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

Chapter 56 Want to be a substitute
The north wind howled outside the window, making the withered green leaves rustle, as if it had entered deep winter overnight.

In the east wing of the Pearl Courtyard, the atmosphere was anxious and stagnant, a bit colder than the cold wind outside the window.

"Miss, Kexin didn't find out about this..."

Ke Xin's face was full of shame, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at his own lady, for fear of seeing a look of disappointment on her face.

Shen Jiaojiao said 'hmm', "You are just a maid in the inner house. It's normal that you can't spy on me. I'm just worried."

Seeing that her voice was calm and seemed lifeless, Ke Xin carefully made suggestions.

"Why don't you ask the young master? The young master should know. I heard from Guangshan that the young master specially sent people over to keep an eye on that person."

Shen Jiaojiao twitched the corner of her mouth and flatly refused.

"No, you are not allowed to look for him either." She paused and added: "You are not allowed to look for Guangshan again."

"Yes." Ke Xin nodded unhappily.

Ke Ying pulled Ke Xin back and took two steps forward.

"My uncle wants to stay overnight, what should I do?"

Keying has a steady temperament, which is much better than the irritable Kexin. She pays more attention to immediate matters.

Chen Yuanli wants to stay overnight, but his lady is no longer perfect. What should she do?
"I don't know." Shen Jiaojiao shook her head honestly.

She hasn't thought about it yet.

Chen Yuanli must have heard the rumors outside and planned to consummate her marriage to test her virginity.

Not to mention whether she was a virgin or not, based on this man's temper towards Qin Muchu, it was impossible for her to have sex with him.

If she had to choose one, she might as well go with her adopted brother...

"Miss? Miss?" Kexin waved his hand in front of her, "Why are you so dizzy all of a sudden? Your face has become so red, maybe you are sick?"

"It's okay." Shen Jiaojiao slapped Kexin away angrily, and then stretched out her hand to touch her cheek.

It was really horribly hot.

She quickly drove away all the charm in her mind.

Choose what to choose!
She didn't choose either Chen Yuanli or her adopted brother!
"The young lady is kind-hearted and will probably not agree with my plan, but..." Ke Ying lowered her eyelids and said firmly: "It's just that someone has to do the dirty work."

Before Shen Jiaojiao could speak, she continued: "If the young lady agrees, I will order people to spread rumors now and use the second young lady's jealousy to lure the uncle away."

"Not suitable."

Shen Jiaojiao rejected Keying's idea.

"Yuan Li is now suspicious of me. If there is no way to completely dispel his suspicion, he will continue to doubt and test me."

Keying nodded heavily, knowing that what the young lady said was true.

"Well, after lights out tonight, let me consummate the marriage with my uncle on behalf of the young lady." Ke Xin said.

"No." Ke Ying was the first to refuse, "I have a similar body shape to the lady, so I should do it."

Seeing that they were actually arguing about who would be the substitute tonight, Shen Jiaojiao was so angry that she took out the embroidered pillow and threw it at Ke Xin and Keying.

"Are you two pigs? You are so stupid!"

Annoyance was written on her face, and her eyes glanced at their knees, making her even more angry.

"You have grown up with me since you were young, and we are like sisters. How can I push you into a pit of fire? Don't mention this kind of thing again!"

The two maids looked at each other and knelt down again.

"Stop kneeling!" She gasped angrily, "Don't you want your knees anymore?!"

Before she could catch her breath, the voice of the maid guarding the door came in,

"Miss, Miss Zhou is here."

"not see!"

She was worried about how to trick Chen Yuanli into coming over, and she didn't want to see Miss Zhou at all.

The little maid responded respectfully, seemed to have gone to pass the news, and quickly trotted back.

"Miss, Miss Zhou insists on seeing you and says that she has something important to tell you. She must see you in person before she can speak."

But Xin Keying knew that Miss Zhou and the second young lady were not dealing with each other, so she quickly persuaded Shen Jiaojiao.

"Miss, would you like to meet me? Maybe it's something important?"

"Yes, maybe she is here to help you." Shen Jiaojiao was so annoyed by the two maids that she could not help but let him in.

Miss Zhou didn't seem to expect that the people from the Pearl Courtyard would directly invite her into the east chamber. When she saw Shen Jiaojiao, there was a bit of surprise on her face.

"Miss." Miss Zhou leaned over and saluted.

Shen Jiaojiao stopped greeting her and asked straight to the point: "What do you want from me?"

"This slave is here to thank you." After saying that, Miss Zhou knelt down and gave a big salute, "Thank you very much, Miss, for your life-saving grace. Zhou Yan will never forget it."

Her eyes flashed and she changed her title, "Aunt Zhou, there's no need to be polite."

Keying stepped forward and helped Miss Zhou up.

"Thank you, Miss, for choosing the Xiyuan for me. I like this yard very much." Miss Zhou said.

"As long as you like it."

"The eldest lady seems to be in trouble. I am willing to help the eldest lady."

Shen Jiaojiao sighed, "I don't need it."

Previously, she was just worried that her adoptive mother and Meng Wan would attack Miss Zhou, so she was willing to act in front of the door of Meng's house and in front of her adopted brother.

The two weren't even close to a partnership.

Miss Zhou had previously offered to help her contain Meng Wan, but she refused.

"Miss Zhou, you can leave the Meng Mansion at any time, as long as you want." Shen Jiaojiao said.

Miss Zhou was keenly aware of the difference between the two titles of 'Miss Zhou' and 'Aunt Zhou', and knew that the eldest lady really wanted to let her go.

"Miss, I like the noble life of the Meng family, and I am willing to accept it."

Miss Zhou smiled slightly and turned around in a circle.

"You see, I am now wearing gold and silver, enjoying endless wealth and splendor."

"Since my aunt likes this kind of life, I have nothing to say." Shen Jiaojiao glanced over lightly, "Kexin, see you off."

Hearing this, Miss Zhou became anxious, "Hey, hey, hey! Miss, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Ke looked at his young lady with embarrassment, obviously not wanting to chase Miss Zhou away.

What if Miss Zhou has something to do?
"My servant just wants to ask, does the young lady plan to sleep with my uncle?"

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, "You don't need to know."

Miss Zhou nodded clearly, "I have a plan that will completely make my uncle no longer doubt the young lady."

"I said, you don't need to know, and you don't need to wade into this muddy water." Her voice was a little more annoyed.

I really don’t know what’s in their heads!
Those two wanted to be stand-ins, and this one wanted to get involved.

She is obviously the master, right?

Is she so weak that she needs a maid to protect her?

Before she could figure it out, the slightly panicked voice of the guard maid came from outside again.

"Miss! It's not good!"

"My uncle heard that Miss Zhou came to Mingzhu Courtyard, so he came over and is waiting at the entrance of the courtyard."

"What?!" Kexin panicked visibly, "What should I do, what should I do!"

Ke Ying also frowned, "It's not time for school yet..."

"Miss, listen to me!" Miss Zhou rushed to Shen Jiaojiao, her face anxious and her voice trembling.

"Let me come in first. It's not time to go to bed yet. After I have dinner with you two, you can find an opportunity to punish me. I have a way to make my uncle come with me."

Ke Ying and Ke Xin said in unison: "This is good!"

"You want Yuan Li to hate me?" Shen Jiaojiao shook her head gently, "I don't need it."

After saying that, he turned to look at the door.

"Kexin, send Miss Zhou out of the back door."

"Keying, please come in."
