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

Chapter 170

Shen Lingjun walked into the inner room.

Liu Manman sat leaning against the headboard, appearing fully conscious. Her face had an unnatural flush, and her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, as if burning with intense flames. She did not look like a dying person.

But Shen Lingjun was experienced and knew that this was her last burst of energy before death. She was exhausting all her spirit, burning the last of her life, and after burning out, she would be completely extinguished.

When Liu Manman saw Shen Lingjun enter, she gave a slight bitter smile.

"I never expected you would actually be willing to come see me..."

Shen Lingjun said calmly, "You want to see me, is there something you want to discuss?"

Liu Manman gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I have! I know I've wronged you, but I'm about to die now, while Qin Shaoze, who has wronged you just as much, is still perfectly fine! He still has a concubine in his arms, a title and an official position, and his manor is about to have more children... Why is he living such a comfortable life! A scumbag like him should be poor and destitute, die a horrible death, and have no place to be buried!"

Shen Lingjun chuckled lightly.

Is it only on her deathbed that Liu Manman finally realized Qin Shaoze was a scumbag?

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Liu Manman leaned over and grabbed Shen Lingjun's sleeve.

"Mrs. Shen, Qin Shaoze betrayed his promise to you and the Shen family, switched your own children and abandoned them in the countryside. He also tacitly allowed his mother to embezzle your dowry to murder you, and even condoned her killing your son! ... You must not let him go! At the very least, you must make him suffer the same fate as me!"

She paused, took a breath, and continued:

"And that bitch Yao Sujuan, she deceived you before, pretending to be your friend. As soon as I arrived, she turned around and fawned over me, trying to gain my trust again. She used me to get close to Qin Shaoze, and after entering the house, she was determined to kill me. She's a two-faced, treacherous, and vicious little person! ... You absolutely cannot let her live! Otherwise, in order to climb the social ladder, she will definitely poison you one day!"

Shen Lingjun said calmly, "I know, you don't need to tell me."

Of course, she saw it much earlier than Liu Manman: Qin Shaoze was a scumbag, and Yao Sujuan was no better.

Not only are they opportunistic, cunning, and adept at disguise and deception, but they are also inherently cold-blooded and ruthless.

Neither Shen Lingjun nor Liu Manman wronged Yao Sujuan in any way; they both genuinely considered Yao Sujuan a friend.

Yao Sujuan felt that Shen Lingjun was useless, so she threw him aside without hesitation; she was even more ruthless towards Liu Manman, and after entering the house, she fought fiercely with Liu Manman. Now that Liu Manman is seriously ill and even about to pass away, it can be said that half of it is because of Yao Sujuan's anger.

Qin Shaoze and Shen Lingjun will definitely have to deal with him, and Yao Sujuan, a troublemaker, certainly cannot stay in the Yongning Marquis's mansion.

Besides her hatred for Qin Shaoze and Yao Sujuan, Liu Manman's biggest worry was her son, Qin Xuanrui, but she couldn't ask Shen Lingjun to take care of him.

She had harmed Shen Lingjun several times before, and it's already a favor that Shen Lingjun isn't kicking her while she's down; she still has some self-awareness.

Well, as long as Qin Shaoze and Yao Sujuan disappear, Qin Xuanrui should at least be able to survive. Otherwise, with a heartless father and a vicious stepmother, Qin Xuanrui will definitely suffer.

Liu Manman coughed weakly a few times, then pulled a necklace from her neck that was tucked inside her undergarment and handed it to Shen Lingjun.

She was so excited just now that she seemed to be exhausted, and she was having difficulty speaking.

"Here, take this..."

Shen Lingjun took a look and noticed that the pendant on the necklace was very strange; it was a piece of ancient-looking tortoise shell.

Liu Manman said with difficulty, "There's a space inside. All my medicine came from here. Currently, it recognizes me as its master, and only I can enter. But after I die, it will be ownerless. You can try to see if you can bind it to me with your blood..."

She wasn't sure if she could give this space to Shen Lingjun, but she had to give it a try.

Otherwise, in this Yongning Marquis's mansion, after she dies, who knows who will get the tortoise shell necklace? If Qin Shaoze or Yao Sujuan were to obtain the space, she would be so angry that she would come back to life even after she died.
