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

Chapter 434

Shen Lingxia sneered: "Unwilling to be a concubine, she'd rather be an even lower mistress, committing adultery with a married man. Is that her backbone?"

Yin Bohong was furious: "You're not allowed to talk about her like that!..."

He was halfway through his outburst when he glanced at Shen Jingyang and quickly forced himself to stop.

Yin Bohong felt that continuing this argument would be pointless. With the Shen family present, he couldn't continue to verbally abuse Shen Lingxia as he had before, fearing another beating from Shen Jingyang—that would be too humiliating for him.

So he decisively left this tricky situation to Madam Yin, saying, "Anyway, I won't let Shuang'er come in as a concubine!" and turned away.

Anyway, since Madam Yin is of a high generation and old age, the Shen family would never lay a hand on her. It's best for Madam Yin to handle this situation!

Madam Yin also seemed very troubled.

“Well… Lingxia, actually, we were all against Bohong keeping that mistress, but he was so devoted to that Shuang girl that he even attempted suicide several times for her. He is, after all, our own son, and we can’t just stand by and watch him die… I’m completely helpless now…”

The implication was that she didn't want to get involved; there was nothing she could do if Yin Bohong refused to take that mistress into the family.

Shen Lingxia exchanged a glance with Shen Lingjun and the others, and nodded: "Okay, then let's leave it for now, we'll talk about it later."

The Yin family's reaction was actually within their expectations.

That mistress has questionable status, so the Yin family certainly wouldn't dare let her into the family easily.

But Shen Lingxia wasn't without options.

Just wait and see.

When Madam Yin saw that Shen Lingxia did not persist in pestering her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't pursue the issue of whether Shen Lingxia followed the family rules any further, and hurriedly made an excuse to leave.

At the same time, I had a terrible headache.

With the Shen family backing her, Shen Lingxia is likely to face serious trouble in the future.

The Shen family members came today to help Shen Lingxia establish her authority and prestige, and having achieved their goal, they all went home.

The rest is up to Shen Lingxia herself.

......

The first thing Shen Lingxia did after that was to stop managing all of the Yin family's businesses.

She had just purchased five shops and two estates in Kyoto, investing a large amount of money in the early stages, which almost depleted the Yin family's cash flow.

Just when it seemed like the time to reap the rewards was about to come, she suddenly threw everything down and abandoned it!

And then, all of these things were dumped on Old Madam Yin!

Shen Lingxia even gave herself a perfectly reasonable and justified excuse.

"Mother, I only just realized that Bo Hong didn't touch me once in eight years of marriage because he was so deeply in love with that Miss Shuang. I heard that Miss Shuang is a talented woman who excels at composing poetry, while I only know how to scheme and plot for money. Bo Hong hates my money-grubbing attitude the most..."

Shen Lingxia's eyes reddened as she spoke, her voice filled with deep sorrow.

"Therefore, I've decided to stop caring about these mundane worldly affairs. From today onward, I will dedicate all my time to reading, cultivating my character, and developing my literary skills, so that Bo Hong will at least have some goodwill towards me!"
