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

Shen Jiaojiao accompanied Wei Lan to the market for a while before heading back home.

The porter boy saw her carriage and trotted forward quickly.

"Miss, Madam invites you."

Ke Xin glanced at Shen Jiaojiao, who was concentrating with her eyes closed, and took the initiative to take over the conversation, "Why did I invite you here?"

At this moment, Kexin has regained her composure, and sincerely feels that her young lady is really kind-hearted——

She spared Lin Zhen his life.

"My wife heard that the eldest lady was going out, so she sent someone to the concierge to tell her that if she saw the eldest lady, please go to the main courtyard." The boy replied.

"I know." Shen Jiaojiao responded.

The boy immediately stepped aside. After she got off the carriage, he came closer and lowered his voice to remind her.

"Miss, I heard that the eldest lady is not satisfied with your change of servants in the Pearl Courtyard."

After saying that, the boy returned to the concierge.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't look at him. After entering the house, she nodded to Kexin, "Thank you."

Ke Xin took note of it and looked for an opportunity to reward him later.

Mrs. Meng controls the entire Meng family, and everyone in the family is an informant.

It's very good that this young man is willing to give you a hint.

As soon as the group reached the archway that separated the inner and outer courtyards, they saw the maid Qingqi next to Mrs. Meng.

Qingmao walked forward quickly and saluted respectfully, "Miss, Madam, please come."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded slightly and looked back at Aoxue.

"You go back first, just follow me Kexin."

Aoxue responded respectfully and stepped aside.

Qingmai glanced at Aoxue and saw that she was an unfamiliar girl. He turned his attention to Shen Jiaojiao and said, "Miss, come with me."

The group soon arrived at the main courtyard.

Before Shen Jiaojiao walked in, she heard talking and laughing inside.

"Mom, the Meishan Mountain was so beautiful the day before yesterday. This is the first time my daughter has seen such a scenery."

Meng Wan's soft and coquettish voice came.

"When will Mom take me there again?"

"Any time." Mrs. Meng agreed.

"What about sister? Can you take sister with you too?"

The sweet voice was filled with malice.

Shen Jiaojiao clenched her fists, with a faint smile still on her face.

What a good sister to her.

Knowing that something bad happened to her in Meizhuang, he actually asked her to go there again.

Are you so eager to torture her?

"Miss, please wait a moment, the servant will go in and report."

Qingmai raised his hand to stop Shen Jiaojiao, glanced at her face calmly, then hurriedly looked away and walked into the lobby.

Not long after, Qingqi came to invite her in.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a warm breeze, mixed with the faint fragrance of plum.

Shen Jiaojiao glanced sideways at the furnaces placed around her.

The finest silver wire charcoal was burned from late autumn to early spring, burning hundreds of families' lifetime rations.

The Meng family's extravagance was even worse than that of the emperor.

"Jiaojiao is here? What are you looking at?" Mrs. Meng's voice came from above.

Shen Jiaojiao looked up and replied with a smile: "I'm looking at the charcoal stove."

Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "What's so good about the charcoal stove? Come to my foster mother quickly."

As he spoke, he waved to her and motioned for her to sit on his right side.

Sitting on the left is Meng Wan.

She had no objection and sat down obediently.

She no longer cares about respecting the left. The Anti-Justice Mother only had Meng Wan in her eyes and did not consider her feelings at all. Why should she bother herself and care about this?

Highland Barley serves hot tea.

She took it with a smile and put it on the square table without drinking it.

Mrs. Meng waved her hand and motioned for all the servants in the room to get down.

Qingba led the maids to retreat one after another, but Kexin stood there with his head lowered and did not move.

"Jiaojiao, you maid is disobedient..." Mrs. Meng looked at Kexin with a half-smile.

Ke Xin hurriedly knelt down and still didn't go out.

Mrs. Meng was so angry that she mistakenly thought that Shen Jiaojiao was telling the maid to do this to demonstrate to her.

