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

Chapter 403

Shen Jingyang said angrily, "The fact that Old Madam Yin didn't dare let you take Lingxia's pulse means there must be something wrong! Maybe it's Yin Bohong who can't have children, not Lingxia!"

Shen Lingjun nodded: "That's possible."

She had heard of similar cases where the man was clearly infertile, but the woman was accused of being unable to conceive, and all the blame was placed on her, leaving her to bear all the blame and unable to hold her head high in her husband's family.

Shen Lingjun pondered for a moment and said, "Moreover, the Yin family seems to really dislike our Shen family associating with Second Sister, which further suggests that there's something fishy going on."

The Shen family is currently at its peak. Although the Yin family is a family of civil officials, having such a powerful in-law family can only bring benefits and no harm. Why then is the Yin family so resistant and hostile towards the Shen family?

The most likely explanation is that they fear the Shen family will mend their relationship with Shen Lingxia and then come to her aid.

Shen Lingxia was a lone woman with no powerful family backing her up; she was easy to bully, and they could do whatever they wanted to her.

Shen Lingjun looked at Shen Wei and Madam Wen: "Father, Mother, what do you think?"

Wen, with a stern face, snorted heavily through her nostrils.

"What do you think? Ha, what do you mean, what do you mean? Didn't she insist on marrying into the Yin family back then? Didn't she insist that Yin Bohong was incredibly talented, unparalleled in the world, and unmatched in heaven and earth? She even said she would never regret it and told us to leave her alone, to pretend the Shen family never had a daughter like her. What does it matter to us how she's doing now? I only have two children, Jingyang and Lingjun. I can't meddle in other people's business!"

Shen Lingjun: "..."

That was quite a burst of output!

Shen Lingjun then sighed, feigning helplessness.

"Alright, since our family doesn't acknowledge Second Sister anymore, it's pointless for me to get involved. From now on, I'll just pretend I don't have this sister and let her go to the Yin family on her own."

Ms. Wen immediately panicked: "No..."

Shen Lingjun laughed: "Alright, alright, I know what Mother is thinking. Father and Mother have fallen out with Second Sister and can't bring themselves to do it now, but I haven't broken ties with Second Sister, so I'll handle this matter."

Wen snorted again, turned her gaze away, and muttered something.

"You didn't fall out with her because you weren't there back then. If you were, she would have driven you to your death."

Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. But who hasn't been confused when they were young? So many teenagers are as stubborn as mules. So many years have passed, I believe Second Sister has long realized her mistake, and probably regrets it to the core."

Wen said irritably, "It's too late for her to regret it! Back then, she was willing to sever ties with her own family to marry into the family. If she had the guts, she would have lived a glamorous life and slapped all of us in the face! Now that she's been bullied by her husband's family, she knows she was wrong and finally remembers her own family. But my family doesn't even want to bother with her!"

Shen Lingjun: "Okay, okay, alright, alright, let's give her a good scolding later, let's get our revenge and give her a good dressing down!"

Shen Lingjun knew that the anger that Wen Shi had been holding in for over eight years wouldn't dissipate easily. However, as long as her parents still cared about Shen Lingxia, that was enough; their relationship could be repaired later.

The more important thing now is to prevent Shen Lingxia from continuing to live like this in the Yin family.

The way the Yin family treats her is clearly abnormal. Shen Lingxia already seems very depressed; if this continues, even a perfectly healthy person would be driven to a breakdown.

Shen Lingjun planned to find an opportunity when no one else was around to have a proper talk with Shen Lingxia in order to find out what was going on with her situation.
