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

Xie Wanying's heart skipped a beat when she saw Huo Junyu's puzzled look. She quickly explained with red eyes:

"I, I just, I just feel sorry for you..."

Seeing Xie Wanying's face full of sorrow and tears, Huo Junyu suddenly felt guilty and apologized quickly:

"Sister Xie, don't be sad. It's Yu'er's fault. If you feel sorry for me and can't bear to watch it, then go back with Third Sister. Yu'er is a man. He can accept punishment but he can't admit defeat."

Seeing Huo Junyu like this, Xie Wanying forced a smile and could only leave with Nanny Gui and the others.

After Shen Qinglan brought Shuyu into the inner room, he frowned and treated the wound on Shuyu's hand.

A lot of fragments were stuck in my hands and I needed to pull them out piece by piece.

This process was naturally not easy, but even so, Shuyu just had a pale face, pursed her lips, sweated, and did not say a word.

After finally treating the wound and bandaging it, Shen Qinglan stretched out his index finger and tapped Shuyu's forehead, saying in a reproachful tone:

"Why is a girl so tough? Don't you know it hurts?"

Looking at Shuyu's appearance, Shen Qinglan thought of how Shuyu looked when he was murdered in his previous life.

Her rival knew how important Shuyu was to her, so he captured her and wanted to torture her to find her weaknesses.

But Shuyu didn't reveal a single thing and died under torture...

Thinking of the miserable scene when she found Shuyu and collected her body in her previous life, Shen Qinglan's eyes couldn't help but become red and wet.

Seeing this, Shu Yu quickly reached out to wipe Shen Qinglan's tears, but then she saw her hands were wrapped like dumplings, and said anxiously:

"Don't be sad, Miss. Shuyu really doesn't feel any pain. This little injury is nothing! I'm very strong!"

"Fortunately, Shuyu is fine now. After all, the Second Young Master is of noble status, so let's forget about the matter of the Young Lady, so as not to upset the old princess."

Shen Qinglan knew that Shuyu was thinking about her, but unfortunately this girl didn't care about her at all. She couldn't help but feel distressed and moved.

but……

"Silly girl, you are mine, and you represent my dignity. If even you can be bullied at will, how can I gain a foothold in the mansion in the future?"

"Although today's incident happened suddenly, it is also a good opportunity to make a warning. If I don't punish severely, will anyone respect me? Respect me? Fear me?"

She originally planned to take it step by step, but she wanted to do it step by step only after she had received the respect she deserved.

If Huo Junyu dared to break into her bedroom today and others followed suit tomorrow, what dignity would she still have as the mistress of the palace?

Shu Yu heard this and knew that Shen Qinglan was right, but he couldn't help but look at the weather outside and said:

"But it's going to rain outside. If I catch a cold..."

"He has caught a cold. I will treat him."

After Nanny Gui returned to Princess Lao Zhan's courtyard, she settled Huo Jingyi first before going to find Princess Lao Zhan and told her everything that had happened today.

At the end, Aunt Gui asked with some concern:

"Master, isn't it too severe for the new princess to punish the second young master like this?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Lao Zhan laughed and shook her head.

"A loving mother often spoils her children. I think Qinglan has done a good job. In the past, we spoiled these children to no end. If Qinglan can help them now, it will be a blessing for them."

"But the Second Young Master has never suffered this kind of pain..."

Nanny Gui also watched these children grow up, and for a moment she felt a little bit sorry for them.

"It is precisely because you have never experienced it that you should experience it, so as to avoid developing a character that is ignorant of the immensity of the world."

The old Princess Zhan knew how indulgent she and the old Prince Zhan had been to their children in the past.

After all, Huo Zhanting had been away from home fighting for most of the year and had no interest in women, which almost made the old couple think that Huo Zhanting would never get married in his life, and they were anxious and angry at home every day.

But Huo Zhanting suddenly brought back three children. Although they were a little surprised, they were more happy and couldn't help but spoil them a little more.

But looking back, they also found that they seemed to have spoiled their children a little too much, but they couldn't bear to correct it.

It was also because of this that Princess Zhan wanted to find a princess for Huo Zhanting to discipline him.

Now that Shen Qinglan handled the situation properly, I felt relieved.

“My master is right. It’s a pity that Miss Xie is obsessed with fighting the king…” Nanny Gui sighed and shook her head.

Before Shen Qinglan entered the mansion, everyone actually thought that Xie Wanying would become the mistress of Prince Zhan's mansion, so they were all very respectful to Xie Wanying.

But for some reason, in the end, Princess Zhan did not choose Xie Wanying.

Even Nanny Gui, her personal attendant, did not understand this point.

Upon hearing this, Princess Lao Zhan sighed and leaned back on the chaise longue. She reached out and touched the headband on her forehead, squinting her eyes and whispering:

"Wanying is too selfish and unworthy of being the mistress of a family."

"Selfish motive?" Upon hearing this, Nanny Gui was shocked and a little surprised.

But she soon remembered that when Huo Jingyi was unable to speak at the beginning today, she was just sulking, and she had originally planned to wait for Shen Qinglan to come out before asking her in detail.

But later, Xie Wanying brought Huo Junyu to visit Huo Jingyi and said some ambiguous words, which frightened Huo Jingyi and angered Huo Junyu...

Thinking of this, Nanny Gui's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the old Princess Zhan in surprise:

"Thank you, Miss..."

However, Princess Zhan did not say anything more. She just sighed softly, closed her eyes and took a nap.

Nanny Gui understood that the old princess still cared about their old relationship.

Just as Nanny Gui was about to leave, Princess Zhan suddenly spoke:

"Tomorrow is the day Qinglan returns home. Go to my storeroom and pick out some good things. Let...well, let Yuge go back with her tomorrow. Ting'er can't come back, but she can't be wronged."

"Yes……"

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye for others, but Huo Junyu knelt down with stars in his eyes.

The sky was already starting to get dark, and Huo Junyu could only feel his stomach rumbling with hunger.

He really wanted to throw a tantrum like he used to, just get up and leave.

But for some reason, as long as he thought that Shen Qinglan would look down on him if he did this, he forced himself to endure it.

until……

"hiss……"

A drop of rain fell and hit Huo Junyu's face. The cold touch made Huo Junyu gasp.

He raised his eyes and saw that the sky had long been covered with dark clouds. Strands of transparent silk were dancing in the air, swaying lightly and falling down.

The slightly cool rain, the cold night, and the chilly wind made Huo Junyu unable to help but look in the direction of Shen Qinglan.

The dim yellow light seemed to carry a sense of warmth, which made his current appearance even more desolate.

Huo Junyu couldn't help feeling a little sad and aggrieved. Thinking of Shen Qinglan's warm hand when she came in that day, he couldn't help biting his lips, tears welling up in his eyes.

He knew that since she was not their biological mother, she would never be able to treat them sincerely, but why did he still have hope before?

Just when Huo Junyu was still sad, he intuitively felt a shadow covering his head, blocking all the wind and rain. He looked up in surprise.

He saw the woman in front of him, holding an umbrella, with the light behind her blurring her face, but emitting a faint halo from her body, like a fairy descending to earth, and as beautiful as the mother in his dreams.

"you……"
