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

Chapter 426

Shen Lingjun turned to look at Shen Lingxia beside him.

Shen Lingxia stared in disbelief at the scene below, her face deathly pale and bloodless, her whole body trembling slightly.

She felt dizzy and her vision blurred.

No wonder Yin Bohong has never touched her all these years, nor is he willing to take concubines or maids. It's not that he's incapable or doesn't like women; on the contrary, he has a woman he truly loves outside the marriage!

He's keeping her chastity pure!

What a devoted and unwavering lover!

The boy looked to be about ten years old, and he had only been married for less than nine years. In other words, when Shen Lingxia married him, he had already been living with this mistress and they had even had a child!

He married her only to have a legal wife to cover up his true intentions, using her as a shield to make her bear the responsibility for not being able to have children.

Then they would force her to adopt her mistress's child so that he would become the legitimate heir.

He insisted that his mistress marry into the Yin family openly and legitimately, becoming his only wife. But what about his first wife? Would he just use her and then discard her like trash?

He was devoted, loyal, and deeply in love with his mistress—it was a love so profound it moved heaven and earth. But why should he make her sacrifice her entire life for it?

What was wrong with her eyes back then to fall for a man like that?

Shen Lingjun watched from the side as Shen Lingxia's eyes turned red, her teeth clenched, and he sighed silently.

She had also been deceived and schemed against by her husband's family, so she could completely understand Shen Lingxia's feelings now.

It wasn't until the two people in the courtyard had gone inside that Shen Lingxia finally climbed down from the wall.

She felt as if all her strength had been drained away; her body was weak and she was completely disoriented.

Every step I took felt like walking on cotton, completely empty.

Shen Lingjun asked her cautiously, "Second sister, it's getting late, are you going back to the Yin family first?"

Shen Lingjun remembered that she fell seriously ill after discovering that the Qin family had deceived her.

Shen Lingxia had also suffered a great blow. Seeing her in such a dazed state, Shen Lingjun was very worried about letting her go back like this.

Shen Lingxia's eyes immediately reddened even more.

She gritted her teeth and said, "No... I don't want to go back to the Yin family... I want to go back to our own home!"

The Shen family is her true home!

She was blinded by greed back then, which is why she hurt her loved ones the most, and stubbornly abandoned them to jump into the fire pit of the Yin family!

Shen Lingjun was overjoyed and had no reason to refuse: "Let's go! Hongqing, call the carriage over, we're going to the Shen residence!"

Although it was already evening, the Yin family had very strict rules, and there were time restrictions for women to go out; those who did not return home on time would be punished.

But who cares? Shen Lingxia is the daughter of the Shen family, and the Yin family rules are nothing!

Tonight, unless the Yin family has the ability to raze the Shen residence to the ground, Shen Lingxia can stay at the Shen residence as long as she wants!

Shen Lingjun quickly brought Shen Lingxia to the Shen residence.

It was already late, and Shen Wei and Madam Wen were preparing to bathe and rest when a maid came in to report that Madam Shen had arrived with Madam Xia.

Madam Wen didn't quite catch what she said at first: "Who? Which lady?"

Shen Lingxia had been away from the Shen family for too long, and Madam Wen kept saying she didn't acknowledge this second daughter, so the maids were a little unsure how to address her properly.

"That is... Madam Lingxia, Madam Shen's older sister, and the eldest son's second younger sister."

Wen's expression immediately changed.

"What is she doing here! Our Shen family has no such daughter! We don't want to receive guests so late at night. Aren't the Yin family's rules very strict? If they blame us later and say we abducted their daughter-in-law, we can't bear that responsibility!"

Maid: “…”
