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

Chapter 17 Mrs. Chiang

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and was keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere in the room.

She couldn't help but raise her eyes and look around.

There were many people sitting in the main hall, many of them familiar faces. The only one who was a complete stranger was a lady sitting on the left side of the adoptive mother, who was more noble than the host family.

At this moment, the lady was looking at her with inquiring eyes.

Her steps were messy, showing a little panic, and she subconsciously looked at her adoptive mother.

Mrs. Meng didn't seem to notice her embarrassing situation. She was leaning towards Meng Wan's ear and whispering something.

With just one look, Shen Jiaojiao knew that her adoptive mother would not help her.

She swallowed and stepped forward bravely.

"Jiaojiao has met her adoptive mother and all the ladies."

The voice was delicate and soft, like a ray of breeze blowing over the hills.

The stagnant atmosphere instantly relaxed a lot.

Shen Jiaojiao maintained her saluting posture and waited silently for her adoptive mother to call her.

The adoptive mother has such a good face that she will not be left out in the cold.

She also used a little trick to refer to all the ladies present as madam, so that she would not be neglecting the unfamiliar lady.

"Oh, Jiaojiao is here." Mrs. Meng seemed to have just seen her, waving to her with a smile, "Come on, this is Mrs. Jiang, you haven't seen her yet."

Shen Jiaojiao responded, walked up to Mrs. Meng, and saluted Mrs. Jiang on the side in a dignified manner.

"Jiaojiao has met Mrs. Jiang."

"Get up quickly, why are you doing such a false gesture?" Mrs. Jiang stretched out her hand to help her, looked up at her face, and couldn't help but admire.

"Jiaojiao is so handsome. She deserves to be the most beautiful woman in Lin'an."

"Ma'am, you're just kidding. This is all a reputation gained by outsiders and cannot be counted." Shen Jiaojiao replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"Oh, you kid is really..."

The affection in Mrs. Jiang's eyes almost overflowed, and she waved to her, "You look like a fairy, and you have such a good temper. Come to Auntie quickly and let Auntie admire her."

"Then you have to ask my adoptive mother." Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, turning to look at Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face.

"It's your fate to be able to get into Mrs. Jiang's eyes. Go ahead."

Shen Jiaojiao responded in a low voice and walked to Mrs. Jiang.

"It would be great if this child was my daughter." Mrs. Jiang held her hand with a smile, and the joy in her eyes did not seem to be fake.

Shen Jiaojiao was a little confused. It was obviously the first time they met, so why did Mrs. Jiang seem to like her so much?

"Is this the first time that Mrs. Jiang has met my eldest daughter? She is well-behaved and steady, and I have taught her carefully for more than ten years." Mrs. Meng took over the conversation, smiled at Mrs. Jiang, and patted her again. Meng Wan in her arms.

"Unlike my little daughter, who only acts coquettishly and behaves like a spoiled child, without any manners."

Mrs. Jiang smiled and held Shen Jiaojiao's hand tightly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mrs. Meng was praising Meng Wan in a roundabout way.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes.

There was still a peaceful smile on her face, so faint that no one could see through it.

The adoptive mother treated Meng Wan really well, and she praised Meng Wan both inside and outside her words - she behaved well in front of Mrs. Jiang because of her adoptive mother's good teaching and it had nothing to do with herself.

And Meng Wan, who has "no etiquette at all", showed her etiquette posture as early as when she was a guest at the Lin Mansion and out on a lake outing in the city.

Shen Jiaojiao opened her lips slightly and was about to speak when Meng Wanjiao's voice came from the side.

"Mother, why do you always talk about me like this?" Meng Wan pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly, "I know my sister is a hundred times better than me, but that doesn't mean I can only act coquettishly!"

"Okay, okay, my little ancestor, I won't say anything about you anymore, but I can't say anything about you." Mrs. Meng hugged Meng Wan and narrowed her eyes with a smile, "In my eyes, you are the best girl."

As she said this, Mrs. Meng looked at Mrs. Jiang sheepishly.

