Chapter 148 Silent Confrontation
"Jiaojiao, don't worry, Wan'er really knows that she was wrong and is willing to change it." Chen Yuanli persuaded patiently.

He thought his wife was worried that Meng Wan wouldn't be able to tolerate Aunt Zhou...

Shen Jiaojiao frowned and looked at him. After a while, she raised the corners of her lips and said gently: "That's good."

pretty good.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

No matter what lies Meng Wan used to cover up, Chen Yuanli accepted them all, even ignoring the facts.

In the past, when she saw that Chen Yuanli was good at studying and relaxed in his work, she thought he was organized.

Now that she looked outside the frame, she realized how confused this person was.

If nothing else, just because Meng Wan ordered his servants to kidnap Aunt Zhou a few days ago, the two of them should not be brought together...

"Jiaojiao, if you agree, I want to be in the Pearl Courtyard..." Chen Yuanli said while looking at her face, "Put a small table, what do you think?"

"This slave has met the eldest young master."

"It's not that they mind, it's just that I'm embarrassed."

Chen Yuanli's voice dropped a little lower, "Jiaojiao, if my father-in-law and the others find out, I won't look very good on my face..."

She raised her eyebrows and glanced over in surprise, "Why would my adoptive father and stepmother care?"

She was about to find an excuse to refuse, when Kexin beside her suddenly coughed lightly.

Her intuition told her that there must be a ghost among them.

"Does the adoptive mother know?" she asked again.

When Chen Yuanli heard the words 'eldest young master', he suddenly jumped out and quickly opened the distance between the two of them, for fear of being seen by Meng Hui.

Chen Yuanli smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this...my yard was burned down?"

"Then it's in the front yard." She raised her finger and pointed to the front yard not far away, "Eating in the flower hall has a good view."

Chen Yuanli rubbed his hands in embarrassment, showing embarrassment.

Shen Jiaojiao looked back and saw Meng Hui striding across the threshold and walking in the direction of the two of them.

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao understood everything she should and shouldn't understand.

Shen Jiaojiao still didn't understand this reason and could only blame it on the man's pride——

"Why in the Pearl Courtyard?" she asked.

Chen Yuanli lives in the Meng Mansion, but he is not a visiting son-in-law. It might be embarrassing if he uses the venue of his father-in-law's house.

Chen Yuanli nodded, "I know, Wan'er took the initiative to mention it to her mother-in-law."

It seems that it was Meng Wan who suggested going to the Pearl Courtyard for dinner. Otherwise, how could the adoptive mother know about such a trivial matter?

With that said, Kexin saluted in the direction of the door.

"Is it possible that we, a family of four, still have to eat in the father-in-law's front yard?"

"Yuanli, I feel like today is not a good day..."

Meng Hui had warned him before that he was not allowed to get close to Shen Jiaojiao again before he obtained the title.

He still remembers this all the time.

When Shen Jiaojiao heard the movement, she quickly turned around and glanced at Chen Yuanli.

Seeing Chen Yuanli retreating, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart, and stretched out her hand to hold his arm generously.

"Okay, let's come to Mingzhu Courtyard tonight."

She smiled sweetly, her voice was soft, and her round eyes almost stuck to Chen Yuanli.

This was because she didn't tell the whole story on purpose, so that Meng Hui misunderstood that she wanted Chen Yuanli to stay overnight.

Meng Hui's already indifferent face became even more cold.

He glanced at the two of them lightly and walked over.

Chen Yuanli subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Shen Jiaojiao held it firmly.

She was also panicking, and her fingertips were trembling slightly.

Not only was he afraid that his adopted brother would scold him, but he was also afraid that his adopted brother would do something inappropriate in front of Chen Yuanli.

"Yuanli, what's wrong?" She looked up at Chen Yuanli, surprised by his sudden hand movement.

