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

Chapter 25

The portrait should be real, the sworn brother would not joke about such a thing.

Shen Jiaojiao thought for a moment and guessed why the thief liked to hide in the big house - there were many servants in the big house, and the officers and soldiers could not forcefully search, didn't it give the thief the convenience of hiding?
Keep an eye on it, you're right.

The sworn brother would never harm her.

Thinking of Meng Hui, she couldn't help but recall everything that happened in the bathroom, and her heart began to beat wildly.

A warmth gradually rose on his cheeks.

The adopted brother not only looked at her naked body, but also hugged her...

The parts of her body that were touched felt faintly warm. The more she thought about it, the more shy she became, and her whole face turned red.

No, I can’t think about it anymore. My sworn brother didn’t do it on purpose... He rarely had contact with women, he didn’t know the boundaries between men and women, and he definitely didn’t hug her on purpose...

She convinced herself over and over in her mind.

Seeing that Guangshan was still standing in front of him, Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head to cover her red face and whispered: "Thank you for making this trip, Kexin will see Guangshan off for me."

After saying that, she remembered that she had not seen Ke Ying, and quickly called Ke Xin to stop.

"Wait, where is Keying?"

Kexin stopped and pursed her lips toward the flower hall, "I went to the flower hall with Mrs. Jiang."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, motioning for her to send the person out quickly, and walked towards the flower hall.

On the way, she recalled Mrs. Chiang's repeated defense of her, and felt surprised and a little warm.

In the farce in the main courtyard, anyone could see that the adoptive mother was partial.

When Meng Wan pushed her down, her adoptive mother did not intervene. After she threw Meng Wan away, she immediately stood up and walked down, helping Meng Wan.

Completely ignoring that she was the one who was pushed down first.

The room full of people watched her being bullied.

Only Mrs. Jiang, who was clearly meeting for the first time, stood up and spoke neutrally, but actually defended her.

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't wait to know, why did Mrs. Jiang help her?

As soon as she reached the flower hall, she saw Keying walking out.

"Miss, why are you here?" Ke Ying was startled, and quickly walked over, put the hat on Shen Jiaojiao's head, and wiped the wet ends of her hair.

"It's still wet. What are you doing, Kexin? Why are you letting you do what you want? It's such a cold weather, so be careful."

Ke Ying pulled her into the flower hall with a straight face.

"Where is Mrs. Jiang?" she asked.

Ke Ying winked inside and said, "Maybe I was tired today and fell asleep on the small couch in the inner room."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded and pretended to go outside, "Then let's go outside and talk."

Keying quickly took her hand and pushed her onto the armchair, "Miss, just say it outside. It's far away. Mrs. Jiang can't hear her and can't disturb her."

"Okay." She sat down obediently and let Keying stroke her wet hair.

Ke Ying brought several clean long towels, first replacing the one Ke Xin had wrapped in them before, and carefully wiped her wet hair.

"You have been with Mrs. Jiang for so long, have you heard any news?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"Yes." Keying answered while twirling her hair, "Mrs. Jiang is the wife of Governor Jiang. She just arrived in Lin'an City a few days ago and said she wanted to open a government office in Yangzhou. Maybe we will choose Lin'an City."

"She told you these secrets?" Shen Jiaojiao was a little surprised.

Keying said 'hmm', "I think this is meant for the young lady."

"Indeed, Mrs. Jiang just wants to use your mouth to convey a message to me." She agreed with Keying's guess, "However, it is unlikely that the governor will open a government office in Lin'an City."

"Why? Lin'an City is so prosperous..."

"Although Lin'an City is prosperous, it already has a prefect's office. I think the city next door is more suitable."

"Young lady is really smart. Mrs. Jiang also said that she might not choose Lin'an City." Keying said flatteringly.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, and continued to ask: "Did Mrs. Jiang say anything else? For example, why did she suddenly come to the Meng Mansion..."

"Of course there is." Keying nodded and talked about what Mrs. Jiang told in detail.

Mrs. Jiang has a good relationship with Mrs. Lin's family.

The Lin family held this banquet today to introduce Mrs. Chiang and the ladies of the Chiang family to everyone.

This is also the first time the governor's wife has shown her face. Mrs. Meng received the invitation and only took Meng Wan with her.

