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

Chapter 214 Times have changed
When the accident happened to the Shen family, the sworn brother was still young. How could he know that General Shen had a jade pendant that never left his body?

and many more!

Shen Jiaojiao remembered.

Previously, she inadvertently overheard the conversation between Li Shang and the mysterious man in Mengxianju, and then Li Shang confessed to her that his sworn brother was investigating the Shen family's injustice.

Could it be that the sworn brother has already found the jade pendant?

But... the jade pendant should have nothing to do with the case.

Meng Hui glanced at her and asked, "Don't you know that I am investigating the Shen family's treason case?"

She nodded, "I know."

"You can keep your composure." The man smiled, "Why don't you ask me how the jade pendant is related to the case?"

She lowered her eyes, tightened her palms slightly, and held her sleeves in her palms.

"I'm afraid of embarrassing you..."

"It's not difficult." Meng Hui picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "I checked many files and found that General Shen's jade pendant was missing and was not recorded."

It stands to reason that to execute a whole family, one must first confiscate the family and then behead the person.

Confiscated property will be recorded.

But he looked through all the books and couldn't find General Shen's jade pendant.

Shen Jiaojiao asked softly: "Since it has not been registered, does it mean that this jade pendant does not exist?"

Meng Hui took out a folded yellow paper from his arms and handed it to her, "This is the Shen family information I have compiled. You have time to read it."

If he only looked at the case files, he would naturally not know about the jade pendant.

But Mr. Meng has always been very thoughtful. In addition to the case files, he also ordered people to collect the actual records of the border areas and read them carefully.

The actual records indicate many times that General Shen had a jade pendant that never left his body.

"Thank you, sworn brother." Shen Jiaojiao took it.

She put away the yellow paper and looked at the man again.

"Does the actual record explain what the shape of that jade plum is?"

"Yes." Meng Hui nodded, "It seems to be a fish-shaped jade pendant, exquisitely made, with the word '深' carved on the tail of the fish."

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao's back stiffened, her heart thumped, and she clenched her fists subconsciously.

Fortunately, she lowered her head at this moment, and Meng Hui couldn't see her face.

The style described by her adopted brother was exactly the same as the jade pendant Mogan asked Aoxue to give her!
In other words, Mo Gan really gave Shen Jiajun to her...

Give such important things as you say.

If she had doubts about Mo Gan before, now she is 100% convinced.

Mo Gan has no selfish intentions towards her!
In this way, she had to believe that Mo Gan had testified about her adoptive father framing her biological father. The adoptive father was most likely the culprit who caused the entire Shen family to be executed!
The more Shen Jiaojiao thought about it, the more panicked she became. She felt as if her head was blocked, and she couldn't get up or get down.

Seeing that she kept her head down and didn't speak, Meng Hui asked, "What's wrong? Do you have any news about the jade pendant?"

She shook her head quickly, "No, no."

"Why are your eyes red?" The man frowned, "Are you homesick?"

This 'family' refers to the Shen family.

She was two or three years old when she was brought to the Meng Mansion. Maybe she still had memories of the past in her mind.

Seeing that her adopted brother had made an excuse for her, Shen Jiaojiao walked down the slope and accepted it happily.

"Well, I, I don't know what to say."

Meng Hui's eyebrows moved, "Do you still remember that jade pendant?"

She waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I just feel uncomfortable thinking that I am the only one left in the Shen family..."

Meng Hui sighed and held her hand.

A warm and dry big hand gently placed on the back of her hand, and his fingers moved to open her clenched fist.

"Let go, the injury on your hand is not healed yet." Shen Jiaojiao said 'hmm' and let the man hold her hand gently.

When talking about the Shen family, her heart always felt cold.

This is an untouchable forbidden area.

She desperately wanted to draw strength from her adopted brother.

After she calmed down a little, she asked again.

"Is there anything wrong with this jade pendant? Why do you care so much? Why did Prince Qing mention it specifically?"

"Although the news has not been verified, it doesn't hurt to tell you." A glimmer of light flashed in the man's deep eyes, "It is said that this jade pendant is the Shen family's military talisman and can order the Shen family's army."

"Shen Jiajun?" The surprise on Shen Jiaojiao's face did not seem to be fake, "How can there be an army? Does the Emperor allow generals to raise private soldiers?"

She deliberately pretended to be surprised.

She had heard Aoxue talk about the use of the jade pendant before, giving orders to Shen Jiajun and so on...

She wanted to ask Aoxue at that time, why does General Shen have private soldiers? Isn't the emperor afraid that he will support himself with troops?
It's a pity that Aoxue definitely doesn't understand this.

"The Shen Family Army was formed by General Shen. It is equivalent to the guards of the general's palace. This strength is allowed by the court." Meng Hui said.

"Oh!" She nodded in understanding.

"Everyone says that these soldiers are capable of defeating a hundred. Prince Qing must be coveting this army."

"Is there really a Shen Jiajun?"

Meng Hui pinched her little finger and said, "I wasn't sure at first, but once Prince Qing takes action, I'm pretty sure that Shen Jiajun is real."

Prince Qing was a staunch royalist and could not act haphazardly.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, still a little unimaginable.

"It's amazing. A jade pendant can command the army. Isn't that the same as a tiger talisman..."

"How can this be compared to the Tiger Talisman?" Meng Hui smiled, "I estimate that this team has at most a hundred people. Moreover, times have changed, who knows if the Shen family army is still there?"

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

General Shen is dead and the Shen family army is leaderless. How can they continue the glory of the past?
"That's right..." Shen Jiaojiao nodded.

She didn't dare to let her adopted brother know that the jade pendant was in her hands.

It's not that I don't trust my adopted brother, but I'm worried that after he finds out the truth, he will help me instead of helping me.

After learning the importance of the jade pendant, she completely believed in Mo Gan.

The foster father is the one who harmed the entire Shen family!

She wanted to find evidence of the crime as soon as possible and leave the Meng Mansion.

Thinking of this, she concealed all her emotions and gently brought the topic to a close.

"Brother, I plan to ask my adoptive father and mother if they have seen this jade pendant before. What do you think?"

"Ask." Meng Hui looked pleased, "If you encounter something like this in the future, remember to tell me and I will help you."

In the eyes of men, the girl's pointed face gradually overlaps with the round face in his memory.

She seemed to be the little girl chasing after him again.

It was good, she was willing to rely on him again.

Shen Jiaojiao said "Hmm", still immersed in her own thoughts, and did not notice the tenderness in the man's eyes.

"Just ask for dinner, just be nice." Meng Hui warned.

"Why?" She came back to her senses and looked surprised, "Did Prince Qing already extend his hand into the Meng Mansion?"

Meng Hui raised his hand and rubbed her head, "What else? The Meng Mansion is not a royal palace, how can it be guarded like an iron barrel?"

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes flashed.

That's right, didn't Mo Gan also quietly put people in?
It is impossible to keep a close guard on such a huge house, and even the sworn brother cannot guarantee whether there are people from other forces in the Meng Mansion...
