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

Chapter 220

It wasn't until late at night that the two arrived in Xiaoping Town.

This is a fairly large town. Because many travelers and caravans traveling to and from the Northwest would stay in the town, it has developed quite well, with several inns.

Mo Zhonggui's men had booked the entire inn in advance and gave Shen Lingjun a room on the second floor.

When Shen Lingjun moved in, she saw from the window of her room that Qin Shaoze and his personal guards had just arrived on the street below, looking disheveled, tired, and anxious.

However, Yao Sujuan and her maid were not seen.

“I had someone break up that woman surnamed Yao with the Marquis of Yongning.”

Mo Zhonggui's voice suddenly rang out from behind, startling Shen Lingjun. She turned around and saw that Mo Zhonggui had entered her room at some point.

Her eyes twitched, and she wanted to ask if he could stop barging into her room, but she swallowed the words back.

This lady can come and go freely in the palace without even saying hello, so what's so special about her room?

Shen Lingjun had no choice but to ask, "Why did you want to break up Qin Shaoze and Madam Yao?"

Mo Zhonggui: "Naturally, it's for your reputation."

Shen Lingjun immediately understood.

Mo Zhonggui took her away instead of going to the Northwest with Qin Shaoze. As a married woman, she would be left alone in the outside world, and people would use that against her reputation.

If Yao Sujuan were also separated from her husband, since Yao Sujuan was a married woman wandering alone, it would damage her reputation. Therefore, both Yao Sujuan and Qin Shaoze would keep quiet about this matter and dare not say a word about Shen Lingjun.

Shen Lingjun was once again left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

To say that Mo Zhonggui is absurd is an understatement; he really does whatever he wants. But at the same time, he is quite considerate of her, which makes it hard to know what to say about him.

Shen Lingjun chuckled dryly, "Thank you for considering my situation so much, Chief Supervisor Mo."

As she spoke, she glanced once more at Qin Shaoze on the street below.

I originally thought that Qin Shaoze and Yao Sujuan had gotten separated, and that he would at most rest in the town before continuing to look for Yao Sujuan overnight.

As a result, Qin Shaoze, looking utterly exhausted and unable to walk any further, led his few personal guards into another inn across the street and didn't come out again, clearly having checked in.

Shen Lingjun shook his head as he watched.

It's one thing if they don't look for her, given her current strained relationship with Qin Shaoze. But Yao Sujuan, a vulnerable woman with no means of self-defense, pregnant with Qin Shaoze's child, is now stranded in the middle of nowhere in the dead of night, her whereabouts unknown. And he, as her husband, is simply staying at an inn to rest?

What exactly does Yao Sujuan want from this kind of man?

Shen Lingjun closed the window, too lazy to look anymore.

It was already very late, and Shen Lingjun was a little tired. She wanted to wash up and go to bed, but Mo Zhonggui was still in her room.

She didn't dare to tell Mo Chonggui to leave, so she could only wait for him to leave on his own.

As a result, they stood there waiting for a long time, staring at each other for ages, the air seemed to freeze, Mo Zhonggui remained motionless, showing no intention of leaving at all.

Shen Lingjun: "..."

He wouldn't want to share a room with her, would he?

How far does this have to go?

Shen Lingjun could only force a smile: "Does Chief Eunuch Mo prefer this room? Then I'll give it to Chief Eunuch Mo and I'll change rooms."

Mo Zhonggui looked at her and said, "There's no other option. The inn doesn't have enough rooms, so you'll have to stay here too."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

There's no way I'd believe you in such a big inn!
