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

Chapter 274 Taking risks
Meng Hun walked up to Shen Jiaojiao, straightened her collar, and patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry, I didn't find out."

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, "What do you mean by not finding anything?"

"The descendant of the former imperial physician Wu Yuanshou committed suicide by taking poison. We were unable to save him. He seemed to have known that I would not let him go, so he chose to die."

"died?"

"Yes, dead."

"Then... the matter of poisoning..."

Meng Hun chuckled, "Jiaojiao, I have plenty of ways to find out these things, you don't have to worry."

As they were talking, the two of them had already reached the door.

Outside the door is a world covered in snow.

Shen Jiaojiao naturally believed in her brother's ability.

The Meng family’s business empire has been able to expand so quickly and steadily, and my brother-in-law has made an indelible contribution.

If one really wanted to find out who poisoned her many years ago, it would only take a few minutes.

For example, find out where this descendant of Wu Yuanshou worked, who he contacted during his time there, who he had a good relationship with, and get this person's home address.

For example, check the items left by this person to see whether he had contact with his stepmother, and check the people around his stepmother.

By following the clues, we will soon find the mastermind behind the scenes.

"What about the matter of the kitchen sending you incompatible ingredients? Have you checked it out?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

Meng Hui nodded, "Of course there is."

"Is this the person who did it?"

"It's him. I've already replaced the people in the kitchen. You can rest assured."

"Okay, then I'm relieved." She was completely relieved and raised her hand to push the door, but Meng Hun held her hand and stopped her.

"Here's the hot water bottle."

Before she could react, a warm hot water bottle appeared in her cold palm.

The door in front was pushed open by the man.

A bitingly cold wind blew in my face.

White snow flakes floated down from the sky, sweeping towards the two of them, and quickly landed at their feet, melting into a drop of water in a short while.

The temperature in the room is too high, so the snowflakes cannot stay.

Shen Jiaojiao shrank her neck, and before she could bury her face in her collar, Meng Hun pulled up the hood of her robe for her.

"Let's go."

After saying that, the man walked out first.

She curled her brows, put her hands into her sleeves with a clear conscience, still holding the hot water bottle, and followed him out.

Meng Hun was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he simply sent someone to invite Old Qian over and asked her to wait in the main hall of Qinghui Courtyard.

After a while, Mr. Qian came over, taking one deep step and one shallow step.

Seeing the two people sitting opposite each other, drinking hot tea comfortably, the old man suddenly became angry.

"It's a pity for me. I have to run around in the middle of winter and I don't even have a cup of hot tea."

Two young and strong men actually asked an old man to run back and forth...

No heart!
Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly stood up, helped Mr. Qian to his seat, and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Mr. Qian, please have some tea."

Old Qian turned his head away proudly, snorted, left her aside, and refused to take the teacup.

Meng Hun couldn't bear it and pushed the teacup in front of the old man.

"That's enough. Jiaojiao is weak, do you still want her to serve you?"

Mr. Qian immediately reached out to protect the teacup, fearing that it would fall over and the hot water inside would splash all over him.

"She just likes to bully the old man! I saved her life, so what's wrong with her serving the old man a cup of tea?" As he said this, he lowered his head pretending to be aggrieved.

"Brother! Be careful!" Shen Jiaojiao glared at Meng Hun, condemning him for being so rude. "Mr. Qian is right. He is my savior. I should pour him this cup of tea."

Seeing Meng Hun being scolded, Old Qian felt happy and made a face at him where Shen Jiaojiao couldn't see.

Meng Hun looked at the old naughty boy expressionlessly without saying a word.

After the three of them sat down again, Shen Jiaojiao held the hot water bottle and asked about what had happened to Mr. Qian in recent days.

"Mr. Qian, how are you? How is Aoxue? What's the situation outside now? Has the spread of the plague been stopped?"

Mr. Qian straightened his face and answered seriously: "I have always been in good health, you don't have to worry about me. Aoxue...she has contracted the plague."

"what?!"

She stood up suddenly and looked at Mr. Qian in disbelief.

"How could she be infected with the plague?! Hasn't she been following you? How could she be infected with the plague?"

Mr. Qian waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, don't be impatient, just listen to me."

"Oh, please tell me! What happened to her? I'm so worried."

"It's okay, she's fine." Seeing that she was stamping her feet in anxiety, Mr. Qian didn't dare to keep her in suspense any longer, and quickly told her everything that had happened in the past few days.

After leaving the Meng Mansion, Old Qian and Aoxue came to a house owned by the Meng family in the north of the city.

There are many people living nearby, and many people are infected with the plague, making it the best place to test drugs.

Not long after the two men arrived at the mansion, they soon discovered that the servants serving in the mansion also showed symptoms of cold, and they quickly set up an observation area in the yard.

All those who have caught the cold are housed in the observation area.

Before they were properly settled, Meng Hun sent more people to help.

Aoxue is very diligent. Not only does she accompany Mr. Qian to see patients and record their conditions, but she also takes on the task of decocting and applying medicine.

Soon, they discovered that the cold-resistant prescription that Mr. Qian had left for Shen Jiaojiao seemed to be effective and had a certain inhibitory effect on the plague.

But patients who have taken the medicine cannot tell their doctors about their physical conditions well, so they cannot accurately adjust the dosage of the anti-cold prescription.

So, Aoxue decided to take the risk.

Fortunately, Mr. Qian’s medical skills were indeed superb. With the cooperation of the two, they quickly came up with a prescription for treating the early, middle and late stages of the plague.

Aoxue also recovered quickly.

Today I went back to the Meng Mansion with Old Qian, and now I should go back to Mingzhu Courtyard.

Knowing that Aoxue was safe and sound, Shen Jiaojiao finally let go of the heavy burden in her heart.

"This is too dangerous, why don't you stop her?" Shen Jiaojiao complained.

If something happens, it will be over, right?

There are many people who can accurately describe the condition, so why does Aoxue need to take the risk herself?
Qian Lao smiled and said, "Your maid is really good. I want to take her as my apprentice, but unfortunately she doesn't want to."

He didn't say a word about stopping it or not.

In Mr. Qian's opinion, Aoxue's risking his life is the same as that of an ordinary person.

Why is Aoxue's life more valuable than others?
Of course, a noble lady like Shen Jiaojiao would never understand such words.

As expected, Shen Jiaojiao was led astray and began to wonder why Aoxue was unwilling to be Master Qian's disciple.

"That's impossible. You are a great doctor. She can improve her medical skills by following you. Why wouldn't she want to?"

"She said she was worried about you." Then, she glanced at her and said, "You, you really wasted Aoxue's talent."

She frowned, how could she be willing to take the blame?
"What do I have to worry about? I have my sworn brother protecting me in the Meng Mansion, so I won't be in any danger at all. If Aoxue is willing to go with you, I will definitely let her go."

When saying these words, Shen Jiaojiao's eyes flickered and she didn't dare to look at Mr. Qian at all.

It wasn't that she felt guilty about letting Aoxue go, but she was afraid that Mr. Qian would know that she was kidnapped two days ago.

Ahem, my brother can't protect her...

Mr. Qian looked at her with a smile, exposing her lie.

"Really? Then why do I hear rumors that you were kidnapped by thieves and are missing?"
