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

Chapter 120

Shen Lingjun's expression changed drastically!

She suddenly stood up, knocking over the chair in the process.

She could hardly believe her ears: "You... what did you say?"

Mo Zhonggui looked at the sudden loss of color in her face, sighed almost imperceptibly, and said, "My men sent word today from the northwest border that someone saw General Shen and his son in the Wulan Mountain area, but it's just a clue, not a certainty."

Shen Lingjun's heart was surging with emotion, as if waves of giant waves were crashing over her mind, almost making her unable to stand.

Her father and brothers may not be dead!

Shen Wei and Shen Jingyang were defeated and disappeared near Wulan Mountain. Although they were presumed dead, their bodies were never found.

It is indeed possible that they survived by sheer luck!

Shen Lingjun immediately forgot everything else and turned to run out the door!

Mo Zhonggui grabbed her arm: "Where are you going?"

Shen Lingjun tried to break free from his grasp: "Go to the border! Go find my father and brothers!"

Her father and her brother are still alive!

I wonder how they are doing now!

How could she possibly stay here any longer!

Mo Zhonggui's hand gripped her wrist like an iron hoop, remaining unmoved: "How do you plan to go to the border? Will you take your two children with you? Or will you leave them at the Yongning Marquis's residence?"

One sentence was enough to calm Shen Lingjun down.

It takes at least a month to get to the northwest border from here, and a round trip could take several months.

She couldn't possibly leave the twins in the Yongning Marquis's residence. Qin Chuyao held the status of the Yongning Marquis's heir, and was also a thorn in the side of those people in the Marquis's residence. If she wasn't there, the two children might be devoured, leaving not even bones.

Taking them along is not an option either. The Yongning Marquis's mansion already ostracized the mother and her two children. If they were to leave for several months, by the time they returned, there would be no place for them in the mansion.

In any case, it's unrealistic for her to make the trip herself.

Shen Lingjun gritted her teeth and turned around, kneeling down in front of Mo Zhonggui.

"Master Mo, please help me find my father and brothers and bring them back! From now on, you can make whatever medicine you want, and save whomever you want. I will always be at your beck and call!"

Mo Zhonggui looked down at Shen Lingjun, raised his eyebrows slightly, and curled the corners of his mouth.

"Is that so?... But before, when I asked you to make medicine, you still made medicine; when I asked you to save people, you still saved people. In that case, why should I help you?"

Shen Lingjun: "..."

What he said made so much sense that she was speechless.

Even if Mo Zhonggui doesn't help her, she generally won't dare to disobey his orders as long as they don't cause her too much harm.

Mo Zhonggui leaned down and reached out to lift Shen Lingjun's chin.

"If you want me to do something so important for you, shouldn't you show even greater sincerity?"

Shen Lingjun gritted her teeth.

Having known Mo Zhonggui for some time, she felt she had come to understand him somewhat and knew what this pervert wanted to hear.

Shen Lingjun suppressed her shame, closed her eyes, and steeled her resolve.

"I...I will be your person from now on, Master...I will do whatever you want me to do!"

She knew that the price she would have to pay might be more unbearable than she had imagined.

However, she was willing to make this sacrifice as long as her father and brother could return safely.

Her self-respect, her integrity, her innocence... none of these are as important as her family.

From the moment she asked Mo Chonggui for help, she was mentally prepared for everything.

Mo Zhonggui's smile deepened, and she finally revealed a satisfied expression.

Shen Lingjun felt his gaze wandering over her body, looking her up and down as if she were prey to be manipulated and slaughtered.

"My people can do whatever you want with them?"

Shen Lingjun felt a chill run down her spine. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Mo Zhonggui. Her heart was pounding wildly, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

...Would he be planning to do something to her right here?

The two children and servants are outside, but they could come in at any moment!

When Mo Zhonggui's hand touched Shen Lingjun's body, even though she had prepared herself mentally, she was still jolted and her whole body tensed up reflexively, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.

However, Mo Zhonggui paused for a moment, then simply pulled her up from the ground.

"Mrs. Shen, you said it yourself. It's truly something to look forward to."

Shen Lingjun stood up blankly, and after a moment of surprise, she quickly asked, "Then... does Chief Eunuch Mo mean he's agreed to help me?"

Mo Zhonggui glanced at her: "Since you are willing to dedicate yourself to me, I never treat those who can afford to pay a price unfairly."

Shen Lingjun: "......" When did she say she was going to offer herself to him?

Mo Zhonggui looked at her and gave her a malicious smile: "I'm leaving now. I'll come back to do something interesting with Madam Shen sometime when I feel like it."

He turned and walked out. Shen Lingjun suddenly remembered the question she wanted to ask him earlier and chased after him, asking, "Chief Supervisor Mo, you said last time that I was the one who caused that Young Master Lin to be seriously injured. What exactly happened?"

Mo Zhonggui paused for a moment, but did not turn around or answer her.

"Madam Shen, if you don't want to end up in a terrible situation in my hands, you'd better not bring this up yourself."

After saying that, he disappeared through the doorway.

Shen Lingjun stood there, not daring to utter another sound.

Mo Zhonggui did indeed harbor considerable hatred towards her.

He may be suppressing this hatred, which is why he hasn't really done anything to her yet.

But why is he so tolerant of her? Is it because he thinks she's useful?

Shen Lingjun thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he put the question aside for the time being.

What she cares about more now is her father and brothers.

Since Mo Zhonggui came all the way to tell her this news, he probably wasn't just messing with her for no reason. Since he promised to help her find the person, he should do as he says.

However, the border and Kyoto are too far away, and it's uncertain when we'll receive definite news.

Shen Lingjun unconsciously clenched her hands, her heart pounding with tension.

Her father and brother must be alright!
