Chapter 140 Don’t dare to face it
Shen Jiaojiao stretched out her hand to pull Kexin up, but failed to pull him up several times.

Ke Xin didn't want to get up, and kept his back straight.

"This slave heard that Guangshan was punished to kneel all night in the eldest young master's courtyard. He is still kneeling at the door. It seems to have angered the eldest young master."

"I would like to ask the young lady, what happened? Was it a quarrel with the young master, or did Guangshan say something to the young lady?"

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and looked at her maid in surprise.

After being stunned for a long time, she got up from the bed.

"You can actually think of this level?"

As he said that, he looked at Kexin carefully, as if it was the first day he met her.

"Miss, after going through so many things, I should grow up, right?" Kexin held her forehead helplessly, "I asked Keying last night, and she said you and Guangshan should leave first. I suspect it was Guangshan."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to hide it from the two maids, but she didn't know how to talk about it last night.

Taking this opportunity, she simply told the whole story.

Hearing that it was Guangshan who said that Meng Hui had delivered news to Mrs. Meng, Kexin frowned and looked at her young lady with a look of disbelief.

"Young lady would rather believe Guangshan's words than ask the young master for details?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" She asked back calmly, "Guangshan is my sworn brother's most trusted servant. Even he said so, what's the point of asking again?"

Ke Xin shook his head and disagreed: "What if Guangshan lied to you? You didn't even ask, and you sentenced the eldest young master to death..."

"I don't want to humiliate myself."

"Miss, you don't dare to face it, do you?"

Ke Ying saw at a glance that she was escaping and tried to persuade her.

"Perhaps it is really a misunderstanding? The young master is so kind to you, how can he be willing to let you get hurt?"

Shen Jiaojiao sighed and stretched out her hand towards Kexin.

This time Kexin did not refuse, stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, and held her hand.

"Miss, you'd better ask first."

"I mentioned it to my adopted brother several times, but he kept delaying and failed to give me an accurate answer."

As she spoke, she gave a sad smile.

"Brother-in-law doesn't want to hurt Meng Wan. He has her as his biological sister in his heart. Why should I force him to make a choice?"

Ke Xin had never heard her say this before, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

There was a moment of silence in the house.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Shen Jiaojiao saw the confusion in Ke Xin's eyes, suddenly found it funny, and changed the subject.

"Besides this, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm going to sleep."

Kexin lowered her head and whispered to her: "Yes, yes. Sister Yumei came in with a message, saying that she would go back to the house to serve you."

She rolled her eyes and quickly guessed Yumei's intention.

There is no need to wait and see, but I am just worried that the assassination last night will happen again.

It stands to reason that only she, her adoptive brother, her adoptive mother, and Meng Wan knew about the assassination. The adoptive mother and Meng Wan would definitely not tell anyone about it, only the adoptive brother.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the sourness in her heart.

So what if the adopted brother is thinking about her?

He still chose Meng Wan...

"It's good. Yumei is good at martial arts. I feel more at ease with her in the house." Shen Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, "Then let Yumei come into the house to serve."

"Yes." Kexin responded, then leaned into her young lady's ear and whispered, "Wang Zhu was quietly sent away by Governor Jiang."

"What's going on?" she asked.

Kexin's voice was low, "Since he was taken to prison, Wang Zhu suffered several assassinations, and Yumei was almost unable to protect him."

"Meng Wan is getting anxious." Shen Jiaojiao sighed, "Ask Yumei to send some people to escort Wang Zhu away. As soon as he leaves Lin'an City, Meng Wan will be beyond reach."

Although Wang Zhu had harmed her, he was deceived by Meng Wan. Wang Zhu didn't have any subjective malice towards her, and was even willing to come forward to identify Meng Wan. For this reason, she couldn't let Meng Wan harm him easily.

"Don't worry, Miss." Kexin agreed again and informed her of the latest news.

"The Lin family has not made any move. The eldest young master seems to be investigating the Lin family. Guangshan once told me to be careful when I find anyone from the Lin family."

"After rejecting Pavilion Master Murong's overtures last time, there was no news from there and no one contacted us again."

"When Aoxue left the house to perform acupuncture on Mo Gan, she was followed by the eldest young master's people. The servant guessed that the young master was doubting Aoxue's origins."

After listening to the report, Shen Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you for your hard work." He said, patting Kexin's hand, "Don't worry about the Lin family and Murong Zi. If there is nothing else, call Aoxue for me."

Ke Xin left quickly and brought Aoxue back in a moment, while she stood guard at the door to be wary of eavesdropping.

As soon as Aoxue entered the door, he saw her lying on the bed, her eyes slightly closed, and she seemed to be asleep.

Walking over lightly, Aoxue put his hand on her wrist and checked her pulse carefully.

"How?" Shen Jiaojiao's voice sounded.

"Miss, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course it's the truth."

"Your body is recovering slowly. Be careful not to catch cold. I will give you strong medicine to treat you next month."

After hearing Aoxue's words, Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, "I understand, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Aoxue glanced at her pointedly.

"My lady is severely deficient in kidney essence, so she should be more restrained in sexual intercourse."

"Don't talk nonsense!" She buried her face in the quilt to cover her red face.

Aoxue can even diagnose sexual intercourse...

In addition to being surprised, she felt a little ashamed and wanted to drive Aoxue away.

Seeing that she was acting like a child, Aoxue could not help but purse her lips and chuckle. She did not leave, but instead took the initiative to talk about business.

"Uncle Mo seems to have made a major discovery. He wants to meet you in the afternoon. Can you arrange it?"

Shen Jiaojiao sat up like a carp.

"Did you find evidence of guilt?!"

"We don't know yet."

"Tell him that we can meet. I'll fix the address. It's at Zhiwei Teahouse in the east of the city."

"Okay." Aoxue nodded and went to send a message to Mo Gan for arrangements.

Shen Jiaojiao thought for a while, then called Kexin in to deliver a post to Wei Lan and invite her friends to go shopping in the market.

She wanted to use Wei Lan as cover.

Kexin frowned and asked, "Isn't the lady grounded? Madam doesn't allow you to go out."

She slapped her forehead and said 'Oh', remembering this important thing.

Not only was she grounded, but she could only go out with her adopted brother, euphemistically saying that she was going to 'visit the owner of Yingyuan'...

Ke Xin obviously thought of this and suggested, "Why don't you ask the young master for help?"

"No!" She snorted coldly, "Don't mention him in front of me in the future."

Ke Xin was stunned, "How will the young lady get out of the house?"

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned by the question.

Is it possible that I really want to seek my adopted brother?
But...she made her adopted brother half angry to death yesterday!

Just when the master and servant were in trouble, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Miss, the master and the eldest young master are here and waiting in the main room." Keying's voice sounded.

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

When she heard that her sworn brother was coming, Shen Jiaojiao's expression changed, with displeasure written all over her face.
