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

Chapter 498

The guard immediately obeyed and went to carry out the order.

Shen Lingjun, along with another bodyguard and two maids, managed to get Wen Shi into the carriage and send her back to the Shen residence in the capital.

Upon arriving at the Shen residence, she tried to release Wen Shi, but Wen Shi remained the same as before, standing up and running away, making communication impossible, and heading in the southeast direction.

When Shen Wei and Shen Jingyang learned of Wen Shi's unusual behavior, they rushed over. They were also shocked when they saw Wen Shi's mad appearance.

"What's wrong with her?"

Shen Lingjun shook her head: "I don't know, it's just like I'm possessed, I keep trying desperately to go southeast."

Shen Wei and Shen Jingyang were both stunned: "How...how could this be?"

Shen Lingjun: "Today we went to Yutai Pond to attend the lotus appreciation party hosted by the wife of the Duke of Liguo's heir. Mother suddenly became like this... Father, elder brother, come and help. We can only force Mother to stay here for now."

None of them had a good solution for the time being, so they could only lock Wen in the room.

It turned out that simply locking her up wasn't enough. It seemed that she was willing to do anything to escape, even harming herself, and desperately smashing windows without realizing that she was getting hurt.

Terrified, Shen Lingjun and the others could only quickly tie her back to the bed, binding her so tightly that she couldn't move at all.

Throughout the day, Wen refused to drink a drop of water or eat anything; it seemed that nothing else was on her mind except the idea of ​​going to the southeast.

If you want to feed them, you have to force-feed them.

I don't sleep at night; I stay awake all night.

Shen Wei's hair turned almost white overnight from worry.

"What should we do? How can she stand this? We can force-feed her if she doesn't eat, but if she doesn't sleep, she'll die in two or three days!"

Shen Lingjun was also very anxious.

She tried various methods to make Wen Shi fall into a deep sleep, thinking that even a brief period of unconsciousness would be better than her current state, but Wen Shi just wouldn't fall asleep. Shen Lingjun didn't dare to be too ruthless.

The next morning, the bodyguard that Shen Lingjun had sent to check the situation in the southeast returned.

The guard looked puzzled: "Madam, I have traveled for dozens of miles in the southeast direction, all the way to Lishi County, but I have not found anything unusual. That direction is all mountains and wilderness."

Shen Lingjun rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"Okay...it's alright, you can leave now."

She suddenly remembered something and called out to the guard, "Send a message to Chief Eunuch Mo and ask him to come and take a look."

Mo Chonggui is knowledgeable and experienced; perhaps he knows what's going on with the Wen family.

In the past, she rarely sought Mo Zhonggui's help when she encountered trouble. But now, for some reason, perhaps because she was engaged to him, he was the first person she thought of when she was at her wit's end.

The guard took the order and left. Less than half an hour later, Mo Chonggui arrived at the Shen residence.

Shen Lingjun was surprised to see him: "How did you get here so quickly?"

Mo Zhonggui: "It's rare for you to take the initiative to contact me, especially since my future mother-in-law is in trouble. How could I dare to delay?"

When Shen Lingjun heard him say the words "mother-in-law," she felt a strange sense of unease, as if the two words were completely unrelated, but she didn't have the mind to dwell on it at the moment.

He said anxiously, "Come and see my mother."

She led Mo Chonggui into the Wen family's room and explained the Wen family's situation to him in detail.

Mo Zhonggui glanced at the Wen family, and as he listened to Shen Lingjun's description, his brows furrowed more and more.

"I have a pretty good idea what's wrong with her."
