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

Chapter 23 It’s not easy to lie
"Sister-in-law, you go out first. I'll change my clothes and come back." Shen Jiaojiao said with a trembling voice.

She didn't have the guts to question her sworn brother, and even began to suspect that she shouldn't have kept those false etiquette.

What didn't the two of you do last night? Even the most intimate things in the world were pushed over and over by her adopted brother.

Even though the sworn brother was unconscious at the time, he had already seen her through, and today he just broke into the bathroom...

Maybe, as the sworn brother said, he listened to Guangshan's report and was worried about her safety, so he barged in regardless.

Meng Hui lowered his eyes with a calm expression, as if he was not the one who was passionate before.

"Shen Jiaojiao, if I were you, the most important thing now is to confess." He looked at Shen Jiaojiao, "Tell me what you are hiding and let me help you."

"Help me..." Her heart suddenly tightened, she hurriedly lowered her eyes, squeezed the thin quilt wrapped around her body, and looked stunned.

The adopted brother has indeed been helping her.

When she was a child, she got into trouble. As long as she asked her adopted brother to act coquettishly, he would come forward to help her deal with the aftermath.

Later, the adopted brother became talkative, indifferent, unwilling to get close to others, and was indifferent to his adopted father and mother. He also became more and more strict with her, not allowing her to do this or that, forcing her to become a noble lady.

When did it start to change?
Scenes from the past slipped before her eyes... and finally settled on the time when she was nine years old and she accidentally overheard a conversation between her adoptive mother and her adoptive father.

After the adoptive mother said that she was a sinner, the number of babies she had planned to marry could not be counted.

The adoptive mother said that the adoptive father could not be so selfish, saying that she would destroy the adoptive brother.

The adoptive mother also said that she pestered her adoptive brother every day and had no sense of shame, causing him to neglect his studies and never make any progress.

When she was young, she was shocked by her adoptive mother's ruthless words.

She has grown up in the Meng family since she can remember. Although she has the title of adopted daughter, she is no different from the biological daughter of the Meng family.

Her adoptive father favored her, her adopted brother doted on her, and even her adoptive mother was very kind to her. She never knew that she was actually a burden to the Meng family.

From then on, she began to distance herself from her adopted brother and became more and more cautious. She no longer dared to get into trouble and no longer needed her adopted brother to help her solve difficulties.

I don’t know from which day my adopted brother also became indifferent.

The two of them drifted apart, and they could never regain their childhood sweethearts.

The night before yesterday, the first day that my step-brother, who had been a businessman for half a year, returned home, he seemed very angry and avoided seeing his family. Especially Chen Yuanli, not only could he not see his superiors, he was also severely scolded by the servant sent by his sworn brother.

It wasn't until Chen Yuanli asked this morning that Shen Jiaojiao was shocked to realize that her sworn brother was beating Chen Yuanli on her behalf.

"Shen Jiaojiao." Meng Hui's deep voice sounded again.

She pulled away from the memories and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart.

After a moment, she shook her head again and insisted on her previous statement.

"I don't understand what you are talking about. There are no marks on my body or anything painted on my body. What on earth do you want to ask?"

The man's face turned completely cold.

He frowned and asked, "No trace?"

"No...ah! Foster brother!"

The denial was interrupted by a scream.

Her eyes widened with a layer of fear as she stared at the unfamiliar yet familiar face so close.

The sworn brother's kung fu seemed to have reached a state of perfection, and he pulled her to the outside of the bed in the blink of an eye.

He sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his long arms to hug her.

The warm palms kept moving over her body through the thin quilt.

The hot breath hit her face, and her cheeks felt itchy.

It was as if she couldn't feel it, her eyes were so red that they were almost bleeding, and the hand holding the thin quilt turned purple.

"You...what are you doing? You can't..."

Shen Jiaojiao stared at him blankly, tears falling down in large numbers, and her heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.

How could the sworn brother touch her in broad daylight and when he was conscious?

Did he regard her as his sister? Thin pains came from my chest.

She lowered her head and looked at her skin that was rapidly turning purple, and her tears stopped instantly.

She understood for a moment, but was more confused.

Brother-in-law, is this... asking for confirmation?

Is it necessary to do this step just to check if there will be any marks on her body?

"It's necessary." Meng Hui's indifferent voice sounded.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head, and she unknowingly asked the question.

The adopted brother is indeed the same adopted brother.

Simple yet crude.

Meng Hui seemed to have just noticed the tears on her face, and frowned slightly.

"Why are you crying? You are not a five- or six-year-old baby anymore."

Slender fingers stroked her cheek and wiped away the tears on her face.

The man stared at her chest again.

"The force I used just now should be about the same as last night. Look at the marks here."

As he spoke, he touched the ravaged delicate skin.

"As time goes by, the bruises should become more obvious."

Seeing his flowing movements, Shen Jiaojiao took a deep breath, quickly gathered up the thin quilt, and wrapped her whole body in it, leaving only half of her face exposed.

Then she leaned back suddenly, broke away from his embrace, and pulled away.

"Brother, what exactly do you want to ask?"

"Why are there no traces on your body? Who are you contacting?" He did not stop her from staying away, his voice was still cold, "Shen Jiaojiao, people outside are very dangerous."

Her face was tense, and there was an uncontrollable anger in her heart.

"Brother, you should ask your good sister about this." She suppressed the dull pain in her heart and looked at the man stubbornly.

"Aren't you just worried that the traces on my body will be discovered when you rush here? She wants to kill me time and time again. Why can't I protect myself? Or do you want me to be as weak and bullyable as before? Planning to die?"

Meng Hui raised his chin slightly, "I'm asking about the marks on your body, it has nothing to do with Meng Wan."

"Aren't the marks on my body caused by you two brothers and sisters?"

Shen Jiaojiao said, "Brother, you must think I'm stupid, right? That's why you plotted against me like this."

"What are you talking about?" Meng Hui's pupils suddenly shrank, he reached out and pinched Shen Jiaojiao's wrist, and pulled her in front of him, "Speak clearly."

Underneath his calm face, his heartbeat was thundering.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked at the man, trying to see something from these deep eyes.

"Brother, I just don't want to focus on my family, I'm not stupid.

"My sworn brother has a keen mind, extraordinary intelligence, and extraordinary abilities. How could he be plotted against by the woman in the deep house? And with his sister...

"Qinghui Courtyard is so impregnable that not even a fly can fly in. Where can Meng Wan find someone to help her administer the medicine?

"My sworn brother is the future master of the Meng Mansion, so how could those servants change their masters? Let me ask, why could Meng Wan easily lead people into Qinghui Courtyard this morning?"

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes and sighed, no longer looking at Meng Hui's face, and her voice sounded like a whisper.

"My sworn brother is so cruel and scheming. He misled me step by step. He put me on the fire to roast me. He watched me panic and waited for me to make a fool of myself..."

Meng Hui's heart suddenly heaved, but his face was still calm, but his eyes were a little more obscure.

His Jiaojiao has grown up and cannot be deceived.
