The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy

Chapter 370: Seizing the Minister’s Wife 22

Liu Ruyan was so frightened by Huo Changwen's words that she trembled all over. She knew that once she reported it to the police, she would have no way out.

She could only cry and beg, "Chang Wen, I beg you, don't report it to the police. I will find a way to get the dowry back. Believe me..."

Huo Changwen ignored her pleas. He turned around and ordered the servants, "Take her away and lock her up in the woodshed. No one is allowed to let her out without my order!"

The servants responded and took Liu Ruyan away. Huo Changwen looked at her back without any pity in his heart. All that Liu Ruyan was going through now was her own fault and she could not blame anyone else. A woman like this who was greedy and full of lies was simply unforgivable!

Afterwards, Huo Changwen began to deal with the dowry issue. He sent people to look for the dowry that was sold by Liu Ruyan.

However, Liu Ruyan handled all these things in secret, and many of them could not be recovered.

If he did not return Sheng Rao's dowry in full, he felt that it would be unlikely given the current friendship between him and Sheng Rao, and the dowry must be more, not less.

The emperor already disliked him because of this incident, and if someone wrote a memorial to the emperor about the dowry issue, his official career would really be ruined.

After all, the Sheng family is the richest family in Qi County, and every item of Sheng Rao's dowry is priceless. Huo Changwen wants to compensate with money, but he simply does not have that much money.

Huo Changwen was in a dilemma for a moment.

Just then, a servant came to report that Princess Mingtang had arrived.

Huo Changwen's eyes suddenly lit up. The person who could solve this problem had arrived.

Huo Changwen quickly calmed himself down, walked out of the warehouse, and greeted Princess Mingtang who was waiting outside the door.

Princess Mingtang Lin Mingyue was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a golden hairpin on her head. When she saw Huo Changwen, a smile appeared on her face.

"Lord Huo, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" Princess Mingtang's voice was gentle and pleasant, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

Even after not seeing each other for two days, Lin Mingyue felt like he hadn't seen Huo Changwen for a long time.

Huo Changwen bowed hurriedly, with an awkward smile on his face: "My princess, how are you? I have some family matters to take care of, so I was unable to greet you in time. I hope you will forgive me."

Princess Mingtang waved her hand, signaling Huo Changwen not to be polite: "Master Huo, you are too polite. There is no need for such false formalities between you and me. I came here today to congratulate Master Huo on his successful divorce."

Lin Mingyue's words stunned Huo Changwen. He didn't expect Lin Mingyue to congratulate him so directly.

Although he felt a little embarrassed, he still forced himself to maintain a smile on his face and said, "Thank you for your concern, the matter has been settled, so you don't have to worry."

Lin Mingyue smiled gently, she knew what Huo Changwen was talking about.

"It seems you made the right choice, Chang Wen, I am relieved."

Between Sheng Rao and her, Huo Changwen still chose her. Only she could help Huo Changwen return to the court. Sheng Rao was just a merchant's daughter. What ability did she have? She couldn't help Huo Changwen at all. Only she was the right match for Huo Changwen!

"Chang Wen, I will ask the Emperor for a marriage when I return. Don't worry, you will be able to re-enter the court soon!"

Lin Mingyue was full of confidence. Considering how much the Queen Mother doted on her, this matter was bound to be a sure thing.

"Thank you, Princess. However, the marriage may have to be postponed for a few days."

Huo Changwen behaved in a gentle and polite manner, but there was some hidden meaning in his words.

"What's wrong? Is there something going on?"

Lin Mingyue was a little confused. Why did Huo Changwen postpone the marriage?

Lin Mingyue's doubt caused a brief fluctuation in Huo Changwen's eyes. He took a deep breath, as if weighing his words.

"Princess, to be honest, I have encountered some difficult things now. I can only marry you with peace of mind after I have dealt with them properly." Huo Changwen's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

"A difficult matter? What is it?"

Lin Mingyue really didn't understand, Huo Changwen had already divorced Sheng Rao, so what kind of difficult things could there be.

Lin Mingyue asked curiously, her bright eyes full of concern and curiosity.

Huo Changwen frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "It's about Sheng Rao's dowry. When she married me, she brought a lot of valuable dowry. Now I need to return it in full, but many of the items have been secretly sold by Liu and are difficult to recover. If this matter is not handled properly, it may cause dissatisfaction among the Sheng family and even the ministers of the court. They will accuse me of embezzling the dowry, which will be detrimental to my return to the court in the future."

Lin Mingyue heard this, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, then Sheng Rao

A little bit of dirty money? She still thinks it's nothing.

Lin Mingyue looked down on Sheng Rao, but she concealed her contempt very well. She comforted him softly, "Don't worry about this matter. I will help you solve it. I will go to the palace immediately to see the Queen Mother and ask her to negotiate with Sheng Rao. I believe Sheng Rao will definitely not pursue it."

Huo Changwen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Lin Mingyue's influence in the palace should not be underestimated. With her intervention, the matter would be easily resolved. He looked at Lin Mingyue gratefully, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Princess. I will always remember your kindness in my heart." Huo Changwen bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Lin Mingyue smiled lightly and waved her hand, indicating that Huo Changwen didn't need to be so polite.

"You and I will be husband and wife in the future. Your business is my business. Also, you don't have to call me Princess all the time. You can just call me by my name."

"Okay, Mingyue, I'm sorry to bother you with my affairs."

Huo Changwen knew how to read people's expressions and act accordingly, so he did not hesitate at all to change his words.

Since he has decided to rely on such a powerful figure as Lin Mingyue, he will do things according to Lin Mingyue's wishes.

At this moment, Lin Mingyue was thinking about how to report this matter to the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother would favor her more and make Huo Changwen more dependent on her.

"It's not a big deal. Just wait. I'll go to the palace to find the Queen Mother and grandmother. Once the dowry issue is settled, I'll ask the Emperor to grant us a marriage!"

Lin Mingyue does things according to her mood. When she heard that Huo Changwen had signed the divorce agreement, she hurried to the Huo Mansion. And now, for Huo Changwen, she left the Huo Mansion in a hurry and went to the palace.

As soon as Lin Mingyue entered the palace, he went straight to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Seeing her in such a hurry, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel curious and asked her what was the important matter.

Lin Mingyue reported to the Queen Mother the divorce of Huo Changwen and Sheng Rao, as well as the dowry issue that Huo Changwen was currently facing.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she slowly spoke: "Mingyue, you know that although Huo Changwen's move may make him feel happy for a while, his future in the court may not be easy. He has lost the support of the Sheng family, and he is too close to you, so he may be criticized."

Lin Mingyue was shocked when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew that what the Queen Mother said was from the bottom of her heart, but she also had her own plans: "Grandmother, I know you are worried about me, but I have long been attracted to Huo Changwen. Although he has flaws, he is talented and will surely be able to revive in the future. I am willing to lend him a helping hand and face the future storms together."

The Queen Mother looked at Lin Mingyue's determined eyes and couldn't help feeling helpless.

The Queen Mother gently patted the back of Lin Mingyue's hand and said with a smile: "You girl, you are always so stubborn. In this case, I will obey you. After all, you are my most beloved granddaughter! Tomorrow I will summon Sheng Rao to discuss the dowry with her. You can go back and wait for good news."

Lin Mingyue was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandma! I'll go back and tell Chang Wen the good news!"

After saying this, she hurriedly left the Queen Mother's bedroom.
