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

Chapter 166 The child of the Shen family
"How is it now?"

Shen Jiaojiao raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and looked at Mr. Qian expectantly.

"Is it easy to take it out?"

Mr. Qian nodded and shook his head.

"No, no, even though the Gu has not been completely planted, it will still take some effort to take it out."

"Please elaborate."

"The rest is fine, except for the medicine that attracts the poisonous insects, which is not available in Lin'an City."

"What kind of medicine is it? I'll ask someone to find it!"

"It's just... ugh! You don't even know if I tell you. I'll go home and get it."

Mr. Qian said, raising his hand to make some calculations, "This trip will take about three or four days. You two have to stay together before I come back. Remember not to separate."

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and asked urgently: "We have to stay together day and night?"

"Not really, as long as it's before midnight..."

Halfway through, Qian Lao got stuck.

"Before midnight?" She read it again.

"Just do what you did last night before the time comes!" Qian Lao snorted angrily, as if Shen Jiaojiao's elm head was angry.

"Y-last night?"

Shen Jiaojiao's brain exploded with a bang, her face heated up rapidly, and her whole body felt as if she was suffering from the cold.

Her eyes flashed slightly and she lowered her head suddenly.

I will never dare to look at Mr. Qian again in this life...

Meng Huixu clasped his hands, and when he glanced at the woman's slumped shoulders, a smile quickly appeared in his eyes.

"Why are you laughing?" Mr. Qian glared at Meng Hui, "Come with me, I have something to tell you!"

Meng Hui didn't ask any more questions and followed Qian Lao away.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her head, wondering why the two of them avoided speaking to her.

I wanted to follow him, but I couldn't do anything to eavesdrop, so I gave up in frustration.

Old Qian was short in stature, but his steps were fast. He left Meng Hui behind in the blink of an eye.

Meng Hui seemed to have expected that the old man was in good health, so he increased his pace slightly and chased after him.

"Did you see this pot of grass? I ask someone to water it every hour. Don't forget to do it.

“The remaining ones can be watered every three days.

"By the way, the one in the house is my baby. It should not be exposed to wind, sun or rain..."

Seeing Qian Laoxu chattering endlessly, Meng Hui raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows.

"You came to me just to talk about this?"

"Of course not. Don't you want to hear about your good sister's physical condition?"

Qian Lao rolled his eyes angrily and turned his face to the side, not bothering to look at Meng Hui.

Meng Hui was startled, "What's wrong with her body?"

"You can't die, and it's hard to cure." Qian Lao waved his hand and sighed, "She is the child of the Shen family, right?"

"Do you recognize General Shen?"

Mr. Qian fell silent, and a wry smile appeared on his face, which was as rough as old tree bark.

He suddenly knelt down and carefully tended the flowers and plants in the yard.

Meng Hui did not urge him and stood quietly aside.

After a while, an old voice came faintly.

"Who doesn't know General Shen? The God of War of the Zhou Dynasty has guarded the border for many years, scaring the enemy countries so much that they dare not invade.

"I have been at the border for five years and have seen many tragedies in which families were destroyed and people died.

"Do you know what it means to be a soldier? The children and women there will pick up sticks to defend their homes and countries when the enemy invades!

"I have never met General Shen, but I know that he brought peace to the border. It's a pity..."

After sighing heavily, the old man remained silent for a long time.

Meng Hui still stood without any reaction.

Qian Lao sighed again, and when Meng Hui didn't respond, he immediately raised his eyes and glared at him. "Aren't you a human being? Why don't you echo a few words when you hear such a nice person?"

Meng Hui raised his eyebrows slightly, "I have known Uncle Shen's deeds since I was ten years old. You don't need to popularize them to me."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Qian Lao thought he had believed the rumors outside and became furious.

"Those things you heard are all false! A heroic figure like General Shen cannot be treason. Someone must have framed him!"

"I know." Meng Hui raised his chin slightly and looked in Shen Jiaojiao's direction, "I'm checking too."

Investigate the unjust case of the Shen family and restore their innocence!
Hearing what Meng Hui said, most of Qian Lao's depression dissipated.

He stood up suddenly and patted Meng Hui on the shoulder.

"Good boy, I saw you right."

After saying that, he quickly walked into the pharmacy, looking for something inside.

After a while, Mr. Qian came out carrying a basket of medicinal materials.

Meng Hui reached out to take it and help carry it.

Mr. Qian smiled even more satisfied.

"Don't worry, Miss Shen, this sick old man, will definitely be cured, not counting this time."

The "not counting" in the old man's words refers to not paying back his kindness.

"It's up to you." Meng Hui said calmly.

He didn't care whether Mr. Qian repaid his kindness or not, and he didn't even take the matter of saving Mr. Qian to his heart.

It is not the behavior of a gentleman to take advantage of a favor and repay it.

Without even thinking about it, Mr. Qian dropped another bombshell news.

"Let me tell you, this sister of yours has been poisoned in addition to the worms in her body!"

"What?!" Meng Hui's heart trembled, and a crack appeared on his usually calm face.

"Mr. Qian, what do you mean?"

Shen Jiaojiao was poisoned?

When did this happen? He actually knew nothing about this matter!
"Tsk, it seems like your sworn brother can't do a good job, or is it that you don't have anyone with superb medical skills around you?"

Qian Lao clicked his tongue in surprise and looked at Meng Hui with a little contempt in his eyes.

"I thought Mr. Meng, the richest man in Jiangnan, was some powerful figure. He couldn't even detect poison."

Meng Hui said anxiously: "Stop talking so much. What kind of poison did Jiaojiao get?"

"Don't worry, although I can't tell what kind of poison it is, it won't be able to do anything to her for a while."

Mr. Qian touched the goat's beard, narrowed his eyes, and looked Meng Hui up and down.

"Hiss, your Meng family is really a 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'! The person behind the scenes has been poisoning her for several years. How old was she when she was poisoned..."

Meng Hui lowered his eyes, removing the coldness from his eyes.

He heard the ridicule in Qian's old words, but that was not the reason for his anger. What made him angry was——

How could Shen Jiaojiao be poisoned when she was young? And it's still poisoning continuously.

Who would do anything to a baby with breast milk?
"Will the poisonous insects induce toxins in her body?" Meng Hui asked in a deep voice.

Seeing his indifferent expression, Mr. Qian became angry again.

"What's wrong with you? You're still messing with me here. Go back home and catch the person who poisoned you!

"If your Meng family doesn't care about her, let her go quickly. Even if you follow me to travel around the world, it is better than suffering in your Meng family."

suffer?

Meng Hui's breath was stagnant, and he clenched his hands tightly.

The force was so strong that the handle of the basket was almost broken.

Shen Jiaojiao suffered a lot in Meng Mansion?
This is impossible!
Everyone in the Meng family respects her as the eldest lady of the Meng family. The food and clothing are the finest in the family. The entire Meng family dotes on her.

Speaking of 'bitter', Meng Hui felt that his harsh treatment of her should be the most painful thing she had ever encountered in her career as a young lady...

Thinking of this, Meng Hui secretly felt regret in his heart.

He shouldn't have been so harsh to her before.

"Don't worry, I won't let go of anyone who has hurt Jiaojiao." The man made a serious promise.
