Chapter 86 The hatred of seizing his wife
"Sworn brother!"

Shen Jiaojiao anxiously grabbed the man's collar and forced him to look down at her.

"I heard that Murong Zi is very powerful. Don't offend him easily."

Seeing that she was upset, Meng Hui quickly hugged her into his arms and coaxed her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I will take care of it."

The two of them hurried back to Meng's Mansion after breakfast.

Meng Hui sent her back to the Pearl Courtyard and kissed her forehead in front of a room full of servants.

"Jiaojiao, please go inside first and have a good rest."

She took a step back in panic, not allowing the man to get close, "I know, please leave quickly!"

After saying that, she rushed into the east wing without looking back.

Looking at her fleeing back, Meng Hui raised the corners of his lips slightly.

After Qian Ying completely disappeared behind the door, the man raised his sharp eyes and glanced around the servants present.

The warning in his eyes was self-evident.

The servants shivered and lowered their heads.

After Meng Hui left, Ke Xin and Keying dared to enter the house to wait.

"Miss, where have you been all night? You're worried about us!"

"Miss, Yumei came in and said that Aoxue is not in danger at the moment. Do you want to save people directly?"

The moment they saw their young lady, two maids rushed up to talk to her.

Shen Jiaojiao patted the back of Kexin's hand to express that she was fine, then turned to look at Keying.

"Can Yumei directly rescue Aoxue?"

"Yes, Yumei said there is a way to save the person, and asked if you want to save him." Ke Ying explained carefully, "She said that the pavilion master entertained Aoxue so well, and it seems that he really wants to send the person back to the Meng Mansion."

"Let Yumei send someone to protect Aoxue first. If Murong Zi really wants to send him back, don't rob him forcefully." She said.

Since Murong Zi said that he wanted the two of them sent back, he would definitely not lay a finger on Aoxue.

If Yumei takes action, it may be counterproductive.

Ke Ying responded repeatedly and hurriedly went out to deliver the message.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at Kexin aside, "How did you escape yesterday?"

Yesterday, she only brought Aoxue into Yichun Courtyard, while Kexin and Keying stayed in the carriage.

It is not difficult for someone who wants to catch them.

"Yumei rushed over and asked the groom to drive the carriage and leave first, while she stayed behind." Kexin explained in a low voice, "We wanted to wait for you to come out, but Yumei said that you are safe with the eldest young master."

Yumei helped again.

"Just come back."

Shen Jiaojiao sighed, feeling extremely regretful.

She shouldn't have gone to the appointment and put herself in danger, and she shouldn't have believed in the so-called rules of Yichun Court.

Murong Zi is the master of the pavilion, how can he follow the rules?
"Miss, Madam has sent someone to invite you." The voice of the maid guarding the door came from outside the door.

Kexin's face changed, and her tone was a bit impatient, "Miss, my wife got very angry yesterday when she learned about Murong Zi. I'm afraid it's not a good thing to let you go now..."

"It's okay." She waved her hand and stood up, "Let me go and have a look."

The master and servant soon arrived at the main courtyard.

"Foster mother." Shen Jiaojiao walked into the lobby and saluted Mrs. Meng who was sitting at the top.

Mrs. Meng stared at her with a straight face and dissatisfaction, "Shen Jiaojiao, you are so brave! Where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you report to me when you went out? And why didn't you come back all night?"

She hurriedly knelt down and lowered her head to explain.

"Foster mother, I went to Mengxianju and Yichunyuan yesterday. You said before that I am married and I don't need to report to you when I go out in the future..."

"Even if you get married, you should tell your family."

A male voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Shen Jiaojiao looked up in surprise and saw Chen Yuanli sitting on an armchair with a dark face.

"Yuanli didn't go to school?" she asked.

"Pfft!" Meng Wan covered her lips and chuckled, gloating: "My sister stayed out last night, how could your husband think about studying?"

What didn't she understand when she heard this?
Meng Wan clearly planned to add insult to injury in front of Chen Yuanli and take the opportunity to speak ill of her.

