Chapter 289 The grace of nurturing
Shen Jiaojiao was stunned and looked at the man in front of her in confusion.

Deal with Meng Wan?

Didn't my brother already deal with it? Could it be that Meng Wan did something else?
"Jiaojiao, although I have punished Meng Wan and Jiang Yi, you also need to vent your anger." Meng Hun raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, "You shouldn't hold your anger in your heart."

"Sworn brother..."

She stared at Meng Hun blankly, her whole heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, and her eye sockets quickly turned red.

Even her adoptive father couldn't bring himself to ask her to 'deal with Meng Wan' again, let alone take care of her feelings and let her vent her anger.

Only this man was unwilling to let her suffer any grievances.

"Are you crying already? I'll have to come into the house and interrogate you later."

Meng Hun shook his head and laughed, then took out a clean handkerchief and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She lowered her head, avoiding the intimate gesture, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it herself.

Meng Hun withdrew his hand naturally and glanced towards the corner again.

"Thank you, brother. Let's go into the house first." Shen Jiaojiao said.

"Okay, let's go."

After saying that, Meng Hun looked towards the corner again.

The edge of the crimson-purple robe flashed by, and the aura disappeared along with it.

The Meng family didn't know that he was good at martial arts and had deep internal strength. He could clearly sense that someone was standing at the corner and eavesdropping on their conversation.

The two of them returned to the main room one after the other.

The house was brightly lit with candles, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Mr. Meng was chatting with Mrs. Meng.

Meng Wan snuggled in Chen Yuanli's arms. Previously, this pair of resentful lovers were still suspicious of each other, but now they seemed to have reconciled.

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh that Meng Wan's methods were truly superb.

Seeing her come in, Chen Yuanli subconsciously pushed the woman in his arms away, stood up, and walked towards her in panic.

"Jiaojiao, you're back."

As he spoke, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Even though she changed into light-colored clothes and was less ostentatious, it couldn't conceal her beautiful face.

"Yeah." She nodded, walked past Chen Yuanli and went straight inside.

Meng Hun, who was one step behind, also walked in and patted Chen Yuanli's arm.

"What are you doing here, Yuan Li? Come inside and talk."

Chen Yuanli forced a wry smile and walked back.

"Jiaojiao is back." Master Meng looked at her with a smile, "Just in time, I was just talking about you with your stepmother."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded slightly, found a place to sit down, and smiled back, "What did godfather say? Let Jiaojiao listen too."

"It's almost the end of the year, your stepmother said that the Spring Examination will be held after the New Year, so she asked Yuan Li to go to the capital in advance to prepare for the exam so that he doesn't have to travel too late."

"Going to the capital ahead of time?" She looked up at Chen Yuanli, "I've never heard Yuanli mention this before."

Chen Yuanli hurriedly distanced himself from the issue, "This is my father-in-law and mother-in-law's idea. I haven't made up my mind yet."

As he said this, he was about to sit next to Shen Jiaojiao.

"Go sit over there." She pointed at Meng Wan across from her, "Weren't you sitting there just now?"

Chen Yuanli didn't expect that she would be so disrespectful to him in front of everyone in the Meng Mansion, so he had to turn around and sit back next to Meng Wan.

But I don’t dare to hug or cuddle anymore.

Meng Hun glanced at Madam Meng's crimson-purple dress and sat down leisurely.

The seat is next to Shen Jiaojiao.

Looking at this strange scene, no one present dared to question it.

"Since my adoptive father and mother have discussed it, if Yuan Li has no objection, then let's pack up and head to the capital on a certain day," said Shen Jiaojiao.

She had no feelings for this nominal husband.

It doesn't matter whether you stay in the Meng Mansion or go to the capital.

Of course, before he rushed to the capital, he had to settle the divorce first. Everyone turned their eyes to Chen Yuanli.

Especially Meng Wan, his eyes became misty again and tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Yuan Li, are you going to leave us mother and son behind and go to the capital to take the exam?"

