Chapter 308 Abnormality
Early in the morning, Shen Jiaojiao was awakened by the hustle and bustle outside.

She subconsciously reached behind her.

Get it cold.

Apparently, the man who was lying behind her and hugging her last night left early.

The charming scene of last night gradually emerged in her mind. At that time, she was concerned about Aunt Ning in the west wing, so she didn't dare to say a word, but it made the man even more presumptuous...

The more she thought about it, the redder her face became. She could no longer lie down, so she threw off the quilt and sat up.

"Hiss..." She paused, holding her lower back and taking a breath, "If I ask you to come in again tonight, I won't call you Shen Jiaojiao anymore!"

After fighting all night, her back and waist ached.

Keying, who was outside, heard the noise and quickly opened the curtain and walked in.

"Miss, you are awake."

Having said that, he ran to open the window out of habit.

The howling cold wind rushed in through the window gaps, carrying away the shameful smell, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply.

Shen Jiaojiao hid her head in the quilt, leaving only a pair of big round eyes looking at Keying.

"What's going on outside? There's so much noise so early in the morning. Is there something wrong?"

"Oh, did you wake the young lady?" Ke Ying came over with a basin of water, wrung out a face towel and handed it over while explaining, "The eldest young master suddenly said he wanted to go to the hot spring villa, and asked us to hurry up and pack."

"What?!" She widened her eyes in surprise.

Didn’t you say last night that you wanted to keep the secret of Mr. Qian’s going north?
If we go to the other courtyard now with great fanfare, and Prince Qing finds out that Old Qian is not in Meng's house...

"The young master sent someone to tell me this morning that you have agreed." Seeing her strange expression, Ke Ying also frowned, "Miss, you don't want to go?"

She remembered that her young lady wanted to go out and relax.

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head. "That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask if everyone in the mansion is going."

“Everyone is going.”

"Chen Yuanli and Meng Wan are going too?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I understand."

She reached out and took the towel from Keying's hand and wiped her cheek carefully.

Perhaps my brother wanted to take the opportunity to confuse King Qing, forcing him to send half of his men to go to the hot spring villa to slow down his pace.

After washing up, Shen Jiaojiao sat down in front of the dressing table.

Ke Ying picked up the wooden comb and combed her hair.

Looking at the rosy-faced girl in the mirror, she blinked quickly, then lowered her eyelids guiltily, not daring to look again.

As if she had noticed her young lady's embarrassment, Keying took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Miss, after Chen Yuanli was driven out last night, he stood at the gate of the courtyard for a long time. I heard from the servant that he seemed a little angry and kept staring at the direction of the east wing fiercely."

Shen Jiaojiao hummed, "Tell the servants to be careful these days and don't let him sneak in."

"Yes." Keying nodded.

"By the way, Chen Yuanli seemed to have seen my brother..." She paused, lowered her head, and spoke a little softer, "He saw my brother coming to Mingzhu Courtyard."

"What if she saw it?" Ke Ying asked back.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something but stopped herself, her cheeks gradually turning red.

Seeing her like this, Ke Ying understood and comforted her with a smile, "Miss, you are in a confused situation. How dare Chen Yuanli act rashly? Don't worry."

Just as Meng Hun said, Chen Yuanli wanted to become a high-ranking official and wanted to climb up the social ladder, so his career depended on the Meng family. How could he bear to give up such a good opportunity?

In Keying's opinion, even if her young lady and the eldest young master were intimate in front of her brother-in-law, her brother-in-law could not say a word of "no".

Who asked Chen Yuanli to be unfair to the young lady first?

As the young lady's maid, she naturally stood on the young lady's side and had no good feelings towards her son-in-law.

"How can I be at ease? What if he spreads nonsense and lets my foster father and the others know about this..."

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head, her face full of bitterness.

If her adoptive father knew that she was married to Chen Yuanli and was involved with her adoptive brother, he would definitely be very angry.

She didn't want to be scolded by her adoptive father for being shameless. "The eldest master will definitely find a way, don't worry young lady." Ke Ying comforted her.

