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

Chapter 14 No rejection allowed
"Miss, you can't go!"

Ke Xin screamed, stood up suddenly, rushed to Shen Jiaojiao's feet, and held her hand tightly, "Miss, don't go!"

Shen Jiaojiao frowned and said nothing.

It's been a long time since her adoptive mother took her to a banquet.

A year ago, Meng Wan was ridiculed by the ladies at the family recognition banquet and lost face. The adoptive mother was furious and blamed her for the incident, believing that she had not taken good care of Meng Wan.

She couldn't argue, because it was her close friend who couldn't stand Meng Wan and caused the farce on impulse.

From then on, as long as she was not mentioned in the posts sent from various governments, the adoptive mother would not take her to appointments.

She has long been used to it...

Why did you suddenly invite her to go swimming in the lake today?

Before she could figure it out, Ke Ying stepped forward and took Ke Xin's arm.

"Kexin, don't be like this. Madam cares about Miss. It's a good thing to take her out to play. How can you stop her?"

Although the young lady didn't say it explicitly, they, the maids, all saw it - even though she was heartbroken, the young lady still thought about the madam and hoped that the madam would accept her again.

In order to prevent Ke Xin's words from irritating the young lady, Ke Ying said in a persuasive manner: "Are you worried that the maid arranged by the madam is not as careful as you and I? Don't think too much, the arrangement made by the madam will definitely not go wrong."

Unexpectedly, Kexin did not nod to admit her mistake. Instead, she shook her head repeatedly, looking panicked.

"Sister Keying, please ask someone to reject Madam!"

Ke Ying said with a serious face, "Do you know what you are talking about? If the lady or madam is arguing with you, you can be kicked out of the house with just one charge of instigation!"

The sound of the two talking made Shen Jiaojiao wake up.

She pulled away from her memories and found that Ke Xin was kneeling in front of her, while Ke Ying looked at Ke Xin angrily.

Seeing that the situation was not right, she quickly smoothed things over: "Kexin, get up quickly and don't make our housekeeper unhappy."

Keying is in charge of all the affairs of Mingzhu Courtyard and is always teased by Shen Jiaojiao as the 'big housekeeper'.

"Miss, don't indulge her. If Madam knows that she is inciting dissension..."

"Then let's not talk about it outside." Shen Jiaojiao waved her hands, not wanting to dwell on this topic anymore.

Of the two maids, she trusted Kexin more.

Even Uncle Mo was contacted by Kexin, and only Kexin knew what happened last night.

Therefore, it is understandable that the two maids have completely different attitudes towards visiting the lake.

She didn't blame Keying for misunderstanding that she still had illusions about her adoptive mother.

After all, before last night, she had been looking forward to repairing the relationship with her adoptive mother...

Ke Ying gave a low 'hmm' and advised: "Miss, don't listen to Ke Xin's nonsense. Madam must have wanted you in her heart, so she asked you to accompany her."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "I understand. Just go and tell me that I'm washing up and I'll be back soon."

Seeing that her young lady had listened to what she said, Ke Ying felt happy and was about to turn around and go out when she quickly remembered an important question.

"Miss, Madam won't let you take care of your maid..."

"Don't worry, I'll take you two there." Shen Jiaojiao said.

Ke Ying smiled and nodded, and the big stone in her heart finally fell.

After Ke Ying went out, Ke Xin, who had been silent, dared to speak.

"Miss, do you really want to go?"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "Go, the carriage sent by my adoptive mother is waiting outside. I don't want to embarrass her."

The implication is that she cannot refuse this.

Ke Xin said with a sad face, "Who knows if this lake tour is a 'Hongmen Banquet'? What if he does something mean? Madam won't even let you take your maid there. If something goes wrong, you will be scolded every day." It’s not working!”

"No, my adoptive mother took Meng Wan to the Lin Mansion today. This lake tour must have been organized by the Lin family... Maybe the eldest daughter of the Lin family wants to meet me." Shen Jiaojiao said softly.

