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

Chapter 314 Reputation
Eight carriages slowly drove out of the Meng Mansion. The first two were luxuriously decorated and belonged to the master of the Meng family. The six at the back were for servants and other belongings.

The people of Lin'an City stopped what they were doing and saluted.

Those who were interested in gossiping started gossiping in low voices.

"Look, the Meng family has gone to the other courtyard to avoid the cold again."

"It's snowing so heavily these days, and they still go to the suburbs. Aren't they afraid that their houses will collapse under the snow?"

"How could that be? They are all brick and tile houses. How can they be compared to those thatched houses in the suburbs?"

"Bah! The rich are feasting on wine and meat, and the streets are stinking!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed slightly, and they all moved aside, surrounding the man who despised the Meng family.

The horse-faced man took a step back in fear, and asked back with all his might, "What are you doing? Why are you staring at me like that? Am I wrong? Even if the Meng family has money, they won't help the villagers!"

Everyone looked at him and saw that he was wearing tattered clothes. They thought he was a refugee from a snowstorm and immediately lost interest in arguing with him.

A woman holding a child came forward to persuade him, "Brother, I see that you are not young anymore, you should understand some truths. Do you know how much the Meng family contributed to this snowstorm and plague? To be honest, my child's life was saved by the quilts distributed by the Meng family!"

"Yes, Lin'an has never had such heavy snow. We can't enjoy the benefits of the Meng family and then turn around and scold them. What's the difference between this and putting down the bowl and cursing your mother?" An old man responded.

"I was infected with the plague and thought I was going to die, but after drinking the medicine distributed by the Meng family, I came back to life and nothing happened to me at all!"

"Yeah yeah……"

Everyone praised what the Meng family had done.

The horse-faced man snorted coldly and said loudly: "We have all been deceived by them! It was the Meng family who first hoarded medicinal herbs and quilts, causing us ordinary people to be unable to buy cheap medicinal herbs and quilts to keep warm. They drove up the prices, it was..."

Before he could finish his words, a burly man grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up.

The sturdy man raised his huge fist and glared at him fiercely.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you to death!"

The horse-faced man shrank his head in fear and dared not say a word.

At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"That horse-faced man is a bad guy. He wears tattered clothes but his hair is neatly tied up. He must want to hurt the Meng family!"

Everyone looked up at the horse-faced man's hairstyle, which was indeed very well done - if he was really a refugee, his hair would definitely be like a chicken coop.

"This person wants to destroy the reputation of the Meng family!"

Everyone finally reacted and gritted their teeth in anger. They rushed forward and tore off the clothes of the horse-faced man. Some people even punched him several times.

……

Yuzhu told this little episode to Shen Jiaojiao as a joke.

Hearing that the horse-faced man had been stripped of all his warm clothes and was running away with his bare bottom, several maids couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Shen Jiaojiao also curled her lips, "It seems that someone can't stand seeing the Meng family doing well."

"Thanks to the eldest young master's thoughtfulness, he sent people to publicize the good deeds done by our Meng family in the city early on. Everyone in the city knows about it, and no one can discredit the Meng family no matter who comes." Yuzhu said.

She nodded, "The one who discovered the man's neat hair was arranged by my brother, right?"

My brother has always been cautious and thoughtful in his actions, and he will definitely not let the Meng family fall into danger.

"Young Master, why would you care about these things? It was the hidden guard who couldn't stand it anymore, so he shouted in the crowd."

"I see."

"Miss, this trip to the villa is full of dangers." Yuzhu sat next to Shen Jiaojiao and held her hand. "The young master asked me to remind you to be extremely careful and never leave anyone alone."

Yumei, who was sitting in the corner with her eyes closed, also opened her eyes. "I will follow the young lady and won't let her out of my sight."

Seeing that Yuzhu and Yumei were being careful, Ke Xin, Keying and Aoxue looked at each other, put away their smiles, and their faces turned slightly pale.

Didn’t the young lady go to the villa to relax?
Why is there danger suddenly again?
Ke Xin couldn't keep her words to herself, so she asked immediately, "Sister Yuzhu, do you mean that it's dangerous for the young lady to go to the other courtyard?"

Yuzhu nodded solemnly, "Yes, it is very dangerous, so you all must stay with the young lady at all times."

"Where does the danger come from?" Ke Ying asked.

Yuzhu glanced at her, then looked around, knowing that those sitting here were the eldest lady's trusted maids, so she did not hide it.

"King Qing."

The short words "Prince Qing" frightened the three maids so much that their scalps went numb.

Last time, Prince Qing kidnapped the young lady without anyone noticing, which made them frightened for two days. Now he wants to attack the young lady again?

"Okay, Sister Yuzhu, please don't scare them. They are timid and can't stand being scared." Shen Jiaojiao shook her head and laughed, looking at the maids, "You don't have to worry too much, my brother will send secret guards to protect me."

Ke Ying sighed, "Miss, you won't tell us anything."

"Let's make a secret code!" Ke Xin suddenly came up with such a weird idea.

Everyone was confused at first, but soon figured out why Ke Xin said that -

She was afraid that there was another expert in disguise around Prince Qing.

"Okay, just in case." Yumei agreed with Kexin's suggestion.

Without waiting for Shen Jiaojiao to say anything, several maids decided on the secret code in a few words.

"Miss, you must remember that the first thing we ask you when we see you is 'Are you cold?' If one day you find someone who doesn't ask, arrest her immediately." Ke Xin said seriously.

"Is it cold?" was the least suspicious code they had come up with.

"Got it." Shen Jiaojiao agreed.

Although it felt a little funny, how could she bear to refuse?

Come to think of it, this is all for her own good!
More than an hour's journey passed in the blink of an eye.

It was Yumei who reacted first and reminded everyone that the carriage had stopped and must have arrived at the hot spring villa.

Ke Xin immediately packed up the eight-treasure box, teacups, teapots and other items, while Keying began to help her young lady dress.

Aoxue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reached out and tugged at Shen Jiaojiao's sleeve.

"Miss, these are all for you."

As he spoke, several white porcelain bottles were handed over.

Shen Jiaojiao could tell at a glance that these white porcelain bottles were exactly the same as the ones Aoxue had given her a long time ago.

Almost instantly, she guessed what was in the porcelain bottle.

"poison?"

Aoxue nodded, and took out a green-patterned porcelain bottle from her bosom, "Here are detoxification pills. If you are in danger, take a detoxification pill first, then open a white porcelain bottle and sprinkle it at the bad guys."

As he spoke, Aoxue opened one of the white porcelain bottles and showed her the medicinal powder inside.

"It's all powder, it's easy to spill."

Several maids turned their heads to look over and praised this self-defense method as an excellent one.

With it, the lady's safety is better guaranteed.