"The little maid actually didn't even listen to the words of the mistress. How audacious! The foster mother will discipline you for you. Someone..."

"Thank you, Jiaojiao, for your stepmother's kindness. I will punish her when I get back."

Saying that, Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and glanced at Kexin.

"What are you doing standing here? Come down quickly!"

"Yes." Kexin received the order and respectfully stepped back.

Seeing Kexin retreating obediently, Mrs. Meng became even more angry and slapped the table and glared at Shen Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao's mastery skills are really good. She has taught her maid not to know her mistress, but only to recognize her as miss!"

She quickly stood up and bowed to the president, "My stepmother's words are serious, Jiaojiao has absolutely no such thoughts."

"According to what you mean, this maid makes the decision without authorization and does not take the mistress of the house seriously?" Mrs. Meng's words contained a threat, "If this is the case, our Meng Mansion cannot tolerate her!"

"That's not the case." She quickly denied.

Is the adoptive mother trying to use Kexin to beat her?
It seems that she wants to replace the servants of Mingzhu Courtyard, which makes her adoptive mother very angry.

Meng Wan saw the opportunity to add insult to injury, "Let me tell you, this maid doesn't look like a good girl."

"What Wan'er said is wrong. This maid of mine is the best." Shen Jiaojiao quickly found an excuse, "Oh, it's all my fault. After I was tripped by my sister last time, this maid saw her full. The filthiness of the body..."

"Those, these are two different things!" Meng Wan panicked for a moment, then straightened her waist again when she saw Mrs. Meng beside her, "That was just an accident."

"No, I think so too. The bad thing is that Mrs. Jiang is outnumbered by Keying, so let them follow me closely in the future." She moved Mrs. Jiang out.

Mrs. Jiang did send her back to Mingzhu Courtyard that day. Who knows what the two of them talked about?

Meng Wan rolled her eyes angrily, "Mrs. Jiang's hand must have been stretched too far!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Meng shouted to stop Meng Wan.

The news that Governor Jiang wants to establish a government office in Lin'an City has already spread.

Mrs. Meng is even more looking forward to establishing a good relationship with the Jiang family. How can she allow Meng Wan to speak ill of Mrs. Jiang?

Meng Wan did not expect that Mrs. Meng would lose her temper, so she shrank her head in fear, showing panic.

Mrs. Meng immediately softened her heart, held her beloved daughter in her arms, and explained the stakes to her in detail.

"Wan'er, you can just say this in front of me. If it spreads, I'm sure it will anger Mrs. Jiang."

The word 'spread the word' is very strong.

Shen Jiaojiao noticed the profound meaning of her stepmother's words and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth with a wry smile.

The adoptive mother didn't trust her and was afraid that she would tell others.

She gathered her emotions and brought the conversation back, "My stepmother came to see me. Did something happen?"

Thinking of business, Mrs. Meng quickly let go of Meng Wan and looked at Shen Jiaojiao with a frown.

"Jiaojiao, are you dissatisfied with the servants I arranged for you? Why did you suddenly ask A'hun to send people to the front yard? You even bought a group of servants outside."

As soon as the words of condemnation fell, Mrs. Meng changed her expression again and said earnestly: "It's not that my adoptive mother won't let you buy it, it's just that those people have unknown origins, so how can I serve you?"

Hearing the worry in her adoptive mother's words, Shen Jiaojiao was actually a little happy.

She opened her mouth, and when she was about to say the reason, Meng Wan stopped her.

"I think my sister is mistaken. She thinks someone arranged by my mother is spying on her."

The joy in her heart instantly dissipated, and she lowered her head and explained in a low voice: "My sister was wrong because Chen Yuanli wanted to do something wrong to me yesterday and expelled everyone in my courtyard."

Meng Wan's expression changed and she stood up quickly.

"Impossible! Yuan Li clearly stayed in our courtyard yesterday."

"He didn't succeed and was driven away by his sworn brother." She raised her eyes and looked at Meng Wan with pity, "It turns out that he went to Hanlianyuan after leaving."