She nodded silently and said no more.

After she had dressed up and changed into thick clothes, she walked out of the east wing.

It was a sunny day outside. The long-lost sunshine poured down, making people feel warm.

The snow in the yard had been cleared long ago, and the road was much wider.

The servants and maids were carrying things in and out, and when they saw her come out, they hurriedly stopped what they were doing.

"Miss." Everyone knelt and saluted.

Shen Jiaojiao waved her hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, "You guys are busy."

The servants all responded and continued to work.

Keying pointed in the direction of the west wing and motioned her to look over there.

"Miss, Aunt Ning said that the Meng family went to the hot spring villa to avoid the cold, so it's not convenient to go with them, so she asked the maid to help pack up and go home."

She raised her eyes and looked towards the west wing opposite, and indeed saw a little maid tidying up inside.

Thinking back to last night's test, my godfather really had no personal feelings for Aunt Ning, and Aunt Ning seemed unwilling to have anything to do with my godfather.

She couldn't help but suspect that she had guessed wrong.

But why is my stepmother so wary of Aunt Ning?

Tell her directly that there must be something else going on, but she doesn't know who to ask - it has been more than ten years since then, where can she find someone who knows the inside story?
"It's better to go back, so I don't have to be forced by Meng Wan to take care of her."

As she was talking, Shen Jiaojiao suddenly thought of the old housekeeper in the front yard, and she immediately had an idea in her mind.

She leaned close to Ke Ying's ear and whispered, "When you have time, go find the old housekeeper and ask him about my stepfather's concubine. Remember to avoid my stepmother's eyes."

Ke Ying nodded without any hesitation.

The master and servant came to the west wing with normal expressions and chatted with Aunt Ning.

Shen Jiaojiao personally sent the person to the front yard and bid farewell to Aunt Ning, while Ke Ying sneaked away to ask the old housekeeper questions.

When she returned to Mingzhu Courtyard again, before she had the chance to ask Keying what she had talked about with the old housekeeper, Master Meng sent someone to invite her to the main courtyard.

On the way, the servant recounted the farce that had taken place in the main courtyard.

"The son-in-law came into the mansion early in the morning and knelt at the gate of the main courtyard and refused to leave. After the master and his wife woke up, they invited people into the house. The son-in-law opened his mouth to divorce the second young lady and begged the master and his wife to grant it. The lady fainted from anger. The master could not do anything about the son-in-law, so he sent me to invite you."

"Really?" Shen Jiaojiao widened her eyes.

Hiss, this is not right!

From Chen Yuanli's abnormal behavior last night, it was obvious that he had discovered that she had a close relationship with her sworn brother. Why did he take the initiative to divorce Meng Wan?

Do you really think she will change her mind without Meng Wan?
Or... this man is planning something.

"In reply to the eldest lady, I did hear the son-in-law say that he wanted to divorce the second lady."

She nodded, "I understand."

When they arrived at the main courtyard, the gatekeeper saw that it was her and immediately let her in.

We walked all the way to the lobby of the main courtyard without any obstruction.

At a glance, she saw Chen Yuanli kneeling in the hall and her adoptive father sitting at the top holding a teacup.

"Jiaojiao is here!" Master Meng's eyes lit up and he walked over quickly, "Quickly persuade Yuanli. I don't know why this kid is crazy. He insists on divorcing Wan'er!"

"Maybe Meng Wan has done too many evil things."

"Ouch! Is now the time to talk about this?"

Mr. Meng was so angry that he pinched his adopted daughter's arm and kept winking at her.

Once Chen Yuanli divorced Meng Wan, he would definitely rely on her. Chen Yuanli was not a fool, so he had to keep one of the fish and the bear's paw, right?

By then, how easy would it be for her to get a divorce?

Shen Jiaojiao didn't think so. She patted her adoptive father's hand and signaled him to be patient.

Under the gaze of everyone, she walked straight to the kneeling Chen Yuanli and looked down at the man condescendingly.

"Chen Yuanli, are you sure you want to divorce Meng Wan?"
