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

Chapter 40 Coward
Meng Hui's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Shen Jiaojiao's heart hard.

She raised her eyes and looked at the man, opening and closing her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Is the sworn brother mocking her?

But didn't Yuzhu say that his sworn brother pities her the most and has her as his sister in his heart?
"He took two concubines six months after getting married. If he had you in his heart, how could he do this?" Meng Hui asked.

Shen Jiaojiao was sure that her sworn brother was mocking her...

Maybe he wanted her to recognize the reality and free up the position of head wife for Meng Wan as soon as possible.

She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips sadly.

He showed pity and support to Meng Wan, but he was sarcastic to her. He was really a good big brother to Meng Wan.

No wonder Chen Yuanli followed Meng Wan's side and called him 'Eldest Brother' instead of following Shen Jiaojiao, his first wife, as 'Sworn Brother'.

"As long as Yuan Li likes it."

She didn't want to argue with her adopted brother and deliberately behaved respectfully and modestly.

"You!" Meng Hui's eyes flashed with coldness, and his voice became more condensed, "Do you like him so much?"

Shen Jiaojiao looked slightly startled.

She didn't know what the meaning of her stepbrother's question was, and she was afraid that the other party would talk about divorce again, so she could only nod her head reluctantly.

Meng Hui stared at her for a long time, said nothing, turned around and pushed the door open to go out.

Shen Jiaojiao quickly jumped up and followed.

The two of them came to the lobby of the front yard one after another, and saw Miss Zhou lying on Chen Yuanli's shoulder, sobbing softly as if she had been greatly wronged.

Chen Yuanli hugged her tightly, his eyes full of love.

Meng Hui paused and looked back at Shen Jiaojiao.

As if she didn't want to see this scene, Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and followed behind him dejectedly.

Meng Hui frowned, his hands hanging by his sides clenched and unclenched unconsciously, and his tone was colder than usual.

"What is this doing?"

Guangshan saw that his master was unhappy and hurriedly stepped forward, "Miss Zhou, please stop making trouble. The matter between you and my uncle has been spread all over the world!"

Chen Yuanli hurriedly pushed Miss Zhou away and looked at Meng Hui and Shen Jiaojiao at a loss, with an awkward smile on his face.

"Brother, Jiaojiao, you are here."

"Yuan Li." Shen Jiaojiao greeted and lowered her head.

Meng Hui's eyebrows moved slightly, not seeing her being so humble, so he grabbed her wrist again and pulled her straight to the front of the lobby.

Meng Hui looked at the Grand Master's chair and motioned for her to sit down.

She didn't dare to disobey and sat down cautiously.

Meng Hui's expression softened a little, and he straightened his face and looked at the two people in the hall.

"Tell me, why were you making trouble at the door earlier?"

Hearing this, Miss Zhou quickly knelt down and said in a choked voice: "Master, it's not that I want to make trouble, but the second lady really can't tolerate this slave!"

"How could Wan'er be such a person? Have you misunderstood?" Chen Yuanli asked.

In his eyes, although Meng Wan was charming and willful, she was not a ruthless person.

He didn't believe Meng Wan would do such a thing.

"Uncle, I am absolutely not talking nonsense!" Miss Zhou glanced at Chen Yuanli sadly, then knelt on the ground, "Masters, please be careful!"

Meng Hui looked at the two people below quietly without saying anything.

Miss Zhou gritted her teeth and continued:

"When I was sent to Xiyuan this morning and was so cold that I lost consciousness, I vaguely heard someone saying that they wanted to change my medicine and kill me without anyone noticing.

"I was so scared that I gritted my teeth and refused to take the medicine. They thought I was completely unconscious and scolded me for being shameless and crawling on the bed in my master's yard...

"That's when I realized that they are all from the second young lady, and the second young lady wants my life!"

As he said that, he straightened up suddenly and threw himself at Chen Yuanli's feet, hugging his thigh and begging.

