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

The people Shen Qinglan sent out came back not long after.

They had caught up with the carriage that was escorting Xie Wanying back, but the coachman and the maid were knocked unconscious, leaving only the empty carriage. As for Xie Wanying, she was nowhere to be found.

When Shen Qinglan heard the news, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Missing?"

"Miss, could it be that someone kidnapped him?" Shuwen asked.

Shen Qinglan shook his head jokingly, picked up the scissors, trimmed the green plants on the table, and sneered:

"What bad guys are there? I'm afraid they are just unwilling to give up the splendor of the Zhan Palace."

"Then...should we send someone to look for it again?" Shuwen asked.

As Shen Qinglan was trimming the green plants, his mind was working rapidly as he spoke:

"I heard that Xie Wanying and Huo Qiyu have a very good relationship. If she wants to repair her relationship with the old princess, she must start with Huo Qiyu."

Huo Qiyu is the biological daughter of the old Princess Zhan, and also the only sister of Huo Zhanting. Before Shen Qinglan got married, she had heard that the Zhan Palace doted on Huo Qiyu to the utmost!

It is also because of this that Huo Qiyu's character has become extremely spoiled!

It is said that in her previous life, Huo Qiyu fell in love with a poor scholar and eloped with him. She was cheated of all her dowry and died in childbirth. It was a miserable life.

And I’m afraid Xie Wanying’s instigation was also a factor in this.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan cut off a branch with a "click" and instructed Shuwen:

"And this Miss Huo is studying at Lingcheng Women's Academy on the edge of the capital. Xie Wanying must go to Lingcheng. If you want to find her, you should go along this road. You must send someone to bring her back to me."

"Yes!"

Shuwen had no doubt about Shen Qinglan's judgment. He bowed respectfully and immediately ordered someone to do it.

There was a hint of coldness in Shen Qinglan's eyes.

She thought Xie Wanying was just vain, so when Princess Zhan let her go, she didn't plan to stop her.

But now, if she really was an impostor, then it is very likely that she has a bloody case on her hands!

Furthermore...

In the previous life, the Zhan Palace accelerated its decline after Huo Zhanting returned from paralysis. Huo Junyan and the others were such well-behaved children, so how could they become so dissolute later?

So, what role did Xie Wanying play in this? Shen Qinglan had a hunch that this time he might get the answer.

evening.

Shen Qinglan was holding a book, leaning on the couch and reading. At this time, a voice came from outside the door:

"Miss! You have to make the decision for me~~~"

The voice came before the person arrived. Shen Qinglan raised her eyes and saw Shu Yu staggering in from outside, looking like he was about to die.

Then he threw himself in front of Shen Qinglan, hugged Shen Qinglan's thighs, knelt on the ground, and complained:

"Wow, miss, I've always said that my cousin is a man without any humanity! He's clearly trying to kill me!"

Shen Qinglan looked at Shuyu who was hugging her thighs, tapped her head with amusement, and said angrily:

"Hurry up and get up. Why are you crying like this? I know my cousin well. He knows his limits. How could he want to kill you?"

When Shu Yu heard this, he immediately raised his head as if he had suffered great humiliation, looked at Shen Qinglan and raised his hands in grievance.

Shuyu's hands were shaking, and she couldn't stop trembling...

"What exactly happened here?"

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but be shocked, wondering if Lu Huaizhu really did such a ruthless thing?

"My cousin... asked me to write three hundred large characters!"

Shen Qinglan raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Writing? What to write?"

Shu Yu looked at Shen Qinglan with a hint of resentment, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Shen Qinglan.

The paper was filled with words like "young cousin is wise and brave", "young cousin is dignified", "young cousin is extremely talented", "young cousin is more handsome than Pan An", etc...

After seeing this, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but hold his forehead with a headache, feeling angry and amused at the same time.

Such absurd yet reasonable behavior was something Lu Huaizhu could do...

Shuwen came over to take a look, and his mouth twitched. He immediately concluded that Lu Huaizhu was "sick" and even "seriously ill".

Shuyu raised her hands and said tearfully:

"I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but my body and mind are suffering! Miss, please..."

"Please make the decision for me, Mother~"

Before Shuyu could finish her words, she was interrupted by a childish voice!

When Shen Qinglan raised her eyes, she saw Huo Junyu rushing to the door with a look of grievance on his face. The shout was obviously from Huo Junyu.

After Huo Junyu howled, he immediately knelt on the ground as if he was singing an opera, and moved on his knees to Shen Qinglan.

"Mother~ My mother~"

Shuwen stood behind Shen Qinglan and couldn't help but mutter to Shen Qinglan:

"Where did you learn this, Second Young Master? It's like crying at a funeral..."

Huo Junyu cried and opened his arms to hug her, but he found that Shen Qinglan's thighs were held by Shuyu, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The tears as big as beans were blocked in his eyes. He looked at Shuyu and gave her a look.

Shu Yu quickly moved back to free up Shen Qinglan's left leg.

Seeing this, Huo Junyu hugged Shen Qinglan's left leg with satisfaction, and tears fell down at the right time:

"Oh my god! You have to make a decision for Yu Ge'er! My cousin punished me by making me carry sandbags and do horse stance. He simply wanted to torture Yu Ge'er to death!"

"Torture?" Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Junyu's distressed expression, but laughed instead and asked:

"Why did your cousin punish you?"

As soon as he asked this question, Huo Junyu's eyes suddenly flickered, and his eyeballs rolled around as if he was thinking about what to say.

But before he could come up with the words, he heard Huo Junyan's voice:

"Mother, don't believe it. My second brother was punished because he didn't finish his homework. My cousin is very knowledgeable and well-versed in history and the present. He is better than countless great scholars. It is a blessing for us to receive your guidance."

Shen Qinglan raised her eyes and saw Huo Junyan and Qian Duoduo walking in, and behind them, Lu Huaizhu, who was holding Huo Jingyi, followed in slowly.

As soon as Lu Huaizhu entered the room, his beautiful peach blossom eyes glanced at the duo who were making complaints with a half-smile.

Shuyu and Huo Junyu both shuddered and felt a buzzing on their foreheads.

Shu Yu immediately got up from the ground, stood behind Shen Qinglan, and massaged Shen Qinglan's shoulders obediently, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

Although Huo Junyu felt a little scared when looking at Lu Huaizhu, he was like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, and was not scared in the end.

Instead, he looked at Shuyu with disdain, and then said to Huo Junyan:

"You like to read those intricate things, go by yourself, I won't suffer that..."

After a pause, Huo Junyu glanced at Lu Huaizhu and couldn't help but defend himself:

"Besides, I didn't mean to not do the homework. I just don't know how to do it! It's not my fault!"

"But the teacher is so cruel. He punished me by making me squat with a sandbag on my back and do horse stance for two hours! How old am I? Which good family can bear this? Mother..."

Lu Huaizhu sneered, without making any excuses, he looked directly at Shen Qinglan and said:

"Tell me, how should we deal with this?"
