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

Chapter 368

Shen Lingjun noticed the Chu family's insignia on the box and looked at Mo Zhonggui in surprise.

"Master Mo, this is..."

Mo Zhonggui: "It was seized from the Changguo Marquis's residence."

Shen Lingjun was startled: "Isn't this stolen goods?! How did it end up here with me?! I don't want it!"

She knew that the Eastern Depot was in charge of confiscating the Changguo Marquis's mansion. This kind of job of confiscating property was usually an extremely lucrative one, because it allowed them to embezzle a large portion of the wealth.

The Eastern Depot must have embezzled a lot of the family property of those disgraced officials in the past, but Shen Lingjun dared not be like Mo Chonggui and use the wealth of the Marquis of Changguo's mansion to line her own pocket. Besides, she was not short of money now.

Mo Chonggui laughed and said, "Stolen goods are stolen goods, but only by sending them to you can they be saved from being wasted. You'll know once you open them and take a look."

When Shen Lingjun opened the box, he found it filled with all sorts of rare and precious medicinal herbs, and most of them were quite old.

Mo Chonggui said, "The medicinal herb called Cangxingzi that you asked for before was tricked out of the Changguo Marquis's mansion. They are a century-old family and still have a lot of good things hidden away. There might be some medicinal herbs here that you can use."

Shen Lingjun flipped through it.

In terms of rarity, the two boxes of medicinal herbs that Mo Zhonggui gave her a long time ago were actually more valuable, but the Chu family's herbs were superior because of their age, and many of them were no longer available on the market.

Shen Lingjun said gratefully, "It really worked. Thank you, Chief Supervisor Mo."

She then asked Mo Zhonggui, "How's the injury on your shoulder? Let me see."

Because of Marquis Changguo, Mo Chonggui has too many things to do lately, and Shen Lingjun can't ask him to stay home and rest.

Mo Chonggui sat down.

"Although I've been a bit busy lately, I haven't had any surgery as per Dr. Shen's instructions, so the wound should be fine."

Shen Lingjun took off the clothes on his shoulders and checked them. Indeed, the wound had begun to heal and scab over, and it was unlikely to reopen.

"Okay, you should avoid strenuous activity for the next two weeks. I'll change your medication later."

Looking at Mo Chonggui, she sensed he was in a good mood and might be easier to talk to, so she cautiously probed, "..."

Did you encounter another talisman master banquet after that?

Mo Zhonggui pulled her clothes up over her shoulders and said calmly, "No, but I suspect he should still be in Bei Yi."

Shen Lingjun paused for a moment, and just as she was about to ask another question, Ye Huaichi's voice rang out from outside the window.

Although the voice was very low, the tone was extremely urgent.

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

Ye Huaichi didn't dare to barge directly into Shen Lingjun's residence; Mo Zhonggui only allowed officials to set fires while forbidding ordinary people from lighting lamps.

Shen Lingjun quickly opened the window, and Ye Huaichi came in, saying urgently, "News just came from the Ministry of Justice prison: Chu Jinxun has been rescued from prison!"

Mo Zhonggui and Shen Lingjun's expressions both changed.
