Chapter 307 Listen to the corner

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Master Meng raised his hand and flicked Shen Jiaojiao's forehead. "Godfather is naturally on your side."

Having said that, he led her back to the main room and sat her down.

She sat down obediently and looked up at the other person, "Then why did you accompany him to humiliate me?"

"I didn't know he was here to do this."

Mr. Meng lowered his head to avoid the gaze of his adopted daughter, feeling a little uneasy.

Soon, she learned from Master Meng why he came to Mingzhu Courtyard so late at night——

Earlier, Master Meng was invited by Prefect Wei to meet secretly at Mengxianju. Master Meng came here after hearing from the servant sent by Chen Yuanli that Meng Hun was in Mingzhuyuan.

Mr. Meng wanted to tell Meng Hun the news leaked by Prefect Wei as soon as possible.

"Wait! Are you saying that Chen Yuanli used his sworn brother as an excuse?" Shen Jiaojiao's eyebrows jumped and her body instantly became stiff.

Chen Yuanli was not a fool. He knew clearly the consequences of deceiving his adoptive father.

In other words, he really saw his sworn brother coming to Mingzhu Courtyard!
that……

Her heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat, and goose bumps appeared all over her body.

Why did Chen Yuanli suddenly propose to consummate the marriage?
Was it really just to tie her down? Or... was he testing her relationship with her brother?!
"Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao?" Master Meng raised his hand and waved it in front of her. "Why did this child suddenly lose focus? Did you hear me?"

Shen Jiaojiao raised her hand and pressed her temple, putting aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind and forcing a smile.

"Godfather, what did you just say?"

Mr. Meng patiently repeated what he had just said.

"I said, when I arrived at Mingzhu Courtyard, I saw Yuan Li standing at the door, being stopped outside by a servant. Yuan Li said Ah Hui was inside Mingzhu Courtyard, so why didn't they let him in?"

Hearing this, she was shocked and concluded that Chen Yuanli must have guessed something.

She didn't dare tell the truth to her adoptive father and insisted that Meng Hun was not in Mingzhu Courtyard.

"That was Chen Yuanli's excuse to deceive you. My brother is not here with me."

Master Meng nodded. "Your gatekeeper said the same thing, but Yuan Li refused to give in... I was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so I asked the gatekeeper to report it."

As he said this, he looked at her sincerely and apologized.

"Jiaojiao, it's my godfather's fault for bringing Chen Yuanli in. Don't be angry."

Shen Jiaojiao turned her face away and said unnaturally: "You are the elder, how can you apologize to the younger generation? I am not angry, please rest assured."

"He said he wasn't angry, but he refused to look at me."

She turned her head helplessly, "Okay, I'm looking at you, you're not angry anymore, right?"

"I'm not angry anymore." Master Meng was amused by her and looked at her kindly. "You didn't want to divorce Yuan Li before, what about now?"

Mr. Meng brought his wife and children to settle down in Lin'an, a place where they had no roots. Having experienced many ups and downs before, how could he not see through his adopted daughter's thoughts?
Add to that the commotion caused by last night's meal - the adopted daughter obviously doesn't want to live with her son-in-law anymore, so it might not be a bad idea to part ways amicably.

She said 'hmm', her tone firm.

"I want to make peace."

"Okay, godfather will make the decision for you."

"No need. Chen Yuanli will soon take the initiative to ask for a divorce from me. By then, Jiaojiao hopes that you will agree to it on my behalf no matter what."

A trace of surprise flashed across Master Meng's eyes. "I don't think Yuan Li wants to divorce you. He even wants to divorce Meng Wan to please you."

"Godfather, you'll know when the time comes." Shen Jiaojiao kept it a secret.

Mr. Meng nodded and asked no more questions.

The father and daughter chatted for a few more words, and then they heard Ke Xin saying outside that Madam Meng had arrived.

"Look, Stepmother Meng is here to take you back again." She winked at Master Meng mischievously and joked, "Maybe there's a vixen hiding in my yard."

As he spoke, he nodded to Keying who was standing beside him.

Ke Ying understood and immediately went out to greet Mrs. Meng.

Hearing the words "Meng's adopted mother", Mr. Meng was stunned at first, and his smile froze slightly, knowing that his adopted daughter had taken yesterday's incident to heart. Now was not the time to talk, so he had to suppress his worries and glared at Shen Jiaojiao in an angry manner.

"Don't let your stepmother hear you, just keep talking nonsense." He raised his chin towards the west wing and asked, "How is your Aunt Ning now?"

"I'm fine." Her eyes lit up, and as she answered, she looked at Master Meng calmly, trying to read something from the man's face.

This time, she saw it clearly—there was pure worry on her adoptive father's face, without any pity or admiration.

It seems that she guessed wrong. There is no romantic relationship between Aunt Ning and her adoptive father.

As she was speaking, Keying brought Madam Meng in.

Madam Meng stood far away at the door, her eyes only on Master Meng, "Master, it's late, you've been tired all day, I'll go back with you to rest."

Without waiting for Master Meng to urge her, Shen Jiaojiao stood up and saluted the visitor, "Mother Meng."

Mrs. Meng raised her chin slightly, put on the airs of an elder, and said "hmm" softly, not wanting to show timidity in front of her adopted daughter.

Mr. Meng laughed dryly, trying to ease the atmosphere, "Madam is here, please sit for a while..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Madam Meng.

"Master, it's late, please go back with me."

Shen Jiaojiao turned to look at Master Meng and advised, "Yes, godfather, you should go back and rest. Jiaojiao also needs to go to bed."

Mr. Meng was at a loss for words, and before he could even say a few words to comfort his adopted daughter, he was pulled away by Mrs. Meng.

After everyone left, she fell back and slumped in the armchair, feeling powerless.

Finally sent the person away... No!
Foster brother!

Just as she was thinking of someone in the east wing, the other person suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Jiaojiao's Mingzhu Courtyard is so lively." Meng Hun walked over to sit beside her and poured her another cup of warm tea.

She quickly propped herself up and sat up straight.

"Brother, Chen Yuanli seems to have noticed that you came to my place!"

"Oh, if he finds out, he won't tell anyone." The man shrugged and handed the teacup to her. "Your hands are so cold, and you don't even know how to warm them up."

Seeing that he was still thinking about whether his hands were cold or not at this time, Shen Jiaojiao became furious.

"What do you mean you don't dare to say it? What if?"

Meng Hun waved his hand indifferently, "He still relies on the money from the Meng family, so he really doesn't dare to say it. Besides... didn't you just promise dad that you wanted a divorce?"

The man smiled like a cat that had stolen some fish.

Her eyes widened, "You eavesdropped!"

"So what?"

"Meng Hui! You, you, you... you are such an eavesdropper!"

"You guys were talking too loudly."

Meng Hun had no intention of repenting at all, and even revealed the conversation he had heard between Chen Yuanli and her.

"If I hadn't listened, I wouldn't have known that Chen Yuanli actually had such dirty thoughts."

Seeing the frost in his eyes, Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Don't mess around, I still have plans to implement!"

Meng Hun raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'd like to hear the details."

"I am setting up a trap to force Meng Wan to take action. Then no one will be able to protect her."

"If you want to deal with her, why not just find someone to check her pulse? Why make it so complicated?"

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed, and she said in a deep voice, "I'm going to use an open strategy to make her lose clearly."

She disdains to engage in conspiracy and is unwilling to lower herself to Meng Wan's level and become a despicable villain.

Just wait for Meng Wan to jump in and dig his own grave!
