The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy
Chapter 374: Seizing the Minister’s Wife 26
But Huo Changwen did not regret his choice. Although he felt a little guilty towards Sheng Rao, this guilt had long been overshadowed by future benefits.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Huo Changwen felt that Sheng Rao was determined to divorce, and she would definitely regret it in the future! Even if she knelt down and begged him, he would not be soft-hearted and turn back!
Huo Changwen walked confidently and led his men away from Sheng Rao's manor.
But before he could walk out of the gate of the manor, he met Xie Lan who was about to visit the manor.
Huo Changwen couldn't believe his eyes. He was shocked and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Xie Lan who came towards him.
"Master Huo, I hope you know what to say and what not to say!"
Huo Changwen knew that Xie Lan was threatening him, but since Xie Lan was the emperor, he could only do as he was told.
He stood there in a daze, watching Xie Lan being welcomed into Sheng Rao's manor.
Huo Changwen really couldn't figure out when the Sheng family became connected with the emperor, or did Xie Lan come here for Sheng Rao?
Huo Changwen really didn't dare to think about it. If this was true, then...
Huo Changwen was furious in his heart and could only curse Sheng Rao inwardly for being an unfaithful woman. No wonder she wanted a divorce so much, it turned out she had managed to marry someone rich!
Huo Changwen flicked his sleeves and left Sheng Rao's manor with a group of people.
Xie Lan happily entered Sheng Rao's farm.
Everyone at Sheng Rao's manor knew Xie Lan, so when Xie Lan came to visit, the servants at the manor respectfully welcomed her in.
Xie Lan entered the farm with his guards, who were carrying several boxes in their hands.
The servant hurried to the main hall to report.
"Master, Madam, Miss, Mr. Xie from next door is here."
When Sheng Rao heard this, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xie Lan to be so anxious. She said she would visit yesterday, but she came today.
Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng were completely confused. They didn't know who this Mr. Xie was, and they turned to look at Sheng Rao in confusion.
"Rao'er, who is this Mr. Xie?"
Sheng Rao coughed lightly and explained awkwardly, "Father, mother, this Mr. Xie is the owner of the manor next door to me. When I was kicked out of the Huo Mansion, it was thanks to him that he took good care of me. I guess he knew that father and mother were coming and came to visit specially."
After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Sheng looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. However, since Sheng Rao said so, they did not ask any more questions and just told the servants to entertain them well.
Soon, Xie Lan and his guards walked into the main hall.
He was dressed in a moon-white robe, with an extraordinary temperament, and his every move revealed a sense of nobility.
When Mr. and Mrs. Sheng saw him, they secretly admired in their hearts that Mr. Xie was indeed an extraordinary person.
"Greetings, Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, and Miss Sheng." Xie Lan bowed respectfully as she entered the door.
"Mr. Xie, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Father Sheng returned the greeting with a smile and signaled the servants to serve tea.
Sheng Rao also stood up, walked to Xie Lan, and whispered, "Why are you here so early?"
Xie Lan smiled slightly and said softly: "I have something on my mind, so I came earlier."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Rao's cheeks turned slightly red. She turned to look at her parents and was relieved to see that they were drinking tea and didn't notice anything unusual here.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you for helping Rao'er when she was in trouble." Father Sheng expressed his gratitude.
Mrs. Sheng also echoed, her tone full of gratitude.
Xie Lan nodded slightly, her eyes fell on Sheng Rao, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "Miss Sheng saved my life, this is what I should do."
As he spoke, he signaled the guards behind him to put down the box they had brought, and opened it, revealing a box filled with gold, silver, jewelry, silks, satins, tea, porcelain and more.
"This is a small gift from me. I hope you, Mr. Sheng and Madam Sheng, will accept it." Xie Lan said, and then turned to Sheng Rao, "Miss Sheng, this is specially prepared for you."
Sheng Rao took a look and saw that one of the boxes contained a set of exquisite dresses and jewelry, all of which were her favorite styles. Her heart moved and a complicated light flashed in her eyes, but she immediately concealed it.
"Mr. Xie, you are too polite. These gifts are too valuable. We dare not accept them." Father Sheng quickly declined.
"Mr. Sheng, you don't have to be polite. These are just a small token of my appreciation." Xie Lan said, looking at Sheng Rao firmly, "Also, these are just the beginning. If Miss Sheng needs anything in the future, just let me know."
Sheng Rao's heart moved, she knew that Xie Lan was trying to show his goodwill to her. Sheng Rao secretly glared at Xie Lan, implying that he had gone too far, but Xie Lan couldn't care less.
Now that Sheng Rao has divorced, he can officially pursue her.
Seeing this, Sheng's father and mother also realized something, but they didn't say much. They just watched the interaction between the two silently.
"Ahahaha, thank you, Master, you are so polite."
Mother Sheng laughed it off. She also noticed that Xie Lan treated Sheng Rao differently.
Sheng's father felt that although Sheng Rao had been married, she was still a virgin. Mr. Xie looked handsome and was a perfect match for her daughter.
I just don’t know what kind of character and family background this Mr. Xie has?
Mother Sheng didn't want Huo Changwen to affect Sheng Rao's entire life. If she remarried, she would definitely support her as a mother, but she didn't want her daughter to meet the wrong person again.
So this time, Sheng's mother must investigate the person thoroughly.
"Where is Mr. Xie from?" Sheng's mother took the opportunity to ask.
"I am from the capital." Xie Lan answered truthfully.
"Who else is in your family, and what do they do?"
Mother Sheng's questions were direct and profound. She hoped that from Xie Lan's answers she could get a glimpse of his family background and his way of dealing with people.
Xie Lan smiled slightly, not displeased by Sheng's mother's directness, but answered more respectfully: "My mother is the only one alive in my family, and my father has passed away for many years. However, I have been influenced by my father since I was young, and I am determined to contribute to the country, so I serve as an official in the court."
Hearing this, Sheng's father and mother both felt relieved. Their mother was still alive and was an official. This Mr. Xie had a pretty good family background, and he himself was ambitious, so he was a good match for Sheng Rao.
"Mr. Xie is so young and promising, it's really admirable." Father Sheng praised.
"Thank you for your praise, Master Sheng. I still have a lot to learn," Xie Lan replied modestly.
However, Sheng's mother saw that Xie Lan was not young anymore, so she wondered if he had already married and had children.
If this is true, then it won't do. Although my daughter has been married, I absolutely cannot let her become a concubine!
Mother Sheng shook her head, it seemed that her daughter was not destined to be with this Master Xie.
