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

The next morning, Lady Zhao Chunlan, wife of Marquis Jing'an, had already prepared herself.

The expensive fabrics and jewelry on her body seemed to be showing off her nobility.

After finishing her tidying up, Lady Jing'an looked at herself in the mirror with great satisfaction.

Although there are some signs of aging on her face, she still has some charm thanks to proper maintenance.

She looked at her own face and felt a lot of emotions in her heart.

In the past, she was just a merchant's daughter. She had never thought in her life that she would be able to marry Marquis Jing'an and have the opportunity to attend banquets in the palace.

It’s also thanks to their capable Marquis!

"Is Li'er here?" Zhao Chunlan asked the nanny beside her after she stood up.

"I'm coming, the second young lady has heard your letter and is waiting outside, but..."

When the nanny beside Zhao Chunlan said this, she looked at Zhao Chunlan's face hesitantly and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Just say what you want to say." Zhao Chunlan frowned slightly and shouted directly.

"The second young lady is here, but... she also brought her second young lady's two children with her..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunlan was so angry that she slammed the table and went straight to the outer room.

Sure enough, at a glance, Shen Qingli was seen sitting there with a gloomy face, and there were two children beside her. They were Li Youyun’s two concubines, Li Tingsheng and Li Yunling!

The two children seemed a little shy and were looking at the mansion cautiously with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Although the Li family is considered an aristocratic family, Li Youyun's father is a playboy with no ability, so the second branch of the Li family is just a parasite that relies on the first branch for survival.

As a result, the courtyard of the second branch of the Li family is naturally a bit shabby, and it is incomparable to this marquis' mansion.

When Zhao Chunlan saw this scene, she almost couldn't hold back her expression, and said to Shen Qingli in a cold voice:

"Li'er, what are you bringing them here for?"

Zhao Chunlan also felt that it was an honor for her family to be able to enter the palace and attend this Spring Banquet. She would naturally not forget Shen Qingli for such a great opportunity, which was why she allowed Shen Qingli to go along.

Originally I was thinking that if I could bring Shen Qinglan along, bringing Shen Qingli into the palace would be a piece of cake!

But now, Shen Qingli actually brought her two children with her, which naturally made Zhao Chunlan unhappy.

When Shen Qingli saw Zhao Chunlan coming, she immediately felt aggrieved.

Ever since she married into the Li family, there has been no peace!

Not only is there a new vixen Feng Jingrou, but there are also two new bastards!

However, Li Youyun's mother was originally a concubine and was not presentable. Not only was she very picky about her, the legitimate daughter of the marquis's mansion, she was also opposed to Feng Jingrou, who was also a concubine, and she was very fond of her.

In addition, Feng Jingrou also gave birth to those two children, so Li Youyun's mother was naturally heartbroken.

As for Li Youyun's unfavored stepmother, for some reason, she also liked Feng Jingrou and the two children very much, and from time to time she would praise the two children as the hope of the second house...

The whole family treats these two concubines as treasures!

Originally, Shen Qingli at least had a sister-in-law, Jiang, to talk to in the second branch of the Li family. But since Shen Qinglan reminded her last time that she was plotted against by Jiang, she had a big fight with Jiang when she returned and was completely disgraced!

So Shen Qingli has been having a hard time in the second branch of the Li family these days!

I finally had the chance to go into the palace with Zhao Chunlan to get some fresh air and see the world, but I encountered such a bad thing!

Zhao Chunlan saw how haggard Shen Qingli had become in such a short time, and she immediately felt distressed. She forgot to scold her, and held her hand and said distressedly:

"What's wrong? Don't cry, tell mother and she will definitely make the decision for you!"

Shen Qingli held Zhao Chunlan's arm and said with red eyes:

"It's all because of that bitch Feng Jingrou! She whispered something in the old hag's ear, and the old hag forced my father-in-law and husband to bring me along, saying that..."

"She said that this bastard is my husband's eldest son after all, so he must see the world! She also said that if I don't bring him, I won't be allowed to go!"

Whenever Shen Qingli thought about the scene when the second family forced her to bring the two bastards here, she would tremble with anger!

Zhao Chunlan couldn't help but frown when she heard this, and she gritted her teeth in anger and said:

"You damned girl, you insisted on dragging me into marriage exchange! Now you know how to cry? If you were the Princess of Zhan now, would I still need to beg that girl to join you?"

Shen Qingli was scolded, and a moment of hesitation flashed through her mind, but soon she thought of what happened in her previous life, and immediately stubbornly argued:

"Mother! My suffering is only temporary! Just wait! It won't be long before my husband will pass the imperial examination and become the highest official in the country! By then, I will be a royal lady! I will definitely trample Shen Qinglan under my feet."

"You...you..." Zhao Chunlan was so angry that she couldn't help but pat her chest desperately and said in a low voice:

"You just did it for a dream? What if that dream was false? What if the War King wasn't paralyzed? What if Li Youyun didn't win the top three prizes in a row and become the highest official in the country?"

When Zhao Chunlan thought about this, she couldn't help but get angry.

She had put in a lot of effort to get a marriage with Prince Zhan!

But Shen Qingli actually told her a bunch of messed up dreams, and her words were so convincing!

He even threatened her with death, but she loved her daughter so much that she changed their marriage!

But now, Prince Zhan’s Mansion doesn’t look like it’s about to collapse!

On the contrary, as for Li Youyun, whom Shen Qingli boasted about, so far, she has not seen Li Youyun have the ability to win three prizes in a row!

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingli tightly grasped Zhao Chunlan's hand and said firmly:

"Mother! Yes! It will definitely happen! Believe me! My husband has already started studying hard. Just wait and see what happens next year!"

Seeing Shen Qingli's determination, Zhao Chunlan sighed helplessly, patted her shoulder and said:

"Okay, okay, I believe you! My Li'er will definitely be more successful than that damn girl! My daughter will definitely live a better life than that man's daughter!"

Since the two children were brought here, there was no reason to throw them back.

Zhao Chunlan glanced at the two men unkindly and said:

"Now that you are here, be honest. If you offend the nobles after entering the palace, I will save you."

The two little guys listened to Zhao Chunlan's words and nodded repeatedly.

At this time, the servant came to report:

"Madam, the carriage from Prince Zhan's mansion has arrived and is waiting outside."

Zhao Chunlan's expression immediately became better when she heard this. She smiled and said to Shen Qingli:

"You, learn from me. Even if she is married, she will obey my orders even if she is Princess Zhan."

Shen Qingli's expression was somewhat relieved. She glared at Li Tingsheng and Li Yunling fiercely, then hugged Zhao Chunlan's arm and praised:

"Mother is right! No matter what Shen Qinglan does, she can't escape from your grasp."

Zhao Chunlan patted Shen Qingli's hand proudly, and then said:

"Let's go, don't keep people waiting."

When Shen Qingli, Zhao Chunlan and others arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, they saw the carriage of Prince Zhan's Mansion parked there waiting.

The two men looked at each other with a hint of pride in their eyes. They walked to the front of the carriage, and before they could say anything, they saw the curtain of the carriage being lifted.

A little head popped out from inside and shouted:

"What's going on? Why are you taking so long? Don't you know that my time is precious? If you haven't come yet, I won't wait for you!"

The moment they saw this person, Shen Qingli and Zhao Chunlan's faces suddenly turned ugly...
