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

Chapter 311

Chu Tianming went to the palace with him yesterday, and has been staying at the Marquis of Changguo's residence all day. He accompanied Chu Tianming the whole time when they went to the palace, and there was nothing unusual about it; needless to say, at the Marquis of Changguo's residence, with so many servants carefully attending to Chu Tianming, how could he have come into contact with anything unclean?

The physician stammered, unsure of what to say.

He really couldn't figure out the specific reason why Chu Tianming's injury worsened. If everything was normal, how could it suddenly lead to such a serious infection?

Seeing the state of the imperial physician, Marquis Changguo knew that his medical skills were not high enough, and he himself was completely confused. In short, he was useless.

He said with extreme impatience, "Get out! You good-for-nothing! You can't do this or that, and you can't even heal a broken bone properly. What use is there in keeping you in the manor? Starting tomorrow, don't let me see you in the Changguo Marquis's manor again!"

The physician, with a mournful face, hurriedly scrambled out of the room.

Marquis Changguo rubbed his temples, headache in his voice, and ordered his servants, "Go and fetch other doctors! They must be highly skilled! We must also invite the imperial physicians from the palace! If they don't want to come, we can always find them by spending more money privately! Go now!"

He was truly anxious and exhausted.

Previously, he had been searching everywhere for doctors and medicine to save the old lady of the Marquis of Changguo. The old lady of the Marquis of Changguo had just recovered, and now it was Chu Tianming's turn!

The Marquis of Changguo's mansion has been having a run of bad luck lately, with one disaster after another, as if it has been cursed!

No, it's not a curse, it's because of those damned members of the Shen family!

......

Marquis Changguo directed all his anger and resentment at the Shen family, but it must be said that he was not entirely wrong.

At the Yongning Marquis's residence, Shen Lingjun had already heard from Hong Qing that the Changguo Marquis's residence was seeking medical help again because Chu Tianming's severed arm had suddenly deteriorated severely.

Shen Lingjun simply smiled after hearing this.

Yesterday, when she pretended to help Chu Tianming up, she took the opportunity to use the poison she had stored in her spatial storage to poison Chu Tianming's severed arm.

This can lead to wound infection, failure to heal, and ultimately even death.

This was a poison she concocted herself in her youth, with ingredients sourced from overseas. Most doctors wouldn't even recognize it.

She just didn't want Chu Tianming to have an easy time. With such a ready opportunity right in front of her, how could she not seize it?

The Marquis of Changguo's mansion is probably in a terrible predicament over Chu Tianming's illness. If anyone could cure Chu Tianming now, they could probably ask for an exorbitant sum and negotiate a substantial deal with the Chu family.

However, Shen Lingjun does not plan to make a public appearance so soon.

Chu Tianming's illness is not serious enough yet. She should wait until he is terminally ill, on the verge of death, and in a critical situation before appearing. That would be the most appropriate time.

Shen Lingjun ate his breakfast slowly and happily, and his appetite even improved.

Since Shen Jingyang recovered his legs and went to war, she suddenly had a lot of free time.

Finally, I can enjoy life properly again.

Just then, the damsel came in, bringing a note.

"Madam, Princess Pingkang has sent an invitation to your autumn appreciation banquet the day after tomorrow."

Princess Pingkang was the emperor's aunt and the late emperor's younger sister. Not only was she of high status, but she was also said to have saved the emperor's life when she was a child. Therefore, she held a very noble position and was someone that even the emperor treated with great respect.

Since being granted the title of Second-Rank Imperial Lady, Shen Lingjun has frequently received invitations to such social events, but she had too many things to do before and could only politely decline most of them.

Now that she has some free time, she should go. Otherwise, she'll seem too aloof, which isn't a good thing in Kyoto's high society.

Two days later, Shen Lingjun went to the residence of the Grand Princess Pingkang.
