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

Chapter 44

Grandma Qin's vision went black and she was about to fall, but Qin Shaoze quickly caught her.

Qin Shaoze helplessly advised, "Mother, let it go. We took her 70,000 taels of dowry back then, so she's definitely at a disadvantage. We're in the wrong no matter what. Anyway, we have Manman now, and she won't mistreat you."

Old Mrs. Qin gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think Liu is any good? She's becoming more and more disrespectful to me, her mother-in-law! What sins has our Marquis's family committed to bring in such a terrible wife!"

She was extremely unwilling to accept it.

Why does she feel increasingly unhappy ever since Qin Shaoze decided to marry Liu Manman?

Shen Lingjun has completely fallen out with them and is no longer the gentle and obedient wife she used to be; Liu Manman is not easy to manipulate either, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to get Liu Manman to give back the money.

Will she still be able to enjoy a life of wealth and luxury in her later years?

After Qin Shaoze left, Old Madam Qin was filled with worry and anxiety when Qin Shuangya came in.

She immediately started pleading with Old Madam Qin, "Grandmother, look, it's getting cold now, and I don't have any new winter clothes. The meager monthly allowance that Madam Liu gives me is simply not enough. Now, when I ask her to go shopping with me, she absolutely refuses to go. I can't even afford a cloak..."

Grandma Qin's dissatisfaction with Liu Manman intensified, but she also grew somewhat impatient with Qin Shuangya, who had recently asked her for money several times.

She frowned and said, "I even sold my ornaments and decorations to exchange for medicine prescriptions. You all know that. Now I'm just like you, I don't have a penny. How can I afford your constant demands?"

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something: "What have you been doing lately? With the reputation of the Yongning Marquis's mansion in such a state, there shouldn't be many people sending you invitations, right? Why do I feel like you're rarely at the mansion?"

Recently, things have been going wrong at the Yongning Marquis's residence, and everyone is very upset, so no one is paying much attention to Qin Shuangya.

Qin Shuangya lowered her head shyly and flusteredly, her face turning red instantly, as if something had been exposed.

But she immediately raised her head, half shy and half proud, and said, "I...I've been getting quite close to Prince Cheng lately..."

Prince Cheng was only twenty-two years old. He was the emperor's youngest cousin and a wealthy and leisurely prince.

This prince was known for his womanizing ways. Despite his young age, he already had a large harem of women, including more than a dozen concubines. He also had numerous affairs outside the palace, with countless beauties among his lovers.

He simply did not marry a principal wife. After all, a principal wife is not someone one can marry casually.

Qin Shuangya blushed even more and whispered, "Prince Cheng said that his position as his principal wife was vacant, just waiting for me..."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Qin was both surprised and delighted: "Really?! My son, you actually have this ability?"

Putting aside Qin Shuangya's personality and talent, her appearance was truly outstanding—beautiful and charming, definitely a top-tier beauty in Kyoto. Compared to girls her age, her figure was much more mature, curvaceous and alluring, the kind of woman a man couldn't take his eyes off at first glance.

Old Mrs. Qin felt that she had raised a beautiful daughter, a rare commodity. Qin Shuangya was fifteen years old and still unmarried. She was very picky, looking down on this and that, and ideally had to marry a high-ranking member of the royal family.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shuangya is so capable that she managed to snag a son-in-law like Prince Cheng!

Grandma Qin was overjoyed: "Our Shuangya is so capable! You must win over Prince Cheng and become his principal wife. Then you'll be a proper princess consort!"

With a princess as her daughter, how could she possibly worry about not having a good life?