For a moment, she didn't know how to argue. Is it possible to tell the truth that she stayed in Yingyuan with her adopted brother last night?
Everyone looked down at Shen Jiaojiao who was kneeling on the ground, waiting for her to speak. The atmosphere became a little subtle.

"Shen Jiaojiao was with me last night."

Arrive before anyone arrives.

Meng Hui walked in quickly from outside and glanced at Meng Wan lightly.

Meng Wan was frightened into silence by this sight.

Seeing the tense relationship between the brother and sister, Mrs. Meng looked displeased and glared at Shen Jiaojiao.

"What's going on at Yichun Court?"

Shen Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat and she wrung her fingers, not knowing how to answer.

"She wants to ask the mysterious organization to take action to investigate the Meizhuang case." Meng Hui walked to her side, pulled her up, and took the responsibility on himself.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned this organization to her. Fortunately, I was discussing things in Yichun Court and brought her out."

When Chen Yuanli heard about this situation, he felt regretful, "It's all my fault that Jiaojiao had this idea..."

He mistakenly thought that Shen Jiaojiao was stimulated by him and went to the mysterious organization to prove her innocence.

"When did you meet Murong Zi?" Chen Yuanli asked again.

Shen Jiaojiao nodded.

Chen Yuanli believed it and shook his head with a wry smile, "Outsiders are spreading rumors that Murong Zi is infatuated, but little do they know that to me, this is the hatred of seizing my wife!"

With that said, Chen Yuanli stood up and walked to her, wanting to take her into his arms.

The real wife-stealer, Meng Hui, took a step forward without changing his expression, and happened to stand between the two of them.

"Don't worry, the Meng family will never tolerate such dirty behavior. Even if I confront Murong Zi, I will not hand over Shen Jiaojiao." Meng Hui said.

Hearing the promise, Chen Yuanli felt relieved.

He needs the support of the Meng family and must not give up Shen Jiaojiao.

"It's all my fault that I'm useless. I don't have an official position, so I can't protect my beloved wife." Chen Yuanli's eyes were filled with sorrow.

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that Chen Yuanli believed his sworn brother's lies.

"It's okay. My sworn brother has told me that you will end next year. I think you will be on the gold list next spring." She said softly.

Chen Yuanli's face was filled with joy, "I will definitely earn you a royal wife to come back."

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more harmonious, Meng Wan became unhappy, especially Chen Yuanli's promise, which made her mad with jealousy.

"Where did sister go last night? My husband and I were very worried." Meng Wan asked seemingly unintentionally.

Before she could speak, Meng Hui spoke first: "Do you have any questions?"

Facing the man's cold gaze, Meng Wan shrank her head in fear and waved her hands awkwardly, "No problem."

Mrs. Meng couldn't see that her beloved daughter was in disgrace, so she also pointed the finger at Shen Jiaojiao.

"Where did Jiaojiao stay yesterday?"

Shen Jiaojiao looked hesitant, not knowing whether she should say anything or not.

Meng Hui glanced at her, saw her dilemma, and spoke to help her again.

"Murong Zi's men were chasing me so hard that I was forced to take Shen Jiaojiao and hide in Yingyuan. Fortunately, the owner of Yingyuan is kind-hearted and is willing to stay overnight."

Mrs. Meng's eyes widened when she heard that it was the owner of Yingyuan who had never shown his face.

"Have you met the owner of Yingyuan?"

It is said that the owner of Yingyuan is a high-ranking official who came from the capital to come to Ancheng and is not allowed to be seen by ordinary people.

If the Meng family can establish a good relationship with the owner of Yingyuan, who knows what kind of opportunities they will have in the future!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng became even happier.

"Jiaojiao and Ahhun were lucky enough to fall into the eyes of the master of Yingyuan."

Seeing that her adoptive mother softened her attitude and stopped asking about staying overnight, Shen Jiaojiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Meng Hui.

No wonder her sworn brother asked her to take a carriage from Yingyuan back to Meng Mansion in a swaggering way this morning. This was the reason.

The sworn brother is really smart!

Before she could be happy for long, Mrs. Meng took out another dark purple invitation.

"This is the post that Murong Zi sent to the government... Oh! Ah Hui, how do you think we should handle this?"
