Chapter 189 Good News
Shen Jiaojiao's steps became more and more messy, and she could hardly suppress the panic in her heart.

How could this be?
What exactly is wrong?
Her heart was beating so fast, and she was afraid that Jiang Yi would follow, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Fortunately, there were no footsteps behind him.

Kexin and Yumei were waiting for her in front.

Seeing her panic, the two of them quickly helped her move forward, finding a quiet side room to rest for a while.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Kexin frowned worriedly, "I see you look very pale, but are you feeling unwell?"

Yumei made a quick decision and ordered: "Kexin, go and call Aoxue."

Yumei was a few years older than Kexin, and her temperament was calmer than hers. When she heard Yumei's instructions, Kexin was about to run out.

"I'm fine." Shen Jiaojiao said quickly.

She held down her racing heart and breathed heavily, "I'm just a little confused."

Yumei glanced at Kexin and said, "Go quickly."

Ke Xin obviously didn't believe that nothing happened when her young lady looked like this, so she immediately ran out.

After the others walked out, Yumei helped her young lady sit on the small couch.

A hand was placed on Shen Jiaojiao's wrist.

"Miss, your pulse is beating very fast." Yumei said.

"Do you still know medicine?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

She had to divert her attention and prevent her mind from being taken over by Jiang Yi, otherwise she would not be able to think about the problem at all.

"I don't understand, I can only take a quick pulse."

"I see."

"You care about Miss Jiang Er very much." Yumei said again.

Shen Jiaojiao was surprised, "Why do you say that?"

"You are not sick. You were frightened by Miss Jiang." Yumei made it clear, "Are you afraid that Miss Jiang will see through your relationship with the young master?"

"Do not……"

Yumei grabbed her wrist and interrupted her bluntly, "Miss, please forgive me for being blunt. The young master has never had any personal feelings for Miss Jiang. There is no doubt about this."

"no……"

Shen Jiaojiao wanted to say something, but was interrupted again.

"My servant and Yuzhu are the maids who grew up with the young master. We all see the young master's thoughts."

Saying that, Yumei cast a meaningful look at her.

"Miss Bingxue is smart, can you really not guess it?"

Shen Jiaojiao was startled at first, her face became more and more panicked, and then she pulled her hand away hard to prevent Yumei from holding her hand.

She couldn't guess, and she didn't dare to guess.

After getting along with each other for so many years, she knew that her adopted brother was indifferent to others and had very little regard for family ties.

Only for her, from the childhood sweetheart to the strict discipline when she grew up, she has always been different.

She once complained about her adopted brother.

Why should she be disciplined so harshly?

Obviously the two of them used to be so good...

After being tricked by Meng Wan, her resentment towards her adopted brother gradually turned into hatred.

If it weren't for the connivance of her sworn brother, how could Meng Wan have succeeded? Even her sworn brother is plotting against her!
Now that Yumei asked her, she was not sure again.

"Miss, what are you afraid of?" Yumei held her hand again, like an elder, and comforted her softly, "As long as you are willing, the young master has many ways."

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head vigorously, "I don't know what you are talking about!"

As she said that, she withdrew her hand again and said word by word: "The banquet is about to begin. Today is a big day for the Meng and Jiang families. We should go there early."

Yumei looked at her steadily, "Miss, the young master will not get engaged to Miss Jiang Er."

"This matter has nothing to do with me." She said harshly.

Seeing that she was still insisting, Yumei thought about it and decided to tell her something in advance.

"Miss, are you blaming the young master for not punishing Meng Wan?"

Shen Jiaojiao's expression tightened, "No!" "The young master has his own reasons, is the young lady willing to listen?"

"W-what's the reason?"

She couldn't help but ask, but soon realized that she shouldn't ask. She mixed her hands together, and her fingertips turned white from the exertion.

"The young master is checking on Meng Wan."

Shen Jiaojiao blinked and suddenly realized - as a slave, Yumei dared to call Meng Wan by her name.

Why 'Meng Wan'?
You should call me 'Second Miss'...

"Miss, have you guessed it?" Yumei smiled at her, "Now you should know why the young master has been keeping Meng Wan away, right?"

"B-but..." She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She had never thought about this level.

No wonder the sworn brother didn't dare to touch Meng Wan, no wonder the sworn brother kept asking her to wait.

Shen Jiaojiao went through the questions that came to her mind several times and swallowed them all, leaving only the most important question.

"Why are you telling me this? My sworn brother probably wants to keep it a secret, right?"

Yumei raised her hand and stroked the broken hair hanging on her cheek behind her ears, her eyes full of pity, "I have also watched the young lady grow up."

Like Yuzhu, how could Yumei bear to let her be so helpless?
"Sister Yumei..." Her eyes were red, and scenes from her childhood flashed through her mind.

Yumei always has a cold face. Shen Jiaojiao is afraid of her and has a closer relationship with Yuzhu.

But this cannot be denied, Yumei is also the sister who grew up with her!

"Miss, you don't need to panic." Yumei put her arm around her shoulders awkwardly and comforted her softly, "You haven't sorry to anyone. You only have to blame fate."

"Good fortune plays tricks on people?" Shen Jiaojiao looked puzzled.

"You and the young master should not have reached this stage today. Madam..."

The door was knocked open, interrupting Yumei's words.

"Miss, Aoxue is here!" Kexin dragged Aoxue in, "Quick, check Miss's pulse!"

Shen Jiaojiao raised her head and glanced at the two maids, then turned her attention to Yumei again, hoping that she could explain everything clearly.

When Yumei saw the visitor, she returned to her usual cold demeanor. She even let go of her hand and stood aside respectfully.

Aoxue quickly stepped forward to check her pulse.

"I'm fine." She waved her hand helplessly, "It's really fine."

With that said, he looked at Yumei again.

Seeing that Yumei was looking at her nose and heart, and had no intention of continuing to answer, she could only stand up.

"Let's go to the banquet."

Seeing her walking out, the three maids had no choice but to follow her.

On the way, Aoxue was worried, so she took her pulse and confirmed that everything was normal before she felt relieved.

Halfway through the journey, Shen Jiaojiao met Wei Lan who was looking for her.

"Jiaojiao, where have you been? Everyone is waiting for you." Wei Lan stepped forward and held her hand.

She told a little lie, "I went to relieve myself."

Wei Lan had no doubts, "Then let's go there quickly. Mrs. Jiang said that the good news will not be announced until you arrive."

"Why?" she asked curiously.

"I don't know." Wei Lan said.

The two walked while talking, and soon arrived at the banquet hall.

The lobby is very elegantly decorated, and even if it is full of people, it does not look cluttered.

Seeing her arrival, everyone turned their attention.

Just now, Mrs. Jiang personally said that this good news could not be told until Shen Jiaojiao was present.

The problem is that the news that everyone received is that the Meng and Jiang families are getting married.

There is only one unmarried son left in the Meng family.

That can only be a happy event between the eldest young master of the Meng family and Miss Jiang.

What does it matter whether Shen Jiaojiao is present or not?
