The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy

Chapter 364: Seizing the Minister’s Wife 16

"Wait a minute!"

A soft and clear female voice came from outside the crowd, and everyone turned to look.

I saw a young girl in gorgeous clothes walking over with several maids and followers.

The girl had a beautiful face and noble temperament, and it was obvious at first glance that she was not an ordinary person.

This person is none other than Princess Mingtang, Lin Mingyue.

Lin Mingyue's sudden appearance surprised everyone. Sheng Rao also frowned slightly. She had a premonition that the divorce would not be possible today.

"Who are you?" The person asking the question was an official from the yamen.

"How dare you! Princess Mingtang is here! Why don't you pay your respects to her?"

The maid behind Lin Mingyue took out the token representing Princess Mingtang.

When everyone saw this, they all knelt down and bowed.

Sheng Rao had no choice but to kneel and salute.

"Greetings to Princess Mingtang."

"No gifts."

Lin Mingyue said as she walked in front of the crowd. She first glanced at Sheng Rao, then looked at Huo Changwen, with a hint of scrutiny and coldness in her eyes.

"Huo Changwen, as an official appointed by the imperial court, how could you treat your wife like this?" Lin Mingyue said coldly, "Mrs. Huo is gentle, virtuous, dignified and generous, but you believed the slander of your concubine and were deceived. You did something like favoring your concubine over your wife. This is simply a disgrace to the officials of the imperial court!"

Huo Changwen's face turned red after being scolded by Lin Mingyue. Although he knew that Lin Mingyue's status was noble, he also prided himself on his talent and knowledge, and had a certain status in the court. However, Lin Mingyue directly taught him a lesson, and he was speechless and could only bow his head and admit his mistake.

"The princess is right. I made such a big mistake because I was confused for a moment." Huo Changwen whispered.

When Sheng Rao first heard that Lin Mingyue was helping her to teach Huo Changwen a lesson, she thought that he was actually speaking for Huo Changwen!

Although Lin Mingyue's words seemed to be a reprimand for Huo Changwen, they were actually excuses for him. She cleverly avoided the real issue of Huo Changwen favoring his concubine over his wife and condoning his concubine in framing Sheng Rao, and instead shifted the focus to the fact that Huo Changwen was deceived by his concubine, thereby alleviating his fault.

Sheng Rao sneered in her heart. She understood Lin Mingyue's intention, but she didn't intend to give up.

She looked at Lin Mingyue and said firmly, "My Lady, Huo Changwen's fault is not just a momentary mistake. He favors his concubine over his wife, disrespects his wife, and even allows his concubine to frame me. These facts cannot be covered up. I hope my Lady can see clearly and not be fooled by his superficial words."

Lin Mingyue was slightly stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Sheng Rao to refute her so directly.

Lin Mingyue was a little unhappy in her heart, but she remained calm on her face. She just said lightly: "Madam Huo, I will naturally investigate what you said, but the relationship between father and wife is always a quarrel at the head of the bed and a reconciliation at the foot of the bed. My grandmother also said that husband and wife should be considerate of each other. I don't think Lord Huo intended to do this to you. Let's forget about the divorce."

As soon as Lin Mingyue finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion around. Sheng Rao frowned, she didn't expect Lin Mingyue to be so partial to Huo Changwen, even to the point of moving out the queen mother.

Everyone in this dynasty knew that the Empress Dowager was extremely fond of Princess Mingtang, who was left behind by the eldest princess. The eldest princess was the Empress Dowager's favorite daughter, so after the eldest princess died of illness, the Empress Dowager loved the eldest princess and especially doted on the eldest princess's only daughter, Lin Mingyue.

Now that Lin Mingyue has moved out, it is because she doesn't want Huo Changwen to divorce her.

Sheng Rao didn’t know what Lin Mingyue was thinking. Wasn’t she in love with Huo Changwen?

Isn't it exactly what she wants that Huo Changwen and I should divorce?

Why did Lin Mingyue seem to not want her to divorce Huo Changwen now?

Although Sheng Rao was confused, she didn't show it on her face. She nodded slightly, with a tone of neither servility nor arrogance: "Princess, I understand what you mean, but the problem between Huo Changwen and I cannot be solved overnight. Favoring a concubine and abandoning a wife is a major issue concerning a woman's dignity and status. I cannot tolerate it, nor can I give in. I believe that if the Queen Mother knew the truth of this matter, she would support my decision."

Lin Mingyue's face changed slightly when she heard this. She didn't expect Sheng Rao to be so persistent and even dare to mention the Queen Mother openly.

She couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, but she still kept smiling on her face: "Mrs. Huo, I know you are a woman with your own opinions, but this matter is related to the reputation of the two families after all. If it becomes too big, it may not be good for both of you. I think you should reconsider it."

Sheng Rao took a deep breath. She knew that Lin Mingyue was threatening her, but she was not afraid at all.

She raised her head and looked directly into Lin Mingyue's eyes: "Princess, I have thought it through very clearly. Divorce is my only choice, and I will not change this decision. I hope you can understand my difficulties, and please don't interfere in the affairs between me and Huo Changwen."

Lin Mingyue was choked by Sheng Rao's words and was speechless. She didn't expect Sheng Rao to be so decisive.

Lin Mingyue was extremely angry. No one had ever dared to reject her directly like this, let alone in this situation where she claimed to be in control of everything.

However, she was the Princess of Mingtang after all, with a noble status, and she had her own way of dealing with it. She smiled lightly, as if the previous anger was just a passing cloud, and turned to Sheng Rao and said gently: "Madam Huo, you are so determined, I naturally can't force you, but the matter of divorce is not trivial, and we need to think about it carefully, and we can't act rashly. How about this, I will give you three days, you go back and think about it carefully, if you still insist on divorce after three days, I will never stop you."

Sheng Rao knew that Lin Mingyue was stalling for time, and she did not intend to give Lin Mingyue this opportunity, but at this moment she could not directly refuse, so she could only temporarily agree: "Thank you for your understanding, my lord. I will consider it carefully."

Seeing Sheng Rao's agreement, Lin Mingyue felt relieved, and turned to Huo Changwen and said, "Master Huo, you should reflect on your mistakes. You must respect your wife in the future and don't make the same mistake again."

Huo Changwen had regained his composure by now. He knew that Lin Mingyue was speaking for him, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the situation had been temporarily settled, Lin Mingyue left with her maid and followers. When everyone saw the princess leave, they also dispersed.

Sheng Rao knew that she couldn't get a divorce today, after all, Lin Mingyue had already made it clear.

"Rao'er, please give me another chance. I was wrong. It's all my fault for not judging people well. I will change in the future!"

Huo Changwen took this opportunity to apologize to Sheng Rao.

"Master Huo, there is no need to say anything else. I will come again in three days. By then, I hope Master Huo will sign this divorce agreement."

Sheng Rao said this coldly, then left the Huo Mansion with her parents.
