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

In the dining room, the three little ones’ faces were covered with a layer of stove ash, making them look like three little cats.

At this time, the three little ones had not noticed Shen Qinglan's arrival yet. They were lying on the table, fiddling with something with their little butts sticking out.

"Hey, big brother, your porridge is too watery and ugly. Move it out a little so that my big chicken drumstick can be placed in the middle!"

"Second brother, the chicken legs are so black and muddy, how can they be delicious? Move aside, the eggs fried by Yier are still the most delicious!" Huo Jingyi said in a milky voice.

"Don't fight, I'm the eldest brother. Mother said that an elder brother is like a father. You two have to listen to me!"

Huo Junyan said this seriously, pushing away the dishes prepared by his younger brothers and sisters and placing his own porridge in the middle.

Seeing this, Huo Junyu widened his eyes in shock: "Brother! Are you taking advantage of your age?"

Huo Jingyi also nodded her head heavily and said, "Big brother, you are disrespectful to your elders!"

Just as Huo Junyan was about to retort, he heard a chuckle behind him.

The three boys turned around at the same time and saw Shen Qinglan who had appeared behind them at some point and was looking at them with a smile.

Huo Jingyi immediately climbed down from the dining table, ran over happily, pounced on Shen Qinglan, hugged Shen Qinglan's thighs, and complained in a baby voice:

"Mother! You are here? Look at my elder brother and my second brother! They are bullying Yi'er!"

Huo Junyu also jumped off the table, looking at Huo Jingyi who was already in Shen Qinglan's arms with disdain and envy, secretly complaining in his heart:

The little dog really runs fast! Humph! He doesn't want to be hugged! In the future, he will be a general, a hero! He doesn't want to learn to act like a spoiled child with a little girl!

Thinking of this, Huo Junyu raised his head, straightened his spine, and said to Shen Qinglan with a proud look on his face, imitating the way an adult does:

"Mother, are you up? Then come and have breakfast. It's nothing. Yu'er just got up at 1:00 a.m. to prepare a few things. She's not tired."

As he spoke, Huo Junyu stole a glance at Shen Qinglan, his eyes full of a look of "seeking praise, seeking commendation", almost overflowing with emotion.

Shen Qinglan was amused by Huo Junyu's arrogant look, and immediately hugged Huo Jingyi and walked forward, rubbing Huo Junyu's head and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yu."

"Mother! And Yi'er is here!"

The little girl who was being held was also unhappy. She quickly stretched out her still dark little hands, held Shen Qinglan's face, and spoke to Shen Qinglan with puffed cheeks.

"Yier is great too." Shen Qinglan smiled and pinched the little girl's chubby face, then sat directly at the dining table.

Huo Junyan, who had been silent the whole time, had already silently stuffed the porridge in front of Shen Qinglan and said:

"Mother must have a poor appetite after getting up early. She must not like to eat meat. This white porridge is most suitable for her."

When Huo Junyan said this, Huo Junyu and Huo Jingyi's eyes widened, and they looked at Huo Junyan in shock, saying in unison:

"Brother! You are too scheming, aren't you?"

"Big brother! Are you lying to Yi'er?"

The two little guys stared at Huo Junyan, indignant at his behavior of competing for favor!

There was nothing else. When the three children were busy in the kitchen, Huo Junyan casually said, "Since you want to repay your mother and show filial piety, you should do something good."

After hearing this, Huo Junyu and Huo Jingyi thought it made sense and put it into practice immediately.

Unexpectedly...

Huo Junyan was misleading them on purpose! !

Huo Junyan looked at the two little ones who were indignant, smiled, and said seriously:

"A soldier never tires of deceit."

"As cunning as a fox!" Huo Junyu said angrily.

"You have ulterior motives!" Huo Jingyi echoed in a baby voice.

"A beast in human form!" Huo Junyu continued.

"He has ulterior motives!" Huo Jingyi continued.

"..."

The two kids recited all the idioms they knew at once, just like they were playing a chain game. They looked so angry, like puffer fish that were about to explode.

However, Huo Junyan, as the eldest brother, was not angry. Instead, he looked at his two younger siblings with pride when their defenses were broken, but he smiled and said nothing.

Fighting for favor requires strategy! Can you blame him?

Shen Qinglan couldn't help laughing as she watched the three little ones quarreling.

My heart seemed to be filled with an unknown warmth, and it was full of tenderness.

Although she is not the biological mother of the three little ones, at this moment, she feels that what does it matter whether they are biological mother or not?

Since they called her mother and went to great lengths to please her, she would definitely protect these three little ones for the rest of her life!

"Okay, stop making a fuss. Whether it's Yan Ge'er, Yu Ge'er, or our little Yi'er, they are all very filial children. Mother likes them all. Eat quickly before they get cold."

When Huo Junyan and others heard this, they immediately stopped arguing and started eating.

only……

As soon as the three little ones tasted it, they found it hard to swallow and spit it all out.

That white porridge smells burnt!

The chicken leg was so salty that it felt like I had drunk sea water!

Those scrambled eggs...don't even mention it, they're so sweet!

The three little ones looked worried and quickly rinsed their mouths with tea.

But Shen Qinglan in front of them continued eating with an expressionless face.

"Mother? If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it." Huo Junyan looked at Shen Qinglan in shock and tried to dissuade her.

"Yes, mother, you should stop eating!" Huo Junyu echoed with a bitter face because the chicken legs she made were not tasty.

"Mom, it's disgusting!" Huo Jingyi nodded her head.

Shen Qinglan seemed to have no sense of taste at all, and said with a smile:

"Mother thinks it's very good. If you don't like it, ask the kitchen to make it again."

"But……"

Although Huo Junyan and the other two felt happy that their hard work and efforts were recognized by Shen Qinglan, they still didn't quite believe that what they made was edible...

Shen Qinglan smiled gently, glanced at their dirty clothes, and said:

"Well, you are all dirty, go back to your room and change into clean clothes before coming back."

Although Huo Junyan and others were hesitant, they still left with half belief and a hint of happiness under Shen Qinglan's gentle and firm gaze.

"Miss, is this really delicious?"

After Huo Junyan and the others left, Shu Yu couldn't help but ask.

After all, when she and Shuwen knew that Huo Junyan and his men had gotten up early to prepare breakfast for their master, they went to taste it out of curiosity...

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan silently put down his chopsticks and said calmly:

"It's unpalatable. Tea, please, hurry up."

"Pfft..."

Shuyu and Shuwen looked at Shen Qinglan's serious expression and couldn't help laughing.

They almost thought Shen Qinglan had lost her sense of taste! So she was just holding it in?

but……

Master, do you really like those children?

Otherwise, why would I have endured and not exposed it for fear of upsetting them?

The three little ones were grateful to their master for saving them yesterday, so they cooked specially to repay him.

The master did not expose the three little ones because of their filial piety.

Isn't this mutual dedication even more valuable?

At this moment, a servant came to report:

"Princess, someone has come from the palace..."

Before Shen Qinglan could say anything, Shuyu was already frightened. He looked at Shen Qinglan nervously and asked:

"Why would someone from the palace come? Could it be that they noticed something?"

Shen Qinglan stood up, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, patted Shuyu's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Let's go and have a look."
