Chapter 98 Interrogating them
The two walked into the main room from the outside and found Mrs. Meng whispering in Qingqi's ear.

Seeing them coming in, Mrs. Meng immediately stopped talking and waved her hand to Qingqi, asking her to leave first.

After Qing Barley left, Mrs. Meng took the lead in attacking.

"Jiaojiao, what is your relationship with Pavilion Master Murong? Why have you been out for so long?"

"Didn't my adoptive mother tell you? Don't trust people outside. What if they want to lie to you?

"It's important to be on guard against others. You should keep your distance from that Murong Pavilion Master in the future. It's best not to meet him again."

Listening to Mrs. Meng's remark, Shen Jiaojiao wanted to laugh inexplicably.

She also really smiled, with a hint of sarcasm hanging on her lips.

"Why don't you, stepmother, first see who Master Murong Pavilion has sent?"

Mrs. Meng's eyes widened, suspecting that she heard wrongly.

The adopted daughter who has always been obedient will actually disobey her elders?

Who gave her the confidence to talk to herself like this? !
Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng became even more angry. She slammed the table and stood up.

"Shen Jiaojiao, it seems that your wings have become stiff and you don't even want to listen to your adoptive mother."

Shen Jiaojiao put away the smile on her face, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and said softly: "Jiaojiao doesn't dare."

"I think you are very brave!"

Mrs. Meng was still angry and wanted to scold her again, but was interrupted by Meng Hui's voice.

"Mom, Jiaojiao has always been sensible. She knows it without you having to tell her." After saying that, Meng Hui turned to look at the door, "Guangshan, please bring someone in."

Mrs. Meng was caught off guard and watched helplessly as Guangshan pressed the person in.

The first person to come in was Miss Zhou, who looked haggard. Behind her, escorted by servants, were several strong men dressed as servants.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at these men carefully and felt that they looked very familiar, but she didn't recognize who they were.

Meng Hui had a good memory, and he could recognize at a glance that all these men were born in the same family, and their parents all worked in Meng's house.

He knew clearly in his heart that this matter was absolutely inseparable from Meng Wan.

"It seems that this is indeed the 'Meng Mansion's internal affairs'." Meng Hui said.

Mrs. Meng is in charge of the central government, and all the elders in the family believe in her. Mrs. Meng is the only one who can control the children of these families.

If it was really Mrs. Meng who did it, how could she be sitting upright at this moment?

It can only be Meng Wan.

Mrs. Meng apparently also saw clearly the faces of the people kneeling on the ground. Their expressions became extremely ugly, and her hands hanging by her sides were clenched into fists.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at Meng Hui pretending to be confused, "Do you recognize them, brother?"

"Of course I recognize them. They are all sons of the Meng family." Meng Hui replied.

Seeing the conversation between the brother and sister, Mrs. Meng seemed to have picked up something to say, and suddenly asked: "Ah Hui, why did your attitude change so quickly?"

Meng Hui didn't understand what Mrs. Meng meant and turned to look over.

"What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Meng took a deep breath and said, "You have always disliked Jiaojiao and were very strict with her. But since the merchant came back, you seem to have become a different person and you are much better to her."

"I noticed that the relationship between you two brothers and sisters is much closer..."

Meng Hui raised his eyebrows, looked at Mrs. Meng for a long time, and replied with a slight smile: "Shen Jiaojiao and I have been close since childhood. I used to be ignorant and thought she didn't like me, so I alienated her."

"In recent days, I have discovered that Jiaojiao is very dependent on me as her brother, so naturally she needs to be closer to her."

When Meng Hui said the word 'brother', he lowered his head and looked at Shen Jiaojiao.

Only she could understand the deep meaning of the man's lowered eyes.

Shen Jiaojiao blinked, lowered her head and said nothing.

Mrs. Meng was choked by her eldest son's words, and she gradually became suspicious in her heart.

She suspected that Meng Hui knew that - she deliberately let Shen Jiaojiao hear it.

But she did it perfectly back then, and it was revealed that Shen Jiaojiao was eavesdropping. She was just talking about things with Mr. Meng in the room, so how could Shen Jiaojiao have the face to talk about it outside? Mrs. Meng calmed down and smiled meaningfully at Shen Jiaojiao.

"So that's it. It seems that Jiaojiao has grown up too."

When Shen Jiaojiao saw that her stepmother did not dare to argue with her stepbrother, but she took it upon herself to vent her anger, a hint of discomfort arose in her heart.

She replied respectfully: "Jiaojiao and her adopted brother are the most intimate relationship in the world."

These words undoubtedly pleased Meng Hui.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the woman beside him, wishing he could hold her in his arms.

But there were many people in the room, so he endured what was in his mind and made no further moves.

"This is natural." Mrs. Meng smiled awkwardly, and then looked at Meng Hui, "Your father is not in the house, why don't you wait for him to come back before interrogating him?"

Meng Hui shook his head, "No need, I have already sent someone to invite Yuan Li and Meng Wan."

"But, sir..."

Mrs. Meng wanted to delay further, but was interrupted by Meng Hui's words.

"Miss Zhou, this matter has nothing to do with the elders. There is no need to trouble dad. Mom can make the decision."

Shen Jiaojiao was very happy when she heard her adopted brother's words.

The sworn brother is going to stand up for her!

Did the adoptive brother also see that the adoptive mother wanted to fool her?

Mrs. Meng's face was very ugly, but she didn't say anything else.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Shen Jiaojiao felt relieved. She lowered her head and took a closer look at the men. They looked familiar indeed. They must have been born in the same family.

"Brother, why are their mouths full of blood?" she asked.

Meng Hui looked at Guangshan and motioned for him to answer.

"Reporting to the eldest lady, Pavilion Master Murong was afraid that they would commit suicide, so he knocked out all their teeth and tied their hands and feet to prevent them from moving." Guangshan answered.

"Murong Pavilion Master is indeed cautious." Meng Hui nodded, approving of Murong Zi's behavior, and then told Guangshan, "Keep an eye on the people. If they die, I will take care of you."

These words were obviously meant for Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng's face was as dark as water, her mouth opened again and again, and finally she could only sit back on the armchair angrily.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside.

Chen Yuanli and Meng Wan rushed over.

"Brother, what happened?" As soon as Chen Yuanli entered the door, he saw several boys kneeling on the ground, as well as Meng Hui and Shen Jiaojiao standing aside.

Meng Hui nodded to Chen Yuanli, and then pointed to Miss Zhou who was huddled in the corner.

"Yuanli, see for yourself."

Meng Wan didn't notice anything wrong in the room, her face was full of joy, and she deliberately walked up to Shen Jiaojiao to show her the ambiguous marks on her neck.

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at Meng Wan and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What's there to be proud of in that situation?
She didn't want to talk to Meng Wan at all, she just wanted to convict Meng Wan of his crime as soon as possible.

When Mrs. Meng saw that Meng Wan was already at this moment and still thinking about the little things about the love between her children, she felt so cruel that she quickly called him over.

"Wan'er, what did you do today?" Mrs. Meng asked in a low voice.

Meng Wan shook her head in confusion, "No."

Mrs. Meng winked down.

Meng Wan followed her mother's line of sight and looked over, and when she saw clearly the face of the boy kneeling underneath, her face turned pale with fright, and the blood drained from her lips.

"Why are they here?!" Meng Wan blurted out.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Meng Wan.

As soon as these words came out, there was no need for further interrogation, and it was directly confirmed what Meng Wan had committed.
