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

After all, if Shen Qinglan really got into trouble under his nose, even if he had the chance to return to Qinghe alive, which of his parents or his grandfather would forgive him?

Shen Qinglan looked at Lu Huaizhu's angry expression and said with a smile:

"Don't be angry, cousin. I'm fine, right?"

"You're lucky!"

"Then don't worry, cousin. My luck will always be this good."

Lu Huaizhu listened to Shen Qinglan's words, looked up at her, snorted, and did not refute. Instead, he thought of Huo Zhanting and couldn't help asking:

"What happened to Huo Zhanting? He looks so tall and strong, how could he fall down so suddenly? Could it be that he was injured after being on the battlefield for too long?"

When Lu Huaizhu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He looked at Shen Qinglan, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Then, Lu Huaizhu gritted his teeth and said meaningfully:

"Lan'er, you have to know that when looking for a husband, the worst thing to do is to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside. After all, this husband is going to spend the rest of your life with you, so you can't be careless and you definitely can't settle for anything less!"

Shen Qinglan listened to Lu Huaizhu's words without saying anything, but Shuyu beside him couldn't help it.

Shu Yu just picked up the teapot and poured it into the cup in Lu Huaizhu's hand.

Seeing the tea in the cup constantly overflowing, Lu Huaizhu wet his hands and clothes. He kept changing the cups with his hands, but he didn't give up and immediately shouted:

"Eh, hey, hey? There are too many. What are you doing?"

Shu Yu snorted when he heard this, then put away the teapot and said to Lu Huaizhu:

"Young Master, do you know too much? Talking is the same as pouring tea. If the water is full, it will overflow. If you talk too much, it will be wrong!"

"Here……"

Lu Huaizhu was scolded by Shuyu and was about to defend himself, but Shuyu rolled her eyes and interrupted him:

"What do you mean? Young Master, you don't want fame for yourself, but our young lady does!"

"How can a grown man like you say these things to our young lady! If others hear this, do you want to kill our young lady?"

After hearing this, Lu Huaizhu finally shut up dejectedly, not daring to argue with Shuyu anymore.

Just as Shuyu said, now that Huo Zhanting is back, he is Shen Qinglan's legitimate husband.

If his words reached Huo Zhanting's ears and caused Huo Zhanting to misunderstand Shen Qinglan, it would harm Shen Qinglan.

Lu Huaizhu opened his mouth, carefully glanced at Shuyu, and then whispered to Shen Qinglan:

"Anyway, just know what's going on in your mind and don't put yourself in a difficult position."

"..."

While the two were talking, a servant suddenly ran in hurriedly and said nervously:

"My king, my princess, the head of the Shadow Pavilion is outside the door, and he has handed me a visiting card..."

Shen Qinglan raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Huaizhu. Lu Huaizhu couldn't help but smiled and teased:

"Tsk! I didn't expect that the people in this Shadow Pavilion are quite respectful of rules and etiquette?"

Shen Qinglan smiled, took the visiting card and opened it. He saw the name at the end of the letter. The handwriting was a little arrogant, like a person. Shen Qinglan couldn't help but murmured:

"Evil Young Master..."

A moment later, Shen Qinglan saw a man wearing purple clothes and a silver mask.

His long hair was tied up at an angle, with a few small braids on his shoulders, a purple feather earring on his ear, and a circle of bells around his waist, which jingled when he walked, giving him a hint of exotic charm.

Xie Shaoshang walked up to Shen Qinglan and stood still. He clenched a fist and pressed it against his chest. He saluted Shen Qinglan, raised the corners of his mouth, slightly opened his red lips, and said in a gentle and charming voice:

"Shao Shang has seen Princess Zhan, but he didn't know she was so beautiful, like the goddess of Luo River~"

Shen Qinglan raised his eyes and looked at Xie Shaoshang with a proper smile on his face. He motioned Xie Shaoshang to sit in the back, and then he spoke slowly:

"Lotus Goddess is a beautiful woman with a tragic fate. Young Pavilion Master, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to compare my princess to her, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Shaoshang's eyes flashed under the mask. When he looked at Shen Qinglan again, he couldn't help but speak in surprise:

"It was Shao Shang who expressed it inappropriately, but...how could Princess Zhan call me Young Pavilion Master?"

