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

Chapter 167

Liu Manman cried so hard she almost passed out.

Yao Sujuan felt this was a great opportunity for her to shine, so she quickly went up to comfort Qin Shaoze: "Shaoze, don't be too angry. Sister Man meant well. It's her first time doing this, she has no experience, so it's inevitable that she won't do it perfectly..."

Qin Shaoze's expression softened somewhat after being soothed by Yao Sujuan's gentle words.

Fortunately, there was still Yao Sujuan in the Marquis's mansion, which gave him some comfort.

Yao Sujuan is the kind of woman he admires. She is gentle, considerate, and understanding at all times, which makes him feel that his self-esteem as a man is greatly satisfied.

He must have been blind back then; I don't know how he fell for that good-for-nothing Liu Manman!

He's not very capable, but he has a big temper; he'll only cause him trouble!

He now feels disgusted whenever he sees Liu Manman!

Yao Sujuan added fuel to the fire, saying to Liu Manman, "Sister Manman, let me take you back to Weixia Courtyard first. Seeing how badly you are injured, you should stay home and rest for the time being. The old lady will take care of things in the manor."

With her back to Qin Shaoze, she mouthed provocatively to Liu Manman, "If you're completely useless, then don't come out and embarrass yourself!"

Liu Manman was so enraged by Yao Sujuan that she cursed loudly, "You bitch! Who do you think you are, daring to speak here? Qin Shaoze, are you blind? Can't you even see this blatant green tea bitch?"

Yao Sujuan seemed startled, took a step back with a wronged expression, her eyes immediately reddening, and looked at Qin Shaoze with tears welling up in her eyes:

"My lord, what have I done wrong again...?"

Qin Shaoze glanced at Liu Manman with extreme disgust, then pulled the pitiful Yao Sujuan into his arms.

"You didn't do anything wrong, ignore her. She's just a useless shrew who only knows how to take her anger out on you."

With that, he turned and left with Yao Sujuan.

Liu Manman trembled all over and screamed at Qin Shaoze from behind, "Qin Shaoze, you heartless and treacherous dog! You dare to leave? Try it! If you leave now, we're done!"

Qin Shaoze didn't even turn his head.

He didn't want to see Liu Manman again and wished he could cut ties with her completely!

If it weren't for the fact that his marriage to Liu Manman was arranged by the emperor, he would have divorced her by now!

Liu Manman watched Qin Shaoze and Yao Sujuan walk further and further away, her mouth agape, unable to utter a sound.

All her strength seemed to have been drained away in an instant. She slumped down, all the light in her eyes extinguished. Her eyes were like two empty black holes, filled with nothing but despair and death.

Against her bloodied and mangled face, she looked exceptionally tragic.

Shen Lingjun had watched the show long enough, so he turned and left.

Liu Manman is now utterly defeated, disheveled, and even looks somewhat pitiful.

When Liu Manman and Qin Shaoze were deeply in love, she probably never imagined that this day would come.

But Shen Lingjun showed her no sympathy whatsoever.

Liu Manman switched Shen Lingjun's biological children with her illegitimate child, and from that moment on, Shen Lingjun showed her no mercy.

This is the price she has to pay.

......

Early the next morning.

Shen Lingjun was having breakfast and was planning to go to the Shen residence after finishing when Qin Chuyao arrived.

He looked conflicted, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. This expression on the face of a four-year-old child seemed particularly incongruous, yet also quite adorable.

Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "What's wrong? Do you want to go see Grandpa and Uncle with Mom again?"

After Shen Wei and Shen Jingyang returned, Shen Lingjun led the two children to meet them.

Qin Chuyao shook his head: "Mother, I have something I want to tell you."

Shen Lingjun sensed that he had something important to say, so she put down the silver spoon in her hand and said seriously, "Go ahead."

Qin Chuyao's face was slightly pale as he said, "I had another dream. I dreamt that this autumn, there was a war on the border, a very fierce war, and many, many people died..."

Shen Lingjun's expression immediately changed, and his gaze darkened.

Is this another of Yao'er's precognitive dreams?

For the past ten years or so, the Northern Yi and the Western Qi have been fighting on and off. However, the Northern Yi has won more battles than it has lost. Last year, when Shen Wei was still alive, the Shen family army won a series of great victories, which weakened the Western Qi. As a result, the Western Qi has not dared to launch any major offensives in the past year, but it is still restless and will still harass the border from time to time.

Is the great war about to begin this autumn?

Shen Lingjun said to Qin Chuyao, "Yao'er, what did you dream about? Tell your mother the details."

Qin Chuyao stammered and said a lot. Shen Lingjun could tell that the scale of this war was not large, but the problem was that Bei Yi lost in the end.

The Western Qi had suffered a series of defeats and should have been weaker than the Northern Yi, but they still won this battle in a bizarre way.

Qin Chuyao was obviously unaware of the reasons, but according to him, after this battle, the situation between Bei Yi and Xi Qi was reversed, and the side with the upper hand changed from Bei Yi to Xi Qi.

The situation in Bei Yi has also become dire. The war, coupled with the poor harvest this autumn, has made life extremely difficult for the people, and the army is lacking in food and supplies, greatly reducing its strength.

If things continue like this, the future of Beiyi is worrying.

After listening, Shen Lingjun pondered for a long time.

Yao'er's precognitive abilities have been verified, and she believes in the accuracy of what Yao'er said.

However, others may not believe it.

As a lady of a noble family, what could she do for this war?

Unlike the last plague, she could stockpile medicine in advance and save the people of Kyoto with just a prescription.

War is not something she can easily intervene in.

Shen Lingjun took a deep breath and said to Qin Chuyao, "Yao'er, you did very well. If you have this kind of dream again, you must tell your mother immediately."

Qin Chuyao nodded.

Shen Lingjun didn't even have the appetite for breakfast before heading to the Shen residence.

She needs to wake her father up as soon as possible!

Shen Wei is the marshal of the Shen family army and the war god of Bei Yi. If he were here, this war would not have been lost.

But before that, he needs to wake up, tell the truth, and seek justice for himself, for Shen Jingyang, and for the 30,000 Shen family soldiers who died tragically.

Only in this way can he be reinstated and once again shoulder the responsibility of leading the Northern Yi army!