Meng Wan couldn't get along well with the Lin family. Miss Lin and Shen Jiaojiao didn't deal with each other, but they couldn't stand Meng Wan's small family style and didn't look good on Meng Wan.

The ladies had a quarrel, which even reached the ladies.

When Mrs. Jiang saw Meng Wan, she remembered that there was a fairy-like young lady in the Meng family, and asked why she hadn't seen the most beautiful woman in Lin'an?

All the people present came to the banquet to please the wife of the future Yangzhou official, and they all turned their complaining eyes towards Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Lin immediately found an excuse to ask Mrs. Meng to go out to talk. When she came back, she suggested going to the outskirts of the city to go to the lake.

Mrs. Meng also said that Shen Jiaojiao made an appointment with friends to go out to the outskirts of the city for a lake trip today. If everyone goes there now, they might meet them.

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao understood.

It turns out that the previous trip out of the city was for Mrs. Chiang.

The adoptive mother also lied in front of Mrs. Jiang, saying that she did not attend the banquet because she was going to the lake.

"Then why are they back?" she asked.

Not long after she returned home, her adoptive mother sent someone to invite her. Apparently, two groups of people came back home one after the other.

"Mrs. Jiang said that as soon as she arrived at the lakeside on the outskirts of the city, and her buttocks were still hot, there were officers and soldiers sent by the prefect to escort the ladies back to the house. They said something big had happened."

Shen Jiaojiao answered, "Then the adoptive mother took the opportunity to invite Mrs. Jiang to come to the house for a chat. Mrs. Jiang was embarrassed to refuse?"

"Yeah." Keying nodded, then quickly shook her head, "Mrs. Jiang said she came here happily."

After hearing the whole story, Shen Jiaojiao sighed.

"Although my adoptive mother has no bad intentions, she is not sincere to me. If she directly asked Qingqi to explain her words clearly, how could I suspect her?"

She was ashamed that she had suspected that her adoptive mother had bad intentions.

"Others would also be suspicious. Miss, don't blame yourself too much." Keying comforted her, "Besides, Madam is more inclined to the Second Miss, so she suddenly sent someone to pick you up, and she didn't allow you to take care of your maid..."

"Don't comfort me, I know." Shen Jiaojiao raised her hand, "My adoptive mother prefers Meng Wan more. It's my adoptive mother's business. She is my adoptive mother after all, and the kindness of raising her should never be forgotten."

Ke Ying responded in a low voice and did not persuade her again.

"Mrs. Jiang told you why she is so nice to me?" Shen Jiaojiao asked again.

"Is Mrs. Jiang very good to the young lady?" Ke Ying was stunned, then asked subconsciously, and then quickly realized, "Oh, yes, it is indeed good. Madam Jiang helped the young lady come out, and she didn't mind the young lady being embarrassed. "

"In the main courtyard, she even spoke for me."

"So Mrs. Jiang is so kind? No wonder she keeps asking me about Miss."

Shen Jiaojiao's expression tightened, "Have you already said that?"

"Yeah, of course I have to say it." Keying winked at her and smiled.

"I told Mrs. Jiang that she is living a very good life. The master and his wife love her very much. Although the young master is strict, he is doing it for her own good. My uncle also treats her well and feels sorry for her for her hard work on weekdays."

"You're such a cunning person." Shen Jiaojiao also smiled.

Family scandals should not be made public.

She and Mrs. Chiang are neither relatives nor friends, so how can they communicate with each other and tell each other about their unsatisfactory life?

If Mrs. Chiang is a bad person, please spread the word...

"Miss, your hair is wrung out. I'll go in and see if Mrs. Jiang wakes up."

Keying spread her almost dry black hair and let it dry across an armchair.

"Okay, let's go." Shen Jiaojiao waved her hand, asking Keying to go quickly.

She felt that Mrs. Chiang was really a wonderful person.

As the governor's wife, she was so bold that she fell asleep in a stranger's home.

Of course, what surprised her most was Mrs. Chiang's defense of her.

It turned out that as early as at the Lin family banquet, Mrs. Jiang took the initiative to call her name, as if she wanted to see her.

She asked herself that there was nothing special about her, and she had never left Lin'an City, let alone met Mrs. Jiang, but she fell into Mrs. Jiang's eyes...

Just as she was thinking about it, Keying walked out and called her, "Miss, Mrs. Jiang is awake and is tending to the flowers and plants inside. I will accompany you in."
