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

Chapter 37

She and the Shen family have put so much effort into the Yongning Marquis's residence; this place belongs to her!

The only ones who should get lost are those shameless scumbags!

Shen Lingjun chatted with her maternal grandfather and uncle for a while before getting up to take her leave.

She then took the two children on a tour of Kyoto, eating and playing, and returned to the Yongning Marquis's residence as evening approached.

After dinner, as usual, Shen Lingjun invited Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi to her room.

Qin Chuyao's heart condition has been treated with acupuncture and medication. Qin Jianxi's health is better, but having been raised in a rough environment on the estate, she still has some minor scars from bumps and bruises.

Shen Lingjun took it very seriously and wanted to take advantage of her young age to get her well as soon as possible.

The legitimate daughters of noble families are naturally more precious than ordinary daughters, and it is best if they have no scars on their bodies.

May her daughter grow up healthy, happy, and beautiful!

To everyone's surprise, when Shen Lingjun entered the room with her two children as usual, she was astonished to find that there was already someone in the room!

When Shen Lingjun saw the person clearly, she gasped sharply.

It's Mo Chonggui!

Why is he here?

Last time I came to the Yongning Marquis's residence, I entered her courtyard; this time, I actually went straight into her room!

What is he here for?

Shen Lingjun didn't have time to think much and quickly pulled her two children to bow to Mo Zhonggui: "This concubine and her children greet Chief Eunuch Mo!"

Mo Chonggui, dressed in a black robe, sat lazily on her usual rosewood chair, fiddling with something in her hand.

Shen Lingjun mustered up her courage and saw clearly, and her brow twitched violently.

That was one of her red gold passionflower necklaces!

It was in the jewelry box on her dressing table.

The jewelry the woman wore around her neck was slowly caressed by Mo Chonggui, creating an ambiguous and wicked feeling.

When his gaze fell on her, it was as if he was thinking about how to put that collar around her neck.

Shen Lingjun felt as if her throat was being strangled, making it difficult to breathe and her scalp tingling.

"Does the Grand Eunuch Mo have any business or advice for us?"

Mo Zhonggui looked at her leisurely: "Madam Shen has been making quite a stir lately."

Shen Lingjun quickly thought about the relationship between Mo Chonggui and the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. She was going against Qin Shaoze, so she shouldn't have offended Mo Chonggui, right?

Shen Lingjun lowered her head and said, "I am just doing what a mother should do, acknowledging my own children."

Mo Chonggui asked, "Do you want to leave the Yongning Marquis's residence?"

Shen Lingjun suddenly looked up at him.

What does he mean by that?

Mo Zhonggui asked her a similar question last time, and she gave the most conservative and cautious answer then, but that probably won't work this time.

She's already had such a falling out with the Yongning Marquis's mansion. If she were to say that she's an honest, gentle, and virtuous wife and mother, it would be like treating Mo Chonggui like a fool.

Shen Lingjun spoke frankly: "I don't want to leave because I want to reclaim the title of heir of the Marquis of Yongning for my son, which rightfully belongs to him."

Mo Zhonggui's lips curled slightly, and he let out a soft scoff.

His gaze fell on Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"What's so special about the position of the heir of the Marquis of Yongning? Why not let your children recognize me as their godfather? They'll have a brighter future."

Shen Lingjun: "..."
