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

Chapter 214

Qin Shaoze quickly made up a reason in his mind and thought it was very reasonable, as if he had figured out Shen Lingjun's thoughts.

He was deeply moved.

All the unpleasantness he had with Shen Lingjun before was immediately forgotten.

It should be noted that very few high-ranking generals in the capital had wives who were willing to travel thousands of miles to accompany them to the army; at most, they would bring a concubine to serve them.

Shen Lingjun went with him, which made him feel very proud.

Besides, his going to the Northwest battlefield meant he wouldn't be with any women for a long time. He used to have Liu Manman with him, but now that there were no other women, he had no desire to touch those filthy military prostitutes.

If Shen Lingjun goes too, that would be perfect.

Come to think of it, ever since that first time he consummated his marriage with Shen Lingjun, he had never shared a room with her again...

She is his legal wife, how can he treat her so coldly?

When Shen Lingjun met Qin Shaoze's gaze, she could roughly guess what he was thinking. She felt a wave of nausea, both mentally and physically, and almost vomited.

If there were any other better way, she would never have said such a thing to Qin Shaoze!

Yao Sujuan, standing next to her, was completely dumbfounded.

What did Shen Lingjun say?

Is she also going to join Qin Shaoze in the army?

It has to be said that being ordinary and confident makes men lose their minds, while love makes women lose theirs. Yao Sujuan's first reaction was that Shen Lingjun wanted to take Qin Shaoze away from her.

She immediately felt a great sense of crisis!

Now that she's pregnant and can't take care of Qin Shaoze, Shen Lingjun insists on going with him to such a far place. What else could it be but taking advantage of her vulnerability?

By then, Shen Lingjun and Qin Shaoze will have gone through life and death together on the Northwest battlefield, making it particularly easy for them to develop feelings for each other. Meanwhile, she'll be alone in Kyoto, giving birth and raising her child, and might not see Qin Shaoze return for years—what chance will she have then?

Yao Sujuan immediately said, "My lord, I also want to go with you to join the army!"

Qin Shaoze was startled: "Sujuan, why are you going too? You're pregnant!"

With tears welling in her eyes, Yao Sujuan said, "Madam Shen's willingness to accompany the Marquis to the army is like a wake-up call, making me feel utterly ashamed. How can I indulge in pleasure in the capital while the Marquis is fighting on the front lines?"

Qin Shaoze was even more moved: "Sujuan, I know your feelings, but you're pregnant. How can you withstand the long journey from the capital to the Northwest? Besides, the environment and living conditions in the Northwest are not good. You'll definitely suffer a lot if you go there to give birth..."

Yao Sujuan insisted, "It's alright. I'm already three months pregnant. Even if it's a long journey, as long as I walk carefully, I'll be fine. I'm not afraid of hardship; I just want to be with you, my lord, forever... Doesn't my lord want to see our child the moment it's born?"

With a resolute expression, she said, "My lord, it's no use stopping me. Even if you don't take me with you, I will go to the Northwest to find you alone! Unless you abandon me!"

Qin Shaoze quickly replied, "How could I not want you!..."

The two were deeply in love, and their conversation moved heaven and earth for quite some time. Finally, Qin Shaoze was persuaded by Yao Sujuan and agreed to let her go to the Northwest with him.

Yao Sujuan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly glanced at Shen Lingjun.

As long as she's around, Shen Lingjun shouldn't even dream of taking Qin Shaoze away!
