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

After Huo Junyu was kissed by Shen Qinglan, he felt that his mother's body was sweet and soft.

Moreover, this was the first time that his mother was so close to him, and her little face immediately turned red.

Huo Junyu's eyes were erratic, and he stretched out his hands to cover his face with embarrassment, with the corners of his mouth raised wildly, and said:

"Mother, you, you are really..."

Huo Jingyi looked at Huo Junyu with shock and envy, her cheeks puffed up, and her big eyes stared at Huo Junyu:

"Brother, you are so mean! You actually prepared the gift secretly!"

Huo Junyu chuckled and made a smug face.

Who wouldn't want to compete for favor?

Last time, the eldest brother and the third sister competed for favor, this time, he will definitely win! Mother will definitely like him the most!

Huo Jingyi felt that her second brother was a little unfair, so she waved her little fist and pouted unhappily.

Seeing that the little girl was unhappy, Shen Qinglan stretched out her hand and pinched her chubby face, saying with a smile: "You will become ugly if you get angry often, right?"

Upon hearing this, the little guy's eyes widened, and he quickly covered his cheeks with his hands, shaking his head desperately:

"Yier doesn't want to become ugly. If she becomes ugly, mother won't like her anymore!"

However, Huo Junyan glanced at Huo Junyu, a smile flashed in his eyes, and then he took out a scroll and spread it out, saying to Shen Qinglan:

"This is a poem Yan'er wrote for mother and father's wedding. It's not very good, mother, please bear with it."

Shen Qinglan took the scroll and looked at the poem on it with some surprise, a look of joy and delight.

Both the handwriting and the poem are beautifully written.

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but look at Huo Junyan, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head with a smile and praised:

"It seems that Yan Ge'er has been working very hard these days. Three years later, Yan Ge'er can go and take the exam. It would be great if he can pass, but if he fails, it can also be used as experience."

Shen Qinglan's words could be regarded as a great recognition of Huo Junyan. Huo Junyan immediately saluted properly and responded obediently.

Huo Junyu and Huo Jingyi on the side widened their eyes.

Good guy!

As expected, when it comes to people vying for favor, it’s their eldest brother!

Huo Junyu was scratching his head, while Huo Jingyi was jumping anxiously.

The two little guys are not yet able to compose poems at will like Huo Junyan without shouting!

Shen Qinglan and Huo Zhanting looked at the two little guys who were stamping their feet anxiously and laughed.

Without paying any more attention to the children who were grief-stricken, Shen Qinglan and Huo Zhanting walked up to the old princess and greeted her.

The old princess happily raised her hand and held Shen Qinglan's hand, and said with a happy face:

"Alright, alright, we're a family, why should we be so formal? There's no need to be so fussy about these etiquettes, especially Qinglan, you must have been exhausted yesterday, right?"

Even though Shen Qinglan had lived two lives, he couldn't help blushing at this moment. He coughed lightly, feeling quite embarrassed.

Huo Zhanting hurried to help and smiled at the old princess:

"Mom, please don't bully Lan'er."

When the old princess heard this, she immediately snorted at Huo Zhanting with a frown on her face:

"Just don't bully Qinglan. How could I possibly bully her? Qinglan is my beloved daughter-in-law. I can live without you, but I can't live without Qinglan."

"Mom..." Huo Zhanting looked at his own mother and smiled bitterly.

At this moment, a voice sounded:

"Mother! Brother, eldest sister-in-law! You are all here? I just want to introduce someone to you."

As soon as Huo Qiyu's voice was heard, Huo Qiyu was seen running in hurriedly, pulling a girl.

Huo Qiyu's speed was too fast. The girl staggered several steps and almost fell down.

Shen Qinglan helplessly supported Huo Qiyu who was rushing too fast, and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Seeing Huo Qiyu so impatient, the old princess immediately gave him a lecture:

"Look at you, girl. How come you have no manners at all? How can anyone be like you?"

When Huo Qiyu heard the old princess scolding her, she did not get angry or refute. Instead, she just laughed and stuck out her tongue, looking extremely cute.

Then he smiled ingratiatingly at Shen Qinglan, and then pulled the people around him out and said:

"Mom, sister-in-law, this is the classmate I told you about before. Mom, please don't lecture me in front of my classmate. Give me some face!"

The old princess listened to Huo Qiyu's introduction and smiled lovingly at the girl. Then she couldn't help but scolded Huo Qiyu with a smile: "You also know how to be ashamed?"

Shen Qinglan smiled and held the old princess, patted her hand soothingly, then looked at the woman next to Huo Qiyu and asked with a smile:

"Mother, my second sister finally brought back a friend. I saw the signs of this girl's birth. I wonder what her name is?"

"Princess Zhan, my daughter's name is Yu Pan'er, she is from Lingcheng, and she is seventeen this year."

Shen Qinglan smiled and nodded. Before she could say anything, Huo Qiyu said cheerfully:

"Pan'er is amazing. She has a sharp mind and many good ideas. This time when she comes to Beijing, she will definitely work with me to make something big!"

Shen Qinglan glanced at Huo Qiyu with some amusement.

After all, this girl is too well protected by her family.

How could she know that in the capital, every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Every three steps away you can find a third-rank official, and every five steps away you can find a royal relative.

If they were really allowed to rely on Gu Yong to do business, they would probably end up in disgrace within a month.

However, since I asked Huo Qiyu to call Yu Paner over, I must have thought it through.

Yu Paner has some unique ideas, and she has connections and resources, so when they work together, this is naturally a sure-win deal.

The old princess was old after all, and she was not familiar with Yu Pan'er, who was a junior, so she simply let Shen Qinglan entertain her and she went away to slack off, using the excuse of being tired.

Shen Qinglan naturally did not expose the old princess's excuse and just agreed with a smile.

Although Huo Zhanting also wanted to leave, he was reluctant to leave because his sister had brought these people with him and his wife was also there. He sat next to Shen Qinglan calmly.

A few people were chatting, with Huo Qiyu making jokes and Shen Qinglan saying a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Although Huo Zhanting didn't say anything, he was silently peeling walnuts and placing the walnut kernels intact in front of Shen Qinglan.

Those narrow eyes never left Shen Qinglan's face for a moment. Their look was so gentle that it seemed as if they wanted to drown people.

Yu Paner's appearance was not particularly stunning, but her eyes looked very bright and clear, like an elf who was ignorant of the world.

During the conversation, Shen Qinglan also heard that Yu Paner's family background was not high; she was just an ordinary peasant girl.

She is the third child in the family, with two older sisters and a younger brother. "Pan'er, Pan'er" naturally means she is hoping for a son.

However, although Yu Pan'er was not born in a high-class family, she had some abilities. After learning that a women's college had been opened in Lingcheng, she managed to enter the college and thus escaped from the control of her Yu family.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but sigh with sympathy:

"It's not easy for Miss Pan'er to get to this point."

Yu Paner smiled slightly, looked at Huo Qiyu, and said with a serious expression of gratitude:

"Speaking of which, it was Yu'er who helped me a lot, otherwise I would have been sold by my parents to my brother in exchange for a dowry. Now that we are in the capital, Pan'er is bound to make a name for himself."

"Miss Pan'er has such insight, which is not inferior to that of men. It is admirable."

Shen Qinglan looked at Yu Paner and actually seemed to be impressed by her.
