Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Emperor Qixuan took the letter presented by Zhao Heng, and after reading it for a short while, he slammed it heavily on the tea table and roared angrily:

"Guards! Drag this treacherous villain who criticizes an official of the court out and execute him!"

The young eunuch was extremely shocked, and then, in great fear, he was dragged away, crying out that he was innocent and cursing Shen Changmin to die a horrible death.

On the contrary, Shim Changmin remained serious and unmoved, which appeared to others as a sign of integrity and uprightness.

Who would have thought that it was this universally acknowledged good official, Lord Shen, who had tampered with the letter? The letter was written by someone who had specially commissioned Shen Changmin to imitate his own handwriting, and there were even a few typos in it. The little eunuch naturally couldn't see them, but that didn't mean Emperor Qixuan couldn't.

Imagine, how could the Shen family, a prominent clan for generations, and Shen Changmin, a high-ranking official and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, possibly make a mistake in writing characters?

And so, this farce ended in such a nonchalant way.

Xiao Xiao watched everything clearly from below.

Xiao Xiao knew that it was difficult to move a large clan like the Shen family, so this was an expected outcome.

However, she also achieved her goal, which was to implicate Shen An and Xue Zhilan, that despicable couple.

It seems that things are getting more exciting than expected. Xiao Xiao just asked Shangguan Jingtai to add some arisaema to Shen An's wine to numb him and let others find out that the two of them are lying together.

I never expected that he would still have the energy to do such a thing with Xue Zhilan.

Xiao Xiao immediately stood up, walked to the center of the front hall under everyone's gaze, and slowly knelt down to address Emperor Qi Xuan:

"Your Majesty! I remember that Your Majesty promised me a wish, and now I wish Your Majesty to fulfill that promise."

On that day aboard the moon, Emperor Qixuan not only bestowed upon Xue Xiao ten thousand taels of gold and the title of county princess, but also promised to grant her one wish.

When everyone saw Xue Xiao's behavior, they discussed among themselves, saying that Xue Xiao was not afraid of death and still wanted to stand up for himself at this moment.

Emperor Qixuan remained silent for a moment before asking, "What is your wish?"

Xue Xiao kowtowed and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, I hope you can grant us this blessing and bestow a marriage upon the eldest son of the Shen family and my second sister! I am also willing to step aside to make this happen!"

Hearing Xue Xiao say this, everyone was invigorated.

I never expected Xue Xiao to be such a magnanimous person.

Shen An is her fiancé. Putting aside whether Xue Zhilan and Shen An were framed, what they did was already a disgrace to their family.

Xue Xiao even used his own wishes to request the emperor to grant the two a marriage decree, willingly withdrawing himself, demonstrating an unparalleled magnanimity.

Praise for Xue Xiao poured in.

Seeing how beloved Xue Xiao was, while she herself was now dressed in rags and despised like a rat in the street, Xue Zhilan hated Xue Xiao even more.

When Shen An saw Xue Xiao at this moment, her eyes were like water, yet filled with determination. It seemed that Xue Xiao had made up her mind to break off the engagement with him, and now he had no reason to object.

Xue Xiao looked so resolute, as if she had long been prepared to break off the engagement with him.

Shen An instantly felt that Xue Xiao seemed to have been plotting this for a long time, but he couldn't find any evidence, and he was filled with resentment.

However, when Emperor Qixuan heard Xue Xiao's wish, which was to have him bestow a marriage upon her, he had long felt that Shen An was not good enough for this child. Now that this was a good opportunity, he readily agreed.

Thus, the originally joyous palace banquet ended with the emperor personally bestowing a marriage upon the eldest son of the Shen family and the second daughter of the Xue family, and the wedding taking place on an auspicious day.

Because the previous palace banquet was too absurd, Emperor Qixuan ordered another palace banquet to be held this year during the Lesser Cold solar term to formally entertain the envoys from the southern border and to express his apology.

