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

Chapter 402

Shen Lingjun listened, secretly sneering to himself.

Madam Yin kept saying that she hadn't mistreated Shen Lingxia, but her clothing was just the most superficial thing and didn't tell the whole story.

If the Yin family truly didn't blame Shen Lingxia, then Old Madam Yin wouldn't have called her "a daughter-in-law who can't have children" in front of Shen Lingxia, and Shen Lingxia wouldn't have acted so guilty and remorseful, so uncomfortable and timid in her own home, as if she owed the Yin family millions.

She must have suffered a lot of criticism and suppression from the Yin family.

While there was no overt mistreatment, the psychological violence was just as egregious.

Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "Oh, since Madam Yin said that my brother-in-law has never had a concubine or maid, that means no other woman has gotten pregnant with his child. As we all know, infertility can be a problem with the woman or the man. It's not certain who has the problem yet, so why is Madam Yin saying that my second sister can't have children?"

Madam Yin immediately and decisively stated, "Because our Bohong is absolutely fine!"

Shen Lingjun asked in surprise, "Why is Madam Yin so sure?"

Madam Yin's face stiffened, as if she had let something slip, and she quickly explained, "This...it's because we consulted a doctor, who said that Bohong is definitely fine, but Lingxia's health isn't very good, making it difficult for her to conceive..."

Shen Lingjun looked at Shen Lingxia, who was still looking down with tears in her eyes and did not deny it.

It seems this is indeed true.

However, the doctor hired by the Yin family could easily lie according to their demands, which would not be convincing.

"Really?" Shen Lingjun took Shen Lingxia's other hand. "I also know some medicine. Let me take a look at my second sister and see how her health is."

Madam Yin's expression changed drastically, and she snatched Shen Lingxia's hand back!

She forced a smile and stammered, "Um... right, look at my memory, I came to find Lingxia because I have something to discuss. Bohong wants her to come over. Lingxia, you should go over there quickly, lest Hongbo gets impatient."

"But...my daughter-in-law here..."

Shen Lingxia was very unwilling, but she didn't dare to refuse directly. She looked at Old Madam Yin and then at Shen Lingjun, seemingly at a loss.

Shen Lingjun raised an eyebrow slightly: "My second sister and I are blood sisters. We haven't seen each other for nine years. I came to visit her, and you wanted to call her away after only a quarter of an hour? Is this how your Yin family treats its guests?"

Madam Yin's tone hardened: "It's not that we deliberately neglected you, but Hongbo really has an urgent matter. We hope Madam Shen will forgive our rudeness. If you two sisters want to catch up, I will take Lingxia to visit the Yongning Marquis's residence next time."

The implication was clear: they didn't want Shen Lingjun to visit the Yin family again.

As for the next visit, whether there will ever be a next visit is unknown.

Shen Lingxia frowned as she listened, but she had no backbone in front of Madam Yin and dared not say a word. After enduring for a long time, she finally walked out under Madam Yin's urging gaze, turning back every few steps.

Then, Madam Yin instructed her maid to serve tea, clearly indicating that she wanted the guests to leave.

After Shen Lingxia left, Shen Lingjun lost interest in chatting idly with Old Madam Yin and got up to say goodbye.

She immediately went to the Shen residence to report the situation.

After hearing this, the three members of the Shen family frowned deeply.
