Chapter 97: Handle with care?

"Jiaojiao has met her adoptive mother."

Shen Jiaojiao endured the sourness in her heart and stepped forward to salute Mrs. Meng.

"Hey, you kid..." Mrs. Meng waved to her with a kind smile, "Come to the foster mother."

She doesn't want to go.

She just wanted to find out who was in the carriage as soon as possible.

If it was really Miss Zhou, even if her adoptive mother wanted to excuse Meng Wan, she would not let it go easily.

How can we handle new grudges and old grudges lightly?
She must take revenge today!
"I'm sorry Jiaojiao can't obey. I must first ask Pavilion Master Murong who is in the carriage."

Shen Jiaojiao maintained her saluting posture and looked respectful.

"I sent people to search all over the Meng Mansion, but could not find Miss Zhou. I only got the news from the concierge that she was kidnapped out of the house. Only if I confirm that it is Miss Zhou in the carriage, can I feel relieved."

Hearing the word 'Miss Zhou', Murong Zi looked for an opening and interrupted: "That's Miss Zhou."

She turned back in surprise and looked at Murong Zi, "Really? The person in the carriage is Miss Zhou?"

"Yes, I happened to be passing by the street at the back door of Meng's Mansion, and I saw a girl being tied up hand and foot by a few big men and thrown into a carriage. I thought something had happened to you, so I took action."

"Unexpectedly, the person in the carriage was not you, and was covered in wounds. So I had those big men tied up and sent this girl back."

"Don't worry, that useless man of yours. I didn't touch his aunt's finger. I asked the maid to take care of her and ask her name."

After hearing the whole story, Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to pat her chest.

"Fortunately, you met me. Otherwise, how would Miss Zhou have any chance of surviving?"

Murong Zi raised her eyebrows, "Then, who makes me a nice person?"

"Where are they? Bring them in quickly!" Shen Jiaojiao said.

Mrs. Meng, who was sitting at the top, finally couldn't sit still after hearing that everyone was caught by Murong Zi.

She guessed that Meng Wan was most likely responsible for this.

But the murder of his aunt must not be admitted. If word spread to the outside world, what reputation would Meng Wan have?
"Murong Pavilion Master, how are you sure that Aunt Zhou was tied up and left the house? Maybe she had a bad intention and wanted to escape privately?" asked Mrs. Meng.

Upon hearing this, everyone present instantly understood that Mrs. Meng was going to use the excuse of "running away with her foreign husband" to convict Miss Zhou.

Murong Zi was not stupid either, and kept evading: "I have brought all these people, I am just waiting for people from your house to identify them."

"Since it is an internal matter of the Meng Mansion, Pavilion Master Murong doesn't need to worry about it."

Seeing that he didn't accept the move, Mrs. Meng could only issue an order to expel the guest, at least not to let outsiders see Meng Wan's bad side.

Murong Zi nodded, "I just met Mr. Meng at the door and handed him over. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he nodded towards Shen Jiaojiao and Meng Hui.

Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly chased him out and stopped him at the door.

"Master Murong Pavilion, please stay."

Murong Zi had heard her footsteps a long time ago and deliberately walked outside before stopping.

"What's wrong?" The man turned to look at her.

"I want to say thank you."

As she spoke, she bent down and saluted Murong Zi.

"Thank you Master Murong Pavilion for rescuing Miss Zhou. She helped me before. When I didn't find her today, I felt extremely guilty. Fortunately, you passed through the back door of Meng Mansion and rescued her."

Murong Zi raised her lips and smiled, "Do you really think I was just passing by?"

"Isn't it?" She raised her head blankly and looked at the man.

"Of course not. I specially sent people to guard the Meng Mansion to ensure your safety." Murong Zi took a step closer and stared at her with lowered eyes.
"Miss, I said I'm here to repay your kindness."

"This..." She opened her mouth blankly, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Murong Zi smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, you don't believe me even if I say it, so let's leave it at that."

Seeing him turning around to leave, Shen Jiaojiao quickly called him to stop him.

"Master Murong Pavilion, I have one more thing to ask you." "What is it?" Murong Zi stopped.

"I would like to ask you, has the mysterious organization received the task of assassinating Wang Zhu today? Today is the day."

She deliberately emphasized the time, fearing that the other noble person would be busy and forget it.

Murong Zi tilted his head and looked at her for a long time, then said: "There is no such task arranged today. Also, who is Wang Zhu? Is it important?"

She quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Murong Zi, then nodded without explaining.

"Miss, no matter what happens to you, you can tell me." Murong Zi said seriously.

After a brief thought, he realized that Shen Jiaojiao's life in the Meng Mansion was not as satisfactory as she said.

If you really want it, why do you want to protect a young boy who is being hunted by a killer?

Who would take action against a young boy?
Murong Zi concluded that this young man named Wang Zhu must know some important secret, and it was related to Shen Jiaojiao, otherwise she would not be so interested.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, thank you."

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, with a small pear dimple embedded in the corner of her mouth, looking a little childish.

"What are you whispering about?"

Meng Hui suddenly walked out of the room, stood behind Shen Jiaojiao, and leaned close to her ear.

"Why does it take so long to send someone off?"

Hot breath hit her ears.

She was not as shy as before, she just tilted her head to the right and said nothing.

"This is a secret between me and the eldest lady." Murong Zi smiled mysteriously at Meng Hui and turned to leave.

Meng Hui raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Jiaojiao inquiringly, "What did you say to him?"

"I thanked him and asked him if he had sent anyone to assassinate Wang Zhu today." She told the truth.

Yumei is a sworn brother, and even if she wants to lie, it can be easily exposed.

It would be better to make things clear directly.

Seeing that she was quite candid, Meng Hui turned his head and kissed her ear, "You're so good."

The small and delicate ears turned red instantly.

The cheeks and neck gradually turned pink.

She hurriedly took a step forward to avoid the man, then turned around and glared at him.

"Brother, this is the front yard!"

Meng Hui nodded, "Yes, I know."

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and whispered, "Don't do this, it's not good for others to see you."

Meng Hui lowered his eyes and looked at the top of her hair, wondering when the two of them would be able to appear openly in front of everyone.

But thinking of her almost paranoid love for Chen Yuanli, Meng Hui did not dare to push too hard.

The words that reached my mouth were swallowed back.

He comforted himself that the road had to be walked step by step, at least the little girl no longer resisted his approach.

He has a lifetime to wait for her to change his mind.

"Okay." Meng Hui took a step back and returned to the distant and indifferent sworn brother, "Shen Jiaojiao, mother lets you in."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "Yes."

"Wait for me here."

After saying these words, Meng Hui walked outside and ordered Guangshan to bring Miss Zhou and the boys in, then turned back and accompanied her into the house.

A faint warmth surged in her heart.

The adopted brother is afraid that the adopted mother will make things difficult for her.
