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

Seeing Shen Qinglan's shocked expression, Huo Zhanting thought for a moment and explained:

"At that time, our Great Yong Dynasty and Xiqi were already fighting fiercely in Lihe, and the people of Xiqi were planning to send someone to assassinate me. It was someone who informed me in advance that allowed me to turn the situation around."

After a pause, Huo Zhanting continued, "I recognize the handwriting on the letter. It's Nangong Ze's. When I took over the army, I collected Nangong Liuzi's belongings and recognized Nangong Ze's handwriting."

When Shen Qinglan heard this, his brows furrowed.

If this is the case, it at least proves that although Nangong Ze is still alive, he is forced not to recognize each other.

What is the reason why he can't go back to Dayong to meet him?

Shen Qinglan couldn't think of anything, but still asked, "Will you keep the note?"

Huo Zhanting shook his head: "I burned it."

"Just burn it."

Regardless of whether it was written by Nangong Ze or not, since he didn't want to reveal his identity, he naturally shouldn't leave any traces of him.

Otherwise, Nangong Ze might be in danger!

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but look at Huo Zhanting again and said gratefully:

"You told me this because you want me to tell Sister Nangong?"

"Whether to tell them or not is up to you. However, if I tell them when we cannot confirm Nangong Ze's whereabouts, I am afraid it will increase my hope."

Huo Zhanting originally didn't want to get involved in the Nangong family's affairs, but now seeing that Shen Qinglan and Nangong Mingyue had a very good relationship, he told Shen Qinglan about the matter.

As for whether Shen Qinglan wants to tell Nangong Mingyue, that depends on Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan naturally knew what Huo Zhanting meant, and said to him gratefully:

"Thank you, but don't tell Sister Nangong about this. She is quite straightforward and if you tell her, she will probably go to Lihe to look for someone right away. But, since there is news, I can't just say nothing..."

Huo Zhanting listened to Shen Qinglan's words without saying anything. He just watched her make a decision quietly.

Shen Qinglan pondered for a while before saying, "Why not tell this to General Nangong? General Nangong is steady and acts prudently."

"Moreover, General Nangong has been in very poor health in recent years. I'm afraid it's not only due to his old illness, but also due to his mental illness. If we can give him a glimmer of hope, it might actually be beneficial to his health."

Shen Qinglan had said before that she wanted to go to the Nangong family to visit General Nangong, but she had always been stuck. But now, she had to go no matter what.

Huo Zhanting listened to Shen Qinglan's decision and felt it was safe, so he smiled and said:

"Okay, the king will accompany you tomorrow, so that Madam Qian won't get suspicious."

After all, Huo Zhanting is a military general, and it is normal for a military general to visit a military general. Nangong Mingyue would not suspect anything else.

After a while of noise, everyone was soon attracted by the smell of barbecue.

The five little ones had already put the fish they caught aside and squatted beside the grill, staring at Huo Qiyu in unison.

Xie Shaoshang and the others naturally followed suit and sat next to the five little ones, looking very respected, except for their pairs of glowing hungry wolf eyes.

Even Gu Junyuan and Lu Huaizhu, who had been chasing each other for dozens of laps, stopped fighting at this moment, reached a temporary reconciliation, and sat together on the sidelines waiting.

Huo Qiyu looked at the group of people, all staring at him, feeling somewhat proud!

He immediately grilled them and distributed them, saying, "Eat slowly! We have everything!"

After roasting for a while, Huo Qiyu looked at the group of hungry wolves and gnashed his teeth and said:

"Slowly! Slowly! Eat! Even beggars eat more elegantly than you!"

Huo Junyu licked his lips, looked at Huo Qiyu eagerly, and said in a childish voice:

"Auntie is wrong! Beggars can't eat such delicious barbecue!"

Qian Duoduo nodded, licked the bamboo stick, and agreed: "Besides, if being a beggar can eat these barbecues, then Duoduo still wants to be a beggar, right?"

"I second the motion!" Huo Jingyi raised her chubby little hand happily with a cute face.

"Aunt, you have great skills. Thank you for your hard work." Huo Junyan was more steady after all. He nodded slightly at Huo Qiyu and praised her.

Ye Zhiheng looked at his bulging belly somewhat embarrassedly. It was the first time that he had eaten in such an unroyal and undignified manner.

But thinking of the taste, he couldn't help but look at Huo Qiyu and said seriously:

"Ms. Huo sacrificed one person to save all the others. She is truly a role model for the world. When Zhiheng returns today, he will definitely compose three poems to praise Miss Huo."

Huo Qiyu's mouth twitched, and she looked at Ye Zhiheng's serious expression, and couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Instead of writing poems, it's better to give silver!"

Unexpectedly, when Ye Zhiheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked happily: "Can I eat more if I pay you money? I'll give you money!"

When the other four kids heard this, they quickly took out all the small change they had on them and placed it in front of Huo Qiyu with a clang.

Huo Qiyu looked at the silver and copper coins in front of him and looked up at the sky in silence.

Do you really think she is the cook?

Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Qiyu who looked like she was about to cry and found it somewhat amusing.

It’s better to be busy. When you are busy, you won’t have any random thoughts.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but said to Huo Zhanting beside him:

"Why don't we ask Lu Jinghuai to come over tomorrow? I think the second young lady is quite good at grilling meat, and the sauce is also well-seasoned. If she opens a shop, maybe there will be a market for it?"

When the time comes, let Huo Qiyu be busy on her own. When people have something to do, they won’t think about messy things anymore.

Besides, Huo Qiyu was originally going to graduate from Lingcheng Girls' Academy in a month, so she was just sitting there doing nothing anyway.

Huo Zhanting heard this and thought Shen Qinglan's idea was very good, so he said, "I'll tell her when I get back."

Shen Qinglan smiled and nodded, thinking of the other things Huo Qiyu had just mentioned, and couldn't help but say:

"However, these things were thought up by the second young lady's classmate, so we have to tell him and buy the secret recipe to avoid being involved in the future."

"As for those other rare things that the second young lady just mentioned, tell Lu Jinghuai then. If he thinks it's okay, maybe he can buy the secret recipe as well."

Shen Qinglan still has some obsession with making money.

After all, money makes the world go round.

Lu Jinghuai has a unique vision when it comes to making money. If he says it can make money, then it must be good.

Huo Zhanting listened to Shen Qinglan's words, nodded slightly, and then asked somewhat helplessly:

"You seem to like running a business?"

This is just like asking Shen Qinglan directly why he likes making money so much.

Shen Qinglan listened, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile:

"When I came to Prince Zhan's mansion, it was in a lot of deficit. In addition, Prince Zhan was always doing good things without asking for anything in return. If I hadn't turned your shops around in time, when you came back, I'm afraid you would have to bring your whole family to the palace to ask His Majesty to borrow money to get by."

This one sentence made Huo Zhanting blush.

Then, Huo Zhanting couldn't help but think...

The princess was very unhappy with her inability to make money. She couldn't just sit there lazily waiting for her wife to support her, right?

Perhaps he should write a letter to His Majesty to ask for a job.

Everyone ate and drank their fill, and was very satisfied.

At this moment, a group of students wearing white gowns and black Confucian scarves suddenly walked towards them.

Except for the leader who was a middle-aged man, the rest were teenagers.

The middle-aged man was probably in his thirties or forties, with a decent appearance, but he had a stern face and seemed to have a bad temper.

The man walked up to Huo Zhanting, saluted casually, and said:

"I am Mr. Meng Ran from the Imperial Academy, and I am honored to meet the King of War."
