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

Chapter 232

They can escape to Xiqi!

Although leaving home and facing many hardships ahead, at least no one will die! We can always find a way to survive!

Qin Shaoze excitedly turned to Shen Lingjun, about to tell her about his plan, but then his heart skipped a beat as he thought of a problem.

No... There are so many people in the Qin family. If he, Old Madam Qin, Qin Xuanrui, Yao Sujuan, Shen Lingjun, Qin Chuyao, and Qin Jianxi all "die" at once, that would be too outrageous. It would definitely arouse suspicion, making people wonder if he faked his death with his entire family and ran away together.

It would be best to leave some people behind to cover our tracks.

Otherwise, if Bei Yi discovers that he was only faking his death and sends people to chase after him, he definitely won't be able to escape.

Those who remain can bear the emperor's wrath. Once the emperor has dealt with them, the matter should be over, and they can live safely in Western Qi.

So the question is... who should be kept?

Qin Shaoze's gaze fell on Shen Lingjun.

He was very reluctant to make this choice, but he had no choice.

From every perspective, Shen Lingjun and her two children are the best choice.

First, one of his two wives must stay, and some of his three children must also stay. This way, it will be less likely to arouse suspicion.

Shen Lingjun had a terrible relationship with Old Madam Qin, and he was too shrewish and prone to causing trouble. Compared to the gentle and virtuous Yao Sujuan, he was certainly less suitable to accompany him on his escape to Western Qi.

Besides, Shen Lingjun has the Shen family behind her. The Shen family will find a way to protect her, and at least they won't let the emperor execute her and her two children.

Giving up Shen Lingjun and her two children in order to save him, Old Madam Qin, Qin Xuanrui, and Yao Sujuan is already a great deal.

After thinking about this, Qin Shaoze felt that his decision was very reasonable and correct, so he made up his mind.

Still feigning panic, he said to Shen Lingjun, "Lingjun, don't worry, I'll find a way. I'll definitely be able to prove that I haven't colluded with the enemy or betrayed the country!"

He couldn't let Shen Lingjun discover his plan, or it would all be ruined.

After saying that, Qin Shaoze hurriedly left to discuss the matter with Yao Sujuan.

Shen Lingjun watched his retreating figure from behind, her anxiety and worry vanishing, replaced by a slow, cold smile.

Qin Shaoze's reactions were exactly as she had expected.

It seems she has taken another step forward on her path to widowhood!

......

Qin Shaoze found Yao Sujuan in the main courtyard room. Yao Sujuan was still unhappy that Qin Shaoze had sent her away earlier.

Qin Shaoze couldn't comfort her at this moment. He lowered his voice and said urgently, "Sujuan, listen to me, we can't stay in Luzhou any longer. We have to escape to Xiqi!"

This sudden news left Yao Sujuan dumbfounded, completely unable to react for a moment.

"What... Lord Marquis, what happened? Why did you flee to Western Qi?"

Qin Shaoze briefly explained that he was suspected of treason and colluding with the enemy, and then said, "Right now, I have no way to prove my innocence. The only thing I can do is fake my death and escape to have a chance to survive!"

Yao Sujuan was still in shock, and asked blankly, "Then... are we the only ones who have to escape?"

Her first reaction was actually a little bit of anticipation, because that way, it would just be her and Qin Shaoze together.

Qin Shaoze said, "I will send a message to the old lady and Rui Ge'er to fake their deaths and arrange for them to come over. But Ling Jun, Yao Ge'er, and Xi Jie'er will not come with us. You have to be careful not to let it slip in front of Ling Jun."
