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

Shen Qinglan couldn't help laughing when he saw his cousin like this. It took him a while to hide his smile and he said seriously:

"Cousin, we don't have any evidence yet. We have to wait until someone comes back from Uncle Zhao Ying before we can tell you anything. I can only say that Zhao Ying is definitely not a simple person. Before we get any definite news, you'd better be careful."

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Zhao Ying could cry as soon as she said so, and every angle of her crying looked extremely beautiful, must have been something that was carefully designed and practiced.

So the question is, what kind of people need to practice their smiles and frowns?

Without evidence, Shen Qinglan was unwilling to speculate about a woman's reputation, so she could only ask Lu Huaizhu to pay more attention to it.

Lu Huaizhu knew that his cousin had always been very precise in her control of details. Since Shen Qinglan said so, there was most likely something wrong.

But, even if there really is a problem, he did... do that thing to someone else, and there's no way to escape this fact.

Lu Huaizhu sighed, and then as if he had thought of something, he took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Shen Qinglan, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"What is this? For me?"

Shen Qinglan took it curiously, opened the brocade box and took a look, only to find that there was an extremely beautiful peony hairpin in the brocade box.

The hairpin was very beautiful, but obviously, it was not suitable for her. Shen Qinglan closed the brocade box with just one glance.

When Lu Huaizhu heard what Shen Qinglan said, he wanted to explain, but fortunately Shen Qinglan saw through it at a glance, which saved him a lot of trouble. He said in a tangled manner:

"Gu Junyuan must have been offended by me. She said before that she liked peony, and I found it specifically according to her preferences. These days, she never sees me, and the gifts I sent her were returned..."

Lu Huaizhu said this and smiled bitterly.

Who would have thought that a great man like Lu Huaizhu couldn't even enter the Gu family's gate?

Thinking of this, Lu Huaizhu sighed again, and then said to Shen Qinglan:

"Please give this thing to Gu Junyuan as compensation. In addition, I have also found some news about the 100-year-old ginseng these days, and I will definitely compensate her when the time comes. Please tell her not to get angry because of me. It's not good to get herself hurt by getting angry."

Shen Qinglan was silent for a long while before looking at his cousin who had a sad face and asked:

"Cousin, you and sister Junyuan are..."

"Of course we are friends. Don't say anything that would ruin her reputation."

Lu Huaizhu was a little excited and hurriedly explained, but he probably felt that his tone was a bit too aggressive, so he quickly slowed down his tone and said self-deprecatingly:

"In fact, no matter whether Zhao Ying has a purpose or not, she and I have already had physical contact. Gu Junyuan, that girl..."

"She has always been very picky. Didn't she like the son of the Minister of Justice in the past? But when she found out that he already had a maidservant, she immediately gave up on him."

Lu Huaizhu didn't say anything else, but Shen Qinglan already understood.

How could Lu Huaizhu not have any feelings for Gu Junyuan? I'm afraid he has a lot of feelings for her!

Otherwise, she wouldn't even know that she had a love affair with the son of the Minister of Justice.

But now, he probably feels that because of what happened between him and Zhao Ying, Gu Junyuan probably looks down on him, which is why he feels inferior.

Shen Qinglan didn't expect that her cousin would be so hesitant when it came to emotional issues.

However, Shen Qinglan did not say anything to comfort Lu Huaizhu. No one can predict matters of the heart.

Whether you can be together depends not only on fate, but also on your own efforts.

The next morning, Gu Changqing found Shen Qinglan with a bruise under his eyes.

Shen Qinglan was almost frightened by Gu Changqing, and even Shu Yu couldn't help but say:

"Doctor Gu, were you possessed by another spirit last night? Why do you look like this?"

Doctor Gu felt a little embarrassed that Shuyu despised him so much, so he quickly looked at Shen Qinglan and hesitated for a long time before saying:

"I, I just have something I want to ask Junior Sister for help."

Shen Qinglan found it a little strange. This senior brother always seemed to be a man who could remain calm even if the sky fell. What could be worthy of him coming to him for help?

Shen Qinglan glanced at Shuyu, who nodded quickly and ran to make tea. Shen Qinglan then pointed to the chair and said:

"Brother, please sit down and talk."

After Gu Changqing sat down, he hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Junior sister, I know you are smart, but right now, there is a very difficult matter. I, I would like to ask you for help."

After a pause, Gu Changqing felt that this matter was a bit too much to ask, so he added:

"Big Brother doesn't want to force you, I just hope you can help me, or maybe provide some ideas."

Shen Qinglan looked at Gu Changqing and understood instantly.

Gu Changqing is so anxious, I’m afraid he is here for Princess Zhaoyang.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan glanced at Gu Changqing and asked:

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me. If I can help, there is no reason for me to refuse."

Gu Changqing was very happy to hear Shen Qinglan let go, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know where to start.

He came here to ask Shen Qinglan for help to think of a way to prevent Princess Zhaoyang from marrying.

Yesterday, when he met Princess Zhaoyang, he saw the once arrogant and domineering princess crying like a tearful person.

He felt extremely distressed, so he took the person back home to comfort him.

It was also from Princess Zhaoyang's intermittent crying that he understood that Emperor Jingren was planning to marry Princess Zhaoyang to the Holy Son of Southern Xinjiang.

Gu Changqing's heart froze at that moment, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Gu Changqing asked Princess Zhaoyang, "Don't you want to marry?"

But Princess Zhaoyang, who was usually willful and reckless, still shook her head firmly even though she was crying very sadly.

She firmly told Gu Changqing at that time that she was willing to marry a foreign prince. She had known her fate for a long time and it was most likely that she would marry a foreign prince. As long as Emperor Jingren said so, she would do it.

She is of noble status because she is supported by the people, and it is her responsibility to marry into the royal family.

However, she will take responsibility, but she still feels sad.

Princess Zhaoyang told him that she would only cry this time, and asked him not to make things difficult for her or feel sad for her.

When Princess Zhaoyang said this, it was as if her whole body was radiating light, so sacred that it made people intoxicated.

It was also because of this that after sending Princess Zhaoyang back yesterday, Gu Changqing couldn't sleep the whole night.

My mind was filled with the image of Princess Zhaoyang crying, and her determined, sacred look.

Gu Changqing knew that apart from his proficiency in medical skills, he was not very good at other things, so he came to Shen Qinglan early in the morning, hoping that Shen Qinglan could help him think of a solution.

After all, his junior sister was the smartest woman he had ever met.

If even Shen Qinglan can't do anything, then...

Then he would not let Princess Zhaoyang marry. He would give Princess Zhaoyang a fake death drug to let her escape.

only……

This is the worst option.

It seems that escaping death can avoid all of this, but on the contrary, it will also make Princess Zhaoyang completely lose all her noble status.

Princess Zhaoyang is so proud. What would happen to her if she lost her noble status?

When Gu Changqing thought of this, he just stared at Shen Qinglan, with a face full of pleading and hope.

Shen Qinglan's expression was very complicated.

Sure enough, spring has arrived, the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom.
