The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy
Chapter 359: Seizing the Minister’s Wife 11
The Queen Mother's words made Xie Lan fall into deep thought. He knew that he couldn't just say Sheng Rao's name, because Sheng Rao's identity and experience were too complicated. Once exposed, it might bring her endless trouble.
"Mother, this person is not the daughter of a powerful official in the court, but I have deep feelings for her, and she is the only love of my life."
Xie Lan spoke sincerely. He was well aware of the Queen Mother's influence. If the Queen Mother could accept Sheng Rao, then his plan would be much more successful.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with complex emotions. She naturally knew Xie Lan's temper. Since he said it, it meant that he was really moved.
But Sheng Rao’s identity and experience are indeed a big problem.
"Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, the affairs of the harem are related to the stability of the country. The person you choose must be able to be a model for the country and a role model for all women in the world. You must think twice." The Queen Mother advised earnestly.
Xie Lan nodded. He certainly knew the deeper meaning behind the Queen Mother's words.
But he also knew that his feelings for Sheng Rao were genuine, and he was willing to give everything for her, including his throne.
"Mother, I understand what you mean, but I believe that she is capable of this position. She is kind, tough, and talented. More importantly, she has a heart that loves me. I am willing to give up everything for her, just to be able to spend the rest of my life with her." Xie Lan's words were full of determination and persistence.
Although he couldn't make her accept him now, he believed that Sheng Rao must have him in her heart, otherwise why would she be so close to him?
The Queen Mother looked at Xie Lan and couldn't help feeling moved.
She knew that her son had always been a man with his own opinions, but she had never seen him so determined.
She sighed. She knew she couldn't change Xie Lan's decision and could only hope that he could handle it all.
"Since the emperor insists so much, I will say no more. But you must remember that you are the king of a country. Every decision you make is related to the well-being of the people of the world. You must consider the overall situation and not let personal feelings affect state affairs." The empress dowager warned earnestly.
Xie Lan bowed respectfully. He knew that although the Queen Mother's words were harsh, they were more of a reflection of her concern and expectations for him.
He secretly made up his mind to make Sheng Rao his queen and the happiest woman in the world.
After leaving the Cining Palace, Xie Lan felt extremely heavy-hearted. He knew that he still had a long way to go. If he wanted Sheng Rao to become his queen, he would have to face countless difficulties and challenges, but he was ready.
At the same time, Sheng Yan received a letter from Sheng Rao.
Sheng Yan sat in the study, holding Sheng Rao's letter in his hand, with a complicated expression on his face.
They had seldom had the chance to meet since he had been demoted from the capital and became a minor county magistrate.
Although Sheng Yan was worried about his sister's safety, he was in the court and could not be with her all the time.
He opened the envelope and read every word in the letter carefully. In the letter, Sheng Rao mentioned that she was betrayed by Huo Changwen, talked about her life in Zhuangzi these days, and also mentioned Xie Lan's help and care, as well as her plans and expectations for the future.
Sheng Yan could feel his sister's gratitude and trust in Xie Lan, but at the same time he also saw her inner struggle and anxiety.
Sheng Yan knew that Sheng Rao had been a woman with her own opinions and ideas since she was young. She did not want to be bound by fate, and even more so, she did not want to be influenced by worldly views.
However, facing Huo Changwen's betrayal and Liu Ruyan's frame-up, how can she protect herself? The appearance of Xie Lan undoubtedly gave her a glimmer of hope and courage, but it also made her fall into a more complicated emotional entanglement.
Sheng Yan sighed, he knew his sister’s situation was not easy.
However, he also understood that as a brother, he could not make decisions for his sister, let alone endure the pain and suffering on her behalf.
However, as Sheng Rao was the beloved daughter of the whole family, he could only silently support and encourage her, so that she would have the courage to face everything.
He refolded the letter and put it back into the envelope. Then he stood up, walked to the window, looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside, his heart filled with longing and worry for his sister.
Afterwards, Sheng Yan wrote a letter and had it delivered to the Sheng family in Qi County as quickly as possible.
Sheng Yan didn't expect that Huo Changwen looked like a decent person, but the Sheng family would actually produce an ungrateful person.
At the Sheng family in Qi County, after receiving Sheng Yan's letter, the entire family was plunged into deep shock and anger.
Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng read every word in the letter, their hearts filled with self-blame and worry. They could not imagine that their precious daughter Sheng Rao had suffered so much hardship and pain in the capital.
Back then, Sheng Rao married Huo Changwen, a man with an elderly and seriously ill mother, with a generous dowry. They agreed to marry their daughter to Huo Changwen because of his character. However, after only a few years, that heartless guy showed his true colors and dared to favor his concubine over his wife!
Is he bullying the Sheng family because there is no one there?
Master Sheng was so angry that he was shaking all over. He crushed the letter to pieces, his eyes flashing with anger. He could not tolerate his daughter being wronged and hurt like this, he had to seek justice for her!
Mrs. Sheng was in tears. She felt sorry for her daughter and hated the man who betrayed her even more. When she thought of her daughter being alone and helpless in the capital, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
She held Master Sheng's hand tightly, and said in a choked voice, "Master, we have to find a way. We can't let Rao'er suffer there alone."
Master Sheng took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger in his heart.
He knew that now was not the time to be impulsive, they had to calm down and find a way to solve the problem.
Master Sheng pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's make arrangements immediately and set off for the capital!"
They must go to the capital in person to see their daughter's situation and seek justice for her.
Mr. Sheng knew that this trip to the capital would be a difficult battle, but they were ready and willing to give everything for their daughter.
Other members of the Sheng family also expressed their support. They were willing to follow Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng to the capital to support Sheng Rao.
In Qi County, the Sheng family quickly arranged their itinerary and prepared to set off.
They brought enough silver, money and gifts, ready to arrange everything in the capital to create a better living environment for Sheng Rao.
At the same time, they also prepared enough manpower in case of unexpected situations.
After several days of preparation, the Sheng family finally set out on the journey to the capital.
They rode in a carriage, heading north, their hearts filled with longing and worry for Sheng Rao.
This time it was Master Sheng and Madam Sheng who went, and Sheng Rao's eldest brother and second sister also wanted to go to help Sheng Rao, but were rejected by Master Sheng and Madam Sheng.
The Sheng family is large and powerful and needs someone to manage it. The eldest brother has been managing the family business, and the second sister is already married. Her husband's family is also a merchant family and they also need her help. Both of them are inseparable from Qi County, so they were rejected by Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng.
