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

Shen Qinglan has never been the kind of person who acts impulsively.

Although she wanted to help Gu Changqing avoid death in his previous life, she was not such a blind and impulsive person.

Logically speaking, if Jiang Ningshuang could be prevented from entering the palace, she would not have become Concubine Ning, and naturally, Gu Changqing's life would not have been implicated.

But in fact, whether Jiang Ningshuang is the noble lady Ning is just her guess and remains to be discussed.

So if she just wanted to save Gu Changqing, there was no need for her to take such a risk.

But it just so happens that...

The Eighth Prince has just been suspected by Emperor Jingren. In order to appease the emperor, the Eighth Prince will definitely offer Jiang Ningshuang in advance.

Regardless of whether Emperor Jingren was fond of women, the Eighth Prince had shown his loyalty and filial piety to Emperor Jingren.

Therefore, the key point is not whether Jiang Ningshuang is favored by Emperor Jingren, but whether the Eighth Prince does it or not.

In this case, the person behind the scenes will definitely take action!

The person behind the scenes would cut off his own arm to get rid of Wang Jian and put the blame on the Eighth Prince. He would not allow the Eighth Prince to get away with it so easily!

Therefore, this person behind the scenes will definitely interfere when the Eighth Prince offers Jiang Ningshuang...

Although Shen Qinglan intended to find out who was behind this, he had not yet thought of a way. But now...

Jiang Ningshuang is an opportunity!

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan's hands gently played with the teacup, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised as he said:

"If we want to find out who is behind this, Jiang Ningshuang is the best chess piece. We can kill three birds with one stone."

At this point, Shen Qinglan suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and asked with a sidelong glance:

"By the way, where is Xie Wanying?"

"Early this morning, the old princess sent Nanny Gui to personally send Xie Wanying away, and the mansion is now at peace."

Although Shuwen felt that letting Xie Wanying leave alive was too easy for her, it was ultimately the decision of her masters and she couldn't say much.

Shen Qinglan placed the teacup in his hand on the table, stood up, and said with a smile:

"Xie Wanying was sent away. I'm sure her mother must be sad. Let's go and take a look."

"Yes……"

In the old princess's room.

At this moment, smoke was rising from the huge bronze crane incense burner.

The whole house was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

The old Princess Zhan was wearing a royal blue headband, sitting on the bed, looking at Shen Qinglan who was feeling her pulse with a hint of concern in her eyes, and said:

"You, kid, there are so many things going on in the mansion, it's enough to tire you out. I'm fine anyway, I can just ask a doctor to come, why do you need to come here and trouble yourself?"

Shen Qinglan just smiled when she heard this, moved her hand away, asked Nanny Gui to bring paper and pen, wrote a prescription, and said:

"My mother is not feeling well, so my daughter-in-law has to come and see her. Besides, how can an outsider's medical skills compare to my daughter-in-law's?"

After Shen Qinglan wrote down the prescription, she handed it to Aunt Gui and instructed:

"Madame Gui, have someone get some medicine. Take it three times a day with warm water. Take good care of mother and don't let her worry too much."

Fortunately, Princess Zhan was not in any serious condition. She had just been caught in the rain and caught a cold in the mountains. Coupled with Xie Wanying's incident, she was sad and fell ill.

Fortunately, it is just a cold that has entered the body. I just need to take good care of myself. It is much better than being sick and unable to get up after returning from Xiangshan Temple in my previous life.

After Nanny Gui received the prescription, she couldn't help but glance at the old princess and complained to Shen Qinglan:

"The old princess is stubborn, and I can't control her. Princess, please try to persuade her."

"You wicked slave, you actually spoke ill of me in front of Qing Lan?"

When Princess Lao Zhan heard Nanny Gui complaining, she scolded her with a mixture of amusement and anger.

Nanny Gui knew that the old princess was not really angry, but she also quickly bowed and begged for mercy:

"I dare not, but the old princess's own health is more important. Don't harm your own body for irrelevant things."

When Shen Qinglan heard this, she naturally knew that the old Princess Zhan was still sad about Xie Wanying.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, I have been raising him since he was a child, how can I let him go so easily?

However, the old princess had the heart to send the person away, which was already the limit.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan spoke softly and asked:

"Mother, do you want to thank the girl's mother?"

"Ah... Hui'er has been treated harshly since she was a child because of her unusual appearance, but she is a kind-hearted person. She finally found a husband of her dreams, and he treats her very well. I was happy for her, but I didn't expect..."

The old princess couldn't help but sigh and shook her head when she said this. She continued with red eyes:

"I didn't expect that there would be unexpected events. Hui'er's husband's family was a wealthy local businessman. They were targeted by someone with ulterior motives. Overnight, the entire family was killed and their family was destroyed!"

"Wanying happened to be away from home, so she escaped and came to me for help. I always treated her as my own daughter, but I didn't expect..."

The old princess could no longer continue speaking and burst into tears.

While Shen Qinglan was comforting the old princess, she suddenly asked:

"Mother said that Miss Xie's mother looks different from ordinary people? Is she sick?"

The old princess wiped her tears and explained with a sigh: "The doctor said that he is a white child, his hair and skin are as white as snow."

"White?"

Albino, also known as white spot disease, Shen Qinglan naturally knew about this disease, but...

"Qinglan, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

The old princess saw Shen Qinglan frowning slightly and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan pursed her lips and said seriously:

"According to medical books, vitiligo is passed down from father to son and from mother to daughter. If one of the parents suffers from the disease, then the children will most likely also suffer from it."

"What? Is this true?" The old princess's face changed drastically when she heard this. She squeezed Shen Qinglan's hand in shock, and was shocked.

In a flash, Shen Qinglan's mind flashed with inspiration, and he thought of what Cuiping, Xie Wanying's personal maid, said before she died: Xie Wanying is dead!

Xie Wanying...dead?

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan hurriedly told Princess Lao Zhan what Cuiping had said at that time.

The old Princess Zhan trembled all over and murmured in disbelief:

"Yes, yes... When I saw her that year, she should have been only six or seven years old, but she was tall at that time, and didn't look like she was only six or seven years old..."

"But at that time, I was grieving over Hui'er's death, and only this girl escaped here, so I didn't think much about it. But, but if..."

Thinking that Xie Wanying might really be dead, the old princess almost fainted!

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan quickly comforted the old princess and said, "Don't worry, mother. I'll have someone call Miss Xie back to ask her first."

"Yes! Call her back! You must call her back! If she is not Xie Wanying! Then where did the real Wanying go? If...if Wanying really met with an accident! I, I will never forgive her!"

The old princess fainted in anger.

Fortunately, Shen Qinglan was still there. She used golden needles to stabilize the heart pulse of the old Princess Zhan, and gave Madam Gui a few words before leaving.

As soon as they left the old princess's courtyard, Shen Qinglan instructed Shuwen:

"Send someone to find Xie Wanying immediately, and also send someone to check the pass Xie Wanying used to come to the capital."

In fact, Shen Qinglan already had some guesses in his mind.

After all, if Xie Wanying was really only six or seven years old at the time, how could a little girl like her have the ability to travel through mountains and rivers to come to the capital?

The real Xie Wanying is probably dead...

The old princess must have guessed this, which is why she was so angry. After all... if Xie Wanying was really dead, then how could the hands of this fake Xie Wanying be clean?

How could the old Princess Zhan tolerate the enemy who she raised and killed her best friend's own daughter?
