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

Chapter 154 Feeling uncomfortable
"Then please make it clearer."

Meng Hui's face was as dark as water, and he stretched out his long hand and pinched Shen Jiaojiao's wrist.

In her surprised eyes, the man stood up and pulled her up.

She tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart and took two steps back, unwilling to get closer.

Shen Jiaojiao guessed that her adopted brother wanted to hug her.

If it weren't for her wrist being pinched, she could have run out directly.

Seeing her avoiding her in every possible way, Meng Hui felt even more uncomfortable. His already indifferent face was now as cold as frost.

"Tell me clearly, what happened, why don't you tell me?"

As he said that, the man pulled her to him with all his strength, completely ignoring that the force would hurt her wrist.

"Hiss!" She gasped, her eyes focused on her wrist.

She pursed her lips tightly, becoming more and more reluctant to speak.

Could it be that he wanted to hear the answer from her mouth and then mock her for not overestimating her abilities?
"I..." Her eyes were slightly red, her mouth opened and closed, and she wanted to say something, but thousands of words were stuck in her throat.

When Meng Hui saw her lowering her head and not saying a word, she looked like a dead pig not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, and he immediately became furious.

"Shen Jiaojiao, am I just going to deny your trust?" Meng Hui asked.

'After all, the second young lady is the young master's relative. '

My sworn brother is so smart, how could he not know?
What's more, this morning the sworn brother punished Guangshan to kneel outside the gate of Qinghui Courtyard. If Guangshan made no mistake, why did the sworn brother punish him?

He said the word "good" three times, shook off her hand, and walked away.

The biting chill penetrated her thin skirt, climbed up her calves, and then slowly climbed up, wrapping her whole body in the cold.

Her eyes darkened, she lowered her head and remained silent.

I once again thought about how my mother-in-law sided with Meng Wan many times...

Shen Jiaojiao still lowered her head and did not even cry out in pain.

Yes, they are a family, and the sworn brother will not argue with Meng Wan because of her.

It's just...she didn't understand why her stepbrother asked her repeatedly.

Shen Jiaojiao looked over in astonishment. It wasn't until the man's back disappeared from her eyes that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

My step-brother would never treat her like this...

What else is there to say?

"Good! Good! Good!"

She didn't believe that her sworn brother didn't know - even Kexin could guess her abnormality after Guangshan sent her back to Mingzhuyuan.

She didn't want to be such a humble person, and she humbly begged them to give her even a little bit of love.

Guangshan's warning sounded in her mind again, and Shen Jiaojiao was horrified.

My wrists were pinched so hard that it hurt.

His heart seemed to be clenched tightly by a cold, empty hand, and even his breathing was cold.

She breathed heavily, her head drooped, and her vision began to blur.

Soon, tears fell.

A pool of tears gathered on the ground.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by Aoxue's anxious voice.

"Miss, why are you sitting on the ground?!"

Aoxue rushed in three steps at a time, grabbed the clothes on her shoulders, and tried to pull her up.

"It's so cold on the ground and you haven't drained all the sunflower water yet. How can you ruin your body like this?"

Shen Jiaojiao raised her face and looked at Aoxue, "Aoxue, I'm not happy..."

As he spoke, his mouth pursed, and crystal tears rolled down his face.

Aoxue was startled and hurriedly knelt down and took her into his arms.

Her shoulders were shaking slightly, and she was curled up helplessly. Her sobs sounded, as suppressed as the wail deep in her heart.

Aoxue patiently comforted her until the crying gradually subsided, then she helped Shen Jiaojiao to an armchair nearby and sat down.

"What happened?" Aoxue asked. She buried her face in Aoxue's arms and said in a dull voice, "No, it's nothing."

Aoxue sighed, raised her face, and carefully wiped her tears.

"Who can you deceive by saying this? It's okay, why are you crying?"

"It's just okay!" She raised her head and stared at Aoxue softly with her red eyes, "I said it's okay!"

Aoxue shook her head helplessly and echoed: "Okay, okay, it's okay."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao cried even harder.

Aoxue had to scramble a lot before coaxing the little ancestor into peace.

"Miss, can I accompany you back to the east wing? It's freezing outside. It's not good for your health if you cry."

"I'm not going." She shook her head and looked at Aoxue pitifully, "I have no adopted brother."

"How could it be? Meng Hui must recognize you as my sister."

"I angered my adopted brother and pushed him away with my own hands." She sobbed, "From now on, my adopted brother will never pay attention to me again."

Aoxue knew the relationship between the two, blinked a few times, and asked in confusion: "Isn't this great? You have to leave anyway."

Shen Jiaojiao was startled, "Is this good?"

"Very good!" Aoxue affirmed.

"Then why do I feel so bad?"

Aoxue looked at her quietly, a flash of realization flashing in his eyes.

"Miss, you like Meng Hui."

This is a firm affirmation without even a hint of doubt.

Her eyes widened suddenly and she shook her head in panic.

"I didn't! How could I like him? He is my adopted brother!"

"It's not a big deal if you like someone. You don't have to deny it in a hurry."

Aoxue smiled and gave her an example.

"Now the eldest princess has brought back all the men she likes to the princess' mansion. What's the big deal?"

When the dynasty became more open, it was a normal thing for the eldest princess to have a good face and a good head, just like it was for a girl to marry another woman.

Most people in the world are open-minded and can accept it.

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head in disapproval, "This is not the same thing. I don't like my adopted brother. I only have the admiration for him that a sister has for an elder brother."

Seeing that she was in a strong mood, Aoxue quickly coaxed her and said, "Yes, yes, if not, no."

"You're perfunctory with me!" She complained with a pout.

"My lord, you are wronged! I am obviously trying to comfort you!"

Aoxue shouted that she was wronged and called her 'sir', obviously trying to make her laugh.

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but curl her lips, but felt that she shouldn't smile at the moment, so she quickly suppressed her lips, stood up and ran to the east wing.

Thinking of herself sitting on the ground crying in embarrassment, she felt very embarrassed, and her face turned red instantly.

Running all the way back to the east wing, she threw herself on the small couch and buried her face in the thin quilt, not wanting to see anyone.

Aoxue followed closely behind her.

Seeing her burying her head in an ostrich pose, Aoxue did not disturb her. She said softly, "Go out first," and turned around to leave.

"Hey!" Shen Jiaojiao called to her, "Are you looking for me for something?"

Aoxue felt a little funny when she saw her crying and not forgetting business, but she still turned back and patiently explained the situation.

"The young man came to report that Master Meng is back. Didn't you say that he would tell you as soon as he came back?"

Shen Jiaojiao said 'hmm' in a muffled voice, "I understand."

As she spoke, she sat up, holding a handkerchief to suppress the tears in her eyes, and raised her eyes to look at Aoxue.

"Where's Kexin? Why isn't she here to report to me?"

Ke Xin did this for her, so how could Aoxue come to report it?
Wait, why didn't Keying come in?
Where have these two maids gone?
