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

Chapter 219

Shen Lingjun was initially quite startled, but upon hearing this voice, he was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Ink is heavy with beauty!

What is he doing?!

Shen Lingjun turned around and, sure enough, saw Mo Zhonggui pull down the black veil covering her face, revealing a face that was stunningly beautiful even in the darkness of night.

By this time, the horses had run far from the official road into a completely unfamiliar, desolate wilderness.

Mo Zhonggui reined in his horse, and Shen Lingjun quickly dismounted. Mo Zhonggui also dismounted.

Shen Lingjun didn't know whether to be annoyed or amused: "Chief Eunuch Mo, what are you playing at?"

Mo Zhonggui stared at her: "You're going with Qin Shaoze to join the army?"

Shen Lingjun chuckled: "How could that be? I'm only going with the army to give you an excuse for going to the Northwest."

Mo Zhonggui's gaze sharpened: "Then what are you going to the Northwest for?"

Shen Lingjun used the same excuse she had prepared to deal with the Shen family: "I'm really worried about my father, and given the current situation of the Shen family, I can't stay in the capital peacefully. I still want to do my part. When I was studying medicine, I traveled all over the world, and going to the Northwest was no problem for me."

Mo Zhonggui looked at her, unsure whether he believed her or not. After a long while, he said, "You don't need to go with Qin Shaoze. Come with me."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

He made such a big fuss, pretending to be a highway robber, just to kidnap her and take her with him.

What kind of twisted sense of humor is this?!

But Shen Lingjun didn't dare to say anything to him, so he asked, "Is Chief Eunuch Mo also going to the Northwest?"

Mo Chonggui: "During this period, I have already cleaned up all the people that the Chu family had placed in various parts of Kyoto. The Chu family has suffered heavy losses and should not be able to stir up any trouble in Kyoto for the time being. The border matters are more important, so I'd better go there in person."

Shen Lingjun chuckled dryly, "But... it seems a bit inappropriate for me to travel with Chief Eunuch Mo..."

It's more than just a little inappropriate; it just doesn't look right at all!

Mo Zhonggui gave her no room to object: "Just come with me. I'll have your carriages and that maid who knows martial arts sent to the Northwest as well."

Shen Lingjun's important belongings are all in her personal space; the car only contains some decorative luggage. As for Hong Qing, she can definitely take care of herself.

But that's not the point!

The main point is, how could she, a married woman, travel all the way with Mo Zhonggui, covering such a long distance!

Even though he was a eunuch, and their relationship wasn't exactly unfamiliar, that still wouldn't work!

Mo Zhonggui had already mounted his horse and reached out his hand to Shen Lingjun: "Come on up."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

She continued with a forced laugh: "Well, how could I dare to ride a horse with Chief Eunuch Mo..."

Mo Zhonggui: "I'll have someone give you a horse later, so you can get back to the main road first."

Having said that, Shen Lingjun didn't dare to refuse, so he awkwardly mounted the horse.

Sitting in front of Mo Zhonggui, I felt stiff all over, my back ramrod straight, as if I had needles sticking out of my back.

Of course, no matter how tense she was, she still couldn't avoid touching Mo Zhonggui's body. She could only grit her teeth and try to ignore the strange feeling coming from behind, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, pretending that she didn't know anything.

Under the moonlight, the two men and their horse quickly returned to the official road.

By this time, the official road was deserted. The Yongning Marquis's convoy was nowhere to be seen, and the bandits disguised as Mo Chonggui were also gone.

Mo Zhonggui said, "I will meet up with my men in Xiaoping Village ahead, and then we will go there."

Shen Lingjun had no choice but to continue traveling with him.
