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

Chapter 505

"..."

Shen Lingjun's mind went blank, and he could only stare blankly at Mo Zhonggui, unable to react in any way.

Mo Zhonggui was not a eunuch at all!

He's a normal man!

Moreover, that size... belongs to a very masculine man!

In other words, he was fully capable of giving her the antidote himself!

Shen Lingjun shuddered, remembering the suicidal things she had just said to Mo Zhonggui, and she was utterly terrified!

Oh my god, how did she know he wasn't actually a eunuch?!

You can't blame her for that!

Shen Lingjun frantically begged for forgiveness, admitting his mistake: "Chief Supervisor Mo, I was wrong! I shouldn't have said that!"

Mo Zhonggui merely chuckled and ripped off her undergarment as well.

Shen Lingjun felt a chill run through her body. She was only wearing a bodice, and her heart nearly stopped in fright.

"No! Mo Chonggui! I know you're a man! A man among men, the most manly man!"

Mo Zhonggui ignored her and picked her up.

Shen Lingjun's heart was about to jump out of her throat. She was so panicked that she even wanted to throw the poison from her spatial storage at him.

But Mo Zhonggui simply carried her to the private room and threw her into a large bathtub inside.

"Wow!"

Mo Zhonggui's actions were anything but polite; he literally threw her into the bathtub, splashing water all over the floor.

Shen Lingjun struggled to stick his head out of the bathtub, soaking wet like a drowned rat, coughing repeatedly from the water.

She huddled in the bathtub, her body completely submerged, only her head sticking out, stealing a glance at Mo Chonggui.

He... isn't planning to give her the antidote himself?

Mo Chonggui glanced at her and said coolly, "This tub just contains water. I don't know what you want to use for your medicinal bath. Write me a prescription and I'll have the servants prepare it."

Shen Lingjun quickly dictated a prescription to him.

After hearing this, Mo Zhonggui put on his clothes and went out.

Shen Lingjun watched his figure disappear outside before letting out a long sigh of relief. She leaned weakly against the wall of the bathtub, still feeling lingering fear.

Thank goodness... thank goodness they didn't actually do anything to her...

The water in the bathtub was cool, not particularly cold even though it was the middle of summer. In any case, it was a very comfortable temperature for Shen Lingjun's current condition.

The heat surging within her was barely suppressed by the cool water.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, another maid came in with the medicinal soup prepared according to her prescription and added it to the bath tub.

Shen Lingjun soaked for another half an hour, until her fingers turned white. Only then did the medicinal properties of the spices she had inhaled gradually dissipate.

The maids brought in another bathtub filled with clean, warm water, and Shen Lingjun took another bath. Her clothes were already prepared for her.

Having emerged unharmed, and now dressed in these soft, comfortable clothes, Shen Lingjun felt inexplicably soothed, and a thought suddenly popped into her head.

Marrying Mo Zhonggui really seems like a pretty good thing...

......

Shen Lingjun changed her clothes and came out. She immediately saw that Mo Zhonggui was also dressed neatly and sitting in the brightly lit hall, reviewing memorials.

Seeing her come out, he looked up and asked, "Has the effects of the medicine worn off?"

Shen Lingjun was extremely embarrassed and awkwardly said, "...It's done."

Mo Zhonggui put down his pen: "Did you get the Soul-Guiding Bell?"

Shen Lingjun had already taken out a large number of Gu-technique tools that she had stolen from that young Gu master from her spatial storage beforehand, and quickly placed them on the table.

“Got it. This bell should be the Soul-Guiding Bell. I also stole the other things. See if your Gu Master has anything he can use.”

Mo Zhonggui didn't ask her where she got so many things from. He just called a servant in and ordered him to invite his old Gu master over.

"Once the person arrives, we'll go to the Shen residence together to remove the curse from Madam Wen. The sooner the better."

Shen Lingjun nodded.

Then she looked at him, hesitating to speak several times.

Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "Um...I really want to know...why weren't you castrated?"

When Mo Chonggui entered the Northern Yi Imperial Palace, he was probably only ten years old and all alone. Given the extremely strict procedures within the palace, how did he manage to avoid being stabbed?

Mo Zhonggui looked up at her, and Shen Lingjun jumped, immediately trying to cover it up: "I was just asking! You don't have to tell me!"

Mo Zhonggui chuckled: "There's nothing I can't say. My master, Deng An, once did a great favor for Wang Sheng'an, the former Grand Eunuch of the Northern Yi Directorate of Ceremonial. I went to the palace with my master's token to find Wang Sheng'an, and he directly arranged for me to be a minor eunuch without me undergoing castration."

Shen Lingjun immediately understood: "No wonder..."

She had initially thought of many complicated and mysterious theories, believing that Mo Chonggui had practiced some kind of legendary martial arts technique called "Shrinking the Penis into the Abdomen," making the palace believe that he was naturally eunuch and therefore did not need to be castrated...

Stop, stop, stop! Is this something she should be thinking about?!

Mo Zhonggui looked at Shen Lingjun with a smile in his eyes: "Aren't you happy to find out that I'm not a eunuch?"

"..."

Shen Lingjun blushed instantly.

How was she supposed to answer that?

Of course, I'm happy for him. No man can accept such a defect; he is whole and complete, which is certainly a good thing.

But that's definitely not what Mo Zhonggui meant!

In other aspects... what is there for her to be happy about? She's not happy at all!

Mo Chonggui stood up: "Now you know why I told you to marry me sooner, so you can dispel the loneliness during the long nights?"

Shen Lingjun: "..."

Mo Chonggui: "Look at the fire-avoidance diagram I gave you often. You can put it into practice after you get married. I never do anything meaningless. Since I gave it to you, it must be useful."

Shen Lingjun: "..."
