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

Chapter 221 Affection
"What? What are you hiding from me?"

Mr. Meng was a little surprised. He guessed that this matter must be related to Meng Wan and suddenly felt a headache.

He quickly led the two children to the tea room and called the waiter to serve tea.

While waiting for the servant, Shen Jiaojiao scooped out the medicinal tonic soup and divided it into three bowls, placing one bowl in front of each person.

Soon, the servant brought a pot of good tea and respectfully left.

There were only three people left in the house: father and son.

Master Meng looked at Meng Hui, "Ah Hui, do you have something to tell me?"

Shen Jiaojiao pretended to drink the soup, but actually glanced over there out of the corner of her eye.

Meng Hun raised his hand and tapped her forehead. "If you want to see it, then see it openly." Then he turned his head to look at Master Meng with a serious expression, "Dad, Meng Wan is fake."

Seeing him say it so loudly, Shen Jiaojiao took a breath of cold air and immediately went to see if there was anyone eavesdropping outside the door or by the window.

This is the main courtyard!
Maybe their mother knew they were coming and sent someone outside to eavesdrop?

The man quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "I've sent someone to watch outside."

She breathed a sigh of relief, but then remembered that this news was like a bolt from the blue for her adoptive father, so she quickly turned her head and looked at Master Meng worriedly.

"What do you mean?" Master Meng looked quite calm, and even did not forget to scoop a sip of the tonic soup.

Meng Hun did not hesitate too much and quickly told his investigation results.

Upon hearing that the Western Regions and the royal family were standing behind Meng Wan, Master Meng was so shocked that he stood there in a daze, not even noticing that the spoon in his hand had fallen onto the table.

"Ahui, you...hiss, no way?"

Mr. Meng's old face was wrinkled like tree bark.

"It shouldn't be that serious, right? Compared with the three great imperial merchants, what is my Meng family?"

The three imperial merchants had wealth that could rival that of a country.

They not only expanded the Zhou Dynasty's business, but also expanded their business territories to other countries.

Compared with them, the Meng family is just a small fry.

If the royal family wants to target wealthy businessmen, they should not target the Meng family!

Meng Hun lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "In the Jiangnan area, my Meng family's assets are not small."

This is really modest.

The Meng family is mainly rooted in the Jiangnan area, and thanks to the care of the young marquis, they are gradually becoming the richest family in Jiangnan.

Among the three imperial merchants, the other two were not rooted in the Great Zhou, but the last one was operated by the Zhou royal family itself.

The royal family will not allow the Meng family to continue to develop.

If the Meng family loses control one day, it will be detrimental to the Great Zhou Dynasty!
"But...how could Wan'er be fake? She looks almost exactly like your mother!" Master Meng still didn't believe it.

"There are so many people in the world who look alike. Isn't it easy to find them if you really want to?" Meng Hun said.

"Ah Hui, it's not that Dad doesn't believe you, but you have no evidence, how can I believe you?"

Master Meng was not like Shen Jiaojiao, who was plotted against many times by Meng Wan. With Mo Qian's help in the investigation, he learned about the existence of the people from the Western Regions early on.

At this moment, Meng Hun couldn't even take out the medicine he had taken that night.

It was true that the medicine came from the Western Regions, but its efficacy led to the endless entanglement between the two.

If Mr. Meng asked, how should he answer?
After a while, Meng Hun sighed, "I have taken care of the witness, but I don't have any physical evidence for now."

He knew that Mr. Meng would not believe him easily.

Shen Jiaojiao is the only one in this world who trusts him without reservation.

The man glanced at the woman beside him calmly, and seeing that she was listening attentively, a ripple appeared in his heart.

"Father, what my brother said is true." Seeing that Master Meng didn't believe her, Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly spoke up for her brother, "If you don't believe me, go ask the head of the Hundred Plays Troupe."

"I will verify this matter." Master Meng nodded and changed the subject, "Regarding the truth about Wan'er, I hope you won't mention it to others, especially not to your mother."

"it is good."

"I see."

They both responded at the same time.

It doesn’t matter if Mr. Meng doesn’t believe it, as long as we can plant the seed of doubt in his heart.

The two originally wanted Master Meng to be more careful and not fall into Meng Wan's trap. Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat stagnant, Shen Jiaojiao changed the subject.

"Foster father, how are you going to deal with Meng Wan?"

Hearing that it was Meng Wan again, Master Meng raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, his face full of fatigue.

After a moment's silence, he said, "She is confined until she gives birth to the baby."

"Is that it?" Shen Jiaojiao said disappointedly.

"Of course there are more." Master Meng patted the back of her hand and silently comforted her, "I have discussed it with your stepmother. When the child is born, it will be registered in your name."

As he spoke, his expression became more sad.

"Wan'er is vicious and cruel. She is not suitable for raising children. All the children she gives birth to in the future will be registered under your name."

This is the most severe punishment that Mr. Meng could think of.

For a woman, the most painful thing is to hear her own child call someone else "mother".

When Shen Jiaojiao heard this, she knew that it was not easy for her adoptive father to think of this, so she didn't say anything else.

It is really difficult to truly punish Meng Wan.

It is impossible for the Meng family to kick Meng Wan out, after all, this biological daughter was only found not long ago; nor is it possible for them to let Meng Wan suffer, as the Meng family's wealth lies here.

I guess my godfather must have thought about it for a long time before coming up with this idea.

"But when I thought about it carefully, I felt that this method was not good enough." Mr. Meng turned his head and looked at Shen Jiaojiao with a serious expression.

"Jiaojiao, tell me the truth, do you really want to divorce Chen Yuanli?"

Before she could answer, Meng Hun on the opposite side was surprised.

"Heli?!"

There was a subtle hint of surprise in his tone.

Those deep eyes were fixed on her, and her small figure was reflected in the depths of his pupils.

Her face froze and she shook her head quickly.

"I don't know either. I just feel that Yuan Li has changed. He is no longer the man I knew at the beginning."

My brother's eyes are so scary.

She didn't even dare to insist on divorcing Chen Yuanli.

One was that the evidence had not been found yet. If they divorced, she would not be able to live in the Meng Mansion any longer. The other was that her brother-in-law was determined to get her. She did not dare to think whether her brother-in-law would take her away by force if they did not have this marriage...

"Do you mean that you still have feelings for Yuan Li?" asked Master Meng.

Hearing that she still calls Chen Yuanli "Yuanli", I think she must have feelings for him.

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at the man opposite cautiously and said "hmm" in an almost inaudible way.

Meng Hun's face was as gloomy as water, and the teacup in his hand suddenly shattered.

The tea slid down along with the porcelain pieces.

Master Meng looked over in surprise, "Ahui? What are you doing..."

"I still have something to do."

After saying this, Meng Hun stood up and left.

Mr. Meng groaned several times but was unable to call his son back, so he could only explain to Shen Jiaojiao awkwardly.

"Don't mind your brother, he just likes to go crazy."

"Yeah." Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head guiltily.

She knew in her heart that her brother was angry with her for wanting to get involved with Chen Yuanli.

The father and daughter chatted for a while.

Seeing her adoptive father finish the tonic soup, she called the servant to clean up the table, and she walked to the desk and pretended to mention it casually.

"The weather has been sunny these past two days, and the wind is not strong. I plan to take the books in the house out to dry in the sun."

She paused and continued.

"Godfather, have you dried these books in the sun? Don't let them get moldy."
