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

Chapter 203

the next day.

Shen Lingjun took the Rhinoceros Dragon Evil-Repelling Pill to the Mo residence.

Sure enough, there were many people coming and going at the main gate of the Mo residence. Most of them were officials of lower rank in the court or nobles of lower status who sent people to give gifts to Mo Chonggui to show their goodwill.

Shen Lingjun certainly didn't dare to go through the main gate. If people saw that Lady Yongning was also giving gifts to Mo Chonggui, it would cause gossip and suspicion, which would be asking for trouble for herself.

She then went to a side gate next to the Mo residence. Anyway, the gatekeepers at the Mo residence all recognized her.

As soon as she entered, she ran into that young master Lin again.

When Young Master Lin saw her, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Madam Shen, are you here to see Chief Eunuch Mo? He is receiving guests in the front yard. If Madam Shen doesn't mind, would you like to wait here for a moment? I'll have someone inform Chief Eunuch Mo."

Shen Lingjun nodded naturally: "Okay, I'm just here to give him a birthday gift, no rush."

She was quite surprised to see that Young Master Lin was still living in the Mo residence.

He's been living in the Mo residence for more than half a year now. Could it be that he's settled down here?

Young Master Lin led Shen Lingjun to a small hall inside and had the servants serve her tea and snacks.

Shen Lingjun was genuinely curious, so he casually asked, as if it were a casual conversation, "I wonder what the relationship is between Young Master Lin and Chief Eunuch Mo? When he asked me to treat your injuries, I never saw him so anxious and concerned."

Young Master Lin smiled and said, "We are... relatives."

Shen Lingjun recalled that she had never heard of Mo Zhonggui having any relatives.

Kyoto is a place where family power is deeply entrenched; even the street vendors and peddlers have several relatives. But Mo Chonggui is truly a lone wolf. This young master Lin is the first to claim to be his relative.

However, he still addressed Mo Chonggui as "Lord Mo".

Shen Lingjun then asked, "Judging from Young Master Lin's accent, he doesn't seem to be from Kyoto?"

She still wanted to know why Mo Zhonggui thought that she was responsible for Young Master Lin's injuries, and what she had done.

Last time, she asked Young Master Lin directly, but he only said that he was injured by an enemy, and he couldn't get any more information from him.

This time, Shen Lingjun asked indirectly, hoping to get more clues so that she could make her own guesses and deductions.

Young Master Lin: "Indeed not, I come from the Northwest."

Shen Lingjun: "So, does Young Master Lin plan to stay in Kyoto for an extended period?"

Young Master Lin seemed somewhat embarrassed by her question, and chuckled awkwardly, "Well, I'm not sure either, it depends on Chief Supervisor Mo..."

"Madam Shen, what are you trying to achieve by asking so many questions?"

A sinister voice sounded from behind. Shen Lingjun turned around and saw that it was Mo Chonggui.

Mo Zhonggui's gaze swept back and forth between Shen Lingjun and Young Master Lin, his expression clearly displeased.

He glared at Young Master Lin: "The Mo family isn't short of gatekeepers. Do you need to be here every time to entertain Madam Shen?"

Young Master Lin shrank back like a mouse before a cat when he saw him: "Master... I... I just felt that Madam Shen saved my life, so..."

Mo Zhonggui said irritably, "I invited her, so I'm the one who saved your life!"

Young Master Lin dared not argue further: "Yes, yes, yes! It's all thanks to you for saving my life!"

Mo Zhonggui looked at Shen Lingjun and took a step closer to her.

"Why are you asking him if he plans to live in Kyoto long-term? What's it to you?"

Shen Lingjun: "..."

She seemed to detect a hint of sourness in Mo Zhonggui's tone.

This feeling seemed very out of place on Mo Zhonggui, but it gave Shen Lingjun a flash of inspiration and made him suddenly understand!

She now knew the relationship between this Young Master Lin and Mo Zhonggui!
