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

Chapter 374

Shen Lingjun didn't expect Mo Zhonggui to actually come. He just sat down at the table so naturally and ate with them, as if he were really a family member, which made her feel very strange and uncomfortable.

But naturally, she dared not say anything.

Fortunately, she didn't need to speak at the banquet. Qin Jianxi hadn't seen Mo Chonggui for a long time and was very happy. She chattered on and on about things in the workshop, talking enthusiastically. Shen Lingjun and Qin Chuyao could hardly get a word in edgewise.

This dinner took a long time. Finally, Qin Jianxi asked Mo Chonggui hopefully:

"Godfather, could you join us for New Year's Eve dinner this year?"

Shen Lingjun looked at Mo Zhonggui, who paused for a moment and then smiled, "It all depends on whether your mother welcomes it or not."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

How could she not welcome her?

Shen Lingjun immediately smiled and said, "Of course you are welcome, very welcome. The gates of the Yongning Marquis's residence are always open to Chief Eunuch Mo. You are honored to come and have a meal whenever you wish."

Mo Chonggui spoke to Qin Jianxi and Qin Chuyao, but his gaze was fixed on Shen Lingjun as he leisurely asked, "What do you think if you were to spend the New Year at my residence in the future?"

"Cough cough cough!..."

Shen Lingjun's expression changed drastically, and he began to cough violently.

How could he ask children such a question!

However, Qin Jianxi and Qin Chuyao were both extremely intelligent, and after only a moment of hesitation, they immediately understood the meaning of Mo Zhonggui's words.

Qin Jianxi stared in disbelief: "Godfather, you... want to marry my mother?"

Shen Lingjun's vision went black!

She had never agreed to it, nor did she want Qin Jianxi and Qin Chuyao to know that Mo Zhonggui had proposed to marry her. She never expected him to say it out loud!

Mo Zhonggui glanced at her calmly.

"Why are you so excited? It was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. Telling them now will give them some time to prepare."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

Qin Jianxi still couldn't believe it: "But...but..."

Qin Chuyao unexpectedly blurted out, "I think it's pretty good."

Shen Lingjun: "...!?"

Mo Zhonggui immediately beamed, reached out and patted Qin Chuyao's little head, praising him generously: "Yao'er is so good!"

Then he raised an eyebrow at Shen Lingjun, with an expression that said, "I knew someone would support me."

“Madam Shen, a husband dies and his son follows him; you see, even your son has agreed.”

Shen Lingjun: "..."

She felt betrayed by her son and deeply hurt, but dared not show it in front of Mo Zhonggui. She could only look at Qin Chuyao pleadingly, hoping that he was just talking nonsense out of ignorance.

"Yao'er, um... why do you think it's pretty good?"

Qin Chuyao's little face was serious as she earnestly said, "I think my godfather is great in every way. If my mother marries him, she will definitely not be bullied in the future."

In his previous life, Mo Zhonggui later became his and Qin Jianxi's godfather. At first, he was puzzled and wary of Mo Zhonggui, but until Shen Lingjun passed away, Mo Zhonggui never intended to harm her and even did a lot for her.

They helped her deal with Qin Shaoze and Liu Shi, obtained the Cangxingzi to cure Qin Jianxi's legs, and searched for various rare medicines to prolong her life...

When Shen Lingjun died, Mo Zhonggui rushed back from Xiqi, but he didn't have time to see her one last time.
