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

Chapter 213 The man behind the scenes
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, she quickly put down the tea cup in her hand, and then reached out to push the tea cup in front of Meng Hui forward.

"Brother, drink some tea and moisten your throat before we talk."

She just hopes that this cancer can be removed as soon as possible!

Meng Hui raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

The temperature is just right.

It seems that the maids at Mingzhuyuan have become accustomed to controlling the temperature of the tea cups to be slightly hot at the entrance.

"Do you still remember the medicine Meng Wan gave you earlier?" Meng Hui put down the tea cup and asked.

Shen Jiaojiao's face turned red, "Remember."

That medicine was to make her and her adopted brother...

"I told you before that the source of the drugs is not simple. Following this line of investigation, my people quickly found out that Meng Wan is involved with people from the Western Regions."

"I remember that." She nodded.

Meng Hui's expression became serious and his tone became calmer.

"I originally thought she was trying to protect herself. After all, this world is not easy for women. But after further investigation, I found that things are not that simple.

"Meng Wan is not only involved with people from the Western Regions, she is really involved with the royal family of the Western Regions. That Western Region person is just the middleman who connects Meng Wan with the royal family.

"It's a pity that this line is far away in the Western Region and I can't dig deeper. I can only send people there to verify it first, and at the same time change other investigation routes. The result..."

Seeing how fascinated she was, Meng Hui gave up.

"guess what?"

She said 'Ouch' and said angrily: "I don't want to guess, please tell me faster!"

A slight smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth, and his tone was quite doting, "Okay, okay, I'll continue."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't notice the gentle eyes of her sworn brother at all, she was completely focused on Meng Wan's affairs.

Meng Hui made it clear directly, "The person standing behind Meng Wan is that one."

As he spoke, he raised his chin in the direction of the capital.

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened suddenly and she took a deep breath.

"Yi, sworn brother, are you talking about...the current emperor?"

"if not?"

"Cococo, but..." She stammered, unable to speak.

The man shook his head, "No but, that one is targeting the Meng family."

She frowned, "The Meng family is just a small businessman, why is that guy keeping an eye on us? He even set up a trap for his adoptive father..."

"Because of you." A trace of unbearability flashed in Meng Hui's eyes, but he continued to finish his sentence, "That person was worried that you would avenge your father."

"Ah?" Her eyes widened, "What nonsense is this? How can I take revenge?"

...It seems that the old emperor is really old and his brain is not working well.

What can she, a mere little girl, do to compete with a country?
Just by her mouth?
"It's not all because of you. He wants to keep an eye on the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan and be wary of them secretly lining up to support the prince." Meng Hui said.

What he didn't tell Shen Jiaojiao was that at least 70% of the reason was hers.

The old emperor placed servants in the houses of other wealthy businessmen, but the Meng family was the exception.

He tried his best to find a child who looked similar to Mrs. Meng, and raised him since childhood...

It can be seen from the side that the old emperor is very afraid of General Shen.

"I see." Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm just telling you, how could it be because of me? Brother, please don't say half of what you say."

If it was because she had caused trouble to the Meng Mansion and the real 'Meng Wan' was left to suffer outside, she would be very uneasy.

Meng Hui stretched out his hand to rub her head and said with a smile, "Do you still want to listen?"

"Yes!" She nodded immediately, "I don't understand, why is the Western Region behind Meng Wan?"

"Because that one extended his hand to the Western Regions, and he was the one who pushed the king to the throne in the Western Regions now." Meng Hui said.

Shen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and understood.

"The people from the Western Regions are in the light, and that person is in the dark. Most people will stop after they find out about the Western Regions, and they can't find that person at all."

But the sworn brother is not an ordinary person.

As long as you want to investigate, your sworn brother will definitely get to the bottom of it.

It was only a matter of time before we tracked down that person. "Jiaojiao is so smart." Meng Hui praised.

"No wonder you said this was a game against the Meng family." Shen Jiaojiao sighed, "No wonder you didn't want to tell me."

Fortunately, she had been thinking too much and misunderstood that her adopted brother Gu Nian and Meng Wan were her biological sister...

"Do you want to tell your adoptive father and mother?" she asked.

Meng Hui pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I won't say anything for now."

Shen Jiaojiao: "Why?"

"I sent people to keep an eye on Meng Wan for a long time, and found that she had severed all connections with her after entering the house. There is insufficient evidence at the moment, and rash actions will only alarm the people behind the scenes."

"You mean...keep it a secret?"

Meng Hui nodded, "Well, let's keep it private for now. I will find an opportunity to tell daddy."

Shen Jiaojiao hesitated to speak, and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay."

She was keenly aware again that her adopted brother really had a rift with her adopted mother.

There are only four people in the Meng family.

Both she and her adoptive brother knew about it, and the adopted brother planned to tell his adoptive father. Isn't this obviously because he was wary of his adoptive mother?
Is it possible...

When the sworn brother was investigating Meng Wan, did he discover something else?

Seeing that her mood was not high, Meng Hui thought she was sad that she could not punish Meng Wan, so he stood up and walked to her side, taking her into his arms.

"Don't worry, Meng Wan can't escape."

Her face was pressed against the man's abdomen, and the vibrations he made when he spoke seemed to penetrate her eardrums and knock into her brain.

With a bang, her whole face turned red.

"Yi, sworn brother, please let me go first."

"Ok?"

Meng Hui looked down at her and saw that her face was bright red, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud from his throat.

"Why are you blushing?" the man asked.

"I..." Shen Jiaojiao's lips parted, trying her best to control the urge to roll her eyes.

When she can't feel the strangeness on her chest?

Meng Hui stared at the top of her hair with deep eyes.

Why hasn’t Mr. Qian come back yet?

If he hadn't been stopped by that damn Gu insect, he would have carried him to the east wing by now.

Shen Jiaojiao was afraid that the man's bestiality would show up, so she quickly struggled.

"Brother, I have something else to tell you!"

Meng Hui held her down, his voice hoarse.

"Don't move."

She heard the lust in the tone, her body froze, and she didn't dare to move. She was afraid that the man would eat her up and wipe her clean, so she refused to close her mouth.

"I want to tell you about Prince Qing!"

Upon hearing the word 'Prince Qing', Meng Hui immediately let go of her and sat back down.

"Say it." The man pretended to listen carefully.

Prince Qing is looking for her, it's a big deal!
Shen Jiaojiao thought carefully for a moment and recounted the conversation between the two without reservation.

Including Prince Qing recalling the glorious past, revealing that the prince had framed her father, reaching a consensus with her on the investigation, etc...

"Then what?" Meng Hui asked.

"I thought he was a good person." Her eyes dimmed, "Later he asked me if my father left me a jade pendant..."

As expected of Prince Qing, he acted so realistically.

She was almost convinced that he was a good man.

"Jade pendant?" Meng Hui frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "Is it the jade pendant that Uncle Shen never leaves?"

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned, "How do you know?"
