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

When Huo Zhanting returned to the mansion, the sky had already darkened.

Shen Qinglan was lying on the chaise longue with a book in her hand and had fallen asleep.

When Shuyu saw Huo Zhanting coming back, she was about to speak, but Huo Zhanting raised his hand to stop her.

Seeing this, Shuyu nodded in understanding and turned to leave.

After a while, Huo Zhanting and Shen Qinglan were the only ones left in the room.

Huo Zhanting did not disturb Shen Qinglan. He just picked up the book in Shen Qinglan's hand and sat beside her to read.

Another half hour passed before Shen Qinglan woke up.

Against the light, she saw the figure sitting opposite her. She was stunned for a moment and said in a hoarse voice:

"How long have you been back? Why didn't you wake me up?"

Huo Zhanting raised his eyes, put down the book in his hand, smiled and stretched out his hand to help Shen Qinglan sit up, then said:

"It wasn't long before I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you."

Then, Huo Zhanting heard Shen Qinglan's voice, which was a little hoarse from sleeping for a long time, so he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan didn't hesitate, took a sip, and then asked:

"What information did you find out?"

Huo Zhanting nodded slightly.

Just now, Li Wu went to Jiang's house on the pretext of having a stomachache and went around the house to check things out.

However, the Jiang family’s security was very tight, and even Li Wu could only wander around the outer courtyard and could not enter the inner courtyard at all.

Fortunately, Li Wu was lucky and happened to see the man with a big black mole on his face in the outer courtyard.

However, the man was not a member of the Jiang family. He seemed to be a distant relative of the Jiang family's housekeeper, and he often sent things from the farm to the mansion.

Today is the day when that man will deliver the gift.

"I have already sent someone to keep an eye on him. If you want to interrogate him, I will have him brought here."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, looked at Huo Zhanting with a smile and said meaningfully:

"Prince Zhan, why did the Jiang family send Liu and his family here for no reason? Was it just to ruin Chu Yingyue's reputation?"

Huo Zhanting really didn't understand. Chu Yingyue was not going to marry him, so why did the Jiang family go to so much trouble?

"I have not yet found out what is behind Prime Minister Jiang. Maybe it is related to this." Huo Zhanting said.

However, after Huo Zhanting said this, he found that Shen Qinglan's eyes were always on him, with a look of interest.

Huo Zhanting couldn't help but cough, his ears turned red, and he said:

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Shen Qinglan did not answer, but stretched out her hand and gently stroked Huo Zhanting's handsome face, and couldn't help but sighed:

"No wonder, King Zhan is so handsome, no wonder there are so many peach blossoms."

Shen Qinglan sighed, and when the delicate jade-like fingers touched her cheek, Huo Zhanting's face turned a little redder.

Huo Zhanting felt as if a kitten was scratching his heart, making him feel itchy and unbearable.

Huo Zhanting's eyes were filled with mist, and he couldn't help it. He stretched out his big hand and pressed down Shen Qinglan's evil hand, saying in a hoarse voice:

"If you have something to say, just say it. What is this for?"

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Huo Zhanting, who looked like a pitiful little white rabbit about to be eaten.

A man who fathered three children is so innocent?

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan said with a smile:

"I just think that the War King is so charming that thousands of women flock to him just to serve him."

"Not to mention that Princess Zhaoyang ignored the imperial decree and directly kidnapped Doctor Gu to cure the King of War's leg disease, even Miss Jiang used this self-torture trick for the King of War..."

It is said that beautiful women are the root of trouble, but in Shen Qinglan's opinion, handsome men are even more powerful.

Huo Zhanting understood, and tightened his grip on Shen Qinglan's hand, saying seriously:

"You mean, Liu was brought here by Jiang Wan? But why?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan glanced at Huo Zhanting, coughed lightly and said:

"Because at that time I thought Chu Yingyue was your sweetheart hidden in your golden house, and I asked the servants to do it, which was also the ceremony of taking a concubine."

Therefore, even if Shen Qinglan did not publicize it with fanfare, anyone who was interested would have thought that Prince Zhan's mansion was going to take a concubine.

In the entire Prince Zhan’s Mansion, besides Huo Zhanting, the only male master, who else would take a concubine?

Jiang Wan had just returned from her grandparents' house when she heard the news. How could she bear it?

Naturally, he took great pains to get Liu here just to ruin Chu Yingyue's reputation and prevent her from entering the Prince's Palace.

It’s a pity that this matter was originally a misunderstanding of Shen Qinglan, which caused Chu Yingyue to suffer in vain.

Huo Zhanting was silent for a while after hearing this, and explained seriously: "But I am not familiar with Miss Jiang, and her behavior is really despicable."

Huo Zhanting felt deeply guilty when he thought that it was because of him that Chu Yingyue was implicated, and naturally he disdained Jiang Wan's behavior even more.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan did not comment, but took out a list and placed it in front of Huo Zhanting.

Huo Zhanting took a look and was a little surprised.

These lists are all the women who have had contact with Huo Zhanting over the years and their current status.

And these so-called contacts were either people who spoke to Huo Zhanting or people who were helped by Huo Zhanting.

What’s important is that these women didn’t end up well.

Some were married off, some died in accidents, and some were sent to become nuns.

In short, if Shen Qinglan had not intentionally investigated, she would not have known that these women lived such miserable lives.

After seeing the list, Huo Zhanting's pupils shrank slightly, his face looked a little ugly, and he said with a hint of anger:

"Is it Jiang Wan?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head: "Not sure, but it cannot be ruled out that it is related to her."

Among those women who liked Huo Zhanting or had contact with Huo Zhanting, there were only a few who had not been dealt with.

One is Princess Zhaoyang. Given Princess Zhaoyang’s identity and background, it is extremely difficult to deal with her.

Besides, Huo Zhanting was not very warm towards Princess Zhaoyang, perhaps that was why he escaped the disaster.

The second one was Xie Wanying in the past. However, Xie Wanying was in Prince Zhan’s mansion at that time and had a special status. She was also announced to the outside world as Prince Zhan’s adopted sister.

Jiang Wan was also afraid that if she dealt with Xie Wanying, she would get into trouble, so Xie Wanying could be safe.

The third one is Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan knew that she was able to marry safely into Prince Zhan's mansion because the old Prince Zhan had just passed away, and the old princess wanted to take advantage of the recent death to quickly find a wife for Huo Zhanting.

Three months was already a tight time frame, and Jiang Wan was at her maternal grandparents' home, so it was too late.

Huo Zhanting obviously thought of this as well, and he couldn't help but hold Shen Qinglan's hand with some fear, saying:

"If that's the case, then Jiang Wan might have bad intentions in taking this opportunity to get close to you. Why did you let her get close to you?"

When Shen Qinglan saw Huo Zhanting frowning, his handsome face looked even more attractive.

Shen Qinglan looked away, looked at the candlelight beside him, and said meaningfully:

"No risk of exposure, no gain of cubs? The best strategy is to change from light to darkness."

In Shen Qinglan's eyes, the most annoying thing is being passive, so she will turn everything passive into active.

If Jiang Wan wants to plot against her, he has to look at Jiang Wan's abilities and methods.

She is waiting here.
