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

Chapter 29

Grandma Qin took a deep breath, desperately suppressing her anger, and forced out a distorted smile in an attempt to appease Shen Lingjun.

"Lingjun, calm down. I know how you feel. Of course you can investigate this matter if you want, but you can't do it on the street, can you? Let's go back to the manor first, take Li Ma and the children with us, and talk about it there!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the dozen or so guards and gestured for them to take the man away.

However, at that moment, another group of people arrived.

She was Lady Wen, the widow of the Grand General of the State, and she also brought more than a dozen soldiers with her.

The soldiers of the Shen family were all veterans who had actually been on the battlefield. They were full of the bloody and ruthless aura of battle, and their presence was completely different from that of the soldiers of the Yongning Marquis's mansion.

Shen Lingjun had already secretly communicated with the Wen family. At this time, the Wen family was there to support her and, incidentally, to act alongside her.

With a frosty expression, Madam Wen questioned in a deep voice, "Mother-in-law, I heard that a servant in the Yongning Marquis's mansion revealed that Xuanrui is not actually Jun'er's biological child, but rather Qin Shaoze and Madam Liu's illegitimate child born before their marriage? Is your Yongning Marquis's mansion pulling a switcheroo?"

Grandma Qin's head was throbbing with pain.

Although Wen is now just a widow, her appearance to support Shen Lingjun will inevitably make things more complicated.

Old Madam Qin chuckled dryly, "This is just that wicked servant's side of the story. She's just slandering the reputation of my Yongning Marquis's Mansion... You see, Lingjun said she wanted to investigate, and I agreed to let her investigate. Now, she's just about to return to the Marquis's Mansion."

Ms. Wen said calmly, "Of course this matter needs to be investigated thoroughly. These are my daughter, my grandson and granddaughter. I have no reason to ignore them. I will also help Jun'er investigate."

She raised her voice slightly as she said this.

"When you were seriously ill, Jun'er voluntarily emptied her dowry to give you 70,000 taels of silver in order to buy you medicine. Her filial piety towards you is evident to heaven and earth. You shouldn't be such a heartless person. If it is found out that the child swap did indeed happen, I believe you will definitely give Jun'er justice!"

These words caused another uproar among the crowd.

Lady Yongning, in order to pay for her mother-in-law's medical treatment, actually emptied her dowry of 70,000 taels of silver!

What a touching story about Bei Yi's wonderful wife!

A dowry is a married woman's private property, and it is also a woman's confidence and support in her husband's family. If a woman voluntarily gives up all of her dowry for her mother-in-law, it is more than just filial piety; it is an act of giving her heart and soul!

"..."

Old Mrs. Qin's face trembled violently, almost falling off.

That old slut!

It's only natural for a daughter-in-law to pay for her medical treatment! Why make such a big fuss about it?

With this said, Shen Lingjun's reputation for virtue and filial piety will surely spread throughout the capital soon, earning praise from everyone.

If she treats such a good daughter-in-law harshly, she will be the one who is talked about and criticized!

The smile that Old Madam Qin forced was more hideous than a ghost's: "Definitely, definitely... Shall we go back to the Marquis's residence to talk? It's not good to keep blocking this place!"

Madam Wen then waved her hand, signaling the Shen family's guards to escort Shen Lingjun, Li Ma, and the others to the Yongning Marquis's residence.

Liu Manman followed behind, panicked and scared. Her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and she was so weak that she could barely walk.

Upon arriving at the Yongning Marquis's residence, Old Madam Qin and the others went in first, while Liu Manman lagged behind. Just as she was about to enter, Qin Shaoze hurriedly returned from outside the city.

As soon as Liu Manman saw him, she burst into tears.

"Shaoze, what do we do... Our reputation is ruined!"
