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

Chapter 118

The entire Yongning Marquis's residence was thrown into chaos, with arguments raging for several days. In the end, Liu Manman had to compromise.

If she wanted Qin Shaoze's favor, she had no choice but to humble herself.

In order to get Liu Manman to obediently take care of him and be a good sucker, Qin Shaoze didn't keep up his act and softened his attitude, talking to Liu Manman patiently for a long time.

“Manman, I know Mother is not easy to take care of. She is bedridden and her temper is inevitably a bit bad, but as her daughter-in-law, you should be more tolerant of her… My father passed away early, and Mother raised me all by herself with great difficulty. It’s not easy for her, and it’s time for us younger generations to repay her… Your filial piety towards her is not only to share my burden, but also to consider your own reputation…”

"..."

Liu Manman felt a bitter taste in her mouth as she listened.

But not wanting to ruin her relationship with Qin Shaoze, she held back and didn't lash out again.

After scolding her, Qin Shaoze offered her sweet words and coaxed her until Liu Manman finally cheered up a little.

In the end, she still had no choice but to continue taking care of Old Mrs. Qin.

......

News of what happened at Shou'an Courtyard spread quickly and was vividly recounted to Shen Lingjun by Dou Niang, a semi-professional storyteller.

Shen Lingjun listened with great interest.

Sure, she loves watching this family fight like dogs.

She had experienced firsthand how difficult Old Mrs. Qin was over the past three years.

When Qin Shaoze got married, he said the same thing to her, telling her that his mother had had a hard life and that she should be more filial to her.

Now she's finally free. Let them take care of their parents properly.

Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor; whoever's mother has had a hard time should make amends.

Shen Lingjun guessed that Liu Manman was not unaware of this principle, but she truly loved Qin Shaoze and wanted to compete for his favor, so she was willing to please him.

Then love her! Let's see when she finally realizes what kind of scum she's in love with!

That's something to look forward to!

Shen Lingjun instructed Hong Qing: "The Shou'an Hospital is already causing a huge commotion on its own, so there's not much to worry about. From now on, keep a close eye on Qin Shaoze."

Three months have passed, and the slow-acting poison she administered to Qin Shaoze, Huahunsan, should now be gradually taking effect.

Red Dragonfly immediately understood and took the order.

After that, news came from the Wen family that Consort Jing in the palace had just become pregnant and wanted to go to the palace with Shen Lingjun to see her.

This was good news, and Shen Lingjun naturally agreed without hesitation.

Two days later, Shen Lingjun and Lady Wen entered the palace together.

Because of her pregnancy, Consort Jing received a reward from the Emperor, and now the entire Changxin Palace is her residence.

She was only a month pregnant and didn't show any signs of pregnancy, but she looked completely different.

Previously, Consort Jing had a poor complexion, with a dark and yellowish skin tone and many blemishes on her face that were difficult to conceal even with makeup. Even with her delicate features, her appearance was significantly diminished.

But now, her complexion has brightened several shades, all those blemishes are gone, and her skin is smooth and delicate. Although she can't be called fair-skinned, it's already the kind of skin a beauty should have. Her complexion is also much better; her lips are red without lipstick, her eyebrows are green without makeup, and her face is as radiant as a spring flower in the morning. You could easily believe she's in her prime.

Consort Jing was originally quite beautiful, and with this improvement, her current appearance is among the best, even in the palace with its thousands of beauties.

Shen Lingjun exclaimed, "Consort Jing is so young and beautiful!"
