesn't have a husband in her heart." Meng Wan said sarcastically.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked over, "Of course I can't compare to the relationship between you and Yuan Li. He has always liked you more."

Meng Wan heard that she was angry, and the anger that had just subsided was ignited again. She slammed the desk and stood up.

"You all get out of here, I have something to say with my sister!"

The 'you' in the words obviously includes Aunt Zhou.

The maid in the hall did not move at all.

They are servants of Mingzhuyuan, and they only listen to their own ladies.

Aunt Zhou also looked at Shen Jiaojiao, waiting for her to speak.

"Ayan, I'll invite you to talk later." Shen Jiaojiao said.

Aunt Zhou nodded, stood up and left.

After everyone else walked out, Shen Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at Meng Wan.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

She wasn't afraid, she was just curious about what Meng Wan wanted to say to her.

Could it be that Meng Wan has a back-up plan?
"Shen Jiaojiao, I know you were responsible for what happened yesterday. I have found the key evidence. You can't escape!" Meng Wan looked at her coldly.

She raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "I just want to save some face for you for the sake of my adoptive father and stepmother. If you don't want to talk properly, then get out."

After saying that, he picked up the tea cup as if to see off a guest.

Meng Wan was stunned. She didn't expect that Shen Jiaojiao, who had always been gentle, would change her face and become so difficult to deal with.

"If you hadn't said those words to anger me, how could I have been so angry?"

These words were an excuse for his assassination of Shen Jiaojiao yesterday.

"You were tricked by your own maid and lost your innocence. How can you blame me?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Whether or not you say it doesn't matter, it depends on whether Chen Yuanli believes it or not."

Meng Wan gritted her teeth and said, "As long as you don't talk nonsense, Brother Yuanli will naturally believe it!"

She exclaimed, pretending to be surprised: "Didn't my foster mother tell you that I already told Yuan Li about this?"

"Shen Jiaojiao!"

Meng Wan screamed and rushed towards her.

Shen Jiaojiao sat on the armchair, with nowhere to hide.

In desperation, she raised the hot tea in her hand and was about to pour it out.

Looking at the cup of scalding tea, Meng Wan stopped moving forward.

"I'm not here to argue with you..."

Meng Wan softened her attitude and tried to make peace with her.

"It was you who took my place and became the eldest lady of the Meng family for more than ten years, enjoying the life that should belong to me."

"And I was living on the streets, forced to survive in Baixiyuan."

"Did you know that I was still wearing unlined clothes in the middle of winter? Did you know that I had not had enough to eat or keep warm since I was a child? Do you know what kind of life I lived in the past?"

Shen Jiaojiao waved her hand and interrupted her coldly.

"None of my business."
