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

Chapter 102

Shen Lingjun took a look and saw a box filled with all kinds of rare medicinal herbs and rare treasures.

The ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms were all top-grade, extremely old specimens, worth a fortune. Even more rare were the many other rare medicinal herbs that money couldn't buy normally, precious specialties from distant and exotic lands. Even she, the last disciple of the Apricot and Orange Elder, couldn't procure so many fine things.

The other box contained raw materials for refining various poisons, including highly toxic herbs, minerals, snake venom, frog venom, scorpion venom, and so on.

Although Shen Lingjun wasn't a professional poison enthusiast, poisons were still quite useful to her now. These raw materials for making poisons were so rare and valuable, so she certainly wouldn't refuse them when they were offered to her.

The value of these two boxes of items is immeasurable. Mo Zhonggui wasn't stingy after all; although she didn't know why she had misunderstood her, she didn't let her efforts go to waste.

To be honest, she felt that Mo Zhonggui was really conflicted.

If you say he treated her well, sometimes you feel like he was really full of evil intentions and wanted to kill her; if you say he hated her, it wasn't pure hatred. He adopted her two children as his godsons and daughters, gave her such valuable gifts, and didn't do anything to actually harm her.

Shen Lingjun couldn't figure it out, so he simply put it aside for the time being and had the two boxes of things sorted and stored away carefully.

......

After the New Year, the Yongning Marquis's residence became increasingly deserted.

Because he was constantly being pointed at and gossiped about in Kyoto, Qin Shaoze couldn't stand it anymore. He had been training at a martial arts training ground in the suburbs of Kyoto, but now he simply moved there and lived there.

Shen Lingjun had finally gotten this opportunity.

She arranged to meet Yao Sujuan.

Now that the New Year is over, it's time to put some things on the agenda.

Yao Sujuan had already heard that Liu Manman had gone to jail. Liu Manman had done such a stupid thing as poisoning, bringing such a great disgrace to the Yongning Marquis's mansion. Qin Shaoze must be extremely dissatisfied with Liu Manman.

Yao Sujuan also knew that now was the best time for her to enter the Yongning Marquis's residence.

"Mrs. Shen, what should I do?"

Shen Lingjun said, "Qin Shaoze is not in the Marquis's mansion now. He has gone to the martial arts training ground outside the city. You also need to leave the city. Just say you are going to Cibei Temple to burn incense. The road there will pass near the martial arts training ground. I will send someone to devise a plan to make you encounter danger outside the city, while luring Qin Shaoze to rescue you. Whether it succeeds or not depends on you."

Yao Sujuan felt a surge of excitement upon hearing this.

Shen Lingjun's plan is good!

She had sensed before that Qin Shaoze wasn't completely indifferent to her.

With these conditions in place, as long as she's quick-witted and performs well, this deal is sure to go through!

Without Shen Lingjun's help, it would indeed be difficult for her, an unfavored illegitimate daughter, to accomplish this.

Because she didn't have much interaction with Qin Shaoze, it was difficult to find a suitable opportunity. Since he didn't take the initiative, her only option was to try and seduce him, but that would ruin her reputation and make her unable to hold her head high in the Yongning Marquis's mansion, which was not what she wanted.

If she were in danger in a deserted area, he would have no choice but to come to her rescue, and if he ruined her reputation, he would naturally have to take responsibility for her.

Yao Sujuan stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Lingjun.

"Madam Shen, if I can enter the Yongning Marquis's residence, I will definitely follow your lead and never oppose you, nor will I affect your status and position!"

She now deeply regrets turning to curry favor with Liu Manman. At the time, she thought Liu Manman was the rightful mistress of the Yongning Marquis's mansion, but unexpectedly, she squandered her advantages and went from being a revered and devoted physician to a prisoner.

Shen Lingjun remained seated and accepted Yao Sujuan's bow with composure.

She listened to Yao Sujuan's words in one ear and out the other, not taking them seriously at all.

Now, Yao Sujuan is just a pawn to her; she will no longer have any friendship or trust with her.
