Chapter 93: Reversal of Confession
Under the gaze of Murong Zi's fox eyes, Shen Jiaojiao refused again.

"Master Murong Pavilion, I don't want to..."

Mrs. Meng interrupted her involuntarily and urged: "Jiaojiao, just go. My stepmother asked Qingqi to stand in the flower hall. Nothing will happen."

She pursed her lips and wondered what the highland barley top was for?

But after all, she was filial, and she didn't want to offend her adoptive mother, so she reluctantly stood up.

Meng Hui silently took back the hand on her shoulder.

This action awakened Shen Jiaojiao.

Her eyes flashed slightly and she looked at Murong Zi with a smile.

"Since we are reminiscing about old times, we should call our sworn brother together. If I didn't have my sworn brother's money back then, I wouldn't be able to help you."

Murong Zi glanced at Meng Hui and did not refuse.

The three of them soon arrived at the flower hall.

Because of Meng Hui's presence, the servants around him dispersed.

Murong Zi suppressed her smile, stood opposite Meng Hui, and asked coldly: "What is your relationship with Jiaojiao?"

"What do you think our relationship is?" Meng Hui asked with raised eyebrows.

In front of Murong Zi, he did not shy away from the relationship between the two, as if he was sure that the other party would not leak the matter out.

Murong Zi had a straight face and looked at Meng Hui for a long time before turning around and approaching Shen Jiaojiao.

"Miss, are you willing?"

Shen Jiaojiao looked confused, "What are you talking about?"

Why does the topic jump so quickly?
Murong Zi thought for a while and changed the question.

"How are you doing now? Do you need me to support you? If you are willing, I can help you sort out these trivial matters in the Meng Mansion."

When she heard the word 'support', she lowered her head in embarrassment.

His eyes flickered, not daring to look at Murong Zi's expression.

Why did she ask Murong Zi to make such a promise back then?

It’s all Chen Sesame’s rotten millet thing, and this person keeps mentioning it. It’s really embarrassing!

"Don't you want to say it? It seems that you are really not doing well." Murong Zi thought she was embarrassed to say it in front of Meng Hui, and sighed and shook her head, "I was late."

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head hurriedly, "No, no, no, you are overthinking, I am living a good life."

She thought for a moment and added.

"You should forget all those childlike words I told you before. I was young and ignorant at that time..."

Murong Zi's eyes darkened, "Do you know why I call you Miss?"

"Why?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

She was also curious because this person always called her Miss.

Murong Zi knelt down and solemnly promised: "In front of you, I will always be that down and out boy. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to survive today. I will never forget your life-saving grace."

"I, Murong Zi, will never do anything to harm you. I will only be your strongest support."

Shen Jiaojiao was so frightened that she hid behind Meng Hui.

She didn't know how to deal with such a thing.

The dignified master of the mysterious organization was actually showing his favor to her...

"You, you, you, you get up first." She stammered.

Murong Zi naturally did not want to kneel to Meng Hui, so she immediately stood up on her toes.

Seeing that she was hiding behind Meng Hui and seemed to be very dependent on him, Murong Zi secretly glared at Meng Hui, and when she looked at Shen Jiaojiao, she changed back to smiling.

"Miss, I have something important to tell you."

"What's the matter?" she asked hesitantly.

Murong Zi looked at Meng Hui and said, "Mr. Meng, can you step aside for a moment?"

Meng Hui glanced at him, raised his hand and took Shen Jiaojiao into his arms, "Do you think I will avoid it?"

"Brother!" She stretched out her hand and pushed the big palm on her waist.

Murong Zi stared at the two of them calmly.

Seeing that although she was pushing her, her body did not reject Meng Hui at all, but instead leaned into the man's arms, Murong Zi was heartbroken. "I really came too late and let you be bullied by this bastard." He sighed heavily.

The corners of Meng Hui's lips curled up slightly, and he not only took away all the insults, but also sneered back.

"You are more than ten years older than Jiaojiao. It would be a waste to marry you."

Murong Zi was too lazy to fight with him and looked down at Shen Jiaojiao.

"The Meizhuang case is not that simple. It is not only the work of the Lin family, but also involves other forces."

"Other forces?" She was startled. "Aren't those few names in Lin'an City the only ones with names? Who else could be there?"

"We need to continue to investigate the details." Murong Zi said and glanced at Meng Hui, "You have guessed it a long time ago, so you just stood still, right?"

Meng Hui lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms without saying a word.

Shen Jiaojiao showed an expression of sudden realization.

"No wonder my sworn brother has never been sure. It turns out that's the reason."

When Murong Zi claimed credit before, she felt strange, why did Murong Zi find out so easily but her sworn brother didn't do anything?
Thinking about it now, the sworn brother should have known about the complicated situation behind the scenes early on and chose to stay put.

Unexpectedly, Murong Zi came out halfway.

"I want to go to the county government office." She looked up at Meng Hui.

Now that Murong Zi found out that the Lin family was involved in this matter, as the victim, how could she not go?

Meng Hui said 'hmm' and responded, "I'll take you there in the afternoon."

Shen Jiaojiao turned her attention to Murong Zi again, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Murong Zi glanced at Meng Hui vaguely and shook her head.

She keenly observed that Murong Zi seemed to be afraid of his adopted brother, and it was probably related to his adopted brother...

She suppressed her doubts and did not continue to ask.

The three of them returned to the main room, met up with the Meng family, and headed to the dining room together.

Lunch was not as awkward as imagined.

In addition to being unfriendly to Chen Yuanli, Murong Zi had a very kind attitude, especially towards Master Meng and Mrs. Meng, and had a pleasant conversation with Meng Hui.

After lunch, Meng Hui took Shen Jiaojiao out and saw Murong Zi off.

The three of them went straight to the government office and met Governor Jiang in the lobby.

"Why are you here? Where is Mr. Meng?" Governor Jiang hurried over holding his official hat.

It seemed that he had just rested when he was woken up by the yamen servant.

Meng Hui stepped aside and said to Shen Jiaojiao, "My sister-in-law wants to come and ask about the case."

Seeing her, Governor Jiang immediately changed his smile and walked forward eagerly, "Miss Shen is here too."

As he spoke, he glared at the Yamen servant beside him.

"What are you doing standing still? Hurry and serve tea."

Then he invited the three of them to sit down.

"Miss Shen, in the future you can just ask someone to come to the government office to ask questions. There is no need to go there in person."

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang," she said.

Governor Jiang was very pleased with this statement. He nodded repeatedly and was about to speak, but found a strange face mixed in.

"Can this young master please evade this matter? Important information about the case must not be leaked to the outside world."

Shen Jiaojiao quickly explained: "This is Murong Zi, and he sent yesterday's evidence."

"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Murong was a big help." Governor Jiang suddenly realized, "In that case, I have nothing to hide."

Governor Jiang quickly synchronized the information found in the past two days to the three of them.

It’s very different from what Mr. Meng said.

The personal and material evidence given by Murong Zi directly established the criminal facts of Mrs. Lin and the second wife.

Governor Jiang decisively ordered everyone in the Lin Mansion to be brought back to the government office for interrogation.

Mr. Lin kept silent, and after Mr. Meng left, he recanted his confession on the spot——

He firmly denied that he was involved, and pointed out that the so-called personal and material evidence were all fake evidence fabricated by others, except that he did not directly say that it was the Meng family who fabricated it.

"This is impossible!" Murong Zi stood up, with a face full of disbelief, and suddenly turned his head to look at Meng Hui, "Did you know that it was false evidence?"
