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

Chapter 165

Shen Lingjun replied in a deep voice, "Don't worry, brother, I will do my best. And I will also find a way to help with your leg."

She gave Shen Wei another more thorough examination, and then racked her brains for the best treatment plan.

Madam Wen reminded her, "Jun'er, it's already past midnight. If you don't return to the Yongning Marquis's residence all night, something might have happened. You should go back first and come back tomorrow."

Shen Lingjun absentmindedly agreed and went back to the Yongning Marquis's residence.

The next day, Shen Jingyang wrote a letter to the emperor, explaining that he and Shen Wei had escaped with their lives thanks to the emperor's blessing and had now returned to the capital.

Since he and Shen Wei had returned alive, they naturally had to report to the emperor.

The emperor summoned Shen Jingyang to the palace and saw that he was paralyzed in both legs and could only sit in a wheelchair. He also thought of Shen Wei, who was unconscious and unable to enter the palace to pay his respects. The father and son, who were once invincible on the battlefield, had now fallen to such a state. The emperor's feelings were very complicated.

The Emperor sighed, "Shen Jingyang, your father made a misjudgment, leading to defeat and the loss of 30,000 Shen family soldiers. Now that you have returned alive, I will not punish you for your past merits. However, I will not return your general positions to you. In any case, given your current physical condition, you are no longer able to lead troops. You can rest at home from now on. Do you have any objections?"

Unable to kneel and kowtow, Shen Jingyang bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty is magnanimous. This humble general... no, this commoner thanks Your Majesty for your kindness."

Although he knew there was something wrong behind this battle, it was just a guess at the moment, without any evidence. Shen Wei, the only one who knew the truth, had not yet woken up, so he naturally could not tell the emperor at this time.

Being dismissed from his post, he could only endure it for now and wait until the day when his name was cleared.

The emperor waved his hand with a sigh, dismissing Shen Jingyang.

......

The Yongning Marquis's Residence.

These past few days, Shen Lingjun has been going to the Shen residence every day, researching how to treat Shen Wei. She leaves early and returns late, not coming back until dark. Anyway, no one is bothering her now.

That evening, when she returned to Yufei Courtyard with Dou Niang, she found the front yard brightly lit and noisy, with the sounds carrying all the way over here.

Shen Lingjun asked the servants at Yufei Courtyard, "What's going on over there? Why is it still so noisy so late at night?"

The servant replied, "It seems that something has happened to Madam Liu, and it's a big one. Many people from the Marquis's residence are watching the commotion over there."

Shen Lingjun also went to the front yard and was shocked.

The front yard was filled with howling and wailing. Several injured people were lying on stretchers, covered in blood, and a large group of people, presumably the injured's relatives, were shouting and demanding compensation.

Liu Manman also seemed to be injured, lying on a stretcher, her body and face covered in blood, crying her heart out.

Shen Lingjun quietly asked Yao Sujuan, who was standing beside her, "Aunt Yao, what's going on?"

Yao Sujuan outwardly appeared regretful and worried, but in reality, she was extremely gloating:

"I heard that Madam Liu was making some kind of explosive in that soap workshop last time. The explosive she made was quite powerful, but very unstable. It exploded and injured herself and several of the helpers she hired. Now these helpers are coming to her door demanding compensation."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

She was truly impressed by Liu Manman.
