Chapter 92 Savior
"Jiaojiao, don't listen to his nonsense!"

Seeing Shen Jiaojiao's silence, Chen Yuanli thought that she was really interested in leaving, so he hurriedly expressed his stance.

"My feelings for you can be judged by the sun and the moon."

Before Shen Jiaojiao could speak, Murong Zi's sneer came again.

"Hey, why didn't you refute my question just now? Is it possible that your thoughts are all expressed through your mouth?" He crossed his arms and looked at Chen Yuanli leisurely.

Chen Yuanli became angry because of embarrassment, "Murong Pavilion Master, you have tried to sow discord between me and Jiaojiao four times. What are your intentions?"

"Didn't I tell you earlier? I want to marry the eldest lady."

"Jiaojiao is the wife I am marrying, and I will not allow you to be presumptuous!"

"Then she can make peace with her. Why can't she make peace with her when there is a better choice?" Murong Zi spread her hands and acted like a rogue, "What? You are allowed to take concubines, but you are not allowed to make peace with her?"

This was the first time Chen Yuanli encountered such a rogue, and he was choked and speechless.

He was indeed in the wrong and could not argue...

"Okay, okay, let's stop arguing." Mr. Meng tried to smooth things over and glanced at Chen Yuanli, feeling a little dissatisfied with this young man in his heart.

He should not have agreed to marry his two daughters to Chen Yuanli that day.

Now the family has no peace!

It's a pity that Jiaojiao has a deep love for Chen Yuanli. As a father, he can only raise some sons-in-law in private and take care of his adopted daughter.

Thinking of this, Mr. Meng sighed and raised his eyes to look at Murong Zi, "Murong Pavilion Master, even if you help the Meng family, I will not promise my daughter to you."

Seeing that the sun was rising, it was already meal time, and he even issued an order to expel the guests.

"Please, Pavilion Master, please don't force others into trouble."

"If you have nothing else to do, please come back."

How could Murong Zi be willing to leave?
He stayed up all night, worked hard to solve the Meizhuang case, and came to the Meng Mansion with full sincerity. How could he be willing to leave just like that?

Thinking of this, Murong Zi stopped arguing with Chen Yuanli and turned to look at Shen Jiaojiao.

"Miss, I sent your maid back and solved the Meizhuang case for you. How could you drive me away without even a word of thanks?"

There was a hint of grievance in the clear voice.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her hand and pressed her temples. She couldn't resist this posture and felt her head hurt.

Why does this man insist on pestering her?
Is it possible that the two of them really know each other?
Wait, listening to the conversation between the sworn brother and Murong Zi just now, it is clear that they know each other.

Her eyes lit up, and she looked past Murong Zi and landed on Meng Hui.

"Brother, who is he?"

Seeing that she finally thought of the important point, Meng Hui put down the tea cup leisurely, stood up and walked behind Shen Jiaojiao, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't you recognize him? You saved his life."

"what?!"

Shen Jiaojiao took a breath, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and was shocked, "When did it happen? Why don't I remember it?"

Meng Hui glanced at Murong Zi and spoke softly.

"When you were five or six years old, I was wandering out with you and met a boy who was bullied by others."

"You thought he was pitiful, so you asked me to buy him with money, and then you told him some nonsense like 'Don't bully young people into poverty' and 'Man can conquer nature'."

"Seeing that he has no fighting spirit, you lied to him that your family was poor and you used your only money to buy him. Let him do more good deeds in the future. If you meet him again, he will come to support you when he sees that you are not doing well."

Shen Jiaojiao's face turned red when she heard this, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

She remembered that this was indeed the case.

When she was young, she listened to her adoptive father's stories about chivalrous acts and righteousness, and determined to become a chivalrous person.

It happened that that day I sneaked out to play with my adopted brother and met a poor little brother. She only thought that she was a chivalrous woman who was kind-hearted and saved others...

"Is he the Murong Pavilion Master?" Shen Jiaojiao raised her hands to cover her face in shame, and quietly measured Murong Zi through her fingers.

The noble man in front of him is completely different from the dirty boy with wounds all over his body.

Who can recognize this?
Seeing that she recognized him, Murong Zi's eyes quickly flashed with joy.

Soon he put away his smile again, raised his chin, and pointed his nostril at her, "Miss, you deceived me so hard!"

That day he was beaten until he could breathe, and it was Shen Jiaojiao who gave him hope to live.

He tried his best to memorize Shen Jiaojiao's appearance, hoping to find her savior one day and repay her life-saving grace.

Who would have thought that this man would actually lie to him!
He searched all the poor families in Lin'an City, but could not find Shen Jiaojiao.

Who would have thought that the so-called poor family was actually the richest man in Lin'an, the Meng family?

Shen Jiaojiao felt guilty and embarrassed, and did not dare to look at Murong Zi, so she had to turn her eyes to Meng Hui for help.

"When did the sworn brother know about this?"

Meng Hui raised his eyebrows lightly, "Just now."

She grimaced, "How did you recognize him?"

"He has no ill intentions, he has a good impression of you, and his attitude towards me is not too bad."

After all, Meng Hui was the one who paid the money, so Murong Zi would not take it too seriously.

"Can this be seen?" Shen Jiaojiao was dumbfounded.

Meng Hui pursed her lips and raised her hand to point to Murong Zi's purse hanging on her waist.

"The most important thing is the wallet, plus he has the same name as Zi. Wasn't it you who named him?"

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she suddenly remembered that she had done something stupid back then——

She gave her purse to the boy and said that one day he would be successful.

Recalling that shameful scene, her cheeks burned, and she felt that her entire face was completely humiliated.

"Purple energy comes from the east", that was a line from the storybook that her adoptive father read to her.

The purple color of Murong Zi is taken from 'Purple Energy Comes from the East'?
Shen Jiaojiao's scalp felt numb and she didn't know what to say, so she could only grin awkwardly.

Mrs. Meng on the side couldn't help being happy when she learned that they still had this connection, and hurriedly called the servants to prepare meals.

"I didn't expect Pavilion Master Murong and our Jiaojiao to have such a relationship. It's rare to meet again, so we have to celebrate today."

Mrs. Meng wanted to invite someone to dinner, so she could entertain them.

After all, Murong Zi's strength should not be underestimated. If he is willing to support the Meng family, the Meng family will definitely be able to move forward.

"Mrs. Meng, can I have a chat with the eldest lady alone?" Murong Zi took the opportunity to ask.

He finally saw that Mrs. Meng's attitude seemed to be gentle, but in fact she was worse than Mr. Meng - Mrs. Meng didn't care about Shen Jiaojiao at all.

For example, when he asked to marry Shen Jiaojiao earlier, Mrs. Meng clearly had some intention, but she didn't say it out loud.

Where is this mother-in-law?

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Meng agreed.

"Since you have a fate with Jiaojiao, it's not a bad idea to have a chat, but the maid must be present." He turned to look at Shen Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, you and Pavilion Master Murong should go to the flower hall to reminisce about the past."

"If Master Murong has anything to do, just tell him here." Shen Jiaojiao declined politely.

She didn't want to be alone with Murong Zi.

The man's paranoid indifference in Yichun Court made her tremble with fear.

Today I have changed my appearance of being glib again...

"It's just catching up on old times. Don't you even give me this little face?" Murong Zi narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
