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

Chapter 169

Liu Manman suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"You...you're pregnant?"

Yao Sujuan smiled happily and sweetly, stroking her belly.

"Yes, I'm over a month pregnant. I just found out today. The Marquis was so happy and sent me so many things..."

Liu Manman's vision went black for a moment, and the world spun around her.

She felt as if her already riddled heart had been stabbed again!

Yao Sujuan is pregnant with Qin Shaoze's child!

How could they have children!

A metallic taste rose in her throat, and she spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground!

......

In early summer, a sudden rainstorm fell in the evening, coming quickly and suddenly.

Shen Lingjun returned from the Shen residence in the rain. Just as she put away her oil-paper umbrella, she saw Pinkie waiting for her in the Rainy Courtyard.

"Madam, you're finally back."

Shen Lingjun asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Pink Butterfly said with a slightly complicated expression, "Madam Liu... she's probably dying. She hopes you can come and see her."

Shen Lingjun was surprised: "She's dying? Is it that serious?"

She felt that Liu Manman's injury should not be life-threatening, and Liu Manman should still have some medicine on hand, so healing herself should not be a problem, right?

Pink Butterfly said, "Her injuries weren't serious, but the Marquis broke her heart. Her spirits were low, and her health completely collapsed."

She paused, then added, "Moreover, it was just discovered today that Aunt Yao is pregnant, which is another big blow to Madam Liu. They say there is no greater sorrow than a broken heart, and she probably has no will to live anymore."

Shen Lingjun shook his head.

Just for that bastard Qin Shaoze?

How blind must one be to be so deeply in love with Qin Shaoze?

Didn't Liu Manman claim to be independent and self-reliant, unlike those women who depend on men?

Why would you put yourself in such a state that you can't even survive?

Pink Butterfly said, "If Madam does not wish to see her, this servant will simply refuse the invitation from Weixia Courtyard."

Shen Lingjun said, "It's alright. If it really is the last time I see her, I won't mind going to see her."

Shen Lingjun arrived at Weixia Courtyard, which was brightly lit, but there were only a few servants inside. They were not nervous at all, chatting and laughing as usual, which was not the atmosphere one would expect from a noble lady whose life was hanging by a thread.

Bai Zhi was carrying a basin of water out of there. She was the only one who looked sad, with red eyes, as if she was trying hard to hold back her tears.

Upon seeing Shen Lingjun, she choked up and said, "It's rare that Madam Shen is actually willing to see Madam Liu... Madam Liu... I'm afraid she won't make it through the night..."

Shen Lingjun glanced around: "Where is the Marquis? Didn't he come?"

Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and said, "The Marquis came here earlier, but then that wretched woman, Consort Yao, said she had a miscarriage, so the Marquis went to stay with her. No matter how I asked him, he ignored me... Please, Madam Shen, don't mention the Marquis in front of Madam Liu. The person she hates the most right now is the Marquis!"

Shen Lingjun didn't know what to say.

No matter what, Liu Manman was Qin Shaoze's concubine, and the two at least had the status of husband and wife, and had even been in love.

At Liu Manman's deathbed, even her enemy was willing to come and see her off. Qin Shaoze, however, was only concerned with accompanying his pregnant concubine, leaving Liu Manman alone to die.

How cold-hearted is this?
