Chapter 76 There was an engagement
"Meng Hui, tell me, maybe I can do something about it?"

Li Shang deserves to be the shopkeeper. Now he no longer calls him 'Meng Zongshang', but calls him 'Meng Hui' in an attempt to build a closer relationship between the two.

Meng Hui raised his eyes and glanced at Li Shang.

This man has a good skin, a sweet personality, and is a love libertine. Maybe he can really help?

After thinking about it, he changed the story between the two into another story and told it.

Li Shang is a good person, how can you not tell?

In Meng Hui's story, the cousin who was fostered in her aunt's house had a fiancé and was involved in a relationship with her aunt's son, who was also her cousin.

Listening to the emotional entanglement inside, Li Shang looked complicated.

No wonder, he had previously wondered why Meng Hui was so strict in disciplining the eldest lady. She refused to let him go, because he was raising his little daughter-in-law.

How cunning!

He actually resorted to the trick of getting closer to the water and getting to the moon first!

Li Shang restrained his eyes and tried not to look at Meng Hui, lest he inadvertently cast sarcastic glances at him.

"What are you thinking about?" Meng Hui's probing voice came.

Li Shang took a deep breath, knowing that he was wary of him, and he suddenly started to play tricks.

"I was thinking about the relationship between these two people." Li Shang raised his hand and touched his nose, thinking.

"I think the cousin should prefer her fiancé."

After speaking, Li Shang glanced at the man next to him, for fear of angering him.

Unexpectedly, he just nodded calmly, "Really?"

"Yes, look at this cousin, even though she was pestered by her cousin, she still remained unmoved, and even took the initiative to tell her cousin that she liked her fiancé. What does this mean?"

"what?"

"It shows that my cousin doesn't like my cousin at all. She only misses her fiancé!"

"Really..." Meng Hui lowered his eyelids to cover his black and white eyes.

Seeing his friend's ugly face, Li Shang felt a little guilty and quickly comforted him: "Actually, that's not necessarily the case. After all, I don't know them. The specific situation needs further analysis."

"What if my cousin and my cousin were engaged before?"

"What?" Li Shang jumped up.

When did Meng Hui become engaged to Shen Jiaojiao? Why didn't he know?
"Why are you so excited?" Meng Hui raised his eyes.

Li Shang took a sip of tea nervously and smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I'm curious. My cousin is clearly engaged to her fiancé, so why is she engaged to her cousin again?"

"My cousin suddenly encountered a family change. She was disliked by her cousin's family and canceled the engagement." Meng Hui was silent for a moment and added: "My cousin is young and doesn't know about this."

Li Shang nodded, understanding his friend's pain.

However, according to Meng Hui's temperament, if he had known that Shen Jiaojiao had been engaged to him, how could he tolerate Chen Yuanli's existence?
There must be something hidden in it.

Li Shang wanted to find out more information, so he was going to drop some serious information on his friend right now.

"The cousin is right. I don't know that they are engaged, right? I prefer my fiancé now. How can my cousin..."

Meng Hui interrupted him, "What can my cousin do to make my cousin change his mind?"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Shang replied: "It's the best, right? Let me go. The melons that are forced are not sweet."

"They are married, how can they let go?"

Li Shang's eyes widened and his mouth opened again and again, unable to make any sound.

What a beast!
To actually do such a thing to the eldest lady?

Recalling that gentle and delicate face, with the corner of his mouth always curled into a smile, and even talking to him in a delicate and gentle manner, Li Shang felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Even if there was a marriage contract when I was young, that would not be possible...

"You!" He swallowed the words again, and he urgently changed his words.

"You have to let her go even if you don't let her go. I advise your friend to let my cousin live. When you love someone, you want her to be truly happy, not to force her."

Meng Hui's face became increasingly ugly. The teacup in his palm turned into dust in an instant, and the tea mixed with dust slowly fell down.

Seeing this scene, Li Shang's scalp felt numb.

It seems that there are too many violent materials. What if Meng Hui gives him such a blow on the head...

He was so frightened that he shrank his head and did not dare to say a word.

Meng Hui waved his hand, stood up and left without even looking at him. Return to Yingyuan.

Walking on the path he had walked during the day, Meng Hui frowned as he recalled the smile on Shen Jiaojiao's face.

Li Shang's admonition rang in his mind.

His eyes moved and he stood there for a long time before walking towards the Pearl Courtyard.

Pushing open the door, I saw the person I longed for lying on the quilt, huddled up like a kitten.

His heart softened and he was even more reluctant to let go.

He gently pulled her into his arms and was about to hug her to sleep when he vaguely heard the woman muttering the word "Yuanli".

Meng Hui was so angry that his face was livid, and he stripped the woman out of her clothes in two or two strokes.

"It hurts..." Shen Jiaojiao frowned and cried out in pain, and crystal tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

It was the first time that Meng Hui felt such a strong sense of frustration, and he tortured her so hard that she screamed repeatedly.

"Who am I? Jiaojiao, who am I?"

He whispered in her ear and asked again and again.

Shen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, and a broken voice escaped from her throat.

"M-Meng Hui?"

He took a breath, his eyes became darker and darker, and something seemed to be brewing in the depths of his pupils.

……

"Hiss, my waist is so sore..." Shen Jiaojiao frowned, raised her hand to rub her lower back, and opened her eyes at this moment.

Looking at the familiar furnishings around her, she shivered and subconsciously looked at her ankles.

That golden streak has long disappeared.

There were several red marks on the white and tender ankles.

This was left behind when she struggled carefully while her adopted brother was leaving last night.

After her adoptive brother left, she tried all the hairpins on her head and tried to pull them away with her hands, but it was in vain.

Finally she was so tired that she fell asleep on the bed.

Unexpectedly, she dreamed of the scene where Chen Yuanli was about to force her. She was so frightened that she shouted at Chen Yuanli and told him to go away. When she woke up, she found that she was really...

Before she could react, she was coaxed to shout 'Ahhun' over and over again.

Thinking of this, her whole face turned red and she shook her head vigorously, not daring to think about it anymore.

She forced herself to focus on the environment, trying to identify whether this was Yingyuan or Meng's Mansion.

At this time, there was a slight voice outside the door.

Fortunately, it is quiet in the early morning, so you can easily hear it if you calm down.

"Kexin, why did the lady drive Mo Wei away? She knelt all night yesterday, and was driven away by Aoxue again."

"Her? She's carrying the Lord's back."

"You're talking about her looking around in the backyard? Didn't the lady tolerate it earlier? I kept people watching, but I didn't see any other actions from her."

"Perhaps there has been a change of people in the courtyard, and the lady doesn't want to stay, right? I don't know for sure."

……

Listening to Ke Xin Ke Ying's voice outside, Shen Jiaojiao's heart finally returned to her stomach.

"Keying, Kexin." She shouted.

The conversation room outside was interrupted, and the two of them opened the door and came in to help her dress up.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, staring at her beautiful face in the mirror, she raised her hand to touch her cheek and exhaled slowly.

Don't be anxious, don't make your adopted brother anxious.

The sworn brother is willing to let her back, indicating that those are just his past thoughts.

Maybe it was because she alienated her adoptive brother because of her adoptive mother's words, which made him afraid of losing this sister?
No matter what, she must hurry up and find evidence of the crime.

She sighed, stood up, and ordered: "Gather the new servants to the courtyard and recognize their faces."

Let’s take care of this important matter first.

It has been two days since the servant brought it back, and the master has not even seen it seriously.
