Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 100

Shen Lingjun thought that Mo Zhonggui wanted her to stay here to make sure that the boy was out of danger before she could leave.

"Is the injured person still unconscious? I'll go check on him again."

The servants still wouldn't let her leave.

"No, Young Master Lin has already woken up and said he's fine. But the Chief Supervisor has ordered that you are not allowed to leave."

Shen Lingjun was stunned.

"I'm mostly fine now, why won't you let me leave? Is there something else?"

The servant shook his head: "The supervisor didn't say."

Shen Lingjun was baffled: "Take me to see your supervisor, or at least ask him for me why I'm being kept here. There has to be some explanation, right?"

The servant still refused: "The supervisor is with Young Master Lin and will not see anyone at the moment."

Shen Lingjun was furious: "What is he trying to do? He called me over on New Year's Eve, and I stayed up all night to save the person. I deserve some credit, right? Is this how he treats me? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year! What's the meaning of making me stay here?"

If people find out she's missing, her reputation as the Lady of Yongning Marquis will be ruined!

The servants kept their heads down, remained silent, and did not argue with her, but their attitude was very firm; they refused to allow her to leave the room even a step.

Shen Lingjun knew that it would be useless to talk to these servants any further. They only obeyed Mo Zhonggui, and no matter how much she argued or questioned them, it would be a waste of energy.

She turned around angrily and went back to her room.

What's going on with Mo Zhonggui?!

Why are you locking her up here?!

As for the Yongning Marquis's residence, although Qin Shaoze and the others don't like Yufei Courtyard now and won't come to see her unless there's a problem, what if there is?

With the mistress of Yufei Courtyard gone, I hope nothing bad happens to Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi at this time...

Why is Mo Zhonggui so ungrateful? She helped him save someone during the New Year, and he didn't utter a single word of thanks from beginning to end. Not only that, but he also treated her like this!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

Shen Lingjun paced restlessly around the room, unable to sit down.

A short while later, a maid brought her breakfast, which was very lavish and did not seem like she was being mistreated.

But Shen Lingjun was in a bad mood and had no appetite, so he only ate a couple of bites.

She didn't sleep a wink last night, and although she was in a very bad mood, she had no desire to sleep at all.

They endured the whole day like this. Lunch and dinner were delivered to her, but there was still no news. They asked the servants at the door, but they couldn't get any information out of them.

Shen Lingjun was furious. She thought that if Mo Chonggui still didn't let her out tomorrow, she would have to resort to other means.

Although using underhanded tactics on Mo Zhonggui's turf sounds like courting death, she can't just sit here and wait, can she?

That night, Shen Lingjun still didn't want to sleep. She racked her brains trying to think of a way to get out, but because she was so tired, she leaned against a chaise lounge and unconsciously tilted her head to one side and closed her eyes.

The door to the room was pushed open.

Mo Chonggui stood at the door and immediately saw Shen Lingjun sleeping inside, fully clothed.

She leaned against the chaise lounge, her eyes closed, her long eyelashes drooping down like black butterfly wings, casting two wispy shadows on her face.

Because I had been holding in a lot of anger all day, I didn't pay much attention to my appearance. I didn't even realize my hair was messy, with a few stray strands sticking out, making me look like I had my hair all frizzy.

This softened her usual aloofness, making her appear more vibrant than ever before.

The candlelight illuminated her face, the light and shadow outlining her features with exceptional clarity, creating a beauty that was impossible to look away from.

Mo Zhonggui's gaze turned incredibly dark and unfathomable in that instant.

The malice that had been lurking in my heart grew stronger at this moment.

If she were truly imprisoned here for the rest of her life...
