Chapter 32 My uncle is here (additional update)
Go in, go in?
Shen Jiaojiao looked at the courtyard door hesitantly, then glanced at the boy guarding the door, and lowered her head shyly.

"No, I still won't go in." She shook her head and rejected Yuzhu's invitation.

Yuzhu did not force her, but said "Wait a moment" and quickly walked into Qinghui Courtyard.

She responded softly, stood at the door, and carefully looked inside.

Entering from the courtyard gate is a path that leads directly to the main house, with a study on the side.

She couldn't control her gaze and moved to the side of the study, landing firmly on the window frame.

In the small window, there is a tall and straight man framed.

The man's back was facing her, and his black robe made him stand as tall as a pine tree.

From Shen Jiaojiao's angle, she could just see the chiseled side face, but unfortunately the upper part was obscured by the window frame.

"Miss, what are you looking at? Do you want to go in to find the young master?" The boy on the side smiled and narrowed his eyes. "You can just go in."

Shen Jiaojiao was startled and quickly looked away, her face slightly unnatural, "I didn't see anything, and I won't go in."

As she spoke, she kept twirling her fingers and looking around in panic, trying to cover up her previous behavior.

"Why don't you come in?" The boy looked up at her, "I heard from my mother that you used to like playing with the young master the most. Why don't you look for the young master now?"

As he said that, he scratched his hair in distress, "Hey, the young master is a very nice person. Why don't you play with the young master anymore?"

"...Your mother said?" Shen Jiaojiao felt a little tired.

The child in front of her looked to be less than six years old, and her gums were missing three teeth when she grinned. He actually dared to ask her such a vicious question as "Why didn't you find the young master?"

No, why does everyone think her adopted brother is kind to her? Yuzhu said so, and the child’s mother also said so…

But the sworn brother clearly treated her harshly, and when he saw her, he would become sullen without even a hint of a smile.

The child couldn't understand her expression. When she heard her ask, she nodded seriously, "Yes, my mother said so."

She half-bent down to be eye level with the boy, and asked softly: "Who is your mother?"

The child had only met Shen Jiaojiao a few times from a distance. It was the first time he chatted with her. Seeing how friendly she was, he couldn't help but smile.

"My mother is Aunt Wu, the cook in the big kitchen. My mother's cooking is delicious. Please try it next time."

"Pfft!" Yuzhu's laughter came from inside, and he slapped him on the forehead, "Datou, do you want your life? How dare you talk to the eldest lady like this."

Datou shrank his head, "Sister Yuzhu..."

This kid is actually more afraid of Yuzhu than of her?

Shen Jiaojiao's face was filled with surprise. She pointed at the big head and then at herself, "He? So young?"

The implication is, has Qinghui Court fallen into such a state of decline? You actually let a child guard the door?

"Don't think blindly, it's nothing." Yuzhu understood her eyes and explained patiently, "I went to ask, and he said that his brother asked him to take a temporary job, and he hasn't learned the rules yet."

"Oh." She nodded in understanding.

Yuzhu glanced at her, "Look, even a six-year-old child knows that the young master is good to you, but you are so afraid of him that you don't even dare to enter."

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said nothing.

When she came to Qinghui Courtyard again, she was very brave even if her calves weren't trembling!
If it weren't for the tea, she wouldn't have come at all.

When Yuzhu saw that she was silent, he sighed and put the small jar in her hand into her hand.

"Take it, it's inside."

"Thank you, sister Yuzhu." Shen Jiaojiao thanked her and prepared to leave.

"Hey, the medicine in the tea is weird and can't be found out easily. The young master also has a headache, so he only gave you half of it." Yuzhu called her and reminded her seriously, "Be careful and don't check randomly. If you need help, Feel free to come to me.”

"Okay." She nodded, smiled gratefully at Yuzhu, and left again.

Yuzhu couldn't let go and simply sent her back to Mingzhuyuan.

