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

Chapter 364

At this moment, Marquis Changguo was listening to his subordinates report news, but because Wei Yunluo had been on a mission recently, everyone in the Marquis's mansion took her a little seriously. Seeing that she looked like she was in a critical situation, they let her in.

"My lord! I've got my daughter-in-law!"

Wei Yunluo took out the blueprints and letters from her person and presented them to Marquis Changguo.

"My lord, today Young Master Shen allowed his daughter-in-law to enter the Shen residence. This was obtained from a hidden compartment in Marshal Shen's study. His daughter-in-law doesn't know much about these things, but this map should be a border defense map, along with some correspondence between Marshal Shen and the soldiers guarding the northwest border. Please take a look, my lord."

After so many days of fruitless efforts, Marquis Changguo had given up hope on Wei Yunluo, but unexpectedly, she actually succeeded.

When Marquis Changguo took a look, the map was indeed a border defense map, which showed the troop deployment of the Shen family army. The letter contained some military details and arrangements. Although the information was fragmented, it was still very valuable.

Marquis Changguo was overjoyed: "Excellent! Wei, you have indeed lived up to my expectations!"

If these secrets are handed over to Xiqi, Xiqi will certainly be very satisfied, and the batch of weapons that were promised to the Chu family will most likely be secured.

Wei Yunluo was both happy and nervous, and cautiously asked, "My lord, what about what you promised your daughter-in-law before...?"

Marquis Changguo's smile faltered for a moment as he looked up at Wei Yunluo.

Although Wei Yunluo obtained the military secrets of the Shen family army, she took these documents directly from the Shen residence. This meant that if the Shen family discovered the theft of the secrets, they would most likely suspect Wei Yunluo.

Then Wei Yunluo would not be able to be used a second time.

She's just a disposable pawn; once used, she has to be discarded.

Marquis Changguo continued to smile and said gently, "Of course I will keep my promise to you. Go back and wait. I will talk to my wife and give you the divorce papers."

Wei Yunluo felt a great weight lifted from her heart and left with a joyful expression.

She had already secretly spoken with her family. Her parents still loved their only daughter to some extent and knew what kind of treatment she received in the Marquis of Changguo's mansion. Although she was the wife of the heir apparent, she couldn't bring any benefits to the Wei family. Chu Tianming had been exiled for life, so there was no future for her if she stayed in the Marquis of Changguo's mansion. It would be better for her to get a divorce and return home.

So on her way back to her own courtyard, Wei Yunluo was overjoyed, thinking that after the divorce she could finally leave the terrible quagmire of the Marquis of Changguo's mansion and embrace her new future.

She still fantasized about what kind of man she would marry. She didn't ask for great wealth or status; she only hoped her husband and in-laws would treat her well, giving her a stable and peaceful later life—that would be enough for her...

When Wei Yunluo reached the lakeside halfway there, someone suddenly covered her mouth from behind!

She was immediately grabbed and forced into the lake next to her!

Before Wei Yunluo could even utter a scream, she struggled desperately, kicking and splashing in the lake, but the two strong servants holding her still pressed her head firmly to the bottom of the lake, which was full of mud and weeds.

After a while, Wei Yunluo's struggles gradually weakened, and finally she became completely still.

The two servants waited a little longer, and when they saw that she was indeed not moving, they let go and pushed Wei Yunluo's body forward.

She floated face down, half-submerged and half-afloat in the cold lake water, drifting quietly towards the surface.
