Chapter 237 Mama's Boy
"Although the war didn't take place on Hailan Star, your deeds have already spread throughout the interstellar space."

"If it weren't for you and your beastman husband, this place might have been invaded by the Zerg long ago." As Cassan spoke, her eyes grew brighter and brighter, and she looked truly adoring.

"Perhaps the Queen is just temporarily blinded by greed. Give her some time, and she'll be fine once she's figured things out." However, Cassan is still kind-hearted and holds onto a hopeful expectation for these things.

But Shi Li knew very well that the Queen had a special reason for disliking her so much.

As for why, Shi Li had no idea.

"I need to handle this myself. Thank you for reminding me."

"For your safety, don't go in later." Shi Li squeezed Cassan's hand tightly; she already knew her intentions.

Shi Li pushed open the hall door without the slightest hesitation.

"Where are Joan and Ido?" Shi Li's gaze was unfriendly. There were no other guards in the hall, only a few maids around the queen.

It was clear that the Queen did not intend to go too far.

Otherwise, this place should be packed with people right now.

Once Shili went in, she never had a chance to come out again.

The Queen hadn't anticipated that Shi Li possessed special abilities. Even with a tight security cordon, Shi Li could still easily escape.

Hailan Star doesn't even know about the Core's existence. No one here has superpowers. As long as Shi Li's physical and mental strength can keep up, no one here can take Shi Li's life.

"That's not the question you should ask."

"Of course I have to teach these two disobedient children a lesson." The Queen looked somewhat surprised; she had never expected that Shi Li could run into the palace.

She assumed that Shi Li would be taken care of by the two assassins sent there while she was in the mall.

It seems that the legend of the Time Fox might actually have some credibility.

She was definitely not an ordinary female.

"Then what should I ask you? Should I ask you why you wanted to kill me?"

"I was going to ask, but seeing you like this, I've lost interest." Shi Li stood still, looking coldly at the Queen on her seat.

Previously, she had some respect for her mother-in-law and tried to build a good relationship with her because the Queen truly adored Joan.

Joan isn't a cold-blooded person; being loved like this, she'll definitely like the Queen very much.

Shi Li didn't want to put Joan in a difficult position, and even more so, she didn't want Joan to make such a difficult choice.

But now Shi Li doesn't think that way anymore; this queen just really doesn't like her.

Even Shi Li suspected that even if she had no relation to Joan at all, the queen might still dislike her in other ways after encountering her elsewhere.

An inexplicable dislike is simply unsolvable.

Shi Li no longer intends to solve this problem; she plans to eliminate the person who caused it.

"Aren't you curious why I hate you so much?" In the end, Shi Li stopped asking, but the Queen said it herself.

This was an unexpected surprise.

It turns out that some people really do get desperate and will just self-destruct.

"Do you know what he looked like when he ran back to Hailan Star because you didn't comfort him back then?"

"My child, whom I've raised with such care and love, almost died at your hands." The queen's eyes turned somewhat sorrowful.

"You think that just because you say you've changed, all that damage can be erased?"

"That's all what you think." The Queen's voice even trembled slightly.

The shadows on the second floor of the hall were already in ambush, waiting for her command to shoot Shi Li. They actually had firearms, but the Queen didn't want to make such a commotion, and given their current positions, Shi Li couldn't escape no matter which direction she ran from.

They were completely surrounded.

Shi Li, on the other hand, was somewhat helpless.

This issue is always going back and forth, and she knows, of course, that the hurt can never be erased, and she also knows the heartache a mother feels for her child.

However, Joan has already accepted her compensation and knows that the person who hurt him and the person he loves now are not the same person.

However, Shili did not intend to discuss such matters with the queen in front of her.

If you told anyone, they would think it was outrageous.

Shili is Shili, no matter when it is.

Shi Li took a deep breath.

In the Queen's eyes, this matter was like the Obimos loop, a vicious cycle that would never end.

To solve this problem, we need to break this cycle.

"Before making this decision, did you not consider that your son is an independent individual?"

“I understand that you spoil him, which makes you feel that he is still the child who cannot survive independently without you.”

"But he's grown up now and has started a family."

"If he's willing to forgive me, accept living with me, and even fall in love with me, isn't that enough?"

"What gives you the right to make the decision to kill me on his behalf?"

"Aren't you afraid that if I die, he'll go with me?" Regardless of what the Queen thought, this was the answer Joan was giving now. Even though Joan didn't know that she wasn't the original Shi Li, Joan had already accepted the compensation and forgiven her.

Then this matter is over.

Only the queen herself remained trapped inside, entangled in her own thoughts.

"He is my child! How could I not know him!" These words seemed to break the queen's defenses, and she couldn't help but shout them out.

"Actually, you should be glad that you are his mother."

"Otherwise you would have died in my hands long ago." Shi Li thought this woman was crazy.

What's this talk about love or not?

A mother who cannot even maintain basic maternal love for another child can still claim that the child is hers.

Joan is her child, but isn't Ido also her child?

How can someone who is so biased be a reasonable person?

"Your so-called love is nothing more than your inability to accept your son being out of your control and out of everything you have arranged."

"You must have been very happy when you saw him being wronged on Yanhes Star and running back to Hailan Star to cry to you."

"You'll feel that even if he's married, he's still the child who can't live without you."

"But I can tell you definitively now that he has grown up and is no longer that child."

"Either you set him free, or I'll get rid of this cage!" This kind of scene might not be common in this world, but it was extremely common in Shi Li's original world.

All I can say is that Joan has been well protected all along, but she doesn't crave this kind of domesticated protection, nor is she afraid to face the new world.

Otherwise, Shi Li would have absolutely no interest in a mama's boy.

"You! You dare! Fire an arrow!"
