The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy

Chapter 368: Seizing the Minister’s Wife 20

A complex emotion flashed across Huo Changwen's eyes, including surprise, confusion, and a hint of barely perceptible joy.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"Princess..." Huo Changwen's voice trembled a little, "This... This is too sudden. I... I need time to think about it."

Huo Changwen was undoubtedly excited. Now that he thought about it, although Sheng Rao was good, her goodness was not worth mentioning in front of Princess Mingtang. So what if she had a large dowry?

When the time comes, when Princess Mingtang marries him, her dowry will certainly be no less than Sheng Rao's. What's more, Princess Mingtang is a royal relative, which will be beneficial to his career. Huo Changwen already knows who to choose.

Lin Mingyue looked at Huo Changwen's reaction and already had the answer in her heart. She knew that Huo Changwen was a smart man and he would make the wisest choice.

Lin Mingyue nodded gently and said, "Okay, I'll give you some time to think about it. However, Lord Huo, you must remember that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. I hope you can cherish this opportunity and don't let yourself regret it."

Huo Changwen was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, saying: "Don't worry, Princess, I will think about it carefully."

Lin Mingyue smiled with satisfaction. She knew that Huo Changwen had made a decision. She stood up and prepared to leave the study. Before leaving, she looked back at Huo Changwen, believing that he would not let her down.

"Lord Huo, I'm waiting for your good news." After saying that, Lin Mingyue left the study with the maid.

In the imperial study, Xie Lan received news from the secret guard.

The conversation between Lin Mingyue and Huo Changwen was repeated word for word to Xie Lan by the secret guard.

Xie Lan secretly cursed Lin Mingyue for being extremely stupid.

But she did do one thing right, which was to get Huo Changwen to sign the divorce agreement.

However, it seems unlikely that Huo Changwen will be exempted from punishment.

After the secret guard left, a eunuch came to report that the Queen Mother asked Xie Lan to go to the Cining Palace.

Without a doubt, Xie Lan was sure that it was because of Lin Mingyue's plea for Huo Changwen.

Xie Lan had a heavy expression on her face. She straightened her clothes and went to the Cining Palace.

Xie Lan walked into the Cining Palace and saw the empress dowager sitting on a soft couch, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand with a calm expression.

Seeing Xie Lan coming in, the Queen Mother put down her Buddhist beads and smiled slightly, "The Emperor is here, please take a seat."

After Xie Lan paid his respects, he sat on the chair below the Queen Mother. He asked directly, "Mother, did you call me here because of Ming Yue's matter?"

The Queen Mother sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, I know Yue'er has begged you, I hope you will not punish Huo Changwen."

Xie Lan said in a deep voice: "Mother, Huo Changwen's crime is not trivial. Today, all the officials in the court impeached him. I cannot forgive him easily."

The Queen Mother looked at Xie Lan, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes: "Emperor, I know your difficulties, but Yue'er...she really likes Huo Changwen. She begged me, and I have no choice. As your uncle, please let Huo Changwen go for Yue'er's sake."

Xie Lan frowned and said, "Mother, Yue'er is still young, and it is inevitable that she will be emotional, but I cannot bend the law for personal gain."

The Queen Mother looked at Xie Lan's determined expression and knew that this matter was difficult to change, so she changed the subject: "Then how does the Emperor think Huo Changwen should be dealt with?"

Xie Lan pondered for a moment and said, "Although Huo Changwen made mistakes, he also made contributions to the court. I intend to exempt him from the punishment of being demoted to a commoner, but will demote him to a county magistrate as a punishment. What do you think, mother?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "This is good. It can punish Huo Changwen and give Yue'er an explanation."

Seeing that the Queen Mother had no objection, Xie Lan said, "Then I will make this decision."

The Queen Mother also warned: "Emperor, Yue'er is young and naive. You should be more tolerant and don't let her suffer any injustice."

Xie Lan nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of Yue'er."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, chatted with Xie Lan about family matters for a while, and then let him leave.

After Xie Lan left the Cining Palace, she felt a little heavy in her heart.

He knew that his mother was partial to someone, but he never expected her to be so partial. The eldest princess had been dead for many years, but she was still partial to the eldest princess's daughter.

Unfortunately, Lin Mingyue was as stupid as the eldest princess. If he had not taken Lin Mingyue's young age into consideration, he would have dealt with Lin Mingyue together with her.

The eldest princess was too ambitious back then, and her hands had already reached into the court. If the eldest princess had not died of illness, Xie Lan would have exposed her true face long ago.

However, Xie Lan did not expect that the eldest princess's daughter had the same wolfish ambitions as the eldest princess. Xie Lan knew what she was thinking, but she didn't know if she had the life to fight him.

If the Queen Mother had not been told what the Princess had done, then the Queen Mother would have known clearly whether the heart of her beloved granddaughter was red or black!

After returning to the imperial study, Xie Lan immediately drafted an imperial edict to punish Huo Changwen and ordered it to be sent to the Huo Mansion.

After Huo Changwen received the imperial edict, he felt mixed emotions.

He knew that this was the result that Lin Mingyue had asked for him. Although he was demoted to a county magistrate, it was still much better than being demoted to a commoner.

However, he probably would not be qualified to be a county magistrate. If the emperor really arranged for him to marry Princess Mingtang, then he would definitely not be able to take on the position of county magistrate, as the princess would definitely ask the emperor to arrange a new position for him.

Huo Changwen was not in a hurry at all. He was waiting to divorce Sheng Rao, and even more so waiting for the day when the imperial decree granting marriage would arrive.

The three days are up.

Sheng Rao took a carriage and brought Sheng's father and mother to the Huo Mansion.

The atmosphere in the Huo Mansion did not seem as solemn as before. Sheng Rao and Sheng's father and mother walked into the main hall under the guidance of the servants.

Huo Changwen had already been waiting in the main hall, with a complicated expression on his face.

Sheng Rao saw him at a glance, but the expression on his face was disgusting. Sheng Rao had known about Lin Mingyue and Huo Changwen for a long time. He must have signed the divorce agreement a long time ago, right?

Sheng Rao sneered in her heart, this male protagonist is so realistic, he will favor whoever is beneficial to him. Now that Lin Mingyue, a big backer, has come, he kicks her away and asks her to make room for Lin Mingyue!

Huo Changwen already had the signed divorce agreement in his hand.

Huo Changwen took two steps forward and bowed slightly to Sheng Rao and his parents. His voice was filled with apology and reluctance: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, Rao'er, we have to end this today."

Father Sheng and Mother Sheng looked at each other, and Father Sheng said in a deep voice: "You should have done this a long time ago!"

Huo Changwen nodded and handed the divorce agreement to Sheng Rao: "Rao'er, this is the divorce agreement. I have already signed it."

Sheng Rao took the divorce letter indifferently.

"Master Huo, you and I have already divorced, so please stop calling each other so as to avoid misunderstandings. From now on, we will go our separate ways."
