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

Chapter 107

"What are you doing! Let's talk this out!"

When Qin Shaoze first saw Liu Manman, he was not only surprised but also felt quite guilty.

He hadn't paid much attention to Liu Manman's affairs lately, and hadn't been at home for the past two days, so he didn't know that she had been released from prison and returned so quickly.

Qin Shaoze felt guilty for secretly taking a concubine without Liu Manman's knowledge, as it violated his vow to her.

But Liu Manman rushed up and started a tantrum, scratching and hitting him in front of so many people at the gate, showing no regard for his dignity as a man, which made him angry.

Liu Manman laughed angrily: "What am I doing? You actually ask me what I'm doing?... So that's why you've been ignoring me all this time. It turns out that while I was suffering in prison, you were secretly taking a concubine and enjoying yourself here! Did you throw all those vows you made to me back then into the dogs?!"

Qin Shaoze's face stiffened. He was indeed in the wrong for going back on his word.

But before he could speak, Yao Sujuan started.

Her eyes reddened, and she was on the verge of tears: "Sister Man, I'm sorry, please don't blame the Marquis, blame me instead... I accidentally fell into the water, and the Marquis saved me. He pitied me, thinking I'd spend the rest of my life as a Buddhist monk, so he took me as his concubine. The Marquis meant well; if you're angry, take it out on me..."

Liu Manman was not just angry, she was absolutely furious!

Well, she's such a fool to be completely fooled!

She thought Yao Sujuan was her only good friend in Kyoto, but it turned out that she had been deliberately trying to please her from the beginning, and then stabbed her in the back when she had a weakness!

What do you mean by "accidentally falling into the water"? Does she think she's never read historical romance novels? Aren't all those scheming women who want to climb the social ladder using the same trick? They lure men to rescue them, ruin their reputation, and then they're forced to marry them!

Liu Manman was so angry that she almost lost her mind. She rushed forward again, ready to slap Yao Sujuan!

"I'll beat you to death, you shameless scheming bitch! You little whore! Is nobody wanted anymore? All you do is steal other people's men! Since you're so shameless, I think you might as well just throw away your skin!"

But before Liu Manman could even touch Yao Sujuan, Yao Sujuan seemed to have been struck by a heavy blow. She let out a miserable cry and collapsed to the ground, her posture falling down in a beautiful, broken, and pitiful way, like a weak woman who had suffered all kinds of bullying and grievances.

"Sister Man... as long as you can forgive the Marquis, you can beat me however you want to vent your anger..."

Qin Shaoze rushed forward and stood in front of Yao Sujuan, facing Liu Manman with a fierce expression.

"Stop it right now! Look at yourself! Do you have any semblance of a lady of the Marquis's household left? You're nothing but a shrew! A madwoman!"

At this time, Yao Sujuan was gentle, considerate, understanding, and pitiful, a truly heart-wrenching and understanding flower; Liu Manman was disheveled, dirty, smelly, and had a grotesque and distorted face, making her repulsive to look at.

Qin Shaoze's heart was completely tipped in favor of Yao Sujuan.

“I swore to you that I would never have another woman, but you have to think about what you were like back then and what you are like now! You did something as stupid as poisoning someone, which got you imprisoned and brought shame to the entire Marquis’s mansion. In any other family, a wife like that would have been divorced long ago! My unwavering devotion to you is already a testament to my deep affection. What else do you have to complain about!”

With that, Qin Shaoze helped Yao Sujuan up from the ground, held her protectively in his arms, and left the gate without even glancing at Liu Manman.

Liu Manman stared blankly at their departing figures, as if all her strength had been drained away, and collapsed to the ground.

Her face was ashen. Her expression was a mixture of crying and laughing.

He muttered repeatedly, "No...it can't be..."
