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

Chapter 141

Shen Lingjun suddenly realized: "So it's Young Master Lin."

The boy's face was covered in blood, so she couldn't see his features clearly. But the young man before her had a handsome face and refined features; she didn't recognize him at first glance.

Shen Lingjun asked, "How is Young Master Lin's recovery progressing?"

Young Master Lin said, "Thank you, Madam Shen. I am much better now and can move around freely, just like before."

Shen Lingjun took his pulse and found that he had recovered quite well, without any aftereffects.

"You don't need to thank me. It was Chief Supervisor Mo who asked me to treat your injuries," Shen Lingjun said half-jokingly. "I had no choice but to comply."

Young Master Lin smiled and said, "Even so, Madam Shen has still done me a great favor, which I will never forget."

Shen Lingjun could see that he only felt gratitude towards her, and did not seem to have any grudge against her at all. Mo Zhonggui had said that it was because of her that Young Master Lin was indirectly seriously injured.

Shen Lingjun thought she could get the reason from Young Master Lin, so she tentatively asked, "Young Master Lin, how did you get such serious injuries?"

Young Master Lin hesitated for a moment.

"It is one of my enemies... I apologize that I cannot tell Madam Shen who it is."

Shen Lingjun was a little disappointed, but still pressed on, "Does this enemy of yours have anything to do with me?"

Young Master Lin was puzzled: "This... shouldn't be the case? I've never heard of him having any connection with you."

Shen Lingjun was even more puzzled.

Why would Mo Chonggui blame her?

Lin Gongzi seemed a little flustered by her question, and bowed to Shen Lingjun again, saying, "Is Madam Shen waiting here for Chief Eunuch Mo to return? I won't disturb you any longer, I'll take my leave now."

Shen Lingjun knew that she probably wouldn't get anything out of him, so she gave up.

She watched Lin Gongzi's departing figure; he was heading towards the inner courtyard. Clearly, he had been staying at the Mo residence all this time.

Moreover, he was clearly not a servant here, but a master.

Shen Lingjun couldn't help but wonder, what exactly is the relationship between Young Master Lin and Mo Zhonggui?

This was the first time she had ever seen someone stay at Mo Zhonggui's residence for several months at a time.

While Shen Lingjun was lost in thought, a familiar voice sounded from behind.

"Madam Shen was so captivated by that handsome young man that she was completely mesmerized?"

Shen Lingjun turned around abruptly. Mo Zhonggui was on the other side of the hall, raising an eyebrow as he looked at her with a sinister sneer.

Shen Lingjun immediately disregarded Mo Zhonggui's teasing tone and rushed forward: "Chief Supervisor Mo, Yao'er and Xi'er have been kidnapped!"

Mo Zhonggui's expression changed instantly, and the mocking look he had just given her vanished without a trace.

"When did this happen? Where were you kidnapped?"

"This morning, we went to the Qin family ancestral graves to pay respects to the old Marquis. On the way, we passed through a grove of trees when a group of bandits rushed out and kidnapped Yao'er, Xi'er, and Qin Xuanrui. Wang Jin has already gone to track down the bandits, but I'm worried she might be outnumbered, so I've come to ask the Grand Eunuch for help..."

Mo Zhonggui said decisively, "Go back to the Yongning Marquis's residence and wait for news. I will lead people to rescue the two children."

With those words from him, Shen Lingjun felt half relieved.