Shen Qinglan smiled and poured tea for Xie Shaoshang while explaining:

"This Shadow Pavilion has been established for at least thirty years. I heard that the Pavilion Master was already thirty when he founded the Pavilion. Now another thirty years have passed. How can he look as young as you?"

"Furthermore, it is rumored that the Pavilion Master of Shadow Pavilion gave birth to his only son when he was in his forties, and that his only son is good at music. I noticed that the fingertips of the Pavilion Master's left hand have calluses, so he must be good at playing the guqin, so I made this guess."

Of course, Shen Qinglan learned the news about the identity of the Young Master of Shadow Pavilion by accident in his previous life.

Upon hearing this, Xie Shaoshang couldn't help but chuckle. He looked Shen Qinglan up and down with great interest and said:

"Princess Zhan is indeed worthy of her reputation. No wonder she was able to capture all of my useless subordinates."

Shen Qinglan smiled, and without saying anything more about this matter, he went straight to the point:

"Since Young Pavilion Master is here, I guess you are very interested in my cooperation?"

The content of the letter that Shen Qinglan wrote to Xie Shaoshang was actually very simple, just two words: take it all.

What does it mean to take all?

Since the Fourth Prince has hired a killer from Shadow Pavilion, it will inevitably cost a lot.

What makes Shadow Pavilion's killers different from other killers is that not only are they expensive, but if the killer dies as a result of the assassination, the buyer needs to pay double the price as funeral expenses.

But in this case, the assassins of Shadow Pavilion would be killed, and if they want to train them again, it would cost not only money but also time.

This time, Shen Qinglan captured most of Shadow Pavilion's Class A killers in order to warn Shadow Pavilion that she has the strength and ability to make all of Shadow Pavilion's killers return empty-handed!

Even...kill one if one comes, kill two if two come!

If you, Shadow Pavilion, really don’t care, you can continue to send killers!

However... by then, with the strength of Shen Qinglan or the Prince Zhan's Mansion, the strength of the Shadow Pavilion's branch in the capital would probably be severely damaged!

At that time, Shadow Pavilion will have to weigh it on its own whether the price offered by the Fourth Prince can make up for Shadow Pavilion’s losses...

Upon hearing this, Xie Shaoshang naturally knew what Shen Qinglan meant, but he still shrugged helplessly and said seriously:

"Princess Zhan, you should know that our Shadow Pavilion has been able to stand firm for thirty years because of this reputation!"

"But what you asked us to do is obviously a little... against the rules. If it gets out, I'm afraid our Shadow Pavilion's business will no longer be able to continue."

When Shen Qinglan heard what Xie Shaoshang said, she knew that he had already been tempted by her proposal.

I said this just to get a guarantee from her.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan smiled and looked at Xie Shaoshang, and said seriously:

"Young Pavilion Master, you are worrying too much. As long as you really have someone, what level of assassin this is...isn't it you who has the final say? How can others know the truth without your internal list?"

"Besides, if someone really knew the truth, wouldn't that prove that there was a traitor inside Shadow Pavilion? For the Young Pavilion Master, it would be a good opportunity to eliminate him in time, with no harm at all, right?"

Xie Shaoshang was silent for a moment after hearing Shen Qinglan's words. He glanced at his useless subordinates and immediately stood up and said with a smile:

"Princess Zhan has a good plan. I wonder how to divide the benefits?"

"Fifty-fifty." Shen Qinglan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and spoke.

"Fifty-five? Princess Zhan, we provided all the people..." Xie Shaoshang said in astonishment.

"Aren't we also acting with you, Young Master?"

Xie Shaoshang looked at Shen Qinglan and saw that she had no intention of giving in, so he smiled helplessly:

"Princess Zhan, you are a very qualified businessman, so... let's have a happy cooperation?" (I was dizzy for the whole day, I am dazed o(╥﹏╥)o, please give me five stars to encourage me)
