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

"What?"

Shen Jiaojiao raised her head, with a hint of wariness in her eyes.

She didn't have much trust in the man she had saved so many years ago. She took everything he said with a 50% discount.

After thinking carefully, Ke Xin repeated the original words.

"Miss, please be careful these days and don't go out. It's best if people around you don't go out either. If you find someone with a cough, lock him up and don't contact him. Coughing is contagious."

"How can Murong Zi be so sure that coughing is contagious? What else did he say?"

Ke Xin shook her head. "Mr. Murong only sent someone to pass on these words. He didn't say anything else."

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, feeling confused and uncertain.

Even Mr. Qian was not sure that the cough in Lin'an City was a plague and had to continue investigating. Why was Murong Zi so sure?

Could it be that Murong Zi knows the inside story?

This matter is of great importance, and she needs to talk to this person.

"Ke Xin, go tell Murong Zi's people that I want to see him."

"Miss, you suffered a lot yesterday and you are weak. You should stay at home to recuperate first..." Ke Xin advised her.

She waved her hand and said, "You pass the message first. Whether they are willing to meet is another matter."

"Yes." Ke Xin agreed reluctantly.

After massaging for about an incense stick's time, Ke Xin helped her get up and helped her wash up.

When Shen Jiaojiao sat down in front of the dressing table, Ke Xin remembered something else.

"Miss, when the eldest master left this morning, he told me to tell you that he has sent people to protect the old doctor Qian and Aoxue, so you don't have to worry too much."

"As for Yulan, the eldest master said that you can use her with peace of mind. Yulan will never make such a mistake again in the future. In addition, he will keep an eye on the kitchen."

Hearing that her brother had arranged everything, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and joy escaped from her sparkling eyes.

She didn't say anything, just nodded, and gestured to Ke Xin to help her put on makeup.

After everything was packed up, the master and servant went straight to the west wing.

When the maid guarding the door saw the young lady coming, she quickly knelt down and saluted, and without waiting for her young lady to ask any questions, she took the initiative to speak.

"Miss, Aunt Ning has woken up. I have washed her. Do you want to come in?"

Seeing that the little maid was quite clever, Shen Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, "Well, I'll go in and take a look, you go and tell them."

If it were any other master, entering an aunt's room would not require any notification? It was because Ke Ying was thoughtful and told the maids in Mingzhu Courtyard that the young lady respected Aunt Ning very much and asked them to serve her carefully, that the maids asked this question.

"Hey!" The little maid responded, and hurried in to pass on the message, then ran out happily to welcome the two of them in.

Shen Jiaojiao walked into the inner room and saw Aunt Ning leaning on the bed, waving at her.

She looked at Aunt Ning's face carefully, and although her lips were still a little pale, she looked in good spirits, so she felt relieved.

"Aunt." She sat down on the edge of the bed and held Aunt Ning's hand. "Did you sleep well last night?"

Aunt Ning smiled gently, "Thanks to you and Ah Hui, otherwise I would have lost my life."

"Don't say such unlucky words." She frowned, "I hope you live a long life. At least you must see the child you raised with your own hands get married and have children!"

This "doll" refers to Meng Hun.

When talking about Meng Hun, the smile in Aunt Ning's eyes became gentler.

"Yes, I'm looking forward to Ah Hui getting married and having children soon. Jiaojiao, you have been close to Ah Hui since childhood, do you know which noble lady Ah Hui likes? He's already twenty years old, other people's children can already help with soy sauce..."

Shen Jiaojiao's smile paused, and her eyes flickered slightly.

How could she answer this?
Do I have to tell my aunt that the person my brother-in-law likes is her?
That aunt must be mad...

"I don't know. In recent years, my relationship with my brother-in-law is not as close as before."

For some unknown reason, she intended to distance herself from the unclear relationship between herself and her sworn brother.

"Hmm?" Aunt Ning tilted her head and looked at her, "I think you two are getting along well, aren't you?"

Shen Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, not knowing how to explain.

Just at this moment, the little maid who was guarding outside came in and reported loudly.

"Miss, the gatekeeper came to report that the mistress has arrived and brought the second young lady with her."

"My stepmother is here?!" She stood up suddenly, taking the opportunity to ease the awkward atmosphere, "Aunt, I'll go see her."

Aunt Ning nodded and said, "Yes." She was about to stand up.

Shen Jiaojiao quickly stopped him, "You should take a rest. Your legs and feet are still unable to move. It doesn't matter if you meet me once or twice."

She was worried, so she left Ke Xin to keep an eye on Aunt Ning and went to the main hall to meet the guests.

Why did my stepmother choose to come at this time?
