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

Zhao Chunlan was stunned for a moment. For some reason, looking at Shen Qinglan's eyes at this moment, she felt a little guilty and frightened.

Zhao Chunlan shrank back, then gritted her teeth and said:

"I don't know what you are talking about! But Shen Qinglan! Although I am your stepmother, I have never treated you badly since you were a child, right?"

"I admit that I prefer Li'er, but Li'er is my biological daughter. Is it abnormal for me to prefer her?"

"Besides, if it was another crueler stepmother, how could she tolerate you? It's good enough that she didn't take your life, right?"

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard Zhao Chunlan's confident words.

She looked at Zhao Chunlan with a hint of sarcasm and asked earnestly, "So, I should thank you for not killing me?"

"I, I didn't say that..."

Zhao Chunlan felt fear in her heart when she was looked at by Shen Qinglan, and she couldn't help but avoid her gaze.

Shen Qinglan's fingers tightened in vain, squeezing Zhao Chunlan with great force, as if he wanted to dig directly into her flesh. After Zhao Chunlan cried out in pain, Shen Qinglan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes full of coldness:

"Yes, you are Shen Qingli's biological mother, so it's normal for you to favor her, but... I should also have my biological mother's preference, right?"

Zhao Chunlan's cry of pain suddenly stopped. She looked at Shen Qinglan in disbelief, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"you you……"

Shen Qinglan let go of Zhao Chunlan's jaw, and his nails had already scratched her skin, revealing several blood marks.

Zhao Chunlan felt pain but didn't say anything. She just stared at Shen Qinglan with her eyes wide open.

Shen Qinglan chuckled, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, and slowly said:

"My mother is a noble lady from an aristocratic family. She is gentle and virtuous. She is kind to her servants, considerate to her husband, and she treats me like a treasure!"

"It can be said that if my mother knew that you were a concubine, she would have let Marquis Jing'an take you into her mansion out of her soft heart and would never treat you unfairly! But..."

"She's dead! Do you know how she died?"

When Zhao Chunlan heard Shen Qinglan say this, she felt as if she was falling into an ice cellar, and her eyes were full of fear!

For some reason, Zhao Chunlan always had a feeling that Shen Qinglan already knew everything!

But! How is it possible?

What happened back then was done perfectly! How could she know?

Thinking of this, Zhao Chunlan shook her head again and again, not wanting to stay in the Zhan Palace any longer, and said excitedly and struggling:

"I don't know, I don't know anything! Let me go! Let me go!"

Shen Qinglan looked at Zhao Chunlan struggling desperately, with a mocking look in his eyes, and said in a light voice, word by word:

"Before my mother died, she endured the pain of her internal organs corroding every day! She suffered from bone corroding torture every moment. Just imagine how much pain she must have felt?"

At this point, Shen Qinglan took out a porcelain bottle, shook it twice in front of Zhao Chunlan's eyes, and said:

"You should be familiar with this medicine, right? Today, since you have come to me to seek justice for your Zhao family, I want to seek justice from you too!"

"If you drink this medicine, I will have the Zhao family released. How about that?"

The moment Zhao Chunlan saw the porcelain bottle, she felt guilty and her eyes widened. She shouted directly:

"Love-breaking powder? I won't drink it!"

Shen Qinglan chuckled, opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, and stretched out his hand towards her lips, asking slowly:

"Don't you want to drink? Don't you want to save the Zhao family? Why? You don't even dare to make a small sacrifice?"

Zhao Chunlan's nose was immediately lingering with the pungent smell of medicine, and she was frightened out of her wits!

Zhao Chunlan didn't know where she got the strength from, but she broke free from the restraints of the servants, threw the medicine in the porcelain bottle to the ground, and pointed at Shen Qinglan and shouted madly:

"You little bitch, you want to kill me? I should have let you die with your mother, that old bitch!"

The porcelain bottle fell to the ground and the liquid inside spilled all over the floor.

Shen Qinglan looked at the liquid on the ground, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Chunlan, and asked softly: "Do you admit it?"

