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

Chapter 226: Although it concerns national law, what does it have to do with her?

It was already afternoon and the kitchen was empty. The young girl was frightened when she saw Mars rising early in the morning and was at a loss what to do.

At this moment, Jin Lan suddenly appeared and rescued her.

But because he was walking in a hurry, he accidentally fell and the sparks burned his neck, leaving this scar.

So actually she was very grateful to Jinlan at the beginning, but now when she thinks about it carefully, Jinlan had only been in the mansion for a short time and was just an ordinary maid sweeping the yard in her mother's yard.

The reason why her mother promoted her to be the chief maid was because she saved herself this time and her mother was grateful to her!

After all, the fire in the kitchen spread very quickly. Jinlan had just carried her out when the kitchen was engulfed by thick smoke.

So in everyone's eyes, Jinlan is her savior.

But in fact, if Shen Qinglan remembered correctly, the reason why she went to the kitchen at that time was because of Jin Lan's instigation!

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan felt a chill. If everything was planned by Jinlan from the beginning, then doesn't that mean everything that happened to her mother was because of her?

Shen Qinglan took a deep breath, looked at Jinlan crying in front of him indifferently, and suddenly said directly:

"Why did you betray my mother?"

With just one sentence, Jinlan's crying stopped abruptly.

She looked up at Shen Qinglan in disbelief, her eyes full of innocence and pain, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Miss, are you blaming me for leaving the mansion when my wife passed away? Miss, please forgive Jinlan. Jinlan just felt sad about my wife's death. If she left behind, it was just to remind her of her, so..."

"If Miss thinks that this is a betrayal, then Miss, please punish Jinlan, and Jinlan will admit it!"

Shen Qinglan looked at the person in front of him and felt extremely disgusted!

Call black white!

So cunning!

No wonder he was able to collude with the Zhao family and kill my mother!

She took a deep breath, then looked at Shuyu beside her and ordered, "Go and move a chair."

"Yes!"

Shu Yu did not hesitate and ordered his servants to bring a chair and place it behind Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan sat down without saying anything, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, holding a letter in his hand, playing with it for a while, and then said faintly:

"Since you claim to be innocent, then tell me where you got such a large sum of money to ensure that you can buy real estate, land deeds, and shops in your hometown after you redeem yourself?"

"If you were innocent, how could you have business dealings with Zhao? Don't tell me you don't know that Zhao was my father's successor."

"If you were innocent, why did you lure me into playing with fire in the kitchen when I was just a kid, and act like a loyal servant saving the master?"

"You say you are innocent, but everything you do is not innocent!"

Shen Qinglan's words were loud and powerful, and every word seemed to hit Jinlan's heart, making Jinlan feel guilty involuntarily.

Shen Qinglan saw Jin Lan's evasive eyes, and it was obvious that she wanted to explain something, but she was no longer willing to listen to her explanation, and only snorted coldly:

"You can choose not to tell me, but I want to see how long you can keep silent."

Shen Qinglan said this while looking at Huo Zhanting who was sitting in a wheelchair, and asked:

"I heard that the army has its own set of criminal laws to deal with spies. I wonder if the War King would be so kind as to let me see them today?"

"If the princess wants to see it, it's fine, Li Wu."

Huo Zhanting nodded slightly, then winked at Li Wu beside him. Li Wu immediately stepped forward, took out a pile of torture instruments, and threw them in front of Jin Lan.

The sound of "ding-ling-clang" was heard.

Jinlan looked at the torture instruments in front of her, which she couldn't even name, and her face turned pale with fright.

She looked at Shen Qinglan with some fear and shouted:

"Miss, Jinlan is really wronged! Jinlan..."

"Shut up, don't pollute the princess' ears."

Huo Zhanting glanced at Jin Lan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and gave an order. Suddenly, Jin Lan's shouting stopped abruptly, and the yard became quieter in an instant.

Huo Zhanting sat next to Shen Qinglan and looked at Shen Qinglan from the side.

Shen Qinglan seemed to be extremely calm at this moment, but the fingertips of her fingers that were tightly gripping the armrests of the chair had already turned white, which showed that she was just pretending to be calm.

Shen Qinglan heard Huo Zhanting sighing, and then heard Huo Zhanting say:

"Li Wu is in charge of punishment in the army. His methods might scare you. Why don't you go back to the room and wait? If I have the answer, I will have someone call you."

Shen Qinglan glanced at Huo Zhanting, shook her head, and said with determination in her eyes:

"No, I want to see with my own eyes what happens to this traitor who betrays his master!"

Huo Zhanting pursed his lips and finally responded: "Okay..."

In the end, Shen Qinglan overestimated himself and underestimated Li Wu.

This was indeed the first time she had seen military criminal law, and she felt her stomach churning.

In the end, Jin Lan looked like she had been carried out from a pool of blood.

Huo Zhanting had the cloth covering her mouth removed. Without even opening her mouth, Jin Lan was already panting, her eyes full of satisfaction as she spoke hoarsely:

"No, no, I, I confess, Miss, it was Zhao Chunlan! It was Zhao Chunlan who bribed me to give Madam the drug, but I really didn't know it was poison at first!"

"I am just a powerless person. Zhao Chunlan threatened me with my life, and I dare not disobey! Wuwuwu... I know I am wrong. If I knew it was poison, how could I possibly harm Madam?"

Shen Qinglan looked at Zhao Chunlan, who looked like a bloody person in front of him and was kowtowing and begging for mercy, but he felt neither sad nor happy in his heart.

She stood up slowly, staggering a little, and Shuyu hurriedly supported her.

After Shen Qinglan stood still, he looked at Jin Lan and said word by word: "You are not worthy of mentioning my mother."

After a pause, Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Zhanting and said, "We have all the evidence, but I still have something to ask of you..."

Huo Zhanting looked at Shen Qinglan at this moment, her little face as pale as snow, his eyes full of pity, and he had already guessed what she was thinking in his heart.

The hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable, Shen Qinglan must want to kill the enemy with her own hands!

Huo Zhanting thought about this and sighed, "National laws cannot be abolished. Since the witnesses and evidence have been handed over, Zhao Chunlan will definitely die. You..."

"But, I won't give in." Shen Qinglan gently interrupted Huo Zhanting's words, her gaze fell directly on Huo Zhanting's, her eyes full of stubbornness.

If Huo Zhanting is unwilling to help, she will find a way to do it herself.

Although it concerns national law, what does it have to do with her?

If she couldn't kill her mother's enemy with her own hands, how could she face him?

Huo Zhanting laughed helplessly and said, "Although the national law cannot be abolished, there are other means to achieve your wish."
