C173 No harm in it (1/2)

Knowing that Shangguan Li wanted to acknowledge Yun Luo as his adopted sister, Shangguan Hong disagreed.

”Their origins are unknown, how can they be so casual?”

He had lived longer in the world, so he was still cautious about everything.

Shangguan Li tried his best to convince his father, ”Miss Yun Luo and I are on good terms at first sight. Although we haven't known each other for long, we know her character. Also, Brother Nan Gong is righteous and is definitely not a treacherous person, please grant me your wish.”

Although he was a princess, he had to first obtain his father's approval to recognize his brothers and sisters.

”Third brother, be careful.” Shangguan Hong was still hesitant.

”Master, I think what Ol 'Three said is very unreasonable. That husband and wife must have ascended the Spirit Mountain to obtain the holy water, that's for sure, so in order to fulfill their wish, they came up with such a method. From the beginning, they were just using us, so how could we just let others use us as they pleased?”

They must not be allowed to easily obtain the holy water, as it would affect Min Er's future.

Speaking of which, Second Madam seemed to possess a spirit that was unafraid of death. She actually dared to secretly go against the Empress.

Shangguan Hong said nothing, as if he was waiting for his Third Bro to say something.

”I think Er Niang misunderstood something. I wanted to recognize Lady Yun Luo as my adopted sister because it was my own idea and I also proposed it. As for the holy water, if she became a member of my Shangguan family, then he would naturally have the right to receive the holy water.” Shangguan Li spoke neither rapidly nor swiftly, and his tone was that of a rational man.

Second Madam naturally refused to accept this. ”Master, there's actually another way for them to become our men.”

”Oh? ”What is it?” Although Shangguan Hong didn't really like Second Branch, he was fine listening to her suggestion.

Second Madam was exceptionally proud as she said: ”Marry Min'er to Nangong Yu.”

Hearing that, Shangguan Hong was furious, ”What? You actually have the heart to make your own daughter become a child for someone else? ”

”Old master, I …”

”Alright!” There's no need to go into details. I, your father, will agree to all of your requests. ” Before the Second Madam could explain, he interrupted her.

”Old Master, in truth, Nangong Yu really is …”

”Didn't you hear me? ”Scram!”

Just like this, Second Madam wanted to expose Nangong Yu's identity as the Emperor, but she couldn't because of Shangguan Hong's temper. How sad was it that she didn't say anything.

When Second Madam returned to her room, Shangguan Min was already waiting for her.

”How is it?” Her face was filled with anticipation.

Second Madam shook her head, looking depressed.

Currently, there was nothing in the Spirit Mountain that could compare to her.

Shangguan Min was discouraged. ”Are we really going to let go of such a great opportunity?”

The opposite party was the emperor, after all. If they left this time, they would have no chance of meeting each other again. To be promoted to imperial concubine, that was just wishful thinking.

”Daughter, since we've lost, we might as well accept our fate.” Only now did Second Madam realize that she could not rely on others, and could not rely on herself either.

Shangguan Min's eyes reddened, ”Why did I lose?” Just because I'm a girl? If I were a man, I would definitely be more outstanding than Big Bro and Third Bro! ”

”Mother knows, but …” Second Madam wanted to comfort him, but she gave up in the end. Saying it out loud would only add to her worries.

”Don't talk about it anymore. Actually, I don't blame you. All these years, you've been living a bitter life. If you want to complain, then blame it on Third Bro. He stole everything from me!”

Shangguan Min walked out of her room in a daze and descended the spiritual mountain.

The street at the foot of Spirit Mountain was bustling with activity.

He arrived at a tavern, booked a private room, and ordered several jars of good wine.

She used to drink a lot, but she rarely got drunk.

It was because she believed that drinking wine to numb her own actions was done by a coward. However, the current her seemed to have become a coward.
