C173 No harm in it

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.

I just want to get drunk.

From the afternoon to the evening, he drank a total of three pots.

The assistant could not bear to watch any longer, so he came in and whispered, "Miss Shangguan, do you want me to send you home?"

Who didn't know the Second Miss of the Spirit Mountain?

"I don't want it! Get lost! "Get lost!" Even when he was drunk, he resisted the urge to return to his so-called home.

The shop assistant was about to continue to persuade her, but when he thought about how her temper was not good to provoke, he didn't dare to say anything.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he bumped into a person.

"Young master is?"

"I am a friend of the Second Miss and am currently visiting the Spirit Mountain. How about I send the Second Miss back?"

The shop assistant was a little hesitant. After all, this was no one else but the princess' own sister.

The person knew what the shop assistant was worried about, so he approached Shangguan Min.

Shangguan Min looked at her and mumbled, "Luo Leyan, what are you doing here?"

Master Luo turned around and smiled to the shop assistant.

Only then did the assistant confirm that the Second Miss did know this person.

"Alright, then I'll be troubling you, Young Master."

Luo Leyan nodded her head appropriately and then helped Shangguan Min out of the room. Before she left, she even paid for the food and wine and gave some extra benefits to the shop assistant.

Whether it was when she was sober or when she was drunk, Shangguan Min had an instinctive dislike to this man, Luo Leyan.

Thus, she didn't really listen to his words.

Originally, the journey to bring her up the mountain was not far. However, due to her uncooperative nature, it was exceptionally difficult for Luo Leyan.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the woman beside him. His face was completely red, as if there were flowers blooming on it.

It was also at this moment that he had thoughts that he shouldn't have had.

He carried her in his arms and walked into the inn.

When the boss registered, Shangguan Min's face was buried in Luo Leyan's chest, so the boss couldn't see her face clearly.

Besides, the Shangguan Family's Second Miss was famous for being pure and honest. How could she be drunk in the middle of the night with an unfamiliar man?

Thus, no matter what, he had not expected that she was Shangguan Min.

Luo Leyan carried her upstairs and placed her on the bed before closing the door.

Shangguan Min was still unconscious as she mumbled, "I want to be a real man, I don't want to be beneath Shangguan Li, I want to be a real man …"

Luo Leyan forced a smile. What was there to do with this woman? Even if your heart is higher than the heavens, so what? You are still a woman, how can you imitate Wu Zetian and become a female emperor?

He sat on the edge of the bed, took her hand and placed it on his chest. From the first moment I saw you, I liked you. Your beauty made me unable to extricate myself from it. "

At this moment, Shangguan Min seemed to have regained consciousness for a moment. Her eyes gradually became clear and she could clearly see the face of the person in front of her. She quickly pulled her hand away and tried to get up from the bed.

"You hypocrite, what do you want to do?"

"Hypocrite?" Luo Leyan smiled and said, "Alright then. I'll let you have a taste of what a true hypocrite is!"

He pressed her down on the bed, immobilizing her, and roughly tore off her clothes, revealing her white body.

"Tsk tsk, what a rare beauty …"
