Chapter 163: The Three Outlooks Follow the Little Beauty

Zhong Minglan is also very angry!

She's still scolding in front of Shen Qingli!

"What a bunch of idiots I've brought!"

"Where is Jin Wu?"

"Where did this bastard run off to! He didn't even know to stop them!"

"The idiot doesn't even know that the little beauty is Shen Qingli, does he?"

Zhong Minglan kept scolding, then suddenly thought of a question, and then she calmly returned to the empress's dignified demeanor.

Scolded too early……

Jin Wu is taking the blame for her, and was jointly sealed in the boundary wall by Qin Su Nv, Shaoguan Wu, Meng Zhang, and Jian Wuji.

No wonder she kept feeling like she'd forgotten something; it turns out she forgot this.

"Mother, don't be angry; Su Cha and Qin Bilian are good at playing with people's hearts, it's not their fault." Shen Qingli also advised from the side.

"Cough, it's my fault." Zhong Minglan looked at Di Jin, "Help me out, let's go together to fetch Jin Wu from the boundary wall."

Shen Qingli: "?"

So, the mother didn't break out of Qin Su Nv's seal herself and come to save her in time.

Rather, Jin Wu took the mother's place and was sealed in the boundary wall, and the mother even forgot about him?

"What a poor Jin Wu." The Nine Li have already been speaking up for Jin Wu.

Zhong Minglan felt embarrassed……

Di Jin immediately helped her out of the situation, "Mother's affairs, how can that be called helping? Just give orders."

"Don't call me mother." Zhong Minglan rubbed her forehead, this son-in-law really knows how to take advantage, so sly.

Shen Kuo is already used to it; anyway, he's always been called "dad", so it's not really different.

"Let's go, head back first." Zhong Minglan feared another mishap, "I just forgot to order those little ones; we need to capture Qin Su Nv's daughter."

They actually wanted to use her elite troops to kill her daughter?

Before, she hadn't even considered this little waste worth noticing; she thought killing Qin Su Nv's arch-fiend would be enough!

Now it seems, this waste has a very wicked heart! He also can't be spared.

"Her father is right there, even if you give orders, it would be difficult for your subordinates."

Shen Qingli, however, takes it in stride; with Shaoguan Wu by Qin Bilian's side, unless she and the mother are present, who could take Qin Bilian away?

"Hah!" Zhong Minglan sneered, "If we don't give them something to do, their brains will get moldy; asking anyone would be better than asking that old green turtle of Shaoguan! How unlucky."

After finishing that tirade, she suddenly fell silent again, and even glanced at Shen Qingli.

"Cough, well, I'm not usually this irritable." Zhong Minglan explained.

She is usually quite calm and speaks little, but lately she's been repeatedly provoked to the point she can't bear, so she lost her temper.

She can't let the little beauty think she has a bad temper; she is actually a very gentle, very gentle mother.

"Understood." Di Jin continued, "Whoever gets angry wouldn't be irritable? Moreover, sister is the beautiful maiden mother painstakingly found back; they keep thinking of bullying her, how could they not be angry?"

"Exactly!" Zhong Minglan agreed wholeheartedly.

Shen Kuo reminded from the side, "This kid is good at saying pleasant things; don't take it too seriously."

"Dad?" Di Jin raised an eyebrow, "You're not being fair."

"But what he said is correct." Zhong Minglan also looked at Shen Qingli, "That's exactly it."

"Known." Shen Qingli had already smiled silently with her eyes, whoever treats her well, how sincere, she can still tell.

She had remained silent, simply because her heart felt warm, warm.

What could be better than having the whole family right before one's eyes, noisy yet making one feel warm? Nothing.

She even felt a bit dazed.

She couldn't help but think——

Is this truly what she possesses?

Before, it was all too rushed; Dad and Ah Jin still needed to heal their wounds, and she also had things on her mind.

Only at this moment, seeing the three of them speaking back and forth before her, did she truly feel "reunion".

Indeed.

Before rebirth.

She never dared to hope for such a day.

Even after rebirth, when she felt she was at her luckiest——

The warmest thing she could think of was merely having Ah Jin, Dad, brother, uncle, senior sister, and the Nine Li.

In her imagination, there was never a mother.

Even though she later came to know that Zhong Minglan was her birth mother, who had sacrificed her life to give birth to her.

But she still couldn't imagine that in her life there would truly be a mother who loved and protected her.

It's not even regrettable.

After all, she had already possessed many people who loved her before.

One must not be too greedy.

But once she truly possessed it, it was still very fulfilling.

"Little beauty~"

Zhong Minglan had already embraced her.

Shen Qingli, who couldn't help but tear up, made her feel extremely heartbroken.

At this moment, neither Shen Kuo, Di Jin, nor the Nine Li spoke.

They all knew Zhao Yue was a scar in Shen Qingli's growth that was hard to heal completely, and Zhong Minglan's appearance would be the medicine to fully cure it.

"Mother." Shen Qingli called softly.

"Eh!" Zhong Minglan replied clearly!

Shen Qingli called a few more times, and Zhong Minglan felt even more heartbroken.

Qin Su Nv, what on earth did you do to her daughter!

Zhong Minglan held the child tightly, responding with each sound, and from now on she would never let the little beauty suffer any injustice.

After a long while...

Shen Qingli wiped her tears, "I'm fine."

Nine Li chirped, "My eyes are peeing, waa waa waa~"

Shen Qingli laughed softly, "Li Li~"

"Oh~" Nine Li jumped onto Zhong Minglan's shoulder, still wiping its eyes with its claws.

Shen Qingli pinched its round chubby face, looking at the empress, "Nine Li, isn't it very cute?"

Zhong Minglan scratched the little fellow's hair, feeling surprisingly smooth, and couldn't help but stroke it a few more times, "It's still quite nice to touch."

"The previous one was Xi Xi." Shen Qingli said again.

Zhong Minglan nodded, "I know, that little crow."

Shen Qingli: "...... It's a phoenix."

"Oh." Zhong Minglan organized her words, "It still looks quite distinctive."

"It was given to me by Ah Jin." Shen Qingli looked at Di Jin and Shen Kuo standing beside her.

"What an ugly thing." Zhong Minglan dropped her reservations, "Why not send something better instead of a black crow? How ominous."

"Xi Xi wasn't originally black."

"It's super fragrant!"

Shen Qingli and Nine Li spoke up for Xi Xi in unison.

"Alright, as long as you like it." Zhong Minglan patted Shen Qingli's head, "Let's go home,"

Pausing, she then looked at Shen Kuo, "Can your body handle it?"

"I'm fine." Shen Kuo also didn't want to cause further complications, "Let's hurry back."

After reaching agreement, Zhong Minglan immediately radiated divine light, enveloping everyone.

At this moment, although they hadn't received an order from Zhong Minglan, Xu Shen Yun and the Vermilion Bird Palace's elite troops nevertheless surrounded Shaoguan Wu and Qin Bi Lian!

Shaoguan Wu's face darkened, "What do you lot intend to do!"

"The God Emperor's comings and goings are his own affair." Xu Shen Yun stared at the old-woman-like Qin Bi Lian, saying word by word—

"The Bilian Goddess harbors malicious intent, openly scheming to assassinate us, the Vermilion Bird Palace's Young Emperor, a crime unforgivable!"
