Chapter 272 Adding fuel to the flames
Mrs. Jiang nodded repeatedly with a look of gratitude on her face.

"Thank Mr. Meng for me. Thank him for sparing Ayi's life. I promise that she will never appear in front of Jiaojiao in the future."

As he said this, he turned to look at Shen Jiaojiao, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Jiaojiao, auntie doesn't ask you to forgive Jiang Yi. Since she made a mistake, she deserves to bear the consequences. My Jiang family will never blame the Meng family. I just hope you won't be estranged from auntie."

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head to avoid the scorching gaze.

"Jiaojiao knows."

When Mrs. Jiang saw her like this, she knew that she had a knot in her heart. How could she get over this hurdle?

If it were me, and I encountered something like this, it would be impossible for us to be as close as before...

It seemed that the two were about to reach a stalemate again.

Yuzhu took the lead in breaking the deadlock, calling in a few strong maids to come in and carry Jiang Yi to the Jiang Mansion's carriage.

After everything was settled, he bowed to Mrs. Jiang.

"Mrs. Jiang, please come this way."

"Ugh!"

Mrs. Jiang moved her lips a few times, sighed heavily, and finally said nothing and followed Yuzhu out.

Shen Jiaojiao kept her head down and never looked over there.

Keying stayed by her side, holding her hand.

Mrs. Yue was sitting on an embroidery cushion, slowly and methodically packing up the silver needles while secretly observing Shen Jiaojiao's expression.

There were only three people left in the house at this time.

Seeing that Yue Niang was sitting there calmly and refused to leave, Ke Ying had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask her to leave.

"Mrs. Yue, the patient is gone. I'll send someone to take you back first..."

"Don't worry." Madam Yue waved her hand and looked at Shen Jiaojiao with a smile, "Miss, come and talk to me."

Hearing the shout, Shen Jiaojiao came to her senses and turned to look over.

"what did you say?"

She didn't hear clearly.

"I mean, would you like to talk to me?" Mrs. Yue repeated.

"Of course it's possible."

As she spoke, Shen Jiaojiao brought a round chair and sat next to her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Keying.

This means he wants her to avoid it.

Ke Ying bit her lower lip and shook her head gently, "Please forgive me, Madam Yue, I cannot go out."

Ever since Shen Jiaojiao was kidnapped in the Meng Mansion, Meng Hun gave the servants in Mingzhu Courtyard a strict rule - the eldest lady was not allowed to act alone.

If the eldest young master knew that she left the young lady and the mother-in-law alone, he would definitely skin her alive.

"Oh, you maid, are you afraid that I will eat your young lady?" Madam Yue frowned and glared at Keying unhappily.

Ke Ying did not argue. She knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily to the ground.

"Please forgive me, Madam Yue."

Mrs. Yue was so angry that her temples were throbbing with pain, but she really couldn't persuade this stubborn maid, so she had no choice but to compromise.

"Forget it, just stay here!"

"Thank you, Madam Yue." Keying breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Jiaojiao frowned and looked at Keying, "You maid, my brother's Qinghui Courtyard is like an iron barrel, what are you afraid of?"

As he said this, he called her up with concern.

"You need to correct your habit of kneeling on the ground all the time."

Ke Ying stood up as she was told, knowing that her mistress was worried about her.

"Mother-in-law, do you have anything to say to me?" Shen Jiaojiao asked straight to the point.

"Or your body..." Madam Yue's face was a little solemn, "Because there were outsiders here just now, I didn't feel comfortable asking, but the poison in your body... doesn't seem to be common, it seems..."

"Like the poison of the previous dynasty?" she took over the conversation.

"Hey! Right, right! This is it, the poison developed by the Imperial Hospital of the previous dynasty!"

"No doubt, this is the poison from the previous dynasty." She was a little more curious about Yue Niangzi's medical skills, "Can you tell this? I have already eliminated the poison in my body." "If it was a few days later, I might not be able to take this pulse."

Afterwards, Madam Yue solemnly warned Shen Jiaojiao to be careful, as the poison used in the previous dynasty's Imperial Hospital was different from that of the current dynasty, especially the poison from Dean Wu.

Madam Yue also told her that cultivating poisonous insects was not an easy task, and the person who harmed her was not an ordinary person.

After hearing all the instructions, Shen Jiaojiao was both moved and sad - moved by her mother-in-law's concern, and sad that the person who hurt her back then was none other than that person.

She has called her stepmother for more than ten years.

The poisonous insect was planted by Meng Wan, and there is that person behind Meng Wan, so she can't defeat him.

But the poison in her body was something she had had since she was a child...

It happened that Yuzhu came back at this time and sent Mrs. Yue out.

Ke Ying pulled a round chair and sat next to Shen Jiaojiao.

"Miss, what are you thinking?"

"Thinking about the poisons from the previous dynasty in my body..."

"Miss, have you forgotten? The eldest master has already caught that man, and he is still locked up in the outer courtyard."

Shen Jiaojiao tilted her head, "Is that true?"

"I remember now. At that time, Master Qian was removing the poisonous insects from you. You were in a coma for a long time, so you naturally didn't know what the young master had done."

"Oh! That!" She slapped her forehead and remembered, "Then I have to ask my brother."

"Ask me something?" Meng Hun's voice came from outside.

Looking back, Shen Jiaojiao saw the man standing at the door, his figure glowing silver in the faint light coming in from outside.

Her cheeks felt hot and she subconsciously looked away.

Meng Hun strode in, stood beside her, and glanced at Keying indifferently.

Ke Ying shrank her neck, turned around and ran away.

"Hey, don't go..."

Shen Jiaojiao stretched out her hand and tried to grab Keying's sleeve, but was held tightly by the man next to her.

"What? Are you avoiding me again?"

"No...no way..." Shen Jiaojiao stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Really?" Meng Hun chuckled and slowly pinched her fingers in his palm to play with them.

She was startled, and her eyes unconsciously moved to the man's waist, fearing that he would do the same thing again...

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the clothes were smooth.

Fortunately, fortunately, no changes.

"What are you thinking about?"

Meng Hun shook his head and laughed, then pulled her up from the chair.

"I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Shen Jiaojiao finally felt relieved when she saw that he really didn't have that intention.

"You just met Jiang Yi, right?"

"seen."

Thinking of the bloody scene, the color on Shen Jiaojiao's face gradually faded, and she looked a little pale.

"Yumei interrogated Jiang Yi and got the news that..." The man paused and spoke in a more serious tone, "Meng Wan was also involved."

She blinked, "I guessed."

These two people have come together again and again, and it is obvious that their relationship is not just ordinary friends.

"Murong Zi pretended to be Yumei, and was brought in by Meng Wan. It was also Meng Wan's people who knocked you out."

As he spoke, Meng Hun squeezed her hand.

"Jiaojiao, there is one more thing..."

Shen Jiaojiao had never seen her brother hesitant like this, and couldn't help but look at him curiously.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

The man lowered his head, looking reluctant, "She also contributed to this."
