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

Chapter 294

Shen Lingjun was stunned.

In Qin Chuyao's dream, she actually paid the price of her life to obtain the Cangxingzi from the Chu family.

However, she couldn't back down because of this. A dream is a dream, and everything in a dream is yet to happen. Since it hasn't happened yet, there's always the possibility of change.

Moreover, she and the Chu family are now mortal enemies. It would be impossible for her to obtain the Azure Star Seed from the Chu family under any conditions. The Chu family would never give it to her.

Then we have no choice but to resort to unethical means: either stealing, robbing, or cheating.

Anyway, she didn't want to pay any price for the Chu family. The Chu family still owed the Shen family a debt they hadn't even finished paying off.

Shen Lingjun comforted Qin Chuyao, saying, "Don't worry, Yao'er. Now that I know it's dangerous, I'll be extra careful and won't let anything happen to me."

After luring Qin Chuyao away, Shen Lingjun began to ponder.

How is she going to get this Cangxingzi plant from the Chu family?

Theft or robbery is out of the question. Although the Chu family has suffered a severe setback, its vast and profound foundation remains. The Changguo Marquis's mansion alone is unfathomable, and one can only imagine how heavily guarded it is. It is simply not something she can act rashly.

Then the only option is to lie.

Shen Lingjun went to inquire about the situation of the Marquis of Changguo's residence.

The entire Changguo Marquis's mansion is currently in a low mood. The old lady of the Changguo Marquis's mansion has suffered a huge blow and is bedridden. The Chu family is offering a reward for medical treatment.

This is a good opportunity.

Since ancient times, the identity of a divine physician has always been particularly useful. Shen Lingjun remembered that she had previously fabricated the identity of a "ghost lady" to obtain 100,000 taels of silver from Old Madam Qin and take back all of her dowry.

However, while the fools in the Qin family were easy to fool, the Chu family members were not so easily deceived. She could no longer simply fabricate an identity and cover her face as before.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Lingjun went to a secluded little estate on the outskirts of Beijing the next day.

This small village is like a paradise, hidden deep in a densely wooded valley. If you didn't know there was a village here, you would never find it.

Shen Lingjun knew of this place because he traveled all over the world with his master, the Old Man Xingju.

Shen Lingjun entered the valley. There were two children guarding the gate of the manor. She explained her purpose to the children, and they let her in.

The owner of the manor was Lady Jingchen, a renowned master of disguise in the martial arts world.

As long as you can afford the price, you can ask her to help you with disguise.

Shen Lingjun met Madam Jingchen. She was a very beautiful woman, who looked to be about thirty years old, but it was said that no one actually knew her true appearance or age. She never showed her true face, and almost everyone who came here saw her with a different appearance.

Shen Lingjun stated her request: "Madam Jingchen, I want to change my appearance and figure. I will still be a woman, of average appearance, with excellent temperament. Most importantly, I must be unrecognizable to others. This must last for at least one month."

She wasn't sure how long it would take to cure the old lady of the Marquis of Changguo, but a month should be sufficient.

Madam Jingchen carefully examined Shen Lingjun's face and figure, and said, "Alright. Ten thousand taels."

Shen Lingjun immediately and readily took out his money.

Her request was relatively simple; she didn't specify which person she wanted to disguise herself as, so the price was relatively cheap, and the disguise could be done on the spot.

Madam Jingchen used a special clay-like substance to take a mold of Shen Lingjun's face, then took the mold into the inner room and did not come out until more than an hour later.

Holding a thin leather mask, he placed it on Shen Lingjun's face.

After putting on the mask, Shen Lingjun looked in the mirror and saw that she had completely changed her appearance.

Now, her complexion is darker, her face shape has become more square, her eyebrows are thicker, her eyes have changed from double-lidded willow-leaf eyes to single-lidded puffy eyes, her nose bridge is higher, and her lips are much fuller. There are slight fine lines at the corners of her eyes, indicating that she is at least thirty-five years old.

She wouldn't call herself a beauty, but the longer you look at her, the more attractive she becomes. She has a sophisticated look that meets her requirement of having a superior temperament.

Madam Jingchen gave her two bottles of medicine, one large and one small: "When you put on this mask, you need to use the blue bottle of medicine. You've already seen how to use it. When you take it off, you need to use the white bottle of water to slowly wash it off. You can only stick it on and take it off three to four times. Any more than that and it will be ruined. Also, it will start to harden after more than a month and then it will be unusable. You can arrange how to use it yourself during this month."

Then they gave her a bodysuit made of a leather-like material that was very elastic and fit her body perfectly when she wore it.

After putting on more clothes, Shen Lingjun's figure suddenly became much more robust, with broader shoulders and a thicker waist. However, he didn't look unnatural at all, and his body felt normal to the touch through the clothes.

Madam Jingchen then gave her a pair of specially made boots that could increase her height by two inches. Wearing this whole outfit, she was completely unrecognizable as the original Shen Lingjun.

Shen Lingjun was very satisfied. Even if she appeared in front of the Chu family, they shouldn't recognize her.

After thanking Madam Jingchen, she set off back to the city.

To test the effectiveness of the disguise, Shen Lingjun returned to the Yongning Marquis's residence in this disguise, only to be stopped at the gate by the gatekeeper.

The doorman didn't recognize her at all: "Who are you? What brings you here so late?"

Shen Lingjun deliberately used a falsetto voice to say, "If you call out the Bean Maiden from your household, you will naturally recognize me."

The gatekeeper, half-believing and half-doubting, called over Dou Niang, who also didn't recognize Shen Lingjun: "Who are you? I don't know you."

Shen Lingjun laughed and said in her own voice, "I've disguised myself, and it seems to be working quite well."

Even her personal maid, who had been with her for many years, didn't recognize her.

The damselfly was taken aback: "You're the lady?...No wonder you've changed like this! Amazing!"

Shen Lingjun didn't intend for too many people to know that this was her disguised appearance, so she had Dou Niang claim that she was Dou Niang's relative, and that's how she entered the Yongning Marquis's residence.

Next, you can try your luck at the Marquis of Changguo's residence.
