Chapter 302 Emergency

Mo Wei pursed her lips, looked at her young lady seriously, and said nothing.

Shen Jiaojiao's scalp felt tingling from being stared at, and her heart was beating fast.

Could it be that... my adoptive father really framed General Shen?
"You tell me, I can bear it."

As she spoke, she swallowed hard.

Mo Wei smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Miss, you are really trapped. If we had known this, we should not have contacted you in the first place...

"Forget it, there's no point in saying this now. Don't worry, we haven't found any evidence yet. However, I told my father that you couldn't find any evidence in the main courtyard.

"He sent a letter insisting that Master Meng was the real murderer who framed General Shen. He hopes that you can go to Qinghui Courtyard to look for evidence. Qinghui Courtyard is the only place in the entire Meng Mansion that has not been searched."

After listening to Mo Wei's explanation, Shen Jiaojiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew! As long as he's not my godfather!

But... asking her to search Qinghuiyuan is a bit difficult.

"Why Qinghui Court? My brother was just a child back then, how could he do something as complicated as framing my father?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

Mo Wei shook his head, "Miss, you misunderstood. We don't think it was Meng Hui who framed General Shen. My father said that maybe Master Meng placed the evidence in the youngest son's courtyard."

"why?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. No one would suspect that a child's yard contains evidence of a crime. In this way, the evidence can be perfectly hidden."

Shen Jiaojiao held her forehead helplessly.

She had ordered people to search the entire Meng Mansion, including the main courtyard, and all the books in the study.

There is no evidence, and now they say it must be with my brother...

Why do you have to be obsessed with the Meng Mansion?

She absolutely trusted Mo Qian's loyalty. After all, he even gave her the jade pendant that could command the Shen family army.

But why did Mo Qian keep harping on Master Meng?
In front of Mo Wei, Shen Jiaojiao did not express her doubts, but nodded and agreed to it.

As long as Qinghuiyuan can't find any evidence of guilt, Mo Qian should have nothing to say.

"By the way, what is your father's current situation? You just said that he went to Beijing. What's going on?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"My father is doing well now, young lady, don't worry. He sends us news every three days. As for his trip to the capital..."

Mo Wei looked hesitant, as if there was something difficult to say that he didn't want to tell her.

Seeing Mo Wei's expression, she considerately gave him a way out.

"If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it."

"It's not inconvenient." Mo Wei took a deep breath and made up his mind to tell her the truth.

It turned out that Mo Qian had already been to the Western Regions.

He confirmed there that the people from the Western Regions that Meng Wan had contacted at the beginning were indeed sent by the Western Regions royal family, so this line was correct.

Continuing his investigation, Mo Qian also found the Great Zhou royal family, but he is not sure who is colluding with the Western Region royal family.

The strange thing is that this line is very easy to track down. Every time Mo Qian loses track of his target, a new clue will appear, as if someone deliberately sent the clue to him.

What surprised Mo Qian even more was that not long after he arrived in the capital, the city suddenly became heavily guarded. There were many more soldiers patrolling the streets, and some even came to check the rooms.

If it weren't for the sudden plague that swept across the capital, Mo Qian might have been captured.

Shen Jiaojiao frowned and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with saying this?"

Mo Wei looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly, you're really making me anxious to death." She grabbed Mo Wei's arm and shook it gently, feeling itchy.

Mo Wei lowered her eyelids to hide the pain in her eyes, but tears still rolled down from the corners of her eyes, dripping onto her clothes.

"My father...also contracted the plague."

"What?!" Shen Jiaojiao jumped up from the chair, pinched Mo Wei's shoulders tightly, her face full of disbelief.

"How is this possible! Uncle Mo... Uncle Mo is strong, how could it be..."

The more she spoke, the more anxious she became, and her eyes became red.

Thinking of the bandits who came back with Shen Dalu, some of them were infected with the plague and died soon after...

Her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly let go of his hand.

"Ke Xin! Ke Xin!" She ran quickly outside, calling Ke Xin who was guarding the door as she ran.

The door was pushed open with a clang.

Ke Xin rushed in from outside and responded loudly: "I'm here! Don't worry, miss, I'll be right there!"

The two met in the outer room of the east wing.

Seeing her young lady's eyes were red and tears were falling like money, Ke Xin hurriedly grabbed her arm and asked anxiously, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Call Aoxue! Quick! Go call Aoxue!"

As she spoke, she raised her sleeve and wiped her face roughly, wiping away all the tears.

Ke Xin nodded vigorously, "Hey! I'll go right away, Miss, don't worry, don't worry!"

Before turning around and leaving, Ke Xin looked up into the room, wanting to see Mo Wei inside.

Unfortunately, the inner and outer rooms are separated by a curtain.

Mo Wei was sitting inside again, so Ke Xin couldn't see anything at all.

After everyone left, Shen Jiaojiao supported herself on the wall with one hand, her legs so weak that she could hardly stand.

Mo Qian is her father's right-hand man, and the two must have a very good relationship, otherwise he would not have been trying to help the Shen family overturn the case for more than ten years.

During the year she had been with Mo Qian, she had always treated him as an elder.

Now that she knew Mo Qian was suffering from the plague, she felt even more guilty.

If Mo Qian gets into trouble because of helping her investigate Meng Wan...

How could she forgive herself?
Mo Wei came to his senses, walked quickly to the outside, and supported her as she was about to fall.

"Miss, please don't worry." Mo Wei suppressed her grief and comforted Shen Jiaojiao, "My father is strong and will be fine."

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head, her face full of guilt, "It's all my fault..."

If it weren't for her, how could Mo Qian be discovered by his sworn brother? And how could he be forced to leave Lin'an City by his sworn brother's men?
No matter how wrong it is, it's all her fault...

"Miss, you are talking nonsense again!"

Mo Wei helped her onto the small couch, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her tears.

"It was my father's fate to be infected with the plague, so I can't blame anyone else. Besides, Sister Aoxue gave me a prescription for keeping warm before, and I sent a copy to my father. He should be fully prepared."

Hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao looked up in surprise, "Really?!"

"It's absolutely true. Why would I lie to you about such an important matter?"

"That's good……"

She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly remembered that the bandits brought by Shen Dalu had also used the drug, but still died in the end.

Will Uncle Mo also be so unlucky?
Thinking of this, Shen Jiaojiao's heart began to tremble and her fingertips couldn't stop shaking.

"Miss! Aoxue is here!"

Ke Xin pulled Aoxue across the yard, waded through the knee-deep snow, and rushed over.

When the two arrived, their shoes were filled with snow.

Mo Wei turned around and saw that the two men's trouser legs were covered with snow. He glanced outside again and saw obvious footprints on the snow. He became so angry that his face turned red.

"Aren't you kidding me?!"
