Chapter 37 Miss Zhou

"What are you pretending to be!" Meng Wan reached out and pushed Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao staggered back two steps before regaining her balance.

She looked over in surprise, wondering why Meng Wan suddenly became angry.

Aren't you afraid of being seen by your half-father?
Meng Wan stepped forward again, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. I know exactly what you did in the eldest brother's yard the night before!"

"Wan'er, what are you talking about?" Shen Jiaojiao frowned, "Didn't you make it clear before? Those are all nonsense from the servants in your courtyard. I just slept in the sworn brother's courtyard. …”

Forced to recall what happened that night again, she wished she could strangle the proud woman in front of her to death.

But she can't.

Not only can't she do it, she also wants to make excuses with the other party with a smile.

The long nails dug deeply into her palms, and the stinging pain from her palms forced her to wake up, and her eyes even turned red.

She deliberately pretended to be on the verge of tears, with sad eyes.

"Wan'er, did you misunderstand something?"

Seeing her like this, Meng Wan was also a little unsure.

Did nothing happen the night before?
No, it's impossible. Shen Jiaojiao did appear to be very guilty at that time, and her people also sent back the news that she had succeeded. There could be no mistake!
Shen Jiaojiao quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Meng Wan. Seeing her troubled expression, she obviously believed her words, and her heart dropped heavily.

As long as Meng Wan is suspicious, he will send someone to investigate.

She just needs people to keep an eye on Meng Wan.

"Why are you still here?"

Mrs. Meng's voice suddenly sounded in the yard, and both of them were startled.

Especially Meng Wan, her whole body stiffened visibly, as if she was afraid of being bumped into by Mrs. Meng.

If you are afraid, why do you still want to provoke?

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't understand what Meng Wan was thinking.

"Foster mother, I'm chatting with my sister." She lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes as she spoke.

Meng Wan followed her words and said, "Yes, yes, we are chatting."

Mrs. Meng smiled gently at Shen Jiaojiao, "Don't Jiaojiao have something to deal with? Go ahead and do your work."

After speaking, he looked at Meng Wan with a serious expression, "Meng Wan, come with me!"

"Yes." Meng Wan responded sadly.

Shen Jiaojiao stood there with her eyes lowered. After Mrs. Meng and Meng Wan left, she slowly turned around and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Seeing her coming out, Keying let out a surprised 'yeah' sound.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Is it Second Miss..." Keying came up to meet her and looked at Shen Jiaojiao's face with distress.

She shook her head and said, "Go back first."

"Okay." Keying nodded and helped her walk to the Pearl Courtyard.

On the road.

Ke Ying still couldn't hold it back and whispered: "Miss, your eyes are so red..."

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head, "Really?"

What she didn't want to cry was that the tears would fall on their own.

She just couldn't understand why her adoptive mother didn't ask her just now when she saw the grievance on her face and saw her wiping her tears.
Could the stepmother only tolerate Meng Wan in her eyes?
"Miss..." Keying didn't expect that she would stab Lou Zi with just one sentence, and hurriedly comforted her, "Miss, don't cry. What happened? Tell me and I will find a solution for you."

Shen Jiaojiao took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face carefully, "It's nothing."

Seeing her young lady pretending to be strong, Ke Ying's heart softened and she couldn't bear to expose her, so she had to change the topic abruptly and try to divert her attention.

"By the way, the doctor Aoxue gave Miss yesterday has been tested by doctors I know well at Tuoren Hospital. They all said that the medicine is harmless and is a good painkiller and can be used."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "Okay."

"Mo Wei is restless and has been inquiring about the various masters in the house. Aoxue has followed the rules and has been in the small kitchen."

"Who is she asking about?" Shen Jiaojiao became interested.

Mo Wei has just entered the mansion, who can he ask for information?

Could it be a spy planted by Mo Gan?
"It's all about asking people in our courtyard." Keying explained in detail, "Doudou is staring at her. I saw her wandering around several times and didn't talk to anyone outside."

"Just continue to pay attention." Shen Jiaojiao said.