From then on, Xue Xiao's reputation soared in the capital of Northern Qi.

Xue Xiao, who was once ignored, has now become a highly sought-after socialite in the capital, with suitors lining up to break down the gates of the Xue family mansion.

Xue Yao couldn't stop smiling because of this.

Xue Zhilan was waiting to be married in her Guilan Garden.

Xue Zhilan and Shen An's wedding was set for the end of this month. The betrothal and the exchange of betrothal gifts were completed in just three days, as if the Shen family was in a hurry to finish the matter.

On the day of Xue Zhilan and Shen An's wedding, since it was a marriage bestowed by the emperor himself, the Shen family made quite a grand arrangement.

Not long after, the wedding day arrived.

Inside the house, the matchmaker spoke auspicious words while combing Xue Zhilan's hair.

The matchmaker had just finished combing Xue Zhilan's hair when, before Shen An even arrived to fetch the bride, she was thrown out with silver coins by the smiling Shen Menglan.

Xue Zhilan looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, looking charming and elegant.

With such beauty and charm, I deserve better. How could a mere third-ranking scholar be worthy of me?

Only kings, nobles, generals, and ministers are worthy of me.

Thinking of the now-popular Xue Xiao, Xue Zhilan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and tore off her phoenix crown, throwing it heavily to the ground.

At this moment, a wicked glint flashed in Xue Zhilan's eyes. She wanted to ruin Xue Xiao's reputation and condemn him to eternal damnation.

Shen Menglan, standing to the side, felt a pang of sadness as she looked at Xue Zhilan. But then she thought of her brother's son, Shen An, who was a promising young man. Zhilan had found a good match, even if he wasn't as good as the Crown Prince. At least Xue Zhilan wouldn't suffer in her husband's family.

Seeing Xue Zhilan like this, Shen Menglan quickly stepped forward to dissuade her, saying, "Zhilan, I know you have resentment in your heart. But this is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, you must not act willfully. Quickly put on this phoenix crown!"

Xue Zhilan glanced at Shen Menglan with disdain and said sarcastically, "Aren't you already very satisfied that I can marry my cousin?"

Shen Menglan stared blankly at Xue Zhilan, suddenly feeling that the Xue Zhilan in front of her was a bit unfamiliar, no longer her gentle and virtuous daughter, and she didn't quite recognize the person in front of her.

Xue Zhilan's face contorted with rage as she roared at Shen Menglan, "I don't want to live such a pathetic life like you!"

Shen Menglan was stunned by this appearance, and at the same time, she was so angry by Xue Zhilan's words that she covered her face and wept.

Seeing Shen Menglan like this, Xue Zhilan said impatiently, "Don't let me see you again, you disgust me!"

Shen Menglan covered her face and ran out crying.

Those outside assumed she was heartbroken because she couldn't bear to see her daughter get married.

Soon the wedding procession arrived, and Xue Zhilan was forcibly dressed by the matchmaker and put into the bridal sedan chair.

The Xue residence was not far from the Shen residence, separated by only two alleys, and the bridal sedan chair arrived at the Shen residence quickly.

Xue Yao and Xiao Xiao, who were originally surrounded by the crowd, gradually lost the crowd's attention as the groom arrived, and Xiao Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The matchmaker loudly explained the rules, and everyone followed the newlyweds to the front hall.

"The ceremony is complete. Send the bride to the bridal chamber!" the matchmaker shouted excitedly.

"Hehe, congratulations, Minister Shen."

After the ceremony was completed, everyone hurriedly congratulated Shen Changmin.

"Hehe, congratulations to you all, congratulations to you all! An'er is practically the nephew of all of you, isn't he? Come, let's drink until we drop today. Please, all of you, and every friend who has graced my humble abode, take your seats."

Shim Changmin warmly led everyone to sit down.

Sure enough, experience counts. The crowd, who had initially come expecting a good show, were now thoroughly entertained by Shim Changmin's few words and had long forgotten that they had come to see a joke.
