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

Chapter 54: Awkward identity, neither legitimate nor illegitimate...

At this moment, Shu Yu was standing behind Shen Qinglan, with a tense face, looking at Huo Junyan suspiciously.

Being stared at like this by Shuyu, Huo Junyan felt as if his secrets were exposed. He was a little angry and shouted:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shu Yu looked at the young man in front of her who looked timid, but she was not frightened by Huo Junyan at all.

But seeing that handsome face had turned red with anger, as if it would break in the next moment, he lowered his voice and muttered:

"You are talking nonsense. Wouldn't you know everything after you interrogate Cai Ping? You are not the kind of person who would rush to kill someone to silence him and destroy the body? If someone doesn't know, they would think you and that person are in cahoots."

"you……"

Huo Junyan pointed his finger at Shuyu and trembled with anger.

He is the eldest son of Prince Zhan's Mansion and has always been intelligent. When others meet him, they all flatter him.

How could this maidservant in front of him be so angry that she made him angry again and again!

However, Huo Junyan felt guilty and was unable to refute.

What is murder and heart-breaking?

Shen Qinglan glanced at the girl Shuyu, and a hint of smile flashed in his eyes.

Although this girl is carefree and has never won in arguments with Shuwen, once she fights with someone else, she can make them angry to death.

Seeing that Shuyu wanted to say more, Shen Qinglan raised his hand to stop him.

If you keep talking about this, you might as well make this little guy angry to death.

Shen Qinglan stood up and walked to Huo Junyan's side, saying softly:

"Don't be angry, Brother Yan. I know what you are thinking. You value feelings, and it is understandable that you want to protect Miss Xie, but..."

"Shuyu is not the only one in Prince Zhan's mansion. If Shuyu can say these words, won't others say them too?"

"You executed Cai Ping so quietly. You didn't help Miss Xie. Instead, you put her in an unjust position."

Although Huo Junyan was very angry with Shu Yu at this time, after listening to Shen Qinglan's words, he suddenly felt that there was some truth in them, and he calmed down a little.

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan finally sighed slightly.

Of course, Huo Junyan was so anxious to deal with the colored screen not just because he wanted to avenge Xiao Shanzi.

Huo Junyan's ability to use the clues she gave him to unravel the mystery bit by bit and find Cai Ping was enough to prove his intelligence. So how could he not be suspicious about this matter?

Caiping is Xie Wanying's personal maid. Besides, Caiping has no grudges against Huo Junyu, nor any conflicts of interest. How could she possibly harm Huo Junyu?

And now, Cai Ping has really done these things to harm her master, so, does her master Xie Wanying really not know... or is she pretending not to know?

Or maybe it was Xie Wanying who ordered it?

But does Huo Junyan dare to think about it?

He didn't even dare to think so.

In his heart, Xie Wanying was just the older sister who grew up with them and was no different from a family member. How could she possibly harm Huo Junyu?

He didn't want to damage the reputation of Xie Wanying, who was pure and innocent in his heart, so he took advantage of the middle of the night and quickly attacked Cai Ping.

As long as Caiping is killed, everything will be sealed.

Xie Wanying will still be the perfect and kind Xie Wanying in our memory!

But the reason why Shen Qinglan asked Huo Junyan to investigate was because there were some things that Huo Junyan could do but she couldn't.

Firstly, if she took action against Xie Wanying, even if it was reasonable and irrefutable, it would inevitably create a rift between her and the old Princess Zhan.

Secondly, she asked Huo Junyan to take action because she wanted Huo Junyan to see for himself what the person he was protecting looked like.

However, I gave Huo Junyan the chance not for him to cover up for Xie Wanying!

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan said to Huo Junyan:

"In your heart, what kind of person is your sister Xie?"

"Of course he is very good and kind!" Huo Junyan answered without thinking, paused, and then said:

"When I was five years old, I had smallpox. It was Sister Xie who stayed by my side and saved me! When I fell into the water when I was six years old, it was Sister Xie who jumped in to save me without hesitation!"

"She is so kind, how could she do something that would harm Yu Ge'er and you?"

Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Junyan's confident expression, smiled slightly, looked directly into Huo Junyan's eyes, and asked:

"If that's the case, why don't you dare to interrogate?"

"You are so anxious to deal with the color screen. It's obvious that you don't trust your sister Xie, right?"

"If this matter remains unclear, how will your sister Xie survive in the palace in the future?"

Shen Qinglan had the ability to take Cai Ping away for interrogation, but she didn't.

She wanted Huo Junyan to tear off Xie Wanying's mask himself, and let him see the resentment beneath the innocent mask.

Shen Qinglan could see that Xie Wanying was very hostile towards her arrival.

Judging from the contact during these days, she might have already considered the position of Princess Zhan as hers.

And in Xie Wanying's view, wasn't my arrival just stealing her place?

Therefore, she could understand why Xie Wanying wanted to eliminate her.

However, she couldn't understand why Xie Wanying would harm the child she had personally watched grow up in order to eliminate her!

Instead of saying these things myself, Huo Junyan and the others will feel that I am slandering them, so I can only let them check and see for themselves!

Huo Junyan finally came back to his senses, looked at the colorful screen that was pressed to the ground, and immediately gritted his teeth and said:

"Interrogate! Interrogate carefully! I will never let Sister Xie's reputation be damaged!"

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan smiled, reached out and patted Huo Junyan on the shoulder, saying:

"You are the eldest son of your War King. You will definitely shoulder the burden of the War King's Mansion in the future. Mother hopes that you can handle this matter well. When your father returns, you will be transferred to my name first."

After saying this, Shen Qinglan stood up and left with everyone without even looking back.

Huo Junyan looked at Shen Qinglan's back and was somewhat shocked.

she……

She said that she would shoulder the future of the Zhan Palace?

Meaning...she intends to let herself inherit the title?

Huo Junyan is already eight years old and already knows a lot of things.

Although their father placed their mother's tablet in the ancestral hall, they had never worshipped the heaven and earth properly. As a result, the identities of the three of them were very awkward, neither legitimate nor illegitimate...

But Shen Qinglan actually planned to register them under her name, which would truly acknowledge their status as legitimate children!

Not only that, he also became the legitimate eldest son of Prince Zhan's Mansion!

but……

This stepmother is young and beautiful. She will surely be loved by the father and give birth to her own children in the future...

If she gave him the identities of the legitimate son and the eldest son, in the future... could she really be willing?

Huo Junyan couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it. He pursed his lips, turned around, looked at the color screen, and suddenly calmed down and asked:

"Are you going to say it yourself, or..."