"Uncle, I can't go to Zhuangzi. I will definitely die if I go to Zhuangzi! Please help me!" "It's impossible... Wan'er, Wan'er is not such a person..." Chen Yuanli still didn't believe it and looked towards him as if asking for help. Shen Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, tell me, how could this be Wan'er?"

Shen Jiaojiao blinked, these words...

No one knows better than her what kind of person Meng Wan is - vicious, cunning, and very smart, and can use an innocent appearance to hide her vicious heart!

But she couldn't say that. She could only frown and ask Miss Zhou, "Miss Zhou, did you hear wrongly? Wan'er is not such a person."

"Miss, please save me!" Miss Zhou kowtowed to Shen Jiaojiao again as if she had seen a life-saving straw, "I know you protected me this morning, please save me!"

Before Shen Jiaojiao could speak, Meng Hui asked directly: "Chen Yuanli, what do you think?"

Chen Yuanli showed hesitation, looked at Shen Jiaojiao guiltily, and finally spoke out with determination.

"I want Aunt Zhou to stay at home."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

Even Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but change her expression and looked at Chen Yuanli.

Aunt Zhou?
Aunt?

This man is really very proud...

Her surprised expression fell into Meng Hui's eyes, one of shock and sadness.

Especially since she only glanced at Chen Yuanli and then looked away without saying anything. She was so cowardly that even Meng Hui couldn't stand her.

"Take your Aunt Zhou to the main courtyard to talk."

After leaving these words, Meng Hui left with a puff of sleeves.

If he stayed there for a moment longer, he would be unable to restrain himself and smash his fist into Chen Yuanli's face.

After they walked away, Chen Yuanli breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to take Miss Zhou down first. Then he walked to Shen Jiaojiao and sat down where Meng Hui had been sitting.

Shen Jiaojiao's eyebrows jumped, pretending not to know the meaning of Chen Yuanli's behavior.

Ever since Miss Zhou told her about Chen Yuanli's anger, when she looked at Chen Yuanli again, she felt that his words and deeds were profound.

Especially since he deliberately sat in the seat where his eldest brother once sat. Did he want to take his place?

"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry, last night I..."

Chen Yuanli's guilty voice sounded, and he stretched out his hand towards her, wanting to hold hers.

Shen Jiaojiao turned aside, her eyes full of loneliness, "Yuanli, don't touch me."

"Are you angry with me?"

"Yes." She nodded and finally looked directly at Chen Yuanli, "You shouldn't be like this, Yuanli, where do you want to put me?"

Chen Yuanli panicked and wanted to put his arm around her shoulders, but was afraid of offending her, so he hurriedly explained, "She was the one who brought sugar water to the study last night and took the initiative to seduce me..."

His voice paused, as if he was afraid of dirtying her ears, and he changed the subject.

"Jiaojiao, believe me, I am definitely not that kind of person, I only have you in my heart!"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded gently, "Yuanli, I believe you, it's okay. It's just that I'm a little confused and want to be alone."

Being forced to watch a man act, she felt panicked and just wanted him to leave quickly.

Chen Yuanli felt that she was sensible and sensible, and there was pity in her eyes, "Jiaojiao..."

"Miss Zhou is a good girl, what identity do you plan to give her?" Shen Jiaojiao spoke first.

She didn't want to listen to Chen Yuanli's false 'comfort'.

"Don't raise your concubine for now, just be a maidservant." Chen Yuanli looked at her affectionately, "Jiaojiao, I don't want people to point fingers behind your back."

Shen Jiaojiao wanted to roll her eyes, but she resisted.

This man clearly knew that his adoptive mother would not agree to take a concubine, and he did not dare to let outsiders laugh at him for being a soft-hearted man, so he said these kind words to coax her.

She didn't expose her, pretending to be moved, and shared his worries, "Since she is the maid of the first wife, where will Miss Zhou's residence be arranged?"

Chen Yuanli did not have a separate courtyard in the inner courtyard. In the past, he either lived in Meng Wan's Hanlian courtyard or in the outer courtyard.

He didn't even have a place to place Miss Zhou...
