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

Chapter 138

As soon as she returned, she went to find Wu Da, a steward in the mansion.

Qin Shuangya had given Wu Da several hundred taels of silver over the past few months and often ordered him to do things for her. Wu Da treated her like a cash cow and was quite polite to her.

He smiled and said, "Aunt Qin has returned from her parents' home? You must be much better off financially now, right?"

Qin Shuangya gritted her teeth and said, "Don't even mention it, my family refuses to give me any money."

Wu Da said slowly, "That would be troublesome. Without money, it would be difficult for me to work for Aunt Qin in the future."

Qin Shuangya stared at him: "I overheard you mentioning when you were drinking that you have a brother who's a kidnapper?"

Wu Da was startled by her and quickly looked around to make sure no one was there. He approached Qin Shuangya and lowered his voice, saying, "Grandma, watch your mouth. Why are you asking this?"

Qin Shuangya's face was sinister and resolute: "Go find your brother and tell him that I'll show you a way to make money. The Yongning Marquis's mansion has three children, all only four years old. I'll help you kidnap them and ask the Yongning Marquis's mansion for money. You can get at least 50,000 taels of silver!"

Old Madam Qin is actually quite wealthy; she has a lot of Liu Manman's dowry in her hands. As for Shen Lingjun, needless to say, he swallowed up so many of the Marquis's properties; the Shen family is definitely rich too.

Qin Shuangya refused to believe that Old Madam Qin and Qin Shaoze didn't care about her, or even their children and grandchildren!

And then there's Shen Lingjun, who would definitely be willing to spend any amount of money for her twins.

Qin Shuangya felt that the people from the Yongning Marquis's mansion were the culprits behind her current miserable situation, so she would not let any of them go and wanted to take revenge on them!

Wu Da clicked his tongue: "Aunt Qin, you've gone too far. That's the Yongning Marquis's mansion, a child of a noble family. Do you think they're so easy to kidnap?"

Qin Shuangya handed him a hundred-tael silver note: "I have my own way. You just need to help me make a connection with your brother. Once we get the money, you can get a share. Prince Cheng is already half a cripple. Prince Cheng's mansion will only decline more and more in the future. What future do you have working here? You might as well make plans early, take some risks and make a fortune. Then you won't have to worry about the rest of your life."

Wu Da was a ruthless man with a bit of a wild streak, and he had done his fair share of outrageous things. Now, he was swayed by Liu Manman's words and actually became interested.

"Okay, I'll contact my brother for you, and we'll talk about it later."

......

Kyoto had been drizzling for several days, but the weather cleared up on Qingming Festival.

As usual, the people of the Yongning Marquis's residence went to the outskirts to sweep the tomb of the deceased old marquis.

The old Marquis was buried in the Qin family ancestral cemetery, which, due to certain historical reasons of the family, is located in a very remote mountain valley on the outskirts of the city.

Shen Lingjun also took her two children to sweep the tombs.

The old Marquis of the Qin family and the old General of the Shen family, who was Shen Lingjun's deceased grandfather, had a good relationship during their lifetimes. Although the old Marquis was an unvirtuous wife and a poor father, he himself had never harmed Shen Lingjun. For the sake of her grandfather and children, Shen Lingjun was still willing to go and sweep his grave.

Of course, although she was traveling with Qin Shaoze, Liu Manman and others, the atmosphere between them was extremely cold and stiff, as if they didn't know each other at all.

Old Madam Qin was unable to move around easily and did not go; Yao Sujuan was only a concubine and was not qualified to go. Only Qin Shaoze and Liu Manman rode in one carriage, while Qin Xuanrui and his wet nurse, Granny Wang, rode in another.

Shen Lingjun also had two carriages, quite a distance away from them. She and Dou Niang rode in one, while Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi rode together in the other, following behind. Wang Jin also sat with the two children.

A line of four carriages, one after the other, left the city and headed to the Qin family ancestral tombs.
