They say you should never hit someone with a smiling face, so no matter how much the other person disliked her, Shen Wan shamelessly grabbed the other person's arm and refused to let go, always with a kind smile on her face.

After entering the palace at the age of 12, Luo Lan was used to being well-behaved, but she had long forgotten her original appearance.

Seeing Shen Wan's escape, for a moment, she seemed to see the self that had been abandoned long ago.

But those are all in the past. At her age, what she cares about most now is her children and grandchildren.

Thinking about how this girl had ruined the royal family's face by making a big fuss about the wedding, Luo Lan felt even more angry.

But facing the girl's rogueness, she didn't know how to respond for a moment, and the other party seemed to be glued to her body, unable to push away even if she wanted to.

Luo Lan had no choice but to sit down on the phoenix chair and assume his usual majestic posture.

"Mother!" Sensing that the other party seemed to be loose, Shen Wan hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and called out again.

Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager is similar in age to her mother, and her mother-in-law is also a mother. Regardless of her royal status, there is no real difference in nature. She has always had a way of coaxing her elders since she was a child.

It's just that people who stay in the palace for a long time always prefer to put on airs.

It doesn't matter, she laid the steps for her.

Taking half a step back, Shen Wan took out a ruler from his body, knelt down in a dignified manner, and presented the thing with both hands.

"Mother, I was incited to make a big fuss at the wedding. It was my fault. I know I was wrong. Please punish me, Queen."

This girl really deserved to be punished, Luo Lan was not polite, took the ruler and raised it high.

Why is it serious? In the past, when she made mistakes at home, she always used this method to coax her father into getting better. His father was not willing to really beat her. After all, her daughter-in-law was not her biological child!

Shen Wan wailed in her heart, but if she could get over this matter with a few blows, it would be worth it.

Although she was mentally prepared, she still closed her eyes tightly because of fear.

"Mother!"

Unexpectedly, the little girl actually came and asked for forgiveness. Qi Yan, who followed him in, saw Luo Lan raising the ruler and was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to stop her.

Her skin is so white and tender that if she hits her with a ruler, her palms will probably become swollen.

With a "pop" sound, Shen Wan shrank subconsciously, but she didn't feel any pain in her hand.

"Ziyuan!"

Unexpectedly, the man would suddenly rush forward, and the ruler that had missed the mark landed firmly on the man's palm, which happened to be his injured right hand.

Luo Lan's eyes tightened, and she quickly threw away the things in her hands. She wanted to step forward to check, but Qi Yan avoided it out of habit.

"Why are you so stupid? Does it hurt?"

Realizing what had happened, Shen Wan opened her eyes and pulled the man's arm with a nervous look on her face, but he helped her up from the ground.

"It's okay, this little injury won't be a big deal."

There was no obvious emotion on his cold and handsome face, but veins popped up on his arms, as if he was suppressing something.

Turning to the Empress Dowager, Qi Yan's breasts were congested and red, "If the Queen Mother is still angry in her heart, she will come at me if she wants to be beaten or punished. Don't touch my woman."

"Ziyuan, Aijia..." Luo Lan frowned, but she hesitated when her son's face looked wary and distant.

In Xiling Kingdom, except for those who cannot find a wife, generally speaking, most men have a family by the age of sixteen or seventeen, especially among the royal family. It is not uncommon to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen.

But until this year, when the man was twenty-three years old, he still didn't even have a woman in his house.

He had disliked all the official ladies she had offered him before, but he had fallen in love with the legitimate daughter of the Shen family whom she disliked the most.

The conflicting opinions on the matter of marriage made their already grudge-ridden mother-son relationship even worse.

What happened in the past cannot be undone, and in the current situation, she just hopes that he can find a good wife and take good care of him.

If Shen Wan can truly repent, she will not be unable to forgive him. She just wanted to test it out and had no intention of taking action.

Even if she doesn't like that girl very much yet, she is the woman he holds close to his heart after all, and she doesn't want to increase his resentment towards her.

But looking at the man's look, Luo Lan knew that the scene just now must have reminded him of that incident, and he swallowed back the words he was about to explain.

In his mind, she must be a cruel and ruthless woman. So what could he do if she explained it? Not only would he not believe her, but it would only make her unhappy.

Shen Wan, who was held tightly in the man's arms like he was protecting a cub, clearly felt that something was wrong with his mood.

Even though he was trying to restrain himself, the arm holding her still slowly and unconsciously tightened, as if he was afraid that she would lose him if he let go.

Not to mention that the ruler didn't hit her at all. Even if she did get hit, it would only hurt for a while. His reaction was a bit too intense.
