Shen Qinglan didn't know that Huo Zhanting was outside at this time, and she had no idea what Huo Zhanting was thinking.

She was having a headache at the moment.

I just couldn't help myself and hit Shen Qingli in front of the old Princess Zhan. It was a bit rude...

Shen Qinglan was about to turn around and explain to Princess Zhan, but Princess Zhan didn't wait for her to speak. She was already moved and distressed as she held Shen Qinglan's hand and said with tears in her eyes:

"Good boy, I'm really sorry for you."

"Mother?"

Shen Qinglan looked at Princess Lao Zhan with some surprise, as if she didn't know why Princess Lao Zhan was so emotional.

Princess Lao Zhan wiped her tears and looked at her daughter-in-law, her heart full of emotion.

To be honest, although what Shen Qingli said was unpleasant, it did make sense. After all, for a woman, who could tolerate the fact that her husband might be a paraplegic for the rest of his life?

But Shen Qinglan not only did not dislike Huo Zhanting, but also protected him in every way! The old Princess Zhan was moved and distressed.

I just feel that no matter how good I am to Shen Qinglan, it seems that it is not as good as what she has given.

Then, thinking of Shen Qingli's arrogant look just now, he said with a moved face:

"Your sister is so disrespectful to you. I'm afraid she bullied you even more when she was in Jing'an Marquis' Mansion. Whenever I think of Qinglan's miserable life in that mansion, I feel uncomfortable..."

Shen Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and took the old Princess Zhan's hand with a bit of amusement, tightened it, and said soothingly:

"Don't worry, mother. Do you think I am the kind of person who would suffer a loss?"

When he was in the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, Shen Qinglan had already realized a truth.

That is, a stepmother is still a stepmother after all, and it is impossible for her to treat her wholeheartedly. It is understandable that she handles things in a biased manner.

Fortunately, although the wife of Marquis Jing'an was biased towards Shen Qingli, she was still wary of her maternal family.

The Qinghe Cui family is a century-old noble family, and her maternal grandfather had only one daughter, her mother. After her mother passed away, her maternal grandfather thought about taking her back to raise her, but Marquis Jing'an refused, so he gave up.

But even so, her grandfather would send someone to pick her up every year to stay for a month or so, and would send her some small gifts from time to time, in order to warn Marquis Jing'an that someone was protecting her.

Because of this, although Marquis Jing'an and his wife were partial to her, they did not dare to treat her too well and naturally had to give her the proper respect.

Just like this time when she and Shen Qingli got married, although Lady Jing'an gave Shen Qingli more dowry in private, she still had to treat them equally in public.

Moreover, all of Shen Qinglan's mother's dowry was given to her, plus the money from her grandfather, her dowry could be said to have surpassed Shen Qingli's.

Although Shen Qinglan said that she had not been wronged, Princess Zhan did not believe it. Instead, she thought that Shen Qinglan was just pretending to be strong! She immediately held Shen Qinglan's hand and said solemnly:

"No matter what, you are now a princess appointed by the emperor himself, and the consort of our Zhan Wangfu. If someone bullies you again, you should fight back like you did just now! If you get hurt or disabled, your mother will always take care of it for you!"

"If mother can't bear it anymore, let Ting'er bear it. He can't be so cowardly that he can remain indifferent when his wife is wronged."

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but bend her eyes when she heard this. She smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you, mother."

Huo Zhanting, who was outside the door, couldn't help but sigh helplessly when he heard this.

Ren Wei and Li Wu on the side couldn't help but smile secretly.

However, thinking of Shen Qinglan's heroic spirit when she defended her master, they couldn't help but feel that what the old princess said made sense.

The fact that the princess cares so much about their prince is enough to gain the respect of the two men for Shen Qinglan.

Especially Li Wu.

If I had some opinions about Princess Shen Qinglan at the beginning, now all I have left is admiration and respect for her.

Huo Zhanting looked at Shen Qinglan's beautiful profile, his deep eyes flickered slightly, and he moved his fingers on the wheelchair slightly, and lowered his voice and instructed Li Wu:

"Go check on the Li family. We can't let them bully my wife and still get away with it."

"Yes!"

After Li Wu took the order and left, Huo Zhanting was about to let Ren Wei push him away, but he heard a voice behind him.

"The War King is back?"

Huo Zhanting turned around and saw Shen Qinglan and the old Princess Zhan walking towards him together.

Shen Qinglan was wearing a sky-blue dress with a pattern of colorful flowers. The skirt was very wide, and as she walked gracefully, tiny ripples fluttered around her feet.

Shen Qinglan was facing the light, her face was a little blurry, but still so beautiful that it made people's hearts skip a beat.

Huo Zhanting looked at Shen Qinglan who was approaching him. For a moment, he seemed to have forgotten to speak. His eyes were fixed on Shen Qinglan's face, and a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind:

"There is no beauty that can surpass the beauty of the ages; a beauty that pleases the eyes is a beauty; a beauty that overwhelms the whole country, astonishes the whole world."

The old Princess Zhan looked at her son staring blankly at Shen Qinglan, and laughed like an experienced person. She patted Huo Zhanting's shoulder with some amusement and said:

"What are you staring at? You can just wait and see your wife later."

Huo Zhanting's ears turned red when he heard this. He coughed lightly in embarrassment and ignored the old Princess Zhan. Instead, he said apologetically to Shen Qinglan:

"Don't take mother's nonsense seriously."

Shen Qinglan shook her head. Because she had other things on her mind, she did not take the words of the old Princess Zhan and the others to heart. Instead, she said:

"King Zhan has returned from the palace. Are you tired?"

Huo Zhanting shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's all carried by people, it doesn't take much effort, how can it be tiring?"

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly and said comfortingly: "With my medical skills, you will be able to recover within half a year. However, even if you recover, you have to keep it a secret."

"Well, the king knows."

Shen Qinglan paused, looked at the old princess again, and said seriously:

"Mother, I have something to say to the War King, please..."

When the old princess heard Huo Zhanting say that she was talking nonsense, she wanted to say a few more words to him. When she heard Shen Qinglan speak, she immediately said:

"It just so happens that I asked the kitchen to make some steamed cheese with sugar, and I have to keep an eye on it to see if it's done wrong. You guys can chat."

The old princess said this and just wanted to turn back to look for the three brats, but she found that Huo Junyan and the others had disappeared at some point.

After a moment of confusion, the old princess did not hesitate and just left with a smile.

After Shen Qinglan saw the old princess leave, she sat on the chair next to Huo Zhanting, pondered for a while, and asked directly:

"Why did you ask for grace for me today? Didn't we agree to..."

Before Shen Qinglan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Huo Zhanting:

"Because you deserve it more."

Huo Zhanting's voice is deep and rich, and goes straight to people's hearts.

When Shen Qinglan heard this, there was a hint of surprise on her face, and she looked up at Huo Zhanting with some astonishment.

Immediately, he bumped into those eyes that were as deep as a pool, as if they could see through people's hearts.

Shen Qinglan's heart moved slightly, and she wanted to say something, but Huo Zhanting continued to speak...
