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

Chapter 297: Getting into trouble
The three maids lagged behind by about ten steps, maintaining a distance from the young lady and her husband in front.

Ordinary people could not hear the previous conversation, but Yumei had practiced martial arts since she was young and had extraordinary hearing, so she heard every word clearly.

"They are all behind us. Tell me, what happened?" Shen Jiaojiao asked as they walked.

Chen Yuanli looked back at the maids, and after confirming that they had not followed him, he turned back and looked at her deeply.

"Jiaojiao, I agree to divorce Meng Wan. As long as you forgive me and are willing to live a good life with me."

"what?"

She stopped, a bewildered expression on her face, and it took her a while to react.

"No, no... Meng Wan is still pregnant, how can you divorce her? Don't you even want your own flesh and blood?"

What is this man thinking?

He could actually think of such a thing worse than pigs and dogs. Does he really think that they can get back together if he divorces Meng Wan?

"Isn't this what you want?"

Chen Yuanli took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "I have made my choice. What else do you want from me?"

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, "You blame me?"

"I don't blame you. I only blame myself for being short-sighted and misjudging the person!" Chen Yuanli felt uncomfortable and his tone was a little unfriendly.

"Tsk, you also know that you are short-sighted?" She sneered, her face full of frost.

"You don't need to be so sarcastic. If Meng Wan hadn't framed me time and again, why would I hate her so much?

"You feel wronged, but what about me? Do I deserve to be framed by her? Have you ever thought that if I take a wrong step, I will be doomed? No one is qualified to make me forgive her!"

After saying that, she turned around and left.

These words were like a wake-up call, and they woke Chen Yuanli up.

He hurriedly reached out and grabbed Shen Jiaojiao's arm, "I know, I know, I didn't ask you to forgive her, she brought this upon herself, I understand..."

"let go."

The voice was icy cold, just like her eyes.

Chen Yuanli was so frightened by her look that he loosened his grip and dared not to pull anymore.

"Chen Yuanli, if you are not happy about this, just divorce me. Don't be so rude to me. I, Shen Jiaojiao, don't owe you anything!"

After saying this, she left quickly.

The maids following behind saw the two of them parting unhappily, and then saw their young lady running to the front angrily, so they hurried to follow.

Pearl Courtyard, East Wing.

Shen Jiaojiao drank two cups of warm tea, but was still very angry.

Upon seeing this, Ke Ying quickly asked Ke Xin to tell Aoxue to make a bowl of nourishing soup for the purpose of calming the mind and nourishing the qi, so as not to make the young lady angry and get hurt.

Yumei was the only one who heard the whole thing, and she quickly tried to comfort her, "Miss, why bother getting angry with them? They are just some people who need to be punished."

“I am angry at their idea.”

Shen Jiaojiao almost gnashed her teeth, "I was wondering why my stepmother always pities Meng Wan and can't stand me. It turns out it's because I haven't suffered any actual harm!"

"Miss, you must not think like that. You are the bright moon in the sky, the most precious gem in the world. Why do you need to go head-to-head with those rotten stones and stinky shrimps?"

"I just can't understand, do I have to sacrifice my life to gain their sympathy?"

Yumei's face darkened, knowing that she had hit a dead end again. She quickly walked over to her and pulled her to sit on the couch, saying earnestly:
“Excuse me, even if you do this, you won’t get any sympathy from them. They will just say you deserve it.

"Everyone has their own selfish desires, and their selfish desire is Meng Wan. The only person they care about is Meng Wan. How can you hurt yourself for someone who doesn't care about you?

"Doing this will only hurt us who truly love you! Miss, you are not only surrounded by your wife and Chen Yuanli, you also have the young master, the old master, and us..."

After hearing Yumei's heartfelt words, Shen Jiaojiao gradually calmed down.

She stared at Yumei, then turned to look at Keying who was standing beside her with a worried look on her face.

The fire in my heart was extinguished little by little.

"Yeah, why should I compare with her?" She stammered, then threw herself into Yumei's arms and burst into tears.

She swore that this would be the last time she would suffer because of her stepmother. From now on, she would never shed a tear for those who didn't care about her!

Yumei coaxed her patiently until she was exhausted from crying and fell asleep, then she carried her to the bed in the inner room.

When he came out, Keying and others were guarding the door.

Aoxue also had a food box on her arm.

Yumei nodded to the others and said, "He fell asleep."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed out, instructing the maid to keep a close eye on the door and not let anyone disturb the young lady.

When they returned to the servants' room, Yumei solemnly warned, "From now on, you are not allowed to let Chen Yuanli act unruly in front of the young lady again."

Ke Ying hesitated, "But Master..."

"You are all the maids that the young lady trusts the most, so you should know the relationship between the young lady and Chen Yuanli. Moreover, he and the lady are birds of a feather, and he only has eyes for Meng Wan. Why do you still recognize this son-in-law?"

She would rather say that the young master is your brother-in-law.

But considering that it would be unpleasant to say such things, I had to give up.

Ke Xin's mind worked the fastest and she always listened to her own mistress. Now after hearing what Yu Mei said, she felt that it made sense.

"Sister Yumei is right. I'm going to chase Chen Yuanli away."

He walked so fast that he didn't even call me son-in-law.

Yumei was nodding halfway when she realized something was wrong.

"Shoo him away? He's outside?"

"Yes, he caught up with us not long after we came back. But Sister Ying asked the servant to stop him outside the courtyard, and he is probably still waiting now."

Yumei thought for a moment and said, "Let him wait."

……

Shen Jiaojiao slept for an hour and missed lunch when she woke up.

Keying brought her some light porridge and side dishes, as well as a bowl of nourishing soup that Aoxue had painstakingly simmered for several hours.

"Miss, can you eat something to fill your stomach first?"

"Great!" She smiled and praised Ke Ying for her thoughtfulness, and never mentioned the hot spring villa.

After a simple meal, Keying told her that Chen Yuanli had been standing outside for an hour.

"Let him in." Shen Jiaojiao said.

When Chen Yuanli walked into the main room, he was shivering from the cold, his lips were slightly black, and frost was even coming out of his body as he entered the room.

She ignored it and pointed to the location farthest from her.

"sit down."

"..." The man had a stiff face. He was angry but dared not say anything. He sat down holding his breath.

Seeing him looking up from time to time and looking at her resentfully, Shen Jiaojiao suddenly felt amused.

"Why don't you go find your Wan'er? Who are you standing outside dancing for? Or do you think I'll feel bad?"

"Jiaojiao, I never thought like this..."

"Okay, you don't have to say that." She waved her hand helplessly, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Chen Yuanli raised his head and looked at Keying.

"Don't look at her, she won't go down. I don't want to be kidnapped for the second time." Shen Jiaojiao said.

Hearing this, Chen Yuanli lowered his head in embarrassment and did not dare to make any other requests.

"Jiaojiao, I want to take you to the capital." He expressed his thoughts.

Shen Jiaojiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said coldly, "No."

No wonder her maid was sent away.

If his brother heard this, he would probably throw the man into the garden lake and drown him.
