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

Shen Qinglan looked at Marquis Jing'an's arrogant look and sneered in his heart, but explained in a gentle voice:

"Father, you are just the Marquis of Jing'an in name only, and you have no real power. Even in front of the current emperor, you just don't exist."

"Although this Treasury Department Yuanwailang is only of the fifth rank, he is under the Ministry of War and can attend the morning court every day."

"Our Marquisate has reached a point where your generation can no longer inherit it. If you don't show up in front of His Majesty, you will have even less of a chance."

One is empty reputation, the other is real power. Anyone with a discerning eye knows which one is more useful.

Furthermore, he may not be just a Yuanwailang for his whole life. If Marquis Jing'an is capable of handling things, he may be able to move up to a higher position.

As long as we do a good job in government affairs, it is not impossible to ask for grace from His Majesty to allow the glory of the Jing'an Marquisate to continue.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Jing'an's eyes lit up and he became a little excited. He praised Shen Qinglan:

"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being my daughter. I will do as you say."

Marquis Jing'an patted Shen Qinglan's shoulder with a smile on his face. When he turned around, he took several deep breaths before his expression returned to seriousness.

Shen Qinglan looked at Marquis Jing'an's back, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

My father has always only cared about his own interests. As long as it is beneficial to himself, he will not think about others.

He never thought about whether the conditions he exchanged from the Li family in this matter would make Shen Qingli's life difficult.

Speaking of which, when Marquis Jing'an married her mother, it was only to take advantage of the connections of the Qinghe Cui family and inherit the title of marquis.

Later, he did successfully use the Qinghe Cui family to consolidate his position as the crown prince and completely crush the second and third houses.

The reason why he married Zhao Chunlan was because the Marquis's Mansion was short of money and could no longer sustain itself, so he married the daughter of a wealthy businessman.

It can be said that every step that Marquis Jing'an took and everything he did was only for his own benefit.

Although Shen Qinglan felt resentful about Marquis Jing'an marrying someone else not long after her mother's death, but...

She could understand it. After all, if a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!

and so……

Shen Qinglan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with his lips slightly moving: "I hope that father will understand me when the time comes."

After all, she planned for Marquis Jing'an not just to trip up Shen Qingli and disgust her. Shen Qinglan never bothered to take such fights in the harem to heart.

She did this more for Huo Zhanting.

She remembered that the reason why Huo Zhanting was injured and paralyzed in his previous life was because the weapons supply of the Ministry of War was replaced with inferior weapons that broke into pieces at the slightest touch!

And that is why Huo Zhanting and his soldiers were at a disadvantage in the battle!

But even with malicious attacks, Huo Zhanting and his subordinates still won the war. It was a pity that Huo Zhanting was seriously injured and paralyzed in bed, unable to move!

It would be hard for a famous general to feel good when he fell into such a situation.

So Shen Qinglan could understand why Shen Qingli in her previous life thought that Huo Zhanting was moody and like a living devil.

In this life, although she has not met the War King yet, she admires Huo Zhanting from the bottom of her heart.

After all, being able to single-handedly keep the foreign enemies out can make the Great Yong Dynasty peaceful and the people of the Great Yong Dynasty live and work in peace! Huo Zhanting is a hero, and his contribution to the country is great!

Since she had married into Prince Zhan's mansion in this life, it was natural for her to do her part for Huo Zhanting.

Do your best, listen to destiny.

If Jing'an Hou becomes the Deputy Minister of the Treasury this time, maybe things will change...

Even if it cannot be changed... Shen Qinglan will try his best to change it!

Shen Qinglan did not interfere in the rest of the matters.

She believed that Marquis Jing'an would do a good job in the rest of the things, after all, this was truly related to his interests.

If she goes in to join in the fun now, she might even take Prince Zhan's palace with her.

She had no intention of intervening in this matter openly.

Moreover, looking at Shen Qingli's crazy look just now, she was really stimulated. If she went in, she might be implicated. She didn't want to suffer that.

Of course, Shen Qinglan did not feel the slightest bit guilty about what happened to Shen Qingli.

After all, this was all Shen Qingli's own choice.

At this time, the peach blossoms in the garden of the Marquis' Mansion were in full bloom.

Huo Junyu crossed his hands behind his head and strolled leisurely. Shuyu followed him obediently and kept saying:

"Second Master, be careful. The road ahead is bumpy."

"Second Master, slow down. There is a pond over there."

"Second Master, please don't stay under the tree, you may get bit by mosquitoes."

"Second son..."

Huo Junyu suddenly stopped and did not move forward. He turned around and stared at Shuyu.

Shu Yu's words were stuck in his mouth. He blinked and asked carefully, "Second Young Master, you..."

"I say, you are a young maid, why are you so noisy? Even Aunt Gui who is beside my grandmother is not as noisy as you."

"..." Shu Yu was speechless for a long while before asking, "Is this servant so long-winded?"

"Yes, but it's too much. If you keep nagging like this, you won't be able to get married in the future."

"..." Shuyu pursed her lips and said reluctantly:

"I will not marry. I will serve the princess for the rest of my life."

Huo Junyu raised his eyebrows, sneered, and said disdainfully:

"Although you are a long-winded maid, you are loyal."

After a pause, Huo Junyu suddenly rolled his eyes and asked with a sly and curious look:

"Speaking of which, where did your princess learn the archery skill? Did your mansion hire an archery master?"

"We have never hired any archery masters in our mansion. The Marquis does not want the girls in our mansion to wield swords and guns. Our princess is probably gifted."

Shuyu was actually a little curious. How could her young lady suddenly become such a great archer?

She grew up serving the young lady personally, and the young lady never hid anything from her.

But Shuyu felt that he had never seen his young lady learn any archery, so after thinking about it, Shuyu could only attribute it to the fact that his young lady was gifted.

Huo Junyu had been staring at Shuyu's expression. Seeing that Shuyu looked serious and didn't seem to be lying, he snorted in frustration.

He originally thought that if he could find the teacher who taught the woman archery, he could invite him back, so that he would not have to be threatened by that woman anymore.

But now it seems that either this maid did not lie and Shen Qinglan is really gifted, or this maid does not know the truth.

As for saying that Shu Yu was lying?

Huo Junyu didn't doubt it at all.

After all, this maid looked even dumber than him, so if she really wanted to lie, it would be easy to see.

Just as Huo Junyu walked forward, he suddenly saw something rustling on the wall.

It seems like someone is trying to climb over the wall!

Shuyu was also startled, and thought to himself, how dare a thief climb over the wall in broad daylight? How bold!

Thinking of this, Shuyu hurriedly grabbed Huo Junyu, shook his head at him, pointed behind him, and planned to call for help.

But Huo Junyu looked eager to try. He raised a finger to his lips towards Shuyu and mouthed: Catch the thief with me!
