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

Chapter 238 The fox pretends to be the tiger's power
When Madam Meng sat at the head of the Mingzhu Courtyard, her face still looked a little unhappy, and she kept thinking back to what Master Meng had said to reprimand her before -

"If you are unwilling to even pretend, how will others view Wan'er?"

"It was you who called Aning back and asked her to be Ah-hun's wet nurse. She is like half of Ah-hun's mother."

"Now that Wan'er has made a mistake, why are you hiding in your room crying instead of trying to make amends as her mother? Who has wronged you?"

Mrs. Meng was so scolded that she couldn't even raise her head.

She has been the mistress of the house for many years, so she naturally knows how serious the rumors outside are. How could she let her beloved daughter be criticized by outsiders?

But she felt humiliated when she thought about bowing to a maid, and she became more and more annoyed with the adopted daughter who acted on her own.

If Shen Jiaojiao hadn't taken Aunt Ning to Mingzhu Courtyard during the chaos, there wouldn't have been all these troubles now.
Just as I was thinking about it, Shen Jiaojiao walked in from outside.

"Stepmother." She bowed dignifiedly to Madam Meng, and before she could call out to her, she nodded to Meng Wan who was standing beside her, "Wan'er."

In this way, it is not considered rude.

Mrs. Meng was a little unhappy - she originally wanted to take advantage of the time of paying respects to give Shen Jiaojiao some attention!
Shen Jiaojiao pretended not to understand Mrs. Meng's thoughts, took two steps forward, and asked respectfully, "Why did stepmother suddenly come to Mingzhu Courtyard?"

"Wan'er knows she has done something wrong and has not slept well for two days. As soon as she heard that Aunt Ning's condition has improved, she begged me to bring her here." Mrs. Meng said with a fake smile.

"I see." She nodded and looked at Meng Wan again, "Wan'er really should apologize."

When Meng Wan heard this, he became so angry that his face turned black.

She didn't want to apologize to an aunt. She was just a servant. Why should she, a lady of the Meng family, apologize?
If mother hadn't said that if she continued to show her temper she would make father dislike her, she would never have come!

Meng Wan was holding back his anger, but he pretended to sob, "It's all my fault, it's my fault..."

"It's your fault indeed. Who told you to break the cup? You hurt Aunt Ning. Not only did your stepmother resent you, but even your stepbrother was annoyed with you."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't give Meng Wan any face at all.

The two of them had already fallen out, and she was considered well-mannered for not responding with sarcasm.

"You!" Meng Wan stood up angrily.

"Okay." Mrs. Meng interrupted their conversation, "We are all family, why are you arguing?"

As he said this, he glared at Shen Jiaojiao unhappily.

"Wan'er has only been back for a year, and there are still many things she doesn't understand. As her elder sister, you should teach her more. How can you blame her for everything?"

"What stepmother said is right. It's Jiaojiao's fault. I failed to teach Wan'er well." Shen Jiaojiao bowed and apologized. She was very humble, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. "I have sent someone to invite Rong Mama. She will definitely teach Wan'er well."

"What?!" Madam Meng was shocked and slapped the armrest of the armchair. "Are you talking about Rong Mama who just retired from the current queen's palace?"

"Of course." She smiled faintly, "No need to worry, stepmother. When Rong Ma heard that the Meng family wanted to invite her to teach Wan'er, she quickly agreed."

Mrs. Meng gripped the armrest tightly and broke a nail in anger. The pain made her sober up a little and she forced out a smile.

"Jiaojiao is thoughtful."

"Thank you for the compliment, stepmother. I'm also thinking about Wan'er." Shen Jiaojiao said.

Seeing her stepmother's angry look, she felt a secret joy in her heart.

The words have been spoken and cannot be taken back.

It is a foregone conclusion that Madam Rong will come to the Meng Mansion to teach Meng Wan.

Seeing Meng Wan's calm face, obviously unaware of what had happened, Shen Jiaojiao felt even happier.

In fact, Rong Mama was specially hired by her sworn brother to restrain Meng Wan. He was afraid that Meng Wan would cause trouble outside and bring unnecessary trouble to the Meng family.

