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

Chapter 263 Great Change
"Miss? Miss?"

I could hear Ke Xin's anxious cries and occasional sobs, which was very annoying.

Shen Jiaojiao waved her hands impatiently, "Don't bother me..."

The waving hand was held.

"Miss, my little ancestor, if you wake up, open your eyes and don't sleep anymore!"

Shen Jiaojiao ignored him. She was really too tired and wanted to sleep too much.

Before I fell into deep sleep, my shoulders were shaken hard again.

She frowned and opened her eyes hard.

What came into view was Ke Xin crying with joy. Keying beside her also rushed over and hugged her and cried loudly.

She had never seen Ke Ying lose her composure like this before, and for a moment she thought she was dreaming.

Yulan walked forward and took her pulse.

"Magnolia?" She looked up at Magnolia, then turned her head to look at the familiar layout around her.

It was clearly her Mingzhu Courtyard.

This time, she was finally sure that she was not dreaming, and tears started to flow again.

The master and his two servants hugged each other, crying and laughing.

Shen Jiaojiao did not dare to pull her hand back and let Yulan take her pulse, fearing that she would get sick from the cold.

After a while, Yulan nodded and said with a smile: "The young lady is in very good health, don't worry anymore."

Then, a bowl of medicine was brought up.

"This is the prescription left by the old divine doctor Qian. It is for nourishing the body. Miss, drink it now. We will have dinner soon."

"Okay." Shen Jiaojiao nodded, took the bowl of medicine, and drank it in two gulps without even noticing the bitterness.

Seeing her young lady like this, Keying couldn't help crying.

The young lady used to be very delicate. She had to be coaxed to take medicine and even put a piece of candied fruit in her mouth.

Now he drank the medicine without saying a word, nor did he complain about the bitterness. He must have suffered a lot outside.

Shen Jiaojiao handed the bowl back and said, "You guys go down first. Ke Xin and Ke Ying can stay and talk to me."

Yulan and the other maids took their leave.

Only the master and his servant were left in the room.

Ke Ying knew that her young lady had something to say, so she quickly stopped crying and looked up at her.

"You look like you're afraid that I'll run away?" Shen Jiaojiao joked.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the two maids burst into tears again.

"Miss, you are not allowed to... you are not allowed to say these words!"

Ke Xin cried so hard that she was out of breath, and she wished she could stuff the words she had just said back into her stomach.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect that a joke would touch the tears of the two maids.

Seeing them crying so miserably, she felt a little guilty and hurried to comfort them, almost begging them to stop crying.

She finally stopped crying. Two maids sandwiched her on either side and whispered to her.

Ke Xin sighed, "Miss, you don't know what the rumors are about..."

"What?" Shen Jiaojiao tilted her head and looked over, "Didn't my brother hide the news for me?"

My brother is a very cautious person, how could he allow others to slander her reputation?

"Of course it was concealed. When the eldest young master heard about your disappearance, he immediately told everyone in the mansion to shut up and not to spread the news. Who would have thought that just as the eldest young master left the mansion to seek help from Governor Jiang and Prefect Wei, the mistress and the second young lady jumped up."

Ke Xin rolled her eyes to the sky, her face full of indignation.

This is understandable for Meng Wan, but towards Madam Meng... he is not even willing to maintain the proper respect?

Shen Jiaojiao realized that her stepmother must have done something and that this matter was related to her.

"Then what?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"Then? Then the Madam took the Second Miss out to keep an appointment, and it was an appointment with the Jiang family." Speaking of the Jiang family, Ke Xin was also very angry.

"Miss Jiang actually allowed Meng Wan to tell everyone about your disappearance in the mansion, in front of so many guests."

When Shen Jiaojiao heard it was Jiang Yi, she was not surprised.

Jiang Yi wished that she would live a life worse than death, so how could he speak for her?

"These are not important matters. After this disaster, I don't care about reputation anymore." She turned her head and looked at Keying. "Did anything happen in the mansion during the few days I was away?"

Keying nodded, "A lot of things happened."

Afterwards, Keying recounted in detail what had happened in the mansion.

Meng Wan's house arrest was in vain. He followed Madam Meng out of the house and slandered Shen Jiaojiao's reputation in front of the guests, which made Master Meng so angry that he called in family rules.

Mrs. Meng was also at fault for not disciplining Meng Wan well, so she was also confined to her room by Master Meng, who also took away her power as the head of the household. Now both the inner and outer courtyards are under the management of the old housekeeper.

As for Chen Yuanli and Aunt Zhou and their ilk, they have not appeared in recent days and seem to be hiding in the courtyard to avoid trouble.

Aunt Ning, who stayed in the west wing of Mingzhu Courtyard, was in very good condition and could basically walk.

Meng Hun also kidnapped the second daughter of the Jiang family, detained her in Qinghui Courtyard, and interrogated her every day.

Even when Governor Jiang came to ask for her, Meng Hun refused to let her go, saying bluntly, "I will not release her until Shen Jiaojiao is found."

"Brother, did you guess that it was Jiang Yi who did this?"

"That's natural. The eldest young master is extremely smart. After he couldn't find the young lady anywhere, he immediately came to ask us. He learned that the second young lady Jiang had invited you many times, so he set his eyes on the second young lady Jiang. Unfortunately..."

Unfortunately, my brother-in-law only set his sights on Jiang Yi the next day.

By then Jiang Yi had already kidnapped her from the suburbs and taken her to Heifeng Village.

Shen Jiaojiao sighed, not wanting to dwell on it, and asked, "What about the time I was unconscious? You cried so hard before, it didn't seem like..."

Before she could finish her words, Ke Xin put her arms around her waist and rubbed her round face softly against her shoulder.

"Miss, it's a great blessing that you didn't get the plague."

"plague?"

"Yes." Ke Ying also sighed, "As long as the young lady is fine, other things are trivial."

Shen Jiaojiao was a little confused after hearing this.

What are these two maids talking about?

How is she related to the plague?
wait wait wait!
Could it be the little baby from that farmer’s family?
She suddenly remembered that when she was having a meal at a farmer's house before, there was a little baby in the farmer's house who kept coughing.

It was also at that time that she pulled Shen Dalu into the house and talked about the plague.

"Miss, the bandits brought back by the eldest master were all infected with the plague, and two of them died!" Ke Xin said.

"What!" Shen Jiaojiao's pupils trembled violently, she couldn't believe it.

They were all infected with the plague, so she...

Seeing her tremble all over, Ke Ying quickly hugged her and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Miss, you are fine, you are fine, you are fine."

"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to the cold-resistant prescription that Mr. Qian gave us earlier. Yulan said that it was because the young lady drank that medicine that she didn't get infected."

Hearing that it was the effect of the prescription, Shen Jiaojiao thought of Qian Lao and Aoxue who were outside investigating the plague, and hurriedly asked.

"Have you told Mr. Qian about the effectiveness of the cold-resistant prescription?"

"I've already said that Mr. Qian has already started preparing." Ke Xin's worried face finally showed a hint of smile, "Aoxue also said that she wants to come back."

Hearing that Aoxue was coming back, Shen Jiaojiao also smiled, "Is she okay?"

"without……"

Ke Xin's words were interrupted by a knock on the door.

The maid's voice came from outside, and she seemed very anxious, "Miss, someone else is coming to the Jiang residence!"

Ke Xin put away her smile and said, "Oh, you're here to pick up another troublemaker."

The evildoer refers to Jiang Yi.