"Madam Governor, don't be surprised. The youngest of my family has such an eccentric temperament that she has to rely on me."

"Haha, how could it be possible? My youngest is also so annoying." Mrs. Jiang chuckled and did not answer any questions about Meng Wan at all.

She stretched out her hand and pulled Shen Jiaojiao to sit next to her, then turned to look at Mrs. Meng.

"My youngest is still young, and my eldest is about the same age as Jiaojiao. I wonder if Jiaojiao has ever been married? I fell in love with this girl as soon as I saw her."

Hearing this, Mrs. Meng and Meng Wan looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Shen Jiaojiao stiffened, hurriedly withdrew from Mrs. Jiang's arms, and knelt on the ground.

"Hey, you girl..." Mrs. Jiang thought she was unwilling, and her face suddenly darkened.

Mrs. Meng's voice sounded at the right time.

"Mrs. Jiang is joking. My Jiaojiao has been married for more than half a year. Don't scare her."

"Are you married?" Mrs. Jiang was surprised and looked down at Shen Jiaojiao who was kneeling on the ground.

"I thought Jiaojiao was an unmarried girl from Yunying. Look at her little face, it's so tender that you could pinch it."

With that said, Mrs. Jiang asked Shen Jiaojiao to stand up and sit next to her, never mentioning the affairs of her children's in-laws again.

Several people chatted again.

Shen Jiaojiao sat quietly aside, passing tea, water and handkerchiefs to Mrs. Jiang from time to time. She was very good at serving others.

Logically speaking, she was raised by the Meng family and shouldn't be able to do these things, but...

When Meng Wan was first brought back a year ago, she had not seen through Meng Wan's character. She thought that as a sister, she wanted to have a good relationship with her sister and indulged Meng Wan in everything.

Meng Wan often clings to her and likes to order her to do this and that in front of Chen Yuanli...

Thanks to Meng Wan's careful guidance, she developed the ability to observe words and emotions in just six months.

Looking back now, she wished she could spit on her humble self.

See how you have spoiled Meng Wan, doing all kinds of evil and evil!
"Sister, didn't you realize that Mrs. Jiang doesn't like your service?" Meng Wan's innocent voice sounded, and her bright eyes that were exactly the same as Mrs. Meng looked at Shen Jiaojiao.

"You are the master, so don't do the work that servants should do in front of the guests. It will look like your mother is treating you harshly."

The last sentence was spoken so quietly that only the four people sitting at the front could hear it.

Shen Jiaojiao came back to her senses and wanted to raise her hand to press her temples.

Again.

Meng Wan could always inadvertently say some strange and troublesome things.

But these words were only directed at her...

Just like what she said just now, Meng Wan was accusing her of being pretentious and ruining her adoptive mother's reputation...

Shen Jiaojiao looked at Mrs. Jiang in panic.

Seeing that the other party was hesitant to speak, she knew that her actions had indeed caused trouble to Mrs. Jiang.

"Mrs. Jiang, I, I'm comfortable with it, I'm used to it..."

She stammered and wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to say, and her whole face turned the color of pig liver.

Mrs. Jiang patted her hand and said, "It's okay. Jiaojiao is kind-hearted. It's my first time to be a guest in your house. I'm afraid I won't be used to it." The following words were addressed to Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng laughed dryly, "Yes, I don't know where this girl learned this trick. It's rare that Mrs. Jiang likes it."

With that said, Mrs. Meng stretched out her hand and pinched Meng Wan's cheek.

"You should learn more from your sister. We pamper her and pamper her, so she won't learn bad things. It's better for you, you don't do anything serious all day long, you just cling to your mother."

Meng Wan pouted, "No!"

Mrs. Jiang disdained Mrs. Meng's methods and did not respond at all. Instead, she became increasingly sympathetic to Shen Jiaojiao, the adopted daughter of the Meng family.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and bit her lower lip without saying a word.

As if remembering something, Meng Wan suddenly stood up and looked at Shen Jiaojiao.

"I suddenly remembered that there are desserts and tea prepared in the small kitchen. Sister, please accompany me to bring them."
