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

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanli knew that what happened in the villa had reached Shen Jiaojiao's ears, and he couldn't help but feel panicked.

"No, that's not the case. Jiaojiao, listen to my explanation..."

She scoffed, "Then explain it to me."

Chen Yuanli swallowed and looked at her cautiously.

"It's all Zhou Yan's fault. She didn't let me go back home, and she lost her balance and fell down the stairs. She was also the one who told me she was fine and asked me not to go see a doctor..."

Shen Jiaojiao was amazed.

She didn't expect that there would be such shameless people in the world.

Just ask yourself, which woman in the world would joke about a baby in her belly? Based on her understanding of Aunt Zhou, she knew that she would never do such a thing.

"You are so... shameless."

She looked coldly at the man in front of her, with disgust and ridicule clearly visible in her eyes.

"Jiaojiao, I didn't lie to you. It's really Zhou Yan's fault!"

Chen Yuanli hurried forward, wanting to pass Aoxue who was sitting outside and hold Shen Jiaojiao's hand.

"If you don't believe me, I'll go find her and confront you face to face."

Aoxue straightened her back and held her young lady firmly behind her. The teacup in her hand swayed and almost spilled on Chen Yuanli.

"Sir, please be careful with the tea."

Chen Yuanli was so frightened that he took two steps back and dodged.

"How dare you! I'm talking to Jiaojiao, why are you butting in? Get off now!"

As he spoke, the man glanced at Aoxue and acted like a son-in-law.

Aoxue only listened to Shen Jiaojiao's words, so how could she fall for his tricks? She immediately said with a fake smile: "Sir, are you mistaken? The young lady was talking to us just now."

The implication is that you are redundant.

"Rebellion! You, a servant girl, actually don't take me seriously!" Chen Yuanli was so angry that he jumped up and down, and his voice suddenly rose, "Someone! Drag this servant girl away!"

There was no reaction from outside.

It was as if all the servants had disappeared.

Chen Yuanli was very angry and cast his gaze on Ke Xin and Keying, "Ke Xin, Keying, what's wrong with you two? You don't even listen to your master's words?"

Ke Ying sat upright on the small couch and said calmly, "Sir, you are joking. My master is the eldest lady."

Chen Yuanli was choked by these words and almost died of anger.

Ever since he led away the servants of Mingzhu Courtyard and tried to get intimate with Shen Jiaojiao, Shen Jiaojiao has replaced all the servants in the courtyard.

Even he, the son-in-law, can't order these maids around!

"Alright, alright, don't embarrass them. I asked them to come to the bed to talk to me." Shen Jiaojiao put down the teacup and stared at him, "If you have a temper, come at me."

Chen Yuanli was shocked by the distant attitude.

He quickly put away the anger on his face and his tone became gentler.

"Jiaojiao, look at what you said. How can I have a bad temper? It's just that this maid blocked my way..."

"It's me who doesn't want to see you. If you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing else, just leave."

"Something's going on, of course there's something going on."

"Then tell me."

Chen Yuanli stood beside the couch awkwardly, "You can't blame me for what happened to Ayan! Besides, isn't she fine now?"

Shen Jiaojiao raised her hand to support her forehead and opened and closed her mouth again and again. Finally, she suppressed the rebuke that was stuck in her throat and turned to look at Yumei who was standing aside.

"see a visitor out."

Yumei nodded and made a 'please' gesture to Chen Yuanli, "Son-in-law, please go back."

Chen Yuanli was reluctant to leave, but he did not dare to offend the maid in Meng Hun's courtyard, so he could only smile and say, "I will talk to your eldest lady again."

"I don't want to talk to him. Show him out."

"Jiaojiao, you..."

Shen Jiaojiao sneered, "What?" "Forget it, you are still angry. Calm down first, and I will explain to you later." Seeing her firm attitude, Chen Yuanli had no choice but to retreat and leave first.

After the annoying person left, she turned her gaze to Aoxue, "Are you sure you are well again?"

Aoxue understood the deep meaning of it.

"Young lady wants me to see Aunt Zhou?"

"Well, although Zhou Yan is thoughtful, he is only against Meng Wan. If he were in another courtyard, who would he be thinking about? I don't trust Chen Yuanli."

Shen Jiaojiao's meaning was very clear. She was afraid that Chen Yuanli would keep it secret.

If Aunt Zhou were to die from now on, then...

"In that case, I will go to the other courtyard. Miss, you don't have to worry too much about my health. You should take good care of yourself."

"Thank you for your hard work." She patted Aoxue's hand with a happy smile on her face, "I can only feel at ease when you are by my side."

Aoxue smiled lightly, "Then I'll go."

Shen Jiaojiao quickly ordered the two servants to follow Aoxue and make sure nothing went wrong.

Not long after Aoxue left, Yumei, who had seen Chen Yuanli off, walked in.

"Sister Yumei, come here."

She waved to Yumei, indicating that she should sit in Aoxue's previous seat.

Yumei paused, turned her head to look at Kexin and Keying opposite her, and seeing that they were sitting as if it was a matter of course, she got on the couch.

"I heard that you were responsible for interrogating Meng Wan and Jiang Yi. Did you find out anything?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

After returning from her disappearance, she felt that things in the mansion had changed.

Since waking up, the only person she saw was her sworn brother, followed by Chen Yuanli.

My adoptive father, mother and Meng Wan seemed to have disappeared.

Yumei nodded. "I have told the young master all the information I got from the interrogation. He should have told you, right?"

"No."

She pursed her lips, her face showing unhappiness.

"My brother didn't want me to know. He spoke in a confused manner and I couldn't understand him."

Yumei raised her eyes and looked at the two maids opposite her without saying a word.

Shen Jiaojiao also noticed this gaze and quickly realized that Yumei didn't want the two maids to know.

She suppressed her doubts and changed the subject, "Forget it, when my foster father comes back, he will give me an explanation."

The four of them chatted to kill time.

While chatting, Ke Xin suddenly mentioned something strange.

"Madam, you have had your period twice this month, but you haven't asked a doctor to come to see you. Are you afraid that this matter will get out?"

Ke Ying asked curiously, "How do you know?"

"The maid in the main courtyard told me."

"Those maids are all Madam's people. You'd better be careful and don't let them take advantage of you." Yumei reminded Kexin.

"I know, but... I think the source of this information cannot be wrong."

Ke Xin counted the days on her fingers.

"Do you remember the maidservant who was dragged here by the Second Miss to be a scapegoat the day before yesterday? Her little sister told me about it."

Everyone had an impression of that little maid.

At that time, Meng Wan plotted to frame Aunt Zhou. She was clearly not pregnant, but she deliberately hid a little maid who was pregnant under the bed and almost fooled everyone.

Later, the little maid lost too much blood and almost lost her life. It was Shen Jiaojiao who went against everyone's opinion and asked Madam Yue to save the little maid's life.

"Maybe he's not feeling well..." Keying said.

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes flashed, "No, this is not normal." (End of this chapter)
