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

Chapter 193 Eavesdropping
What do you mean by this?
What does 'benefit' mean?
Is it possible that her marriage to Mrs. Jiang today was part of her sworn brother's plan?
Shen Jiaojiao's figure swayed, almost losing her footing, and she fell to the side.

Fortunately, Jiang Yi was quick to help her.

"Thanks……"

"Shh! Keep your voice down and don't disturb Brother Ah Hui. What if he mistakenly thinks we are eavesdropping?"

Jiang Yi's words brought her back to her senses completely.

She looked around a few times and was surprised to find two people standing outside the window of a wing.

Apparently, the voice came from the side room.

"Then let's go." Shen Jiaojiao said in a low voice.

Jiang Yi shook his head and refused to leave, begging her to stay and listen to the corner.

"I don't want to leave, Ah Huan is inside."

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes and quickly grabbed Shen Jiaojiao's critical point.

"Don't you want to hear what he's talking about? What Brother A'hun just said was clearly talking about you. Do you really don't want to hear it?"

Shen Jiaojiao was silent.

Of course she did.

She wanted to know what her step-brother's words meant, and what on earth was her step-brother planning?
If they just recognized their relationship, there was no need for the step-brother to hide it from her. Could it be that... the step-brother wanted to use her relationship with Mrs. Jiang to get in touch with the Jiang family?
Voices came from the side room again.

Mrs. Meng seemed to react for a while, finally processing what her eldest son said.

"You mean, the Meng family waterway depends on Shen Jiaojiao's relationship?"

Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Hui in disbelief.

"Ahui, are you kidding me? When you marry Miss Jiang and the Meng and Jiang families are married, how can Mr. Jiang still block the Meng family's water transportation?"

"He wishes you could bring your business to the capital, wishes you could be filial to him, wishes his daughter could live a prosperous life!"

Meng Hui waited patiently for her to finish speaking, and then he spoke slowly, "Not even a single character."

Mrs. Meng was anxious, "Why didn't you say anything? I think the Jiang family also has this intention. It just so happened that Jiaojiao recognized Mrs. Jiang as her adoptive mother. If you get married to the second Miss Jiang, isn't that a kiss? "

"I will handle my own affairs."

"Take care of it! How old are you? People of your age would be so embarrassed!"

An intriguing smile appeared on the corner of Meng Hui's lips, "Mom, just take care of Meng Wan."

"No! My parents have ordered a matchmaker. Even if I go to talk to Mrs. Jiang right now, you can't refuse!"

After leaving these words, Mrs. Meng walked out angrily, wondering if she wanted to discuss it with Mrs. Jiang.

Outside, by the window.

Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yi looked at each other.

The two of them did not expect to hear Mrs. Meng and Meng Hui arguing.

Jiang Yi was the first to react, covering his lips and laughing softly, "Jiaojiao, it turns out that Brother A'hun really has me in his heart!"

Meng Hui's words "Not even a single word" sounded like he was admitting that he wanted to marry Jiang Yi.

"Congratulations." Shen Jiaojiao offered her blessing.

Apparently, she thought so too.

According to the sworn brother's temperament, if the sworn brother does not want to be engaged to Jiang Yi, he will definitely say so openly.

But the step-brother didn't say anything, and even used the phrase "not a single stroke of eight characters" to deal with the step-mother...

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head with a complicated expression, and clenched her hands tightly at her sides.

The force was so great that even the fingertips turned white.

Jiang Yi was still talking on the other end.

"Jiaojiao, I believe that Brother A'hun will never plot against you. There must be some misunderstanding. Let's find out together later."

"Sure enough, I was right about the person. Brother A'hun must not want the relationship between me and him to be mixed with other things."

"Jiaojiao, do you think he wants to solve the water transportation route as soon as possible before announcing the good news of his engagement to me?"

The words full of the girl's thoughts made Shen Jiaojiao's heart sink to the bottom.

Is that so?

Her intuition told her that her sworn brother was not such a person. He would not use such methods, let alone use them against her. But in the back of her mind, she inexplicably remembered that when Meng Wan plotted against her, her sworn brother not only failed to stop him, but actually added fuel to the flames...

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She reluctantly suppressed the bitterness in her heart and refuted Jiang Yi's words rationally.

"Brother-in-law is not such a person. He will never take advantage of my godmother-in-law relationship with Chiang to seek benefits."

After a pause, she continued: "When will Second Miss Jiang plan to announce her engagement to my adopted brother?"

Jiang Yi didn't seem to expect that she would ask this question, and it took him a long time to react.

"I-I don't know..."

"Then it's my sworn brother's fault. When I see him later, I will ask him clearly for you." Shen Jiaojiao said.

She didn't even notice it, but she said 'my adopted brother' in a very unhappy tone.

Jiang Yi saw that she was unhappy, and thought she was angry with Meng Hui for plotting to 'acknowledge marriage'.

Thinking that he would marry into the Meng family and get along well with Shen Jiaojiao in the future, Jiang Yi didn't care about anything and said casually: "Let's ask later."

Neither of them noticed the sound of footsteps approaching slowly.

'crunch—'

The side window was pushed open.

The man's hand was still on the window handle, his figure was upright, and his outline was clearly illuminated by the light and dark light. He was looking down at the two people.

The light-colored thin lips were slightly opened, and she spoke indifferent words.

"What are you doing here?"

Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yi were frightened and screamed, but they quickly realized what they were doing and raised their hands to cover their mouths.

It would be terrible if the screams attracted people!

Meng Hui's eyes fell on Shen Jiaojiao and saw that her clothes were thin and her handsome face was stained with a hint of anger.

"You are not in good health, how can you catch the cold?"

After saying that, he walked out quickly and put his cloak on the woman.

The cloak is very warm and seems to carry the warmth of a man's body.

A very faint scent of osmanthus enveloped her.

The tips of Shen Jiaojiao's ears were slightly red, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to let Jiang Yi see her.

"Thank you, sworn brother."

The voice was as thin as a mosquito or a fly, with a bit of trembling.

She didn't dare to admit that she was actually happy at the moment, happy that her sworn brother cared about her in front of Jiang Yi.

Even if the thought is despicable.

Meng Hui patted her thin shoulder and took a step forward, as if to protect her behind him.

Jiang Yi saw him looking over and looked back expectantly, waiting for him to speak.

"Second Miss Jiang, when will I get engaged to you?" Meng Hui asked.

As the words fell, Jiang Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

The man frowned and said, "Please respect yourself and don't arrange it arbitrarily. It will cause misunderstanding."

The voice of the latter sentence suddenly became tender.

Jiang Yi didn't bother to think about the reason, and subconsciously reached out to grab Meng Hui's sleeves, praying pathetically.

"Brother Ah Hui, you must be scaring A Yi, right?"

Meng Hui withdrew his hand, took a step back, and distanced himself from Jiang Yi.

"You should go back and ask Mrs. Chiang."

After saying that, the man lowered his head and looked at Shen Jiaojiao, his eyebrows soft.

"I'm glad you can trust me."

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head guiltily.

She didn't believe her sworn brother just now, she was just being tough...
