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

Chapter 294 The old man is really lucky
Shen Jiaojiao turned her face to the side, looked at her hand held in the palm of a big hand, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

She liked this kind of delicate preference.

After thinking for a while, she turned to face Meng Hun and put her other hand into the man's palm.

Meng Hun smiled and lovingly held both of her hands to keep her warm, with tenderness in his eyes.

"What else do you want to ask?"

"I want to ask my aunt." She lowered her head slightly, and her long and curled eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow under her eyes.

"Does my aunt hate me?"

"I didn't see Mrs. Jiang."

"Aunt doesn't even see you?"

"I heard that Jiang Er had a high fever again after returning home. Madam Jiang should be taking care of Jiang Er."

The man spoke in a calm tone, showing no guilt for Jiang Yi's experience. He even felt that the punishment he suffered was not enough.

"Oh." Shen Jiaojiao nodded slowly and forcefully. The word sounded like it was hummed from her nose, and it was very heavy.

Meng Hun squeezed her palm and said, "Jiao Jiao, you don't have to feel guilty. I was the one who did these things. You don't have to bear the responsibility..."

Shen Jiaojiao forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "This is the punishment Jiang Yi got for his own evil deeds. I don't feel guilty, brother, you don't have to worry about me."

She was just sad, and from now on her aunt would never have anything to do with her again.

It's just one less loved one.

Ever since she was old enough to understand things, she had long accepted the fact that she had no relatives. Otherwise, why would she cling to Madam Meng so tightly and not let go?
Fortunately, she has grown up and can live well alone even without any relatives or family affection.

Meng Hui sighed, raised his hand and pinched her upturned nose, "Jiaojiao, you don't have to hide everything in your heart, tell me, I will make the decision for you."

He knew that the woman in front of him was a tough-mouthed person, and who knows how she would cry behind his back.

"Forget it, let's not talk about her." Shen Jiaojiao shook her head and asked another question, "Why did my brother go to the Jiang family?"

It's funny, because of Mrs. Jiang's relationship, she also paid more attention to the Jiang family. Yesterday, her brother-in-law's answer was vague, and she wanted to know the real purpose.

Meng Hun did not hide anything and told the whole story.

Yesterday afternoon, Governor Jiang suddenly sent someone to invite him, saying that he had an urgent matter to discuss with Meng Hun.

He didn't want to go at first, but thinking of Shen Jiaojiao's admiration for Mrs. Jiang, he accepted the invitation.

When he arrived at Jiang's house, he was led to the study by a servant, where he saw Governor Jiang, who looked anxious.

When Governor Jiang saw him, he felt like he had seen a life-saving straw and staggered towards him.

"Mr. Meng! What do you think Prince Qing meant?!"

Meng Hun narrowed his eyes and didn't understand what Governor Jiang said.

Without waiting for him to ask, Governor Jiang started to pour out his grievances.

"Prince Qing sent someone to the Jiang family and brought out all the evidence that my rebellious daughter had cooperated with him, demanding that my Jiang family cooperate with him, or else he would report me to the emperor.

“They even took the initiative to mention Prefect Wei, saying that they knew the truth about Prefect Wei losing the gift bestowed by the emperor, and threatened the Wei family to defect and join Prince Qing’s team.

"That person also said that by then the Meng family will be in the hands of Prince Qing. If I still don't change my bad habits, it will be like digging my own grave.

"It's really too outrageous! I just sent someone to deliver the message to the capital as fast as possible, but... I don't know if the letter can reach the emperor!"

After hearing the whole story, a gleam of light flashed in Meng Hun's eyes.

He first helped Governor Jiang to sit on the armchair, then sat on the other side before he began to express his thoughts.

"Prince Qing has long had the intention of rebelling. He wants to wait for an opportunity to take advantage of the current emperor's poor health and the day when the nine princes compete for the throne, and then rise up. Lin'an City may be the location he has chosen."

"Oh! I know what you are talking about. This is not what I want to discuss with you."

Governor Jiang was so anxious that he slapped his thigh.

"Among the four major families in Lin'an, the Lin family has long been a puppet of Prince Qing. Now my Jiang family and the Wei family are being threatened by Prince Qing. I am really worried!" If Lin'an City falls into the hands of Prince Qing, the Zhou Dynasty's rule over the south will be in jeopardy!
Meng Hui smiled and said calmly: "As long as the Jiang family does not defect, Lin'an City will have no worries."

Seeing him so confident, Governor Jiang's anxiety was reduced a lot, and he couldn't help asking, "Are you sure? Prince Qing's people said that the Meng family is in his pocket."

Governor Jiang was afraid that he could not control the situation.

He didn't dare to conclude whether the Meng family was really taken under the command of Prince Qing as Prince Qing said.

The only thing that is certain is that the Wei family will not compromise easily and will probably hold on for a while longer.

The future changes will depend on the Meng family.

Meng Hun nodded slightly, his eyes showing the indifference of someone who saw through everything.

"My Meng family will not be a traitor's accomplice."

Governor Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and sat there for a long time before gradually regaining his composure.

"Okay, as long as the Meng family holds on, our Lin'an City will not fall."

Meng Hui said 'hmm', "You don't have to worry too much. From what I know about the Wei family, they won't easily submit to Prince Qing."

The old man, Prefect Wei, is very slippery in his work on weekdays. He obviously doesn't do any real work, but it's hard to find any fault with him.

Such people are the smartest. Although Prefect Wei is not a royalist, he is not stupid enough to gamble with the lives of everyone in the prefecture.

"I feel relieved when I hear you say that."

Governor Jiang was completely relieved. He did not ask Prince Qing why he was sure that the Meng Mansion would fall into his hands. He tactfully invited Qing Menghui to drink two cups of tea and then let him go back.

After listening to the story, Shen Jiaojiao frowned her delicate eyebrows, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

"Prince Qing is not dead?"

If he was dead, how could he make such a big move now?
Meng Hun lowered his head, and from his line of sight, he could only see Shen Jiaojiao's slightly trembling red lips.

Obviously very angry.

He quickly pulled her into his arms, his broad chest almost covering her entire body.

"Jiaojiao, don't worry. I will avenge you..."

Shen Jiaojiao sneered, "I didn't expect this old guy to be so lucky."

Poor Murong Zi.

I don't know whether I am alive or dead at this moment...

"Just let the grasshopper jump around for a few more days in autumn," Meng Hun comforted her.

She nodded and said nothing.

Seeing that she was in a low mood, Meng Hun took the initiative to talk about the loss of the imperial gift in the Wei Mansion.

"Do you remember the city-wide curfew?"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded again, "Remember."

"That was when the gift from the Emperor was lost. Wei Lan should have told you about it, right?"

"said."

"Although Prefect Wei went to great lengths to close the city gates, search the entire city, and even had the soldiers at the gates check every step, he still couldn't find the thief, and there was no trace of the gift from the emperor."

"It's been over a month, and you still haven't found it?"

Meng Hui shook his head, "No."

Shen Jiaojiao sighed heavily, worried about the safety of her best friend Wei Lan.

If Prince Qing really reported this matter to the court, the Wei family would certainly not gain any benefit - they would be punished for losing the things bestowed by the emperor.
