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

Chapter 448

Yin Bohong knew, of course, and he remembered what he had said back then.

He didn't want it to be like this either. Didn't he want to live outside with Jian Qingshuang forever, enjoying a sweet and loving life as a family of three, reciting poems and composing poems about romance every day?

But there's no other way!

He's out of money!

It's all his wife Shen Lingxia's fault. She suddenly changed completely, no longer caring about anything and no longer giving him money!

If Jian Qingshuang doesn't become a concubine in the Yin family, how can his monthly allowance of eighty taels plus salary support her and Hancheng!

Yin Bohong forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you be humiliated in the Yin family. Although you are a concubine, you are the only one in my heart. I won't let Shen Shi be superior to you. Besides, if you don't enter the Yin family, you will be an outsider, and Hancheng will be an illegitimate child with an even less respectable status. If you return to the Yin family, he will still be the eldest son of a concubine, and he will definitely get a share of the family property in the future."

Jian Qingxi cried even harder.

"What family fortune? Do you think I'm after your Yin family's wealth?! How could you become like this!... I don't care about titles or status, I just want freedom! I just want dignity!"

Yin Bohong: "......"

He tried to persuade Jian Qingshuang for a long time, but she kept crying, which finally made him lose all patience.

"Do as you please! If you don't want to go to the Yin family, then you can stay here by yourself!"

Let's see how long she can stay!

Yin Bohong ignored Jian Qingshuang and turned to leave.

However, they did have servants bring Yin Hancheng back to the Yin family first.

That's his biological son. It's only right and proper for him to let Yin Hancheng acknowledge his ancestors and return to the family. He doesn't need Jian Qingshuang's consent!

Jian Qingshuang couldn't believe it at all; she felt like the sky had fallen!

How could everything have turned out like this!

The rent for Ling Shuang Courtyard has arrived, and the family has run out of food. They can't even pay the monthly wages of the servants.

In fact, Ling Shuang Courtyard has many very valuable items; pawning just a few would be enough to get through the current crisis.

Jian Qingshuang wasn't unaware of this, but she simply didn't have that concept. In her eyes, the things she bought were hers, and living by selling or pawning things was an unimaginable way of life. She simply couldn't accept that she would one day fall to such a state.

She didn't think of any other way, and spent her days in Ling Shuang Courtyard weeping, feeling sorry for herself and blaming Yin Bohong, that heartless man. But she couldn't believe that he would really abandon her like this, and thought that he would definitely compromise with her.

As a result, it dragged on for several days, and the servants couldn't take it anymore.

Instead of selling all the valuables in the yard, they're delaying paying each of them their monthly wages, leaving them without money for groceries. If this continues, they might all starve to death.

Jian Qingshuang's identity was already questionable, and those who followed her were always at risk of being implicated, so their loyalty was already limited. Now they had to suffer hunger and hardship.

Following such an incompetent master will only lead to bad outcomes; it's better to run away now and try to secure a better future for yourself.

So, the servants got together and, overnight, found their indentures and ran off with all the small, light, and valuable items in Ling Shuang Courtyard!

When Jian Qingshuang woke up the next day, she found that there was no one in Ling Shuang Courtyard except her. The place was ransacked and countless things were missing, as if it had been swept by bandits!
