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

Chapter 173 Making things difficult
The wheels rolled forward.

Shen Jiaojiao was silent for a long time, and finally turned back with a bright smile on her face.

"Why do you say that? Didn't you know that I was leaving? It's absolutely impossible for my sworn brother and I to leave."

Kexin shook her head, "I don't understand, but I know that if the young lady wants to take the initiative to fight for it, what is yours will definitely be yours."

"What if he shouldn't be mine?" she asked.

"Then you have to take the initiative to fight for it before giving up." Kexin stretched out his hand to pull her back and lowered the car curtains. "It's cold outside. Miss, be careful of getting sick from the cold."

"Drink a cup of hot tea to moisten your throat." Keying brought a cup of tea in front of her.

Shen Jiaojiao stared at the tea and said nothing.

"This is warm tea, not hot. Miss, feel free to drink it." Keying advised again.

She nodded, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea in one gulp.

When Ke Ying saw her drinking water like a cow, she knew she was very thirsty and poured her another glass.

This time, she took a sip and put it down.

"Okay, don't try to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind and I won't change it again."

After saying this, she closed her eyes, closed her eyes to rest, and assumed a nonchalant attitude.

Ke Xin Keying looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

The driver who drove the carriage was Meng Hui's man. He only listened to Meng Hui's words and the carriage quickly returned to the Meng Mansion.

As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Lian Yi waiting at the gate beside Aunt Zhou, looking quite anxious.

The moment she saw Shen Jiaojiao, the little maid's eyes lit up and she immediately ran towards her.

"The eldest lady is not good! The second lady asked my aunt to take care of her early in the morning, and we are not allowed to follow her in. She hasn't come out yet!"

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, looking helpless.

Her adopted sister really can't be idle for a moment, and she can cause some trouble every day.

"Where is my uncle?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"The second young lady waited for my uncle to leave before letting my aunt take care of him. I wanted to send someone to call my uncle back, but the concierge refused to let me out."

Hearing this, the concierge boy was unhappy.

"You are so rude, maid. I have told you several times that no servant is allowed to come in or out without the master's token."

As he said that, he looked at Shen Jiaojiao with a sad face.

"Miss, you must not listen to her nonsense. Madam ordered us to strictly check the tokens. It's very difficult for me too!"

Shen Jiaojiao waved her hand, "Nothing, no wonder you, you also followed orders."

After shooing away the concierge boy, Shen Jiaojiao asked Lian Yi to go with her.

"Where did Aunt Zhou go to serve her?"

She remembered that she had agreed yesterday to let Meng Wan move to the main courtyard to live with her adoptive mother.

Did Meng Wan call Aunt Zhou to the main courtyard?
Can the adoptive mother tolerate this?

"In Hanlianyuan!" Lian Yi said.

"Why are you in Hanlianyuan? Where did Meng Wan stay last night?" Shen Jiaojiao turned to look at Kexin.

Obviously, the latter sentence was asked about Kexin.

"Miss, the second lady stayed in Hanlianyuan last night, and my uncle was also in Hanlianyuan," Ke Xin said.

"It's really strange. Why would Yuan Li accompany her to fool around? Didn't it mean that Hanlianyuan didn't have any servants to serve her?"

"Miss, I don't know. Last night, my wife called some maids from the main courtyard to come over. Among them was my aunt."

Shen Jiaojiao's pupils shrank suddenly, "Marrying aunt?"

Why does the adoptive mother care so much about Meng Wan?

Even the dowry aunt who got married called back, just to help Meng Wan.

You know, this dowry aunt is also the foster brother's nanny.

"Let's go to Hanlianyuan." Shen Jiaojiao pretended to be calm and walked in the direction of Hanlianyuan.

……

Mengxianju. As soon as the carriage marking the Meng Mansion drove into the backyard, Li Shang rushed over after hearing the news and stood respectfully aside.

The car curtain opened and Meng Hui strode out.

Li Shang was stunned for a moment, looking at Meng Hui, who was dressed in dark red, with a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

The two have known each other for so long, and this was the first time he saw Meng Hui wearing a color other than black and white...

"Why are you looking at me?" Meng Hui asked.

"Oh, isn't this the first time I've seen you wearing red? You look so good!" Li Shang came up to him with a smile and personally helped him out of the carriage, "Mr. Meng, what brought you here?"

"I have something to do with you, go upstairs."

Meng Hui was too lazy to exchange greetings with him. After leaving these words, he left him and walked quickly towards the third floor of Mengxian Residence.

Li Shang was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the waiter.

"What happened to your boss? Did he eat explosives? Why did he catch fire so quickly?"

The waiter shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know."

Even if you give him 800 more courage, he won't dare to talk about the big boss behind his back!

"Look at your potential!" Li Shang snorted and ran up to the third floor.

The waiter sighed from afar, "You bitch!"

Arriving on the third floor, Li Shang opened the door and saw Meng Hui sitting on the imperial chair.

A few tea sets were placed in front of them, obviously to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

Li Shang's heart thumped, and his legs and feet went weak.

Could it be that Meng Hui wanted to settle a score with him? !
He had accidentally leaked something in front of Shen Jiaojiao, letting her know that the two had been engaged...

Did Shen Jiaojiao tell him this?

"Li Shang, come here." Meng Hui looked at him steadily with deep eyes.

His long fingers were placed on the tea table, tapping rhythmically, one after another, which invisibly put great psychological pressure on Li Shang.

Li Shang couldn't stand any longer and walked in with trembling legs and feet, not forgetting to close the door.

But he couldn't let his subordinates see Meng Hui beating him, otherwise he would not be able to control others in the future.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have told Shen Jiaojiao about your engagement."

Li Shang sat in the seat furthest away from Meng Hui with a sad face.

"If you want to be beaten or scolded, please do as you please!"

Meng Hui paused in tapping his fingers, then leaned forward suddenly, sweeping toward Li Shang with thunderous pressure.

Li Shang shrank his neck and looked at Meng Hui pitifully like a quail.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm afraid..."

Meng Hui took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "When did you know about it?"

"I heard it as soon as you told me." Li Shang smiled awkwardly, "But I saw that you were not in a good mood at that time, so I didn't dare to say more."

Meng Hui paused and then asked, "When did Shen Jiaojiao know about it?"

Li Shang scratched his head, feeling increasingly panicked.

"Just yesterday, she and Wei Lan came to Mengxianju together. For some reason, they walked outside the door and heard the conversation between me and the people over there."

Meng Hui fell silent, "Why didn't you talk about the engagement yesterday?"

Li Shangming told him yesterday that Shen Jiaojiao had heard about the young Marquis and knew that he was investigating the Shen family's injustice.

At that time, he didn't care that Shen Jiaojiao knew about this, but was actually a little happy.

If Shen Jiaojiao knew that he was redressing the case for the Shen family, she would be very happy, right?

It turned out... Li Shang stabbed him secretly.

No wonder Shen Jiaojiao was in a bad mood. She didn't want to be grateful, but wanted to cut off the relationship with him.

"Forget it, let's forget about it for now." Meng Hui pinched his eyebrows, with a look of helplessness on his face, "It's good that you know, sit here, I have something to ask you."
