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

Chapter 283 Who dares to go?

Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Master Meng, "Foster father, Master Qian wants to give me acupuncture to regulate my body, what do you think..."

The implication of her words was obviously that she hoped he would leave first.

Master Meng saw that she didn't want to say more, so he could only shake his head helplessly, "You, when you were little, you kept calling me godfather, but now that you've grown up, you don't want me anymore."

As he said this, he stood up and smiled at her.

"Take good care of yourself. Your foster father will be there for you. Don't be afraid. He will protect you."

"Yeah." Shen Jiaojiao's eyes were slightly red and she forced a smile on her face.

She is lucky.

At least her adoptive father loved her and was willing to seek justice for her from the Jiang family.

But... Meng Wan and her stepmother owed her justice, how could she ask for it?

When Mr. Meng disappeared at the door, Aunt Ning also stood up and left.

"Jiaojiao, Auntie knows Mr. Qian's rules, so I won't stay here. I'll come to see you later."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "Okay."

After the others left, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Mr. Qian, her eyes shining.

"Mr. Qian, what did you three talk about in the room just now? Did my foster father and Aunt Ning have a private chat?"

Mr. Qian rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Gossip."

"Oh, just tell me!" She walked to the seat next to Mr. Qian and sat down, pouring tea attentively, "Drink some tea, Mr. Qian."

Old Qian lowered his head and glanced at the teacup. Unable to persuade her, he had to pick it up and take a sip.

"Nothing was said, except that your Aunt Ning was grateful to me for saving her life, and your father was also very grateful to me for saving your life."

"Gone?" Shen Jiaojiao was dumbfounded.

How can this be?

She doesn't believe it!
It was clear that Aunt Ning was hiding something in her heart, and my adoptive father's attitude towards Aunt Ning was also not right, and it didn't seem like nothing had happened.

Qian Lao glanced at her and asked, "What else?"

She laughed dryly, lowered her head and dared not speak.

She couldn't say that she suspected her adoptive father had feelings for Aunt Ning, right?

But...if you think about it carefully, it's really unlikely.

Aunt Ning's cousin was taken as a concubine by my adoptive father, and Aunt Ning herself was married and had several children. My adoptive father wouldn't be so obsessed with her...

"Alright, alright, stop imagining. Go lie down on the couch in the back and I'll give you acupuncture." After saying that, Mr. Qian turned his head and looked around. "Where's Aoxue?"

Shen Jiaojiao quickly asked Ke Xin to invite Aoxue over.

Aoxue arrived quickly and assisted Mr. Qian in giving the acupuncture, and the two worked together very smoothly.

After the acupuncture, when packing up, Old Qian brought up the old matter again, "Miss Aoxue, I see that you have excellent talent. If you are willing to learn medicine from me..."

"I don't want to." Aoxue shook her head and refused without thinking.

Shen Jiaojiao was anxious, "No, she is willing!"

"You can still make the decision for Miss Aoxue?" Old Qian was surprised. "Miss, don't bluff me."

This old man is also cunning. He wants to finalize the matter with Shen Jiaojiao directly without going through Aoxue.

He really valued talent, and he accepted several disciples, but none of them was as quick to learn as Aoxue.

"She can't control me." said Aoxue.

"I don't care!" Shen Jiaojiao angrily pulled Aoxue to her side and whispered, "Didn't we agree that when I get better, you will study medicine with Master Qian?"

Aoxue lowered her head and said softly, "Then we'll talk about it when the time comes."

"Mr. Qian can't wait for you." She rolled her eyes to the sky.

Seeing this, Elder Qian stepped forward and said, "I can wait. I have to go to the Northern Territory to look for my eldest disciple. I will look for you when I come back from the Northern Territory."

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with surprise, "Are you going to the North?"

"Well, my eldest disciple is still missing, I want to go look for him."

"Is the North safe?" she asked.

Even Lin'an has been uneasy these days, not to mention the northern border which has long been ravaged by the plague.

Old Qian went there alone, probably to die, and besides... She remembered that Meng Hun had just told her that the prescription seemed incomplete and could not prevent the plague - she drank a lot of cold-resistant medicine, but still contracted the plague.

Fortunately, there were no symptoms and I recovered quickly.

"It seems that Meng Xiaozi has told you everything."

Mr. Qian was not surprised that she knew about the Northern Territory.

"The situation in the North is indeed not very good, but...if I don't go, who will dare to go?"

Shen Jiaojiao's pupils trembled slightly, and she stared at the old man in front of her.

An old man with white hair and beard actually has the spirit of "I will go forward even if there are thousands of people against me"!

She admired him from the bottom of her heart, and all the words that came to her mouth were stuck in her throat.

After a long silence, she nodded silently and said "OK".

"Haha, don't worry about it. I have my own way." Boss Qian laughed and then looked at Aoxue. "Miss Aoxue, can you please have a word with me?"

Aoxue turned her head to look at Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao knew that Mr. Qian wanted to talk to Aoxue about the prescription for curing the plague, so she nodded and told Aoxue to follow him without worry.

As soon as the two left, the main room instantly became quiet.

Snow was still falling outside the window, but fortunately the whistling sound gradually stopped.

The house was warm. She stood there, staring blankly at the side wall. There was a gap in the window above, and she could vaguely see the white snow outside the window.

The Jiang family, Prince Qing, the Northern Territory...there must be some kind of relationship between the three.

I just hope everything goes well for Mr. Qian!

"Miss!"

Keying's voice was heard outside the door, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Shen Jiaojiao came back to her senses and looked at the maid who walked in quickly.

"what happened?"

"The master has asked you to have dinner in the main courtyard later." Keying said.

She said 'hmm', "I understand."

"How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine. Mr. Qian is here to give me acupuncture. You and Ke Xin don't have to worry too much." She explained.

Ke Ying responded, then leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I have heard some news from the main courtyard."

"what news?"

"That menstrual belt is definitely the Second Miss's." Keying raised her eyebrows towards the main courtyard. "After hearing what Ke Xin said just now, I sent someone to investigate. Who would have thought that they would actually find out something."

"Ah? What did you ask?"

Ke Ying's voice became increasingly subtle, "The Second Miss deliberately spread the rumor of her pregnancy to avoid punishment. The maid who served the Second Miss before also seemed to know about this."

Shen Jiaojiao blinked and quickly remembered who Meng Wan's maid was.

A few days ago, she was angry at Meng Wan for harming her time and time again, and planned to fight back against him, but Aoxue didn't do anything at all.

The one who took the opportunity to attack was Meng Wan's maid.

"No wonder Meng Wan wanted to severely punish the maids in Handan Courtyard. He must be afraid that this matter would be exposed."

Later, Handanyuan directly replaced a group of people.

Keying sighed, "Poor maids who don't know about this."

"Don't tell anyone about this and tell Ke Xin to keep her mouth shut." Shen Jiaojiao said.

"Miss, don't you intend to expose the second lady's conspiracy?"

"No, we can't expose it. We have to help her hide it from Chen Yuanli." She raised a playful smile, "I want to make a big fuss about Meng Wan and Jiang Yi's conspiracy against me, and force Chen Yuanli to divorce her."

"Ah? If the uncle divorces the second young lady, then he will have to rely on you, right?"

"Don't worry, my stepmother will help."

Having said that, Shen Jiaojiao turned around and went back to the east wing.

"Change my clothes for me. I need to go to the main courtyard."
