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

Chapter 488

But he still endured it all.

As for his son and daughter, under these circumstances, it was naturally impossible for them to be raised by him, so he had no choice but to give them up for adoption.

At that time, Western Qi had just experienced war, and many families had lost children. Qin Xuanrui was a boy, and still young, so it was easy to find a family willing to adopt him.

The birth of Yao Sujuan's baby girl was much more difficult, but Qin Shaoze eventually managed to find a family that wanted a daughter through Huo Sizhen's connections and gave her away.

Qin Shaoze followed Huo Sizhen for over a year.

Huo Sizhen had already married the Crown Princess, and had quite a few women in his harem, but these were just for show; he rarely actually favored them.

It's not that he can't have sex with women and have children, it's just that he prefers men.

The staff, pageboys, and servants kept in his household were all exceptionally handsome men, each with their own unique charm.

Qin Shaoze was just one of them. However, Huo Sizhen probably found it particularly exciting to deal with the Marquis of Beiyi, and he showed him quite a bit of favor, so he hasn't fallen out of favor yet.

This time, when he led the delegation to Bei Yi, he also brought Qin Shaoze along.

Huo Sizhen said lazily, "Do you regret faking your death and escaping to Western Qi back then?"

Qin Shaoze gritted his teeth whenever this was mentioned.

Of course he regretted it; not a day went by that he didn't regret it, he was so regretful he was practically green with envy!

Shen Lingjun tricked him into faking his death and escaping, leaving his hometown, seizing his title, and taking over the entire Yongning Marquis's mansion. He cursed Shen Lingjun every day, wishing him a terrible death!

But when he returned to Beiyi Capital more than a year later, he found that Shen Lingjun was living a very comfortable life. She had been granted the title of Second-Rank Imperial Lady, had the backing of the Shen family which had regained its former glory, and her family business was thriving, making a fortune every day.

Qin Shaoze was furious!

Although he dared not go out from the inn these days, he still heard a lot about what was happening outside.

The most talked-about topic is that the head of the Eastern Depot, the Ninth Prince, is engaged to Lady Shen, the widow of the Marquis of Yongning.

When Qin Shaoze heard this news, he almost fainted from anger!

Shen Lingjun is now going to marry someone else!

He hadn't even finished his three-year mourning period when he was already engaged!

She actually married that infamous eunuch!

Qin Shaoze had known for a long time that Mo Zhonggui coveted Shen Lingjun and even asked Qin Shaoze to send Shen Lingjun to him. Qin Shaoze originally thought that Shen Lingjun would suffer a fate worse than death, but she returned unharmed.

These two may have been having an affair for a long time!

An eunuch and a widow have actually gotten engaged; they're both shameless!

Shen Lingjun, that promiscuous slut! How despicable must she be to willingly submit to a eunuch!

Qin Shaoze gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, you must not give up on the Shen family. I have been related to the Shen family by marriage for several years and I know that the Shen family members value their relatives very much. As long as you have the Shen family in your hands, Shen Wei and Shen Jingyang will definitely not dare to start a war against Western Qi!"

He now hopes that Shen Lingjun will be taken to Xiqi as a hostage, and that he will definitely not have a good ending!
