The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Marquis Jing'an's expression changed.

If this is true, the immense wealth and glory he had been looking forward to might become his death warrant!

He is the one who personally escorts the weapons. If there is a problem with the weapons, he will definitely be the first person to be held accountable!

"Are you sure?" Marquis Jing'an's heart was pounding and he looked at Shen Qinglan nervously.

Shen Qinglan didn't hesitate and nodded directly.

Marquis Jing'an could no longer sit still, and immediately stood up and tried to walk out, saying as he walked:

"No! Then I'll go back and refuse this job!"

"Father, no!"

Shen Qinglan grabbed Jing'an Hou in time, and then said to Jing'an Hou:

"Father, this is dangerous, but it is indeed an opportunity for you!"

"Chance? My life is about to be lost, why would I care about the chance?"

Marquis Jing'an is not stupid either.

Anyone who dares to attack these weapons at this time must be someone he can't afford to offend!

The other party will not ignore him just because he is Marquis Jing'an!

Since the other party dared to do this, he must have decided to let him take the blame!

If he doesn't quit this job, not only him, but even the entire Jing'an Marquis Mansion will not be able to bear this responsibility!

Seeing Marquis Jing'an retreat, Shen Qinglan looked cold and asked:

"Father is afraid of death. Then, father is afraid that after a hundred years, he will be in the underworld and will not be able to face his ancestors?"

"Father, you should know! To be able to continue the glory of Jing'an Marquis Mansion is the wish of several generations! But now that you have such a great opportunity in front of you, you give it up?"

Shen Qinglan's words were so powerful that Marquis Jing'an couldn't help but feel a little moved, and the expression on his face relaxed a little.

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan pulled Jing'an Hou and asked him to sit on a chair. He then poured him a cup of tea and placed it in Jing'an Hou's hand before continuing:

"Misfortunes are born from the same source, and blessings are born from the same source. Father, since we have the upper hand in this matter, we may be able to turn that bad thing into a good thing."

Shen Qinglan returned to the Marquis' Mansion not to make Marquis Jing'an back down!

She thought about it, and it was obvious that the Zhan Palace was now caught in the center of the storm. If something really happened to the Zhan Prince, the ending of the Zhan Palace in the previous life would be repeated!

In fact, she originally didn't have a strong desire to save the King of War.

If you can save him, save him. If you can't, you can only blame his bad luck.

In the end, she would fulfill her responsibilities as Princess Zhan and look after Prince Zhan's mansion for him.

But now...

Things might have been involved in the fight for the throne, and she couldn't just sit there and do nothing!

If Prince Zhan's Mansion was at the center of the storm, it would no longer be something that could be protected by a single woman in the harem!

Only if Huo Zhanting survives can she display her abilities!

Therefore, Huo Zhanting's life must not be in any danger!

Even if he was worshipped as a Buddha, Shen Qinglan had to keep this Buddha safe and sound in the mansion!

Marquis Jing'an's heart was pounding. He took a sip of tea with great effort. After calming down, his mind became clearer.

Shen Qinglan was right. Although someone was plotting against him, now that he knew about it, there might be other ways to avoid it!

and……

I took the risk to deliver this batch of weapons without any problems to Huo Zhanting, which can be regarded as a real help to Huo Zhanting!

When he comes back, will I still remember the kindness of my father-in-law?

By then, if he asked for the title on his behalf, wouldn't that be more beneficial than him going through that whole process in vain?

After all, even if no one exchanged the weapon for him, although he had made a contribution, it was only part of his job.

But now...

The opportunity to make a great contribution seemed to be placed right in front of Shen Qinglan!

Moreover, he had a feeling that this time, he was the closest to achieving his wish!

Thinking of this, Marquis Jing'an also had an idea in mind, so he looked up at Shen Qinglan and asked:

"Do you have an idea?"

"Yes, it's very risky, but the success rate is 80%!"

"What do you think……"

Shen Qinglan did not hesitate and told Marquis Jing'an the details of his plan.

Marquis Jing'an looked at what his eldest daughter said. Her words were clear and well-organized, and her calm appearance...it made Marquis Jing'an a little dazed.

At last, Marquis Jing'an nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll find someone to arrange it."

"Father, be careful."

Marquis Jing'an nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Lan'er, you and your mother...really look alike."

Shen Qinglan looked up at Marquis Jing'an in surprise.

Ever since her mother Cui passed away, Marquis Jing'an had rarely been close to her, let alone talked about Cui with her.

But now...

Shen Qinglan looked at the flash of reminiscence and guilt in Marquis Jing'an's eyes, and couldn't help but say with a twinkle in his eyes:

"My mother passed away so long ago that Lan'er is almost forgetting what she looked like."

Jing'an Hou smiled, thought for a moment and said:

"Wait a minute, let Uncle Fu go to my study and get you a portrait of your mother."

Shen Qinglan was shocked. She really didn't know that there was a portrait of her mother hidden in Marquis Jing'an's study!

Shen Qinglan immediately bowed to Marquis Jing'an and said, "Thank you, father."

Soon, the butler Fu Bo took the portrait and handed it to Shen Qinglan respectfully, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"My dear Miss, the fact that the Marquis gave you this painting shows that he truly loves you."

Shen Qinglan looked up, somewhat puzzled, but Uncle Fu said:

"The Marquis often looked at the portrait of the late Madam for a long time, and he was reluctant to let anyone touch it. He always finished looking at it himself and then carefully put it away, without asking anyone else to do it."

Shen Qinglan took the portrait, listened to Uncle Fu's words, and said with a smile:

"My father has loved my mother for many years. If my mother knew about this, she would be happy."

The smile on Shen Qinglan's face suddenly disappeared after he got on the carriage.

When Huo Junyu and Shu Wenyu, who were waiting in the carriage, saw this, they couldn't help but feel that the temperature of the entire carriage had dropped! They shuddered.

"Princess? What's wrong with you?" Shu Yu asked cautiously.

Shen Qinglan shook his head and unfolded the painting in his hand.

After looking at the portrait in Shen Qinglan's hand, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

"Is this the wife of the late marquis?" Shu Wen took a look at the person in the portrait and spoke immediately.

"Yes, it's my mother."

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and then she repeated what Uncle Fu had told her.

Shuwen and Shuyu looked at each other in surprise.

"This Marquis actually misses the late Marquis' wife so much? He doesn't show it at all on weekdays." Shu Yu said with some emotion.

"I thought he had forgotten the old one because he had a new lover, but now it seems that I have misunderstood the Marquis." Shuwen spoke up.

Shen Qinglan didn't say anything, but Huo Junyu crawled over and took a curious look at the portrait, then asked seriously:

"Is it a portrait of my grandmother? It doesn't look old, and it doesn't look like it's been opened and looked at often. There's not even a wrinkle on it. It looks like it was just copied."

After Huo Junyu finished speaking, he found that several eyes in the carriage were fixed on him, which made his hair stand on end.

"Did I say something wrong?"