Now that Prince Qing has come to Lin'an, the factional disputes in the court are related to the unjust case of the Shen family, and all the things have come together.

Meng Hun didn't have time to deal with Meng Wan's trivial matters.

It would be better to detain the person in the mansion first.

Madam Rong attaches great importance to rules, has an important status, and can make Meng Wan suffer.

"Why hasn't Aunt Ning come yet?" Mrs. Meng suddenly asked.

"The doctor my foster brother invited said that Aunt Ning's injuries are serious and it's best for her to rest for half a month." Shen Jiaojiao knew that her foster mother was going to make trouble, so she just pretended to be powerful -

If you have any opinions, go find your brother.

As expected, when Mrs. Meng heard her say this, she suppressed her anger and turned to glare at Meng Wan.

"What are you standing there for? Go and apologize!"

"Mother..." Meng Wan shouted in confusion, not understanding why his mother suddenly got angry at him.

"What did you promise me before?" Mrs. Meng asked coldly.

Meng Wan's face froze, remembering that before coming to Mingzhu Courtyard, Madam Meng had repeatedly reminded her that even if she was just pretending, she had to do her best to look good.

"I'll go and apologize right now!" Meng Wan said.

Madam Meng nodded with satisfaction, then turned to her adopted daughter and said, "Jiaojiao, take Wan'er with you."

"Yes." Shen Jiaojiao agreed, "Wan'er, come with me."

Only after she walked out of the main room did she turn around and look upwards.

My stepmother held the teacup in her hand, but didn't drink. She just sat there quietly, as if she was thinking about something.

She withdrew her gaze and suppressed the surprise in her heart.

Aunt Ning is my stepmother's maid who came with her as a dowry. They have been master and servant for many years and have a deep relationship. Why is she unwilling to even see me today?

As soon as she stepped into the west wing, Meng Wan rushed towards Aunt Ning crying, and her movements were so fast that even Ke Xin couldn't stop her.

"Wuwuwu, auntie, are you okay? I didn't mean it, wuwu..."

"Second Miss, please be careful about Aunt Ning's injury!" Seeing that Aunt Ning's face was pale, Ke Xin hurried forward and tried to pull her away.

"Ah!" Meng Wan also realized something was wrong and hurriedly let go of her hand, "I, I didn't mean to..."

Seeing that the bandaged wound was bleeding again, Ke Xin took a breath and hurried to find Yulan.

Meng Wan was so frightened that he felt weak all over and collapsed on the side of the bed.

My eldest brother has never liked her, and my father scolded her yesterday. If mother knew that she had gotten into trouble again...

"Get out." Shen Jiaojiao's cold voice came, and she drove Meng Wan out.

Yulan also arrived soon, re-bandaged Aunt Ning's wound, and repeatedly reminded her not to touch the wound again, otherwise she would probably bleed again.

Mr. Qian is outside and will definitely not be able to come back.

Meng Wan stood outside in a daze, watching the maids coming in and out carrying basins of blood.

When Ke Xin came and called her in, she realized that her back was wet and she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Aunt, I was wrong. Please punish me!" Meng Wan was about to kneel down in front of Aunt Ning.

Aunt Ning was startled and pulled back the quilt to stop them, but luckily Ke Xin stopped her.

Shen Jiaojiao grabbed Meng Wan's arm and prevented her from kneeling down.

"What are you doing?!"

Meng Wan smiled bitterly, "It's all my fault. Aunt Ning almost lost her life. I really didn't mean it, wuwuwu..."

As he said this, he covered his face and started crying again.

Shen Jiaojiao naturally wouldn't believe her words.

Meng Wan is a person with deep scheming. Now that she has put aside her pride as Miss Meng, she must be trying to retreat in order to advance.

You never know when it might be time to make a request.

As expected, after hearing Aunt Ning's repeated assurances that she would not blame her, Meng Wan asked tearfully, "Then are you still willing to come back to me and teach me the rules?"

Shen Jiaojiao's face turned cold and she wished she could kick the person out.

Look, this is Meng Wan.
