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

Chapter 455

The other members of the Yin family who had come along all changed color upon hearing this.

The Yin family had several civil officials, none of whom were of high rank, but they were the ones who supported the entire family.

If they were all to lose their official positions because Yin Bohong took the daughter of a disgraced official as a concubine, then they would truly be the greatest victims of injustice!

Master Yin immediately said sternly, "Yin Bohong, don't act rashly! Compared to your reputation, what is more important: the future of the entire Yin family?"

Master Yin was a rigid man, and it wasn't that he didn't care about the Yin family's reputation, but compared to losing his official position, the fact that the Yin family had a divorced woman was nothing.

The Yin family doesn't have a deep foundation in Kyoto. If they are implicated and fall from grace, the family might not even exist within one or two generations. What face would they have left?

After Mr. Yin finished speaking, he turned to Shen Wei and Madam Wen.

“In-laws… no, Marshal Shen, Madam Wen, as the head of the Yin family, I am willing to make the decision here and here to allow my unworthy son Bo Hong to divorce your daughter. I hope you will keep your promise and not report that lowly concubine.”

Yin Bohong and his wife, standing nearby, looked extremely disgusted, as if they had swallowed flies, but neither dared to say anything more.

Shen Wei nodded and said, "Our Shen family has always been a family of its word. As long as we have the divorce papers, we will naturally keep our word."

Master Yin glared fiercely at Yin Bohong.

"You unfilial son, hurry up and get paper and pen to write a divorce agreement!"

If it weren't for this good-for-nothing son, who was bewitched and insisted on spoiling the daughter of a disgraced official like the apple of his eye, the Yin family wouldn't be in such a predicament now!

Being held hostage and threatened, and then, for the first time ever, a divorced woman appeared, utterly disgracing the Yin family ancestors!

Yin Bohong's face turned ashen, but he still dared not disobey. He took out paper and pen and hastily wrote two divorce papers.

Shen Lingxia took them and looked them over. The two of them signed and pressed their fingerprints on both divorce papers.

Shen Lingxia took her copy of the divorce papers.

This thin piece of paper seemed to carry a tremendous weight in her hands.

Because it means that from now on, she will sever all ties with the disgusting Yin family and the despicable Yin Bohong, and have no further connection with them.

From this moment on, she faced a brand new life ahead.

A myriad of emotions welled up in Shen Lingxia's heart, and she was overwhelmed with feelings, her eyes welling up with tears.

Over the past eight years, she has let her parents and family down far too much.

From now on, she will definitely make it up to him!

Shen Lingjun was equally happy to see Shen Lingxia looking as if she had been reborn.

She herself had a similar experience, and now that she sees Shen Lingxia has finally escaped this suffocating marriage, she feels very gratified.

Shen Lingjun took Shen Lingxia's hand: "Second sister, let's go, let's pack your things together?"

Then she turned to the Yin family and asked, "My second sister is divorced, and she has the right to take all of her dowry that she brought with her to the Yin family. But she has contributed a lot to the Yin family. If you can't repay everything in her dowry, the shortfall will be converted into cash. Is that alright?"

Although Shen Lingxia married into the family against her will, and the Shen family was furious with her, they did not prepare any additional dowry for her, but they also did not deduct anything from her.

She brought all her own belongings with her as her dowry, which was worth more than 10,000 taels of silver.

However, after arriving at the Yin family, in order to please Yin Bohong and the elderly couple, she gave away almost all of her valuables.