"I..." Chen Yuanli opened his mouth, looking hesitant.

He studied hard for many years in order to one day pass the imperial examination and bring honor to his family.

Now that his father-in-law thinks it is better to take the exam early, he naturally believes in his father-in-law's experience.

"Wan'er, you are not allowed to drag down Yuan Li." Madam Meng pulled her daughter's sleeve and reminded her implicitly, "If Yuan Li passes the imperial examination and comes back as the top scholar, our Meng family will be extraordinary."

Meng Wan pursed her lips, "But Yuanli went to the capital and took the spring and autumn examinations, so he didn't get to see the child at all."

"Good boy, just ask Yuanli to send more letters home when the time comes." Mrs. Meng advised earnestly.

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, watching the two people opposite her acting out the deep love between mother and daughter, and laughed secretly in her heart.

Where do the children who don’t have children come from?
Even the pregnancy is fake, where can I find a child?

Could it be that... my stepmother is planning to get rid of Chen Yuanli and adopt a child from outside?
The matter of Chen Yuanli going to Beijing to take the imperial examination could not be decided immediately. After a brief chat, the few of them turned to look at Master Meng, waiting for his words.

Mr. Meng frowned and looked at Meng Wan seriously.

"Meng Wan, do you know you are wrong?"

Meng Wan's whole body trembled, and he looked at Madam Meng in panic, his eyes full of pleading.

Mrs. Meng winked at the ground.

Meng Wan quickly stood up and walked to the center, knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Wan'er knows his mistake."

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

"I was wrong to believe Jiang Yi's lies and team up with her to frame my sister..."

"anything else?"

"Also... I shouldn't have thought so highly of myself, thinking I could get close to Prince Qing, but ended up being a pawn in his hands."

Master Meng snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the baby in your belly, I would have to punish you with family law!"

"Wan'er knows that she has committed a grave sin and has caused great suffering to her sister, so she dares not beg for mercy."

Meng Wan turned around and kowtowed heavily to Shen Jiaojiao.

"Sister, I am sorry for you. After I give birth to the baby, you can beat me and scold me as you like. I will never say no."

"Oh, really?" Shen Jiaojiao glanced at Meng Wan calmly, "Then I'll wait for your child to be born."

She did not hide the sarcasm in her tone.

Meng Wan rested her head on the cold ground and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you for your understanding, sister."

Then, he carefully raised his head and looked at Meng Hun beside him.

"Big brother, I forgive you. I know I was wrong. Please don't punish me anymore..."

When he talked about the latter part, Meng Wan even burst into tears.

Obviously, Meng Wan suffered a lot during the two days he was locked up.

Meng Hun lowered his eyes and drank tea, unwilling to pay attention to Meng Wan.

He was too lazy to act with a fake. If this person wasn't useful, he would have kicked Meng Wan out of the Meng Mansion long ago.

When Mrs. Meng saw her beloved daughter crawling on the ground humbly and begging for mercy from Shen Jiaojiao and Meng Hun, she felt very upset and hurriedly stepped forward to help speak.

"Yes, yes, Wan'er has been punished, and Jiaojiao is fine too, so let's just let this matter go, right?"

As he said this, he turned around and glanced at Chen Yuanli.

Chen Yuanli couldn't disobey his mother-in-law's order, so he had to bite the bullet and speak.

"Jiaojiao, please be magnanimous and forgive Wan'er this time. Look how haggard she is now. She can't stand it. After she gives birth to the baby and recovers, I will personally bring her to apologize to you."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and looked at them in disbelief.

The way she said this made it sound like she was a bad person because she didn't sympathize with Meng Wan.

It was obviously Meng Wan who made the mistake!
Seeing that she was unmoved, Mrs. Meng was worried that she would really attack Meng Wan, so she closed her eyes and became ruthless, and used filial piety to pressure her.

"Jiaojiao, please forgive Wan'er this time, considering that the Meng family has raised you for many years."
