Chapter 242: Coming for the Jade Pendant
Shen Jiaojiao withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes to think for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

"it is good."

It would be fine if my brother-in-law is willing to let her meet Jiang Yi.

Anyway, she had no plan to leave the house, and asked Ke Xin to pass the message to Jiang Yi and make an appointment to go to Mengxianju, just for her sworn brother to see.

Only if her brother sees her determination to leave the house will he be willing to invite Jiang Yi to the house.

She is not stupid, why would she go to the appointment without caring about her own safety?
The man raised his hand and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up. "You don't need to use such crude means on me."

Shen Jiaojiao broke free from his hand and pursed her lips, "What are you talking about, brother? I don't understand."

"Don't understand?" Meng Hun approached her, put his thin lips on her ear, and whispered, "Aren't you just looking forward to me inviting Jiang Yi here?"

She paused smiling and said nothing.

She wouldn't admit that.

Even if my brother guessed her thoughts, what would it matter? He invited her on his own initiative, so what did it have to do with her?

Meng Hun didn't bother with her and took the initiative to bring up another topic.

"I heard that Meng Wan came to apologize to Aunt Ning earlier?"

"Yeah." She nodded, "My stepmother didn't go to see my aunt."

Meng Hui picked her up and changed to a more comfortable sitting position. "What do you mean?"

Shen Jiaojiao did not struggle and let him hold her in his arms while she half-lay on the small couch.

"I feel like there's something a little off between my stepmother and Aunt Ning."

As she spoke, she glanced at him cautiously.

She could feel that her aunt was hiding a secret.

It’s a pity that she had promised her aunt not to tell her brother about those things.

Now she could only hope that her brother would notice something was wrong and send someone to find out the truth of what happened.

"Don't worry about these trivial matters. There are more important things to deal with right now." Meng Hun pursed his lips slightly, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. "Prince Qing wants to see you."

Shen Jiaojiao was startled and sat up straight abruptly.

"When?"

Compared to Prince Qing, the previous grudges in the inner house of the Meng Mansion are nothing. Meng Hun: "The message has not been delivered yet, it should be in the next two days."

"What does Prince Qing want me to do?"

"I don't know." The man stared into her eyes, as if he wanted to look deep into her pupils. "What did you talk about with Prince Qing when the Meng Mansion hosted the banquet that day? Why did he keep staring at you?"

"Didn't I tell you everything..."

"Shen Jiaojiao."

"I really told you everything we talked about!" Shen Jiaojiao was irritated by his lack of trust. "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"Okay, okay, I believe you, isn't that enough?"

Seeing that she was angry, Meng Hun quickly hugged her in his arms and coaxed her for a long time.

The two continued to talk about King Qing.

"Then he can only be here for the jade pendant." The man smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Jade pendant?" Her heart skipped a beat, and her fingers subconsciously clenched her sleeves. "Didn't I say I don't have a jade pendant?"

"Prince Qing may not believe you."

After thinking for a while, he told what happened in the past two days.

"Prince Qing has sent many people to spy on Meng's mansion at night these past two days. They must be looking for the jade pendant. Mingzhu Courtyard has been visited by many spies."

"Is this jade pendant so important?" Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but gasp. Thinking of Prince Qing's invitation, she became even more panicked. "Brother, I don't dare to go..."

Meng Hui said, "Don't be afraid. I'll go with you then."

Hearing this, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and her violently beating heart slowly calmed down.

With her brother by her side, she was no longer afraid.

"Miss, Master, the doorman sent someone to report that the Second Miss Jiang is here." Ke Xin's voice came from outside.

"So soon?" She turned to look at the man beside her, "Have you sent someone to invite him a long time ago?"

Meng Hui shook his head gently, "No, Jiang Yi has been waiting for a long time."

There seemed to be some deep meaning in the words.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't have time to think about it, she sat up and said, "I'll go see her."
