Shen Qinglan frowned, feeling that he had overlooked something.

First of all, this operation was originally secretive, but how could Marquis Jing'an appear at this time? Was it a coincidence or intentional?

Secondly, Shen Qinglan never believed that Marquis Jing'an had any true feelings for her mother, let alone that Marquis Jing'an would kill Zhao Chunlan for her mother?

Finally, she proposed to take her mother's body away. Under normal circumstances, how could Marquis Jing'an agree so easily?

Combining all these signs, Shen Qinglan always felt that something was wrong!

Thinking back to just now, when she mentioned the Soul-Soothing Nail and other things, the confusion in Zhao Chunlan's eyes did not seem fake. Shen Qinglan closed her eyes and dug her fingers deeply into her palms.

When he opened his eyes again, Shen Qinglan's eyes were cold and he asked Shuwen:

"You said that the carriage was damaged the day before Jinlan was brought back?"

"Yes."

"Go check how the carriage broke down! Also... go check what Marquis Jing'an has done these days!"

Shen Qinglan's instructions made Shu Wen's face suddenly change, and he asked in surprise:

"Miss, you are doubting..."

Shen Qinglan pursed her lips and said nothing more. She just leaned weakly on the carriage and closed her eyes to take a nap.

If things were really as she guessed, then... her mother's life was too sad.

After returning to the palace, Shen Qinglan specially asked people to find a new piece of Feng Shui treasured land, and also specially invited a high monk from Luojia Mountain outside the city to come and pray for his mother's soul and bury her again.

If it was in her previous life, Shen Qinglan might not believe these, but until now she still doesn't know why she was reborn. This shows that there are too many things in this world that cannot be viewed with common sense.

I would rather trust it to have it than to trust it to have nothing.

Since it was for the purpose of salvation, the birth date and time of birth were naturally needed. Shen Qinglan gave his mother's birth date and time to the abbot of Luojia Mountain, Master Ruosheng.

After Master Ruosheng looked at it, he handed the birth date and time to his disciple Wuchen behind him, and then told Wuchen to make some preparations.

Shen Qinglan clearly saw that after Wu Chen took the birth date and time, his expression suddenly changed, as if he was a little surprised.

"Master Wuchen is so surprised, is there something wrong with his birth date?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"Wu Chen?" Upon hearing this, Master Ruosheng also set his gaze on Master Wu Chen, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Wu Chen was startled, and quickly clasped his hands together and shook his head:

"Just looking at these horoscopes, it's clear that he was rich, but he died so young. It's just a pity."

Upon hearing this, Master Ruosheng could not help but frown and said, "All living beings are equal, so how can there be a distinction between rich and poor? Does that mean the poor are not a pity?"

"Master is teaching me that Wu Chen was blinded by one thing." Wu Chen quickly apologized.

Upon hearing this, Master Ruosheng waved his hand and asked him to leave, then he looked at Shen Qinglan and bowed to apologize.

Shen Qinglan smiled, not caring at all. He turned around and said to Shu Yu, "Send someone to keep an eye on Wu Chen."

"Yes."

With the help of Master Ruosheng, Cui Jinghe was quickly buried again.

On the day of the burial, Huo Zhanting, the old princess, and the three little ones also came.

The little ones all had serious and stern expressions, and stood beside Shen Qinglan seriously.

Shen Qinglan looked at the little guys, then set his eyes on Huo Zhanting and the old princess, and sighed:

"Mother, this is actually my personal matter. You don't have to come."

When the old princess heard this, she immediately defended herself with a stern face:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother-in-law is your biological mother, and Ting'er's biological mother, so this matter is not a private matter at all! It is the business of our entire Zhan Palace."

"Here is our mother's mother, that is our grandmother! We were unable to show filial respect to our grandmother when she was alive, but now we have to bury her." Huo Junyan nodded seriously and agreed with the old princess.

"Well, if it weren't for grandma, we wouldn't have such a good mother like you. Yu'er wants to thank grandma!" Huo Junyu quickly knelt down in front of the tombstone and kowtowed.

Seeing this, Huo Jingyi knelt down without saying anything and kowtowed three times. She secretly decided to surpass her second brother! She is the most filial!

Shen Qinglan listened to the old princess' words and looked at the pious looks of the children, and a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes.

She turned around, looked at the new grave, and knelt down.

Mother, did you see it?

Now Lan'er is married. Fortunately, her family is upright and grateful.

Please rest assured, mother, Lan'er will go further in the future.

Not long after returning home, Shuwen received news.

"Miss! Jinlan's carriage was tampered with that day. It was not damaged naturally! I have checked. The guards who escorted Jinlan only left one person to guard the carriage in order to find someone to repair it."

"During this time, Jinlan only went to the side to relieve herself once. Perhaps it was during this time that someone informed her of the incident."

Shen Qinglan was sitting at the desk, writing something. When he heard this, his expression did not change. He just asked, "Where is Marquis Jing'an?"

"I checked. He sent a servant out of the city a few days ago, but I don't know where the servant went."

Shen Qinglan nodded, having made up his mind.

At this moment, Shu Yu also rushed in and said to Shen Qinglan:

"Miss, that Wuchen Master sneaked into the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion!"

There was a "pop".

Shen Qinglan's hand holding the pen paused, and suddenly, the ink splashed, and the words on the paper were instantly soaked and blurred.

She looked up, put down her pen, and said directly:

"Return to Jing'an Marquis Mansion."

"Yes!"

When Shen Qinglan stepped into the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion again, he stood under the plaque with a slightly cold look in his eyes.

If she had still felt a little bit of kinship towards the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion before, and was willing to help the Marquis of Jing'an move up a level, then now...

Shen Qinglan only hoped that things were not as she thought, otherwise, she could not guarantee what she would do!

When Shen Qinglan returned to the mansion, he did not go directly to find Marquis Jing'an, but instead had people stay at various exits of Marquis Jing'an's mansion, waiting for Wuchen to come out and capture him directly!

She herself went straight back to Cui Jinghe's former yard.

She stood in Cui Jinghe's yard, looking at everything that was familiar in front of her, except for the place where the crabapple flowers were once planted. It no longer looked as famous as it did when the flowers bloomed in the past.

Suddenly, Shen Qinglan seemed to have thought of something. He looked around and set his gaze directly on the place where the crabapple flowers had been planted.

I saw weeds growing again all around, but the piece of land where the crabapple flowers were planted was completely bare!

"Go, dig some of the soil over there and bring it back to me!"

Shen Qinglan gave Shuyu a direct order, and Shuyu quickly did as he was told.

Just as Shu Yu finished digging and was about to come back, he heard the voice of Marquis Jing'an:

"Qinglan! You're back!"

Shen Qinglan glanced sideways and saw Marquis Jing'an walking towards her quickly with an excited look on his face.

He looked like a loving father who missed his daughter deeply!

Marquis Jing'an was about to grab Shen Qinglan's arm, but Shen Qinglan had already moved away.

Jing'an Hou paused for a moment, then reluctantly withdrew his hand and sighed:

"Qinglan has grown up. I don't know when the little girl who always liked to pester her father to ride a big horse has grown up..."
