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

Seeing that Shen Qinglan had figured out the key, Huo Zhanting pursed his lips and said:

"Today | You asked me to send Jiang Wan back. I know you wanted me to take this opportunity to enter the Jiang family, but the guards at the other side's house are very strict. I am not prepared and it is easy to alert the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but sigh and said, "That's a pity."

Huo Zhanting heard Shen Qinglan say this, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Shen Qinglan say again:

"But it doesn't matter, there is still a long way to go! I don't think Miss Jiang will give up so easily. By then, I'm afraid she will have to ask the King of War to unleash his charm more."

Shen Qinglan said so.

Since it was Jiang Wan who took the initiative to approach today, it means that Jiang Wan will definitely not stop here.

As long as the opponent continues to attack, there will always be opportunities for Huo Zhanting to continue to show his skills.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan was in a pretty good mood, and a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes.

"Ah~" Shen Qinglan suddenly exclaimed.

Shen Qinglan suddenly felt that her whole body was weightless and was lifted up by someone. The next moment, she fell into Huo Zhanting's arms.

She looked at Huo Zhanting with some astonishment, but happened to see a hint of anger on Huo Zhanting's face.

Shen Qinglan's lower back was held by Huo Zhanting's big hand, which seemed to be a little hot. Shen Qinglan could feel the heat even through the clothes, as if it was going to melt her.

Because her body was held in Huo Zhanting's arms, she subconsciously stretched out her hands and placed them on Huo Zhanting's chest.

She could feel the heart beating strongly in her chest. When she looked up, she saw Huo Zhanting's deep eyes, which made her feel as if her soul was captured for a moment.

"you……"

"Princess, the king is angry."

Shen Qinglan wanted to question Huo Zhanting, but Huo Zhanting complained before her.

Shen Qinglan was a little confused for a moment.

Shouldn't she have said this?

Huo Zhanting hugged Shen Qinglan and felt that the woman's body was so soft, like a ball of cotton.

Under my hands, the slender waist seemed like it would break with a slight pinch.

He was very angry at first, but when Huo Zhanting hugged Shen Qinglan and saw the confusion in Shen Qinglan's eyes, his anger seemed to dissipate a little.

Huo Zhanting didn't hesitate and directly hugged the person into his arms. Then, he leaned his shoulder on Shen Qinglan's shoulder and said in a hoarse voice:

"Princess, why are you pushing me out?"

"War, War King?"

Shen Qinglan felt Huo Zhanting's warm breath on her neck, and listened to his pitiful and aggrieved voice. Her hand on his chest couldn't help but relax a little.

"Princess, you know that Jiang Wan has evil intentions towards me."

"I..." Shen Qinglan couldn't explain. It was because she knew that that she asked Huo Zhanting to send the person off.

"Princess, do you have no affection for this king at all?"

Huo Zhanting's voice was very low, with a hint of depression, which made people feel uncomfortable when listening to it.

"I, aren't we in a cooperative relationship?" Shen Qinglan thought this was an unspoken secret between her and Huo Zhanting.

"No, you are my princess, and I have never thought of marrying anyone else."

"So, from now on, can you treat me as your husband? Not a cooperative relationship, but a husband, the kind that will stay with you forever."

Shen Qinglan was a little shocked when she heard what Huo Zhanting said.

She really hadn't thought about it.

Shen Qinglan felt that in this life, he had never thought about love between men and women.

She just wanted to try her best to hold on to power and never thought about anything else.

But what Huo Zhanting said at this time really shocked Shen Qinglan.

That night, Shen Qinglan couldn't sleep.

His mind was full of what Huo Zhanting said before he left: "It doesn't matter what happened in the past, but please consider this request of mine from now on."

Perhaps because he had been thinking all night, when Shen Qinglan woke up the next day, there was an obvious dark spot under his eyes.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?"

Shuyu naturally saw this when she was dressing Shen Qinglan, and asked worriedly.

Shu Wen was holding a sword at the side, listening to Shu Yu's words. He glanced at Shen Qinglan and said seriously:

"Maybe it's summer now, Miss is starting to feel the heat. Let someone bring the ice over."

"Oh, that's right. Don't wait any longer. I'll go now."

Shuyu felt that Shuwen’s words made sense, so she quickly called other maids to help Shen Qinglan put on makeup, and then she ran out.

Shen Qinglan did not dare to explain, mainly because he was too embarrassed to explain, so he just let the two of them misunderstand.

Before Shen Qinglan could get back to Shuyu, Huo Zhanting came instead.

Shen Qinglan felt that she was not a real little girl anymore, but when she saw Huo Zhanting, she couldn't help blushing.

On the contrary, Huo Zhanting seemed to have not said those words to her yesterday. After entering the room, he saw the maid dressing Shen Qinglan, smiled and said:

"I'm afraid I'll be back a little late today, so I'm telling you this."

"Ah."

"I heard that you like to eat the Shao's wontons on South Street. I went to buy some early in the morning. You can try them later."

"Ah."

"Don't worry about Princess Zhaoyang. His Majesty won't let Zhaoyang do anything reckless. I've also asked the gatekeeper to keep an eye on her. If she comes, she won't be allowed into the palace."

"Ah."

Huo Zhanting looked at Shen Qinglan's blushing cheeks. She was obviously uneasy, but still pretended to be calm and nodded. He couldn't help but laugh.

He did not regret expressing his feelings to Shen Qinglan last night.

These days, Huo Zhanting has been trying to restrain himself.

He felt that Shen Qinglan was so perfect and as dazzling as a pearl in the sky, and he should not have any contact with her.

but……

Whenever he thought of Shen Qinglan pushing him away, he felt uncomfortable.

Huo Zhanting has reached this position because he is not the kind of person who mistreats or suppresses his inner self.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, so you should act promptly when it is time to do so. Otherwise, if the timing is missed, it will be equivalent to missing the opportunity, which will only lead to regret!

The same is true between people.

Huo Zhanting figured it out. Since Shen Qinglan did not leave at the beginning, it meant that their relationship was predestined.

Why should I become one of those timid and dithering men?

Since she is his daughter-in-law, he can't let her run away.

Since it is a pearl from the sky, he should just hold it carefully.

Look, now that this has been said, can his wife still treat him as an ordinary partner?

Thinking of this, Huo Zhanting smiled even more complacently.

When Huo Zhanting left, Shen Qinglan still felt her face getting hot.

Even in his previous life, Li Youyun had never said such straightforward words to her.

Shen Qinglan reached out and touched his face. As a military general, he was not at all reserved...

Shuwen looked at her eldest daughter's blushing cheeks and thought of what Huo Zhanting had said before he left, and she suddenly realized something.

oh ho...

Is their eldest daughter shy?

Shuyu had returned with Bing at this time, and as she came in she kept mumbling:

"Miss, I just heard someone say that our War King went to South Street to queue up to buy Shaw's Chaos in the early morning. It's really interesting. Why do you have to go to South Street to buy Chaos? We have it in our house."

As Shuyu asked someone to put down the ice, she saw a bowl of wontons on the side and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"What a coincidence? Miss is also eating wontons today?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan glared at Shuyu in anger and said:

"I see you have some free time, why don't you go to the library and take out the books to dry them out in the sun?"

"Eh?" Shuyu looked confused and innocent. What happened? What did she say wrong?

Seeing this, Shu Wen chuckled, walked over and grabbed Shu Yu by the back of his collar, and led him out:

"Miss, take your time. I'll accompany Shuyu."
