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

Chapter 417

She was inwardly anxious, but outwardly she pretended to be nonchalant and asked Ye Huaichi, "Lord Ye, where is Chief Eunuch Mo?"

Ye Huaichi: "The Grand Supervisor has an urgent matter to attend to and must take his leave first. I will escort Madam Shen back."

Shen Lingjun felt as if he had been granted a pardon and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Great! I don't have to see Mo Chonggui!

She really doesn't know how to face him now; just thinking about that scene makes her scalp tingle.

Although we'll definitely have to see each other again in the future... but who cares? That's a matter for the future anyway, so let's avoid it for as long as we can!

Ye Huaichi looked at Shen Lingjun with a puzzled expression.

Why is Madam Shen so happy that the Grand Eunuch has left?

Seeing Ye Huaichi's "clear eyes," Shen Lingjun guessed that he was completely unaware of what had happened between her and Mo Zhonggui, which made her feel even more relaxed.

"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Ye."

"Madam Shen, please don't stand on ceremony. Please get some rest; we'll continue our journey tomorrow morning."

Two days later, under the escort of the Eastern Depot, Shen Lingjun returned to Kyoto.

Her lips had finally gone down in swelling, and although she was injured, she looked fine on the surface.

She heard from Ye Huaichi that he had already sent people to both the Shen residence and the Yongning Marquis's residence to let them know she was safe. However, when she arrived at the Yongning Marquis's residence, she still saw her parents, brothers, two children, and several of her head maids, including Hongqing, all waiting for her at the gate.

"mother!"

Qin Jianxi and Qin Chuyao rushed over excitedly when they saw Shen Lingjun get out of the car.

Shen Wei and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shen Lingjun return safely.

They had learned a few days earlier that Shen Lingjun had been kidnapped, but Mo Zhonggui stepped forward and took on the task of rescuing Shen Lingjun.

The Eastern Depot has a far greater advantage than the Shen family in doing this kind of thing.

Although the Shen family didn't sit idly by and wait for Mo Chonggui to rescue Shen Lingjun, their abilities were indeed far inferior. Before the Shen family could find any trace of Shen Lingjun, the Eastern Depot had already sent someone to tell them that Shen Lingjun had been rescued.

Shen Wei's impression of Mo Zhonggui rose even higher.

Although he was a corrupt eunuch who interfered in politics and had a reputation for being a treacherous and wicked man, he was still quite reliable as an ally—provided, of course, that one did not marry his daughter.

As long as I don't become his son-in-law, everything will be fine.

Shen Wei asked Shen Lingjun, "Where is Chief Eunuch Mo? Didn't he return to the city with you?"

Shen Lingjun's ears burned the moment he heard the words "Chief Eunuch Mo".

She wasn't sure if she had blushed, so she tried her best to remain calm and said casually, "He had something urgent to attend to and left first."

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

Madam Wen held Shen Lingjun's hand and accompanied her into the room, while nagging her, "Now that your identity as Elder Xingju's disciple has been exposed, more and more people will be eyeing you, so you have to be extra careful from now on."

They had heard from Mo Chonggui's people that Shen Lingjun was kidnapped by the "Naihe" assassins, who wanted her to be cured of the poison.

Shen Lingjun replied, "I will be careful."

This time, she was careless. But Fu Shiyan was quite capable; he investigated her and Shen Lingxia's affairs thoroughly and accurately grasped her psychology, sending someone disguised as Hong Qing to tell her that Shen Lingxia was in trouble. She was worried and confused, so she didn't take precautions.

Thinking of Shen Lingxia, Shen Lingjun looked at the red dragonfly.

"Red Dragonfly, did you find anything out about your surveillance work with the Yin family recently?"

Hong Qing said, "This servant noticed that Yin Bohong often goes to a small courtyard near the Yin residence, which is obviously a bit suspicious. I originally wanted to sneak in and take a look, but just then I learned that Madam has gone missing, so this servant went to find Madam first."

Shen Lingjun nodded: "Okay, I'm all done here. You can continue your investigation and report back as soon as you have any results."
