Chapter 184 Looking forward to the brilliance
"Not getting engaged?"

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't believe her ears.

She quickly reacted and looked at Keying doubtfully, "Why did you ask your sworn brother this question?"

Keying's eyes dodge, "Slave... I don't want to see you so sad."

As a maid who grew up together, she had already noticed that her young lady was already attracted to her, but she always refused to admit it.

However, since meeting Jiang Yi yesterday, something has changed about the young lady.

In order to make her young lady happy, she was willing to be the one who went beyond the limits and mustered up the courage to ask the young master what he meant.

Keying took a deep breath and knelt down.

"A slave should not make arbitrary decisions. Please punish me, Miss."

"What should I punish you for?" Shen Jiaojiao shook her head, "You are not me, so how can you know that I am sad?"

After saying that, he glanced at Kexin.

Kexin understood and quickly put down the tray in his hand, then walked over to help Keying.

Keying refused to get up and insisted on kneeling on the ground.

She put her forehead against the cold ground and explained in a low voice, "I was afraid that you would misunderstand the young master and keep the matter in your heart, so you rashly asked the young master..."

Shen Jiaojiao opened her mouth slightly, knowing that this girl was doing it for her own good, so she couldn't bear to blame her anymore.

What's more, what's the point of continuing to investigate after what happened?

"Get up, it's not a big deal."

Seeing that she didn't pursue the matter, Ke Ying was finally willing to stand up and help her wash up with Ke Xin and help her dress up.

After hesitating for a long time, while Kexin went out to pour water, Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help it anymore.

"Besides not getting engaged, what else did the sworn brother say?" she asked.

Ke Ying glanced at the woman in the scope, her hands moving continuously.

It's getting late, so hurry up and get dressed up.

"What do you want to ask, young lady?"

"That's what you told your sworn brother..."

Somehow, the more she spoke, the more she stuttered, and a blush quickly spread across her cheeks, which looked really good on Qing Shui Furong's face.

Ke Ying smiled understandingly, "The young lady would like to ask the young master why he went to see Miss Jiang yesterday? Or maybe she would like to ask the madam why she hinted that 'good things are coming'?"

Shen Jiaojiao was silent for a moment, then nodded, acknowledging what she said.

She was indeed curious.

The sworn brother specially took her to see Jiang Yi yesterday. He clearly had something to talk to Jiang Yi.

Otherwise, why would these two incompatible people meet in a teahouse?
Furthermore, the adoptive mother really said last night that Jiang Yi and the adopted brother had similar family backgrounds, so he was a good choice.

This shows that the adoptive mother approves of the marriage between the two.

"The young master did not explain why, but let me tell you that he has never thought of getting engaged to Miss Jiang Er, and it is impossible to get engaged to her."

Ke Ying paused and continued.

"The young master also said... please don't have any worries or feelings of guilt. He is just saving his sister."

younger sister?

She is indeed just a sister.

Shen Jiaojiao was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly, "I understand."

She knew in her heart that her sworn brother couldn't explain too much to Keying. If he was willing to give an answer, it was already pretty good.

It is also impossible for her to take the initiative to ask 'why'.

"Don't think too much, you are going to the banquet today, and everything that should be announced will be announced by then." Keying comforted her distressedly.

"I didn't think too much about it," she said harshly.

The thick and dense eyelashes drooped low, casting a light shadow under the eyes, covering all thoughts.

Kexin came back soon, and the two maids worked together to dress her up quickly.

They also brought a red dress for her to change into.

Shen Jiaojiao wanted to refuse, she couldn't wear such gorgeous clothes, but Ke Xin mentioned that she promised the servants yesterday, so she could only reluctantly accept.

After getting dressed, he hurried to the front yard.

This time, she only brought three maids. Yumei is good at martial arts and Aoxue is good at medicine. Just in case, these two people must be brought with them.

Ke Ying was thoughtful and originally wanted to take her with her, but Shen Jiaojiao needed her to stay in the house to handle matters, so she could only take Ke Xin with her.

When we arrived at the front yard, we saw no one.

It was already winter, the sky was freezing and the cold wind was blowing in through the cracks, bringing a biting chill.

Ke Xin went to ask the boy, and then learned that Mrs. Meng and Meng Hui were already in the carriage.

"Miss, let's get on the carriage quickly."

Shen Jiaojiao looked at Mrs. Meng's car frame, "Don't you have to go and see your adoptive mother?"

Ke Xin shook his head and said, "Madam specifically ordered that there is no need to be polite and we will leave as soon as everyone is here."

She nodded, "Then let's go up."

The horse's hooves tramped all the way towards the east of the city, and soon stopped in front of Lanshui Garden.

Lanshui Garden is located in the east of the city and is a famous garden in Lin'an. dignitaries have always liked to hold banquets here.

Meng Mansion is not far from Lanshui Garden, and it only takes a moment to arrive.

The car curtain opened, and Shen Jiaojiao leaned out half of her body with Kexin's support.

"Miss, watch your step," Ke Xin said, carefully helping her get out of the carriage.

When the master and servant raised their heads again, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Black hair, red lips, beautiful appearance, skin as fair as pearls, and a look of indifference between her brows and eyes.

Everyone looked at her with amazement.

Against the background of the red skirt and white robe, she is as delicate and bright as an independent wintersweet facing the wind in winter.

"Jiaojiao!"

Wei Lan was the first to squeeze out of the crowd and rushed to Shen Jiaojiao, staring directly at her with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"It's true that the fishes are falling and the wild geese are falling, the birds are making noises, and the flowers are shy and quivering in sorrow."

Shen Jiaojiao glared at her friend, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Don't let anyone tell you how beautiful she is?" Wei Lan was very proud, holding her chin high, "My Jiaojiao is indeed the most beautiful woman in Lin'an."

"Stop talking." She blushed, pulled Wei Lan aside, hid beside the carriage and bit her ear.

Everyone looked away as if they were waking up from a dream, but the topic gradually revolved around Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao and Shen Jiaojiao happened to be hiding next to Meng Hui's carriage.

He opened the curtain and looked down at the two of them.

Seeing her talking happily about what happened in the past two days, she would cover her lips and chuckle from time to time, looking forward to it.

The man's eyebrows became gentler, and the depths of his deep pupils were filled with affection.

His tenderness should be so carefree.

"Brother Ahun, you are here!"

A soft voice came from the side, interrupting the conversation between Shen Jiaojiao and Shen Jiaojiao.

The two of them turned their heads to look over at the same time, only to find that Jiang Yizheng raised his head slightly and looked behind them tenderly.

Shen Jiaojiao felt a chill on the back of her neck and looked up.

He happened to bump into a pair of deep pupils.

Seeing the softness in the man's eyes that had not faded away, Shen Jiaojiao was startled and blinked in disbelief.

The sworn brother actually has such a gentle side?
When she looked over again, she found that her sworn brother's eyes were cold and indifferent, without any emotion at all, as if the tenderness just now was just her illusion.

"S-sworn brother?" She murmured in a low voice.

Meng Hui nodded slightly, his eyes slightly narrowed, showing his usual cold and distant look.

Jiang Yi happily walked closer and stood beside the carriage.

"My mother asked me to pick you up." Jiang Yi quickly glanced at Shen Jiaojiao and added: "Pick you up."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't look at her, her eyes fell on Meng Hui.

Brother-in-law, how do you want to answer?
