Chapter 186 Delivering the News

In full view of everyone, the two left one after another and soon found a secluded place.

Lin Tingyue ordered her maid to guard the door.

Kexin and Yumei both raised their heads and looked at their young ladies, unwilling to listen to what outsiders said.

Shen Jiaojiao waved her hand, "Kexin goes out and guards, while Yumei stays."

She didn't dare to joke with her own life.

She and the eldest daughter of the Lin family were not at odds with each other. What if this one, like Meng Wan, intended to kill her?

You know, the concubine of the Lin family was deposed by her.

Seeing that she was guarding against him, Lin Tingyue frowned slightly, "Shen Jiaojiao, what do you mean? Are you afraid that I will hurt you?"

"Yes." She nodded calmly.

"You..." Lin Tingyue was choked by these words. 'You' couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

In the end, Yumei stayed in the house.

Perhaps because of Lin Tingyue's lack of strength, Yumei deliberately stood farther away, leaving room for the two of them to talk.

Lin Tingyue glanced at Yumei, "Why haven't I seen your maid before? You are much more sensible than the first one."

'The first one' refers to Kexin.

In the past, when the two girls had a quarrel, Ke Xin would always jump out to protect Shen Jiaojiao.

"You are wrong, she just thinks you are not a threat." Shen Jiaojiao said calmly.

Although she has never seen Yumei's martial arts, she believes that Yumei would not be so relaxed if she was not absolutely sure.

Lin Tingyue hummed slightly, raised her chin very high, and stood still in front of Shen Jiaojiao.

"Do you know what I want to do with you?"

She shook her head, "I don't know."

After saying that, he cautiously took a step back.

Once bitten, twice shy.

She was frightened by Meng Wan and did not dare to get too close to outsiders for fear that the other party would pull out a dagger.

"Why are you hiding? Can I eat you?"

Lin Tingyue rolled her eyes angrily, then took a deep breath. When she looked at her again, her eyes were full of seriousness.

"Shen Jiaojiao, I apologize to you on behalf of Lin Zhen."

Her eyes opened slightly and her face became a little ugly, "What are you talking about?"

Hearing Lin Zhen's name again, Shen Jiaojiao's attitude instantly became cold.

"I apologize to you on behalf of Lin Zhen." Lin Tingyue thought she didn't hear clearly, so she patiently repeated it again.

"What does it have to do with you?" she asked coldly.

Lin Tingyue later realized that Shen Jiaojiao was angry and hurriedly explained.

"A few days ago, I was detained by my family and was not allowed to go out, so I couldn't go to you immediately. Today I saw that you looked good, and I felt relieved.

"When I learned about Meizhuang, I immediately went and scolded him. He deserves to be like this today, and I will never blame you.

"I will not ask you to forgive Lin Zhen for what he did. Today I want to tell you that my Lin family is definitely not deliberately plotting against you as rumored outside..."

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't listen anymore, raised her hand and made a 'stop' gesture.

"Lin Tingyue, I know you are an upright person, but this does not mean that everyone in the Lin family is also so upright. You don't have to rush to excuse the Lin family. If the Lin family has never been involved, the government will naturally clear your name."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

"Wait!" Lin Tingyue had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed her wrist.

"I have something else to say to you."

She stopped and stared at the hand that was restraining her, "Let go."

"Shen Jiaojiao, listen to me, I have something very important..." Lin Tingyue refused to let go, and gradually increased the strength in her hands.

"I do not want to hear."

Lin Tingyue approached her, whispered in her ear: "This matter has something to do with the Shen family!"

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned and looked up at Lin Tingyue. Shen family?

How did Lin Tingyue know about the Shen family?

She had to admit that these words really aroused her interest.

"Yumei, wait outside the door." She ordered directly without looking at Yumei.

Yumei is a step-brother, who knows if the two have any contact in private? Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to take this risk.

It's something related to the Shen family, the less people know about it, the better.

"Yes." Yumei glanced at Lin Tingyue calmly, as if to assess whether she was in danger, and quickly walked towards the door.

Before leaving the house, Yumei said, "Miss, I'm right outside the door. If you need anything, call me."

"Okay." She waved her hand and asked people to go out.

Shen Lin was the only two people left in the house.

The location the two of them were in was a side room in Qingshui Pavilion.

Walking inside, there is a window facing the water.

Outside the window is a small pool with rugged rockeries and fish swimming in it, which is quite elegant.

Qingshui Pavilion got its name from its proximity to a small pond.

Lin Tingyue took the lead and walked to the window, grabbed a handful of fish food, and threw it into the pond while saying, "You are indeed very interested."

"Stop talking nonsense and let it go quickly." Shen Jiaojiao said in a bad tone, "If you can't explain why, I will..."

She didn't think twice about threatening her later.

The relationship between the two has never been good.

Of course, Shen Jiaojiao herself didn't have much objection to Miss Lin. It was Lin Tingyue who couldn't stand her unilaterally.

Lin Tingyue was good-looking and had a good family background, and even her talents were among the best in Lin'an.

Compared to Shen Jiaojiao's meek and submissive temperament, Lin Tingyue is more enthusiastic and generous. The title of Lin'an's most beautiful woman should belong to her.

It's a pity that the people in Lin'an are very superficial and only look at their faces.

She was lucky enough to get a good reputation, and the relationship between the two was forged...

"Tsk, such a bad attitude."

Lin Tingyue frowned, threw all the fish food in her hand outside, and turned to face Shen Jiaojiao.

"This is just the news I heard. I'm not sure if it's true. Just listen to it for fun."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "You say."

"I unexpectedly learned that someone is currently conducting a thorough investigation into the Shen family's treason case, which involves the court."

The sound was extremely light, as if it would dissipate with the wind as soon as it blew.

Shen Jiaojiao already knew this news.

She frowned, pretending to be very surprised, "Is this true?"

"I said, I'm not sure of the authenticity."

"Why are you investigating the Shen family's treason case? Is it... that my father did not commit treason?"

"I don't know, don't ask me." Lin Tingyue shrugged.

Seeing that the words had been brought, he turned around and walked out.

This time it was Shen Jiaojiao's turn to win over.

"Don't leave. Who did you listen to?" She tightened her grip on Lin Tingyue's sleeves, "Is it the nobleman who lives in the Lin Mansion?"

Lin Tingyue was taller than her. The two of them stood close to each other, and she could only look up at each other slightly.

"Stop asking." Lin Tingyue was stronger than her, so he easily took off her hand and ran out quickly.

Before she even had time to react, the girl disappeared.

"It seems that the noble people living in the Lin Mansion are also investigating the Shen family's injustice..." She stood there blankly and whispered softly, "I should ask my sworn brother."

Yumei said that the sworn brother also went to meet that person.

Is it possible that there will be new clues from Brother Defining?
