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

Chapter 300

How fortunate he is to have such a younger sister!

Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "Brother, take it easy for now. The recovery period will take some time. You need to continue to rest and do rehabilitation so that you will have a greater chance of fully recovering to your original state."

Shen Jingyang nodded: "Don't worry, I'll do whatever Ling Jun says."

Shen Lingjun performed acupuncture on Shen Jingyang and prescribed a medicinal bath to help improve blood circulation.

Shen Jingyang's paralysis hadn't lasted long, and since returning to Kyoto, he had received meticulous care, such as having servants frequently massage his legs. His legs were in good condition, and his muscles hadn't atrophied. Therefore, Shen Lingjun judged that he should be able to get up and walk within a month.

The Shen family's last regret has now been fulfilled.

......

Xiqi, a border town.

In Qin Shaoze's home, a devastating bolt struck.

"Oh no! The lady has disappeared!"

Early in the morning, Qin Xuanrui's wet nurse, Granny Wang, rushed into Qin Shaoze's courtyard in a panic.

"Master! Go quickly! Madam is missing!"

Qin Shaoze hurriedly got out of bed, his clothes disheveled. Qin's old lady's maid, Ruizhu, also turned her head from the quilt next to her, still sleepy.

A little over a month ago, Yao Sujuan gave birth to a daughter.

Qin Shaoze had been holding back for several months during Yao Sujuan's pregnancy. He couldn't hold back any longer and pestered Old Madam Qin until he finally took Ruizhu as his concubine.

Yao Sujuan did not express any opinion on this.

Since she was eight months pregnant, she had completely switched to a "do-nothing" mode, refusing to do any housework and refusing to spend a single penny more on Old Mrs. Qin. No matter how much Old Mrs. Qin scolded her, she pretended not to hear; the house was dirty and messy, and chickens and dogs were running around in chaos, but she pretended not to see it either, as if doing even the slightest bit of work would be a loss for her.

When Qin Shaoze came back and talked to her, she just mumbled "uh-huh" to brush it off and continued to do as she pleased.

In a fit of anger, Qin Shaoze took Ruizhu as his concubine, thinking that this would scare Yao Sujuan away. However, Yao Sujuan completely ignored him and just rested every day, eating and drinking as usual.

After recovering, I gave birth smoothly at nine months, and the delivery process was not too difficult.

She had saved some money in advance and stocked up on a lot of good food and drinks. Although her postpartum period wasn't great, it was still manageable.

After her postpartum period, her body had almost fully recovered.

During this time, Qin Shaoze's relationship with her had deteriorated significantly. He spent every day with Ruizhu and barely visited her during her postpartum period. She didn't care.

To everyone's surprise, not long after she finished her postpartum confinement, Yao Sujuan disappeared!

When Qin Shaoze arrived at Yao Sujuan's room, he found that she had indeed disappeared. All her jewelry and slightly better clothes were also gone!

Qin Shaoze was shocked, and a strong sense of foreboding filled his mind.

Just then, he heard Old Mrs. Qin's painful groans coming from next door.

Qin Shaoze rushed over and was once again terrified!

The room of Old Mrs. Qin was in complete disarray. Old Mrs. Qin was lying by the bed with a large hole in her forehead, and blood was flowing all over her face and body!

A bloodstained stool lay overturned on the ground nearby; clearly, the injury on Old Mrs. Qin's head was caused by this stool.

Qin Shaoze quickly went to help Old Madam Qin up: "Mother!"

Old Mrs. Qin's eyes were blurred with blood and she couldn't open them. She could only hear Qin Shaoze's voice, so she started to wail incoherently.

"My son! It's Yao! That vile woman, Yao! ... She came to my room to steal money! I heard the noise and got up to stop her, but she grabbed a stool and tried to kill me! ... She ran away with everything! You must catch her! Beat that vile woman to death! Throw her in a mass grave!"
