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

Chapter 457

Let's prioritize protecting our country and achieving great things; we can put family matters aside for now.

Shen Lingxia smiled and said, "I really have already made plans. I definitely won't consider remarrying, but I don't want to stay at home either. Back then, I wanted to join the army and become the first female general of Beiyi. Now I can finally pick up that ambition again."

Because of this utterly failed and foolish marriage, she has wasted almost nine precious years of her life.

Although she didn't know if it was too late to pursue her dream from back then, she still wanted to do it.

Shen Wei recalled his second daughter, who was once so spirited and ambitious, and who vowed to make a name for herself on the battlefield. He nodded approvingly.

“Alright, it’s never too late to have that ambition. Whenever you want to set off, I’ll arrange for you to go to the Northwest to join the Shen family army, just like your brother did back then, and start your way up from the bottom of the army.”

As he was talking, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Wait a minute... Of his three children, his youngest daughter is widowed and says she will remain a widow for life; his eldest son broke off his engagement and said he doesn't plan to get married for the time being; and now his second daughter has divorced and says she won't consider remarrying?!

The Shen family is now a family of widows and orphans, a family cursed by heaven!

Everyone's saying they want to stay single, and the Shen family line is going to die out with their generation!

Even though the Shen family has no throne to inherit, this is still unacceptable!

Shen Wei had just praised Shen Lingxia for her ambition, and he couldn't go back on his word immediately, so he could only secretly set his sights on Shen Jingyang and Shen Lingjun.

Although their marriage was also fraught with difficulties, some time has passed, so they should have recovered by now, right?

Don't let one bad experience make you overly cautious and dismiss marriage altogether. It's still worth a try!

As the head of the Shen family, it's not unreasonable for him to only ask that the Shen family bloodline not be cut off here!

Shen Lingjun and Shen Jingyang were unaware that their father was already secretly planning suitable marriage partners in the capital.

After the banquet, Shen Lingjun returned to the Yongning Marquis's residence.

Upon entering her room, I saw that Mo Zhonggui was already inside.

Shen Lingjun gets goosebumps whenever she sees him.

"Chief Inspector Mo is here again..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a small box in front of Mo Zhonggui, which was filled to the brim.

Half of the items were books, and the other half were all sorts of trinkets, including sandalwood carvings, ivory carvings, and jade carvings—all of which were exquisite and valuable.

The carvings are mostly similar, all depicting a small male and female figure intertwined in various poses...

Mo Chonggui smiled and said, "Last time I took a fire-avoidance manual from Madam Shen, so in return, I'm giving her a box of gifts. I hope Madam Shen will like them..."

Shen Lingjun's entire skull exploded!

She rushed over, slammed the small box shut, and stuffed it into Mo Zhonggui's arms, while simultaneously pushing him desperately toward the window.

"I don't want it! Take it away! Take it away! And you get out too!..."

She used so much force that Mo Zhonggui was pushed so hard that she subconsciously took a step back.

In the scuffle, neither of them managed to hold onto the box properly, and it fell onto the carpeted floor. The lid popped open, and the contents scattered all over the floor.

Shen Lingjun also fell into Mo Zhonggui's arms due to excessive force.