Chen Yuanli was embarrassed to admit his fear in front of her, so he forced a smile and said, "It's nothing." She nodded, raised her eyes to look at the person coming, and shouted obediently: "Sworn brother."

Just as he was about to force out a smile, the man looked over.

She was so flustered that she didn't dare to look at him.

Shen Jiaojiao, don't panic!
Make a difference!
Didn’t Guangshan make it clear before? It was the sworn brother who chose Meng Wan first and the sworn brother who deceived him first. Why should you care about his feelings?

Besides, you and Yuan Li are husband and wife!

What's wrong with holding hands? !

As she thought about it, Shen Jiaojiao became more determined and held Chen Yuanli's hand tightly, preventing him from withdrawing it.

Meng Hui rolled his eyes and fixed his gaze on her hand holding Chen Yuanli's, his expression becoming colder.

Chen Yuanli was so frightened that his legs and feet shook. He frequently lowered his head to look at Shen Jiaojiao, hoping that she would let go.

Shen Jiaojiao did not let go, Tingting stood, looking at her nose and heart.

The two faced each other silently.

"Are you going out today?" Meng Hui asked.

The voice was a bit deeper than before.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, I have already said hello to my adoptive father."

The man nodded slightly and moved his gaze upward, focusing on her beautiful face, as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.

She pursed her lips with a smile on her lips.

"Brother, Jiaojiao and I are chatting." Chen Yuanli had nothing to say.

Meng Hui said 'hmm', glanced at Chen Yuanli briefly, turned and left.

Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, leaned toward Ke Xin, and took advantage of the situation to let go of Chen Yuanli's hand.

Kexin stepped forward to support her tacitly.

"Be careful, ma'am."

She waved her hand, "It's okay. I feel guilty when I see my sworn brother. I'm afraid I can't change it."

As he said that, he gave Chen Yuanli a wry smile.

Meng Hui was strict with her, so it was normal for her to be afraid, and everyone in the Meng family knew it.

"Don't talk about you, I feel guilty even after meeting my sworn brother." Chen Yuanli looked sympathetic.

The two of them walked side by side to the Pearl Courtyard.

Shen Jiaojiao guessed that Meng Hui might be followed in the dark to see if she was of the same mind as Chen Yuanli, so she must be careful about appearances at this time.

Along the way, the two chatted all over the place and got along very harmoniously, as if they were back in the days before Meng Wan returned to his home.

When she returned to Mingzhu Courtyard, she immediately pointed out Kexin Keying to invite two people from Hanlian Courtyard and Xiyuan Courtyard.

Chen Yuanli felt even more happy when he saw her acting so appropriately.

Although I don't understand why she suddenly changed her attitude, I just assume that she has thought about it and no longer cares about it.

Thinking of the beautiful days when his wife and concubines would be harmonious in the future, Chen Yuanli felt excited and pestered her to continue chatting.

"Jiaojiao, I went to see my mentor today. He said that I will definitely be able to obtain meritorious status next year..."

"Thank you for accepting Ayan. I thought you would be petty and didn't want to let Ayan in."

"Wan'er did hide yesterday, but she didn't do anything. It's not what you thought..."

Shen Jiaojiao became impatient and glanced over, "Yuanli, you don't have to tell me this."

After saying that, I was surprised to see if my words were too cold.

What if Chen Yuanli sees the clue?
Just as she was about to speak to ease the atmosphere, the scene of her friend scolding Jiang Yi in the jewelry store suddenly appeared in her mind.

Wei Lan put one hand on her hips and pointed at Jiang Yi with the other, looking like a thin teapot. She put on a full display of momentum and made Jiang Yi speechless.

Thinking of this, she didn't want to endure it anymore.

"Have you found the housekeeper of the inner courtyard yesterday? He just committed a little trivial matter. The crime is not worthy of death, right?"

There is a thorn in the words, and every sentence pierces the man's heart, piercing his false self-comfort.

Chen Yuanli opened his mouth but was speechless.