Zhao Chunlan looked at Shen Qinglan, and was so frightened by the murderous look in Shen Qinglan's eyes that she could not move and could only shake her head desperately.

"You bribed Jinlan and lurked beside my mother!"

"You asked the Zhao family to buy you the Acacia Heartbreak Powder and poisoned my mother!"

"You must pay your debts and pay your murderers' lives! It's only right!"

Shen Qinglan's voice became louder and louder, and her eyes, which were originally as calm as water, were already filled with murderous intent.

Zhao Chunlan was powerless to refute, her legs already weak with fear at Shen Qinglan's appearance!

Shen Qinglan, wanted to kill her!

This was the only thought that flashed through Zhao Chunlan's mind, and she immediately turned around and ran away in fear!

Shen Qinglan waved his hand and did not let anyone stop him. Instead, he reached out and took a bow from Shu Yu's hand, put an arrow on it and pulled the bow.

There was a sound of "咻"!

The arrow was as fast as lightning and pierced directly through Zhao Chunlan's left leg.

Zhao Chunlan cried out miserably and fell to the ground. She turned around in horror and looked at Shen Qinglan, saying:

"Shen Qinglan, are you crazy? You still want to kill me? Even if you don't want to admit it, I am still your mother! Do you still have any shame after your act of killing your mother is spread out?"

Unfortunately, what responded to Zhao Chunlan was Leng Mo and another arrow shot by Shen Qinglan.

"call out!"

"puff!"

The arrow pierced Zhao Chunlan's right leg.

Zhao Chunlan was sweating profusely from the pain and screaming. She looked at Shen Qinglan with fear in her eyes:

"Don't, don't kill me! It was just a misunderstanding back then! I really didn't know that the Acacia Heartbreak Powder would kill your mother. I-I just wanted to..."

Shen Qinglan sneered and didn't listen to Zhao Chunlan's explanation at all. He just bent his bow and drew his arrow indifferently, his voice as cold as ice:

"Originally, I wanted to wait a little longer, but you came to me to seek death. Since you don't want to live, then go and kowtow to my mother to atone for your sins!"

Originally, Shen Qinglan wanted to wait until Jin Lan was captured and there was evidence before taking action.

But now, she realized that she overestimated herself.

She still couldn't remain calm when facing the murderer of her mother!

Shen Qinglan narrowed his eyes slightly, drew the bow in his hand to the full moon, and aimed at the chest of Zhao Chunlan, who was trembling and terrified.

Just as she was about to let go of the bowstring, a voice rang out:

"Qing Lan! No."

Huo Zhanting had arrived at Shen Qinglan's side at some point. He sat in a wheelchair and grabbed Shen Qinglan's wrist.

Shen Qinglan lowered her eyes and looked at Huo Zhanting, her eyes were cold!

"You want to stop me?"

"I'm not trying to stop you, but if you want to kill someone, there's no need to dirty your hands."

When Huo Zhanting saw Shen Qinglan’s pale face, his heart tightened a little, filled with pity.

At this moment, if Shen Qinglan were to kill Zhao Chunlan with one arrow, it would certainly be revenge and relief, but it would also bring endless troubles to Shen Qinglan!

Zhao Chunlan is a woman of the imperial court. To convict her of adultery without trial is a capital crime!

Even if he could avoid the death penalty for Shen Qinglan, the name of matricide would accompany her for the rest of her life!

Even if it is finally clarified that Shen Qinglan's actions were justified and Zhao Chunlan deserved the punishment, her reputation will still be ruined!

Everyone will stay away from her!

But, this shouldn't be the future Shen Qinglan deserves! He couldn't bear it and couldn't let it go!

"Trust me and put the arrow down."

Seeing Shen Qinglan not moving, Huo Zhanting sighed and asked seriously:

"Don't you want your mother's death to be known to the world?"

"If you kill her so easily, not only will it be easy for her, but it will also cover up her crime, right?"

Seeing Shen Qinglan's expression gradually soften, Huo Zhanting said:

"Trust me and let me handle it, okay?"
