Shen Qinglan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Shuwen's murderous look.

The originally solemn atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

Shen Qinglan put down the account book in his hand, shook his head, pushed Shuwen's hand holding the sword, and Changjiang was sheathed.

"We haven't investigated this matter thoroughly yet, so we can't just do it casually. Besides, she's the War King's concubine. If you kill her, wouldn't that be considered as going against the War King?"

"Miss is right. We must not let the War King know that it was us who did it."

Shuwen hugged the sword to his chest again and nodded seriously.

Shu Yu, who was standing by, stroked his chin, looked at Shen Qinglan cautiously and suggested:

"How about we hire someone to kill someone? If I hire someone to kill someone, I'll cover myself up tightly and no one will know it was me who did it!"

"This is a brilliant plan," Shuwen agreed.

"..."

Shen Qinglan looked at Shuwen and then at Shuyu, and began to consider whether he should replace his subordinates with serious ones who could give him advice.

"We can't kill people for now. Don't keep thinking about killing people. Shuwen, go check the background of Wen Dingxuan and that woman. We will make a long-term plan."

"Okay..." Shuwen and Shuyu were obviously a little disappointed.

In fact, the best countermeasure for anyone who threatens the status of her lady is to kill them all!

What a pity, the lady is kind-hearted!

Huo Junyu's poison has been mostly resolved, but he still needs treatment.

Huo Junyan felt extremely guilty towards Huo Junyu, so he has been taking good care of his younger brother these days and can be said to be very devoted.

Huo Junyu had just sent Huo Junyan to buy cakes for him, so he was lying on the bed, eating melon seeds while arrogantly saying to Shen Qinglan:

"My eldest brother said I was stupid, but he himself was stupid. He was tricked into buying a poisonous snake, which almost killed you and me."

"Don't bother with him. I've really tortured him these past few days, so I'm venting my anger for you."

Shen Qinglan was taking Huo Junyu's pulse and couldn't help laughing when she heard the other party's precocious words.

Looking at the little guy's round face in the past two days, he withdrew his hand and tapped him on the head, pretending to be serious and said:

"You have no respect for your parents. What are you talking about? Can't you call for help?"

Huo Junyu covered his head in pain, his face wrinkled, and he looked at Shen Qinglan with resentment and said:

"I was just venting my anger for you, but you didn't praise me and hit me... That's so unreasonable..."

After saying that, seeing Shen Qinglan raising her hand to hit him on the head again, he immediately hugged Shen Qinglan's arm and said in a flattering manner with a smile:

"Mother, mother, please stop hitting me. If you keep hitting me, I will become stupid! If I become stupid, how can I learn archery from you? My Bicha bow is already thirsty for it!"

Shen Qinglan listened to the little guy's irresponsible words, which he had learned from nowhere, and pulled his hand away with anger and amusement, pinched his nose, and said with a little intimacy:

"How stupid can you be? I think you are quite smart."

As he spoke, Shen Qinglan stuffed the bowl of medicine that had been prepared beside him into Huo Junyu's hand and said:

"Drink it. Your body will need at least half a month to recover. Before that, don't even think about it."

"what?"

Huo Junyu frowned and looked at Shen Qinglan with a hint of suspicion. Another half month? Was it really not intentional?

Shen Qinglan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Huo Jingyi, who was standing by, happened to be holding her medicine, and she immediately touched the medicine bowl in Huo Junyu's hand.

With a "clang" sound, Huo Jingyi said in a baby voice:

"Brother, cheers!"

Huo Junyu looked at his little sister's silly look and couldn't help rolling his eyes. He drank the medicine in his hand in one gulp, looking so heroic.

Huo Junyu's mouth twitched, and he sighed:

"Well, my elder brother is stupid, my younger sister is also stupid, but I am smart! From now on, this Zhan Palace will have to rely on me!"

Hearing this, Huo Jingyi looked at Huo Junyu with sparkling eyes and asked curiously:

"Brother, do you plan to take over from Dad and become the future God of War of the Great Yong Dynasty?"

"Of course! You are a girl, and where is your elder brother? You can't lift your hands or carry anything on your shoulders. The only one you can rely on is me!"

Huo Junyu felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, especially now that he had a cheap stepmother. Tsk...

When Huo Junyu thought of this, he glanced at Shen Qinglan and felt that his stepmother was really like a fairy and must be unable to endure hardship.

What if when my father gets old, there is no one to earn military merits, how can he support this beautiful stepmother?

Alas, we still have to rely on him! He really bears the weight that life cannot bear!

Huo Jingyi listened to her second brother's words, and gave Huo Junyu a thumbs up with admiration, praising him:

"Second brother is awesome! Come on, second brother!"

Huo Junyu glanced at Huo Jingyi, sighed, and drank the medicine in his hand.

The little face was wrinkled by the bitterness of the medicine, and it looked as if the wine made him even more sad.

Shen Qinglan looked at the innocent appearance of the two little guys and couldn't help but slightly curved her eyebrows.

Sure enough, the child is kind-hearted by nature. It has only been a short time, but he has already changed his appearance.

at night.

Prince Zhan’s palace looked increasingly dignified.

Xiao Shanzi lay on his wooden bed, feeling excruciating pain.

Just twenty strokes of the cane, everyone thought that these twenty strokes were just minor injuries and no one cared at all.

And because Huo Junyan had to take care of Huo Junyu these days, he hadn't come to see him again.

Almost all the servants in the mansion have been replaced, so how could anyone know that he is suffering here?

With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open.

When Xiao Shanzi saw the person coming, he shouted excitedly, "Cui Ping! You're here!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Cuiping quickly closed the door and ran up to cover Xiaoshanzi's mouth.

Xiao Shanzi slapped Cuiping's hand away, then lowered his voice and said with a hint of complaint:

"Why did you come just now? I was beaten so badly that I almost died! You just came to see me? Do you have a conscience?"

Upon hearing this, Cuiping quickly hugged Xiaoshanzi's arm and said in a tender voice:

"Brother Shan, how could I not come to see you? You know, didn't the princess beat me that day? Besides, everyone in this mansion has been replaced. Even if I want to come, I have to find an opportunity..."

Xiao Shanzi had been in so much pain these past two days, but he was a lustful man after all. When he heard Cui Ping's coquettish words, he couldn't help but pinch her perky buttocks and said:

"Does it hurt? If I had hit you like this in the past, you wouldn't have cried out in pain."

"Oh...Brother Shan, you are so bad..." Cuiping's face flushed red, she gently hit the little Shanzi's chest, her eyes were seductive.

Xiao Shanzi almost couldn't hold himself back, but luckily he was injured and couldn't move, so he could only hold Cuiping and touch her for a few times. Then he thought of the important matter and said:

"I have done such a great thing for your young lady. Your young lady promised to give me enough money and also promised you to me. I did all this for you."

"When the time comes, we'll leave the palace together, buy some land, become small landlords, have a few more children, and live a good life."

"I think this new princess is not easy to fool. Your daughter may not be able to defeat her. It's better for us to leave quickly."

Cui Ping had a complicated expression when she heard Xiao Shanzi's words, but she still seemed to have made up her mind. She nodded and smiled:

"Well, I know. I'll just urge you these days. Here, this is the medicine I prepared for you. You'll get better soon after drinking it."

Xiaoshanzi did not suspect anything and let Cuiping serve him while he drank the medicine.

Cuiping waited until Xiaoshanzi fell asleep before leaving. But before leaving she bit her lip and said: Xiaoshanzi, don't blame me.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to go with Xiaoshanzi, it’s just that she knows the young lady too well. How could the young lady let go of someone who knows so many of her secrets?
