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

Chapter 427

She asked cautiously, "Then... this servant went to inform them that the master and mistress have already retired for the night?"

Wen: "Wait, I want to see what she's up to!"

Ms. Wen rushed out without even having time to put on her shoes properly.

Shen Wei was also very excited and didn't even bother to say anything to Wen Shi before following her out.

When they arrived at the side hall in the front yard, Shen Lingjun and Shen Lingxia were already waiting there.

After more than eight years apart, Shen Lingxia felt a sudden pang of sadness upon seeing her parents, and a myriad of emotions welled up in her heart.

They've all aged so much...

She had heard about the changes that had befallen the Shen family a couple of years ago. Shen Wei and Shen Jingyang had almost died on the battlefield, and Madam Wen was devastated. The Shen family nearly collapsed as a result.

But at that time she was hundreds of miles away in Qizhou, and the Yin family would never allow her to go to the capital. She herself was too ashamed to return to the Shen family to visit them...

Just how many foolish things has she done?

Wen had prepared a whole host of sarcastic remarks for Shen Lingxia, but before she could utter a word, Shen Lingxia suddenly burst into tears and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Mother! Father! I was wrong!..."

Shen Lingxia held onto Wen's sleeve tightly, like a child who had been separated from home for many years and had finally found her mother.

She burst into tears, crying without any decorum, with tears and snot streaming down her face.

“I shouldn’t have disobeyed you back then, I shouldn’t have married Yin Bohong… You all meant well for me, but I only thought you looked down on the Yin family, argued with you, and even wanted to sever ties with you… I was wrong! I was so wrong!”

Ms. Wen had a stern face and a stiff expression, but her eyes were full of panic and helplessness.

She never expected that her stubborn second daughter, who was as stubborn as a mule back then, would suddenly have a change of heart and turn around to admit her mistakes and repent.

What happened?

If Shen Lingxia hadn't hit a brick wall hard enough, and suffered enough pain and devastation, how could she have suddenly woken up?

Shen Wei, who was standing next to Shen Lingjun, clearly had the same thought and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Shen Jingyang arrived just then. Seeing that everyone was there, Shen Lingjun sighed and told them everything about Yin Bohong.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wei flew into a rage, slamming his hand heavily on the table, instantly shattering a perfectly good mahogany eight-immortal table into four pieces, as if he wished that it were Yin Bohong's skull.

"I knew that kid was no good when I first saw him! He had no official rank, no skills, and no real achievements. Just because he could recite a few pretentious poems, he thought he was some kind of literary genius descended from heaven, with his chin held high! All those years of schooling were for nothing. He didn't learn a thing about propriety, morality, or a sense of shame. He was just a bunch of thieves and prostitutes!"

Madam Wen was also furious. Then Shen Wei scolded, "For the sake of a mistress, he hasn't touched his wife for eight years and even claims that his wife can't bear children. Does he think he's some kind of romantic? Even a dog would find his conscience disgusting!"

Then she finally unleashed her prepared tirade on Shen Lingxia: "Didn't you insist on marrying him back then? Such a self-righteous, shameless scoundrel..."

Shen Lingxia rushed forward and buried her face in Wen's arms, hugging her tightly and bursting into tears.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I was blind back then, I didn't listen to you..."

Wen: "..."

I still couldn't get the chance to yell at them.

Forget it, I won't curse anymore.

Shen Lingjun watched from the side, suppressing a smile from the corner of her mouth.

It seems that there are very few parents in the world who can truly be completely heartless towards their children.

No matter how badly Shen Lingxia had broken up with her family back then, she has now returned and sincerely admitted her mistakes. Shen Wei and Madam Wen still can't let her go and refuse to acknowledge her as their daughter.

Ms. Wen disgustedly pulled Shen Lingxia off her.

"Alright, now you know everything. What are you going to do?"