I don't know if these words are comforting Kexin or comforting myself.

"You're lying! That second young lady clearly wants to kill you!" Kexin knelt down heavily, "Miss, I am stupid and stupid. Without Sister Keying's exquisite thinking, I can't help you..."

"What are you talking about?" Shen Jiaojiao pulled her up from the ground.

"Miss, why don't we ask Keying..."

Ke Xin paused mid-sentence, as if she suddenly recalled something, her eyes bursting with joy.

"Miss, didn't Guangshan tell you to go find the young master if you have anything to do? Come on, let's go find him now!" Shen Jiaojiao fell silent.

Go to your sworn brother for help?

It would be better to just kill her.

She didn't want to face her sworn brother's unpredictable temperament again.

In just a few hours today, she had inexplicably angered her adopted brother three times without even knowing what happened...

If she continues like this, her sworn brother will sooner or later drive her out of the Meng Mansion once all the old love is gone.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaojiao shuddered.

"You don't need to bother your sworn brother with such a small matter." She said casually, pointing to the porcelain white bottle on the dressing table, "Help me put the powder on the red mark on my chin to cover it up."

This powder was given to her by Aoxue to cover up the traces.

"Has the young lady come up with a plan?" Kexin asked, walking to the dressing table, taking the powder and ointment, then returning and applying it carefully for her.

"Help me dress up first," she said.

Seeing that she was confident, Kexin gradually felt relieved.

Half the time for burning incense passed, and Keying came to urge her again.

Shen Jiaojiao happened to change her clothes and led the two maids out.

As soon as I went out, I saw a maid standing at the entrance of Mingzhu Courtyard, as if waiting for someone.

Shen Jiaojiao walked to the door of the courtyard and was a little surprised when she saw it was Aoxue.

Aoxue knelt down and saluted, "Miss, did you hear that you are going out?"

Ke Xin took a step forward and angrily shouted: "How presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to inquire about the whereabouts of the young lady?"

Aoxue glanced at Kexin, ignored her, and continued to stare at Shen Jiaojiao.

"I'm going out, what's wrong?" Shen Jiaojiao asked good-temperedly.

"The eldest lady is weak and it is not appropriate to go out today." Aoxue said, taking out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, "If you insist on going out, you can take this with you."

"What is this?" Kexin stretched out her hand to take it, but it was in vain and she gritted her teeth in anger.

Aoxue took her hand back and said, "This is just for the lady."

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the small bottle, and then nodded towards Aoxue, "Follow me."

The two of them came to the main room, leaving everyone else outside.

Aoxue presented the medicine bottle with both hands and carefully explained the uses of the medicine inside.

Hearing that it was a medicine to relieve physical pain, Shen Jiaojiao's entire face turned the color of pig liver.

Even her ears and neck were shockingly red.

"You, you, you..." She pointed at Aoxue, and you couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Aoxue put the ointment into her hand as if she had experienced it before, "Miss, if you feel uncomfortable, just take one pill. A maximum of three pills a day, remember not to take more."

"I see!"

Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly stuffed the medicine bottle into her sleeve and ran out as if running away.

Passing by Ke Xin and the other two, she lowered her head and whispered, "Let's go," and walked forward quickly, as if there was a savage beast following behind her.

The two of them looked at each other and hurried up without having time to ponder what was going on with their young lady's red face.

Arriving at the main entrance of the Meng Mansion, the three masters and servants saw a luxurious carriage parked there. Next to the carriage stood the maid Qingqi next to Mrs. Meng.

"Miss, you're finally here!" Qingmai came up to greet her, with a hint of complaint in her tone, "Madam, it's time to wait and be anxious!"

"Let's go." Shen Jiaojiao ignored her and was about to get on the carriage.

Qingmai stretched out his hand to stop him, "Hey, Madam said you don't need to bring a maid..."

"Just leave, my stepmother will understand me."

"Madam said..."

Shen Jiaojiao was annoyed, "If this is the case, I won't go!"