"Yes." Keying responded, picking up a few more things that happened in the Pearl Courtyard and talking about them, completely turning her attention away. The master and servant returned to the yard talking and laughing, and saw Kexin approaching with a dark face.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, as if she had something important to report, Shen Jiaojiao waved her hand for Ke Ying to go down first, and then looked at Ke Xin.

"What's wrong? You were still smiling this morning."

"Miss, the boy who lied about the news the night before has been found." Ke Xin said.

Shen Jiaojiao was startled and immediately stepped forward to grab Kexin's hand and asked, "Where is it?!"

"We can't find anyone now!" Kexin gritted her teeth and looked angry. "His name is Wang Zhu. He came to the mansion two years ago and was on duty in the front yard. He has not been back since he left the mansion the night before yesterday."

"How did you know it was him?"

"I don't know it myself, but it just so happens that the concierge recognizes him. We are from the same hometown..."

Ke Xin explained in detail the whole process of inquiry, discovery and confirmation, without missing a single detail.

After listening to the report, Shen Jiaojiao knew that the follow-up was no longer something Ke Xin could investigate.

She had to find a way to find someone to investigate outside and find Wang Zhu.

If you want to see a person alive, you want to see a corpse if you die!

It's a pity that Mo Wei and Aoxue can't be trusted, and she doesn't dare to ask Uncle Mo for help.

Just when she was at a loss, Ke Ying knocked on the door again, saying that Miss Zhou from Xiyuan refused to leave.

Shen Jiaojiao asked Keying to come in, "Miss Zhou?"

"Miss, that's my uncle's wife." Keying explained, "Miss Zhou said she wants to see you. If you don't see her, she won't leave."

"What can you do if you see me..." She looked helpless, but still stood up, "Let's go and see what's going on."

Originally, when selecting her maids, she did make use of those two beautiful maids.

When Meng Wan snatched the person away, she had guessed that this day would come - she had already experienced Chen Yuanli's ability to transfer to another person.

Even yesterday she deliberately made Meng Wan angry because she had this dirty intention.

She expected Meng Wan to shoot her in the foot.

I didn’t expect it to come true...

Although Ms. Zhou's experience had nothing to do with her, she still couldn't let it go.

After all, I have to go see him.

Xiyuan is not far from Mingzhuyuan, and it only takes a moment to reach it.

It was quiet in the yard, there was no sound, and Shen Jiaojiao showed a bit of worry on her face.

After walking in, I realized that the mother-in-law had packed up all of Miss Zhou's few things and was waiting for her to get up.

"Miss Zhou is so arrogant that she wants our lady to come and invite her in person." Ke Xin stepped forward first and put herself in position for Shen Jiaojiao.

Upon hearing that Shen Jiaojiao was coming, Miss Zhou stopped pretending to be sick and sat up suddenly, looking straight at the door.

"Miss, you are finally here!"

Shen Jiaojiao said "Hmm", walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Miss Zhou's face carefully.

"She looks so iconic, no wonder Yuan Li likes her."

Miss Zhou was stunned, then immediately climbed out of bed, knelt at her feet, and apologized softly: "Miss, I'm sorry..."

"You don't have to be like this. It's your blessing that Yuan Li likes you." Shen Jiaojiao pulled him up and led him to sit beside him.

She wanted to apologize to her, saying that she was sorry for causing you to be selected by Meng Wan and then ruined by Chen Yuanli.

But when I thought about it again, I felt that I was very hypocritical, so I simply said nothing and waited for Miss Zhou to speak.

After Miss Zhou insisted on evacuating the servants in the house, she knelt down to Shen Jiaojiao again with a serious look on her face.

"Miss, my uncle forced me to do this last night. I didn't want to do it. He also kept calling me 'Jiaojiao' and said a lot of stupid things."

"When something like this happens, I have no face to face you. But you saved my life today, and I must bring these words to you."

Shen Jiaojiao frowned slightly.

Jiaojiao?

Is Chen Yuanli missing her?
What on earth did he say that made Miss Zhou so cautious?