Returning to her own yard, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, leaning on the couch like a bone.

Hearing Keying say that the main courtyard had already dispersed, Mrs. Jiang wanted to come and say goodbye to her, but was afraid of being too conspicuous, so she asked Keying to say a word to her.

Shen Jiaojiao nodded and waved away everyone, planning to stay alone for a while.

Kexin walked in hurriedly.

She looked over with a grimace, "Good news or bad news?" Kexin also had a grimace, "My uncle is here."

The master and servant looked at each other and sighed together.

"Where is he?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"I'm in the main house, and I brought some snacks back."

She pursed her lips and stood up as if resigned to her fate, "That's it, I'll be there right away."

It would be better to meet at the main house.

She didn't want Chen Yuanli to enter the east chamber.

As soon as she walked out of the door of the east wing, she saw a man walking towards her, looking like he came specifically to see her.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to let him in. She looked around Chen Yuanli and quickly found the topic.

"Yuanli, Kexin said you brought me a surprise, where is it?"

Chen Yuanli was about to hold her hand, but when he heard her question, he immediately turned around and pointed towards the main house, "I forgot it in the main house."

She curled her lips and said, "Why don't you bring the surprise you specially gave me in front of me?" Then she put on a smile and said, "What is it? Let's go over quickly and take a look."

"Come on, I'll take you to see it."

The two returned to the main room and sat on the upper floor, one on the left and the other on the right.

Chen Yuanli offered the snacks as if he were offering a treasure.

Shen Jiaojiao was surprised to find that for the first time, he actually bought Li Fuji's cakes.

This dim sum shop is notoriously hard to find.

"It's your favorite Li Fu Ji," he said.

"Thank you Yuan Li for taking the trouble." She looked touched, "Don't buy it next time. You'll have to wait in line for a long time, right? Don't delay your studies."

Chen Yuanli smiled and coaxed her softly, "Jiaojiao loves to eat. She will buy it no matter how difficult it is."

Shen Jiaojiao snorted in her heart. She had never tasted the snacks bought by Chen Yuanli since she came back from fighting Meng Wan. How could this man say these words with such shame?
She knew very well that Chen Yuanli was doing it for her sworn brother, so she simply left the meal for dinner, and deliberately asked Keying to put the meal on the big table in the flower hall.

Chen Yuanli felt comfortable and thought that this was a sign of importance to him.

In fact, she just wanted to put some distance between them.

After dinner, Chen Yuanli offered to accompany her for a walk in the small garden, but she shook her head and refused.

Acting also depends on time.

It was time for Meng Wan to arrive now, and she couldn't let anyone miss her.

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them walked back to the main room from the flower hall, before they could sit down, Meng Wan burst in like a storm.

"You are indeed here!" Meng Wan rushed over, suppressing the rage in her heart, and asked forcefully, "Husband, why don't you go back to Hanlianyuan after class? I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I haven't even eaten..."

As he spoke, tears fell, and his expression changed from cold and hard at first to aggrieved and delicate.

"If you want to accompany your sister, you should ask someone to come and tell me. I have been waiting for you..."

Chen Yuanli liked this the most, so he quickly took two steps forward and hugged the person into his arms.

"Wan'er, why are you so stupid?" He hugged Meng Wan and cast a comforting look at Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao almost laughed angrily.

What a shameless thing.

Holding the little one in your arms and comforting the older one with your eyes?
"Go back and have dinner with me, okay?" Meng Wan buried her head in Chen Yuanli's arms and nuzzled her, completely unaware of the dispute between him and Shen Jiaojiao.

"But..." Chen Yuanli looked embarrassed.

Just when Shen Jiaojiao thought that this man was going to leave with Meng Wan, he actually looked over with affection.

"I haven't been with Jiaojiao for a long time. She is the real wife, so I should spend more time with her."

"Chen Yuanli!" Meng Wan screamed in anger.
