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

Chapter 511

Shen Lingjun said, "I can find you a place to stay, but I can't come up with 200,000 taels of silver right now. I don't have that much cash. I can only give you 10,000 taels first."

Qin Shaoze was dissatisfied: "Didn't Chief Supervisor Mo offer a very generous betrothal gift to the Marquis of Yongning's family? How come he can't afford it?"

Shen Lingjun said with disgust, "Those are all registered. I've already agreed that they will all be taken to the Mo family as part of my dowry. If so much is missing, it will definitely be discovered when the dowry is displayed. How am I supposed to explain the whereabouts of this money to Mo Chonggui then? You don't want him to know that I'm still supporting you outside, do you?"

Qin Shaoze sneered bitterly, "I'm your husband, but now I'm the one who can't be seen in public. You and that Mo Chonggui..."

He originally wanted to curse Shen Lingjun and Mo Zhonggui as an adulterous couple, wondering if they had been having an affair for a long time, but in the end, he was afraid of Mo Zhonggui to the core and dared not say it.

Shen Lingjun said coldly, "If you had even a tiny bit of the demeanor of a husband and father back then, you wouldn't have ended up like this. Saying this is pointless. You and Yao'er and Xi'er have no affection for me whatsoever. This time you poisoned Yao'er, from now on you are my enemy. Just take care of your own life and don't mention the word 'husband' to me again, it's disgusting."

As he spoke, he took out a silver note worth ten thousand taels and tossed it to Qin Shaoze.

"Once I find a house tomorrow, you can get out. I'll give you the prescription; you can go get the medicine yourself."

Qin Shaoze wasn't seriously ill, just physically weak and frail. She prescribed some gentle, nourishing medicine to help him recover as quickly as possible, addressing the effects of the previous treatment.

Qin Shaoze saw that Shen Lingjun's gaze was cold and menacing, and she didn't seem like someone to be trifled with. He felt a chill run down his spine and didn't dare to say anything more. He took the money and left.

Shen Lingjun then personally went to a brokerage firm and bought a decent two-courtyard house near the Yongning Marquis's residence, and also hired several servants for the house.

Then, on my way that evening, I visited the Mo residence.

She couldn't hide Qin Shaoze's situation from Mo Zhonggui, nor did she intend to. She couldn't really let Qin Shaoze control her for the rest of her life. Mo Zhonggui should be able to help her think of some ideas and see if there were any other ways to deal with Qin Shaoze.

However, Mo Chonggui was not at the Mo residence and no one knew where he had gone, so Shen Lingjun had no choice but to return to the Yongning Marquis's residence first.

The next day, Shen Lingjun took Qin Shaoze to that house.

Qin Shaoze was very dissatisfied after reviewing it.

"This is too small, and why are there only a few menial servants?"

Shen Lingjun said impatiently, "You live here all by yourself, how big of a house do you want? Aren't all these people enough to serve you?"

Qin Shaoze didn't think he was going to live alone for the rest of his life. He was still so young, how could he possibly be a lonely bachelor forever?

Although he was tormented to the point of near collapse by Huo Sizhen, his sexual orientation became even more straightforward as a result. It had been so long since he had touched a woman!

Having experienced the successive defections of his wife Yao Sujuan and his maid Ruizhu, he felt deeply hurt by women and vowed never to give his heart to any woman again; they were merely tools to warm his bed.

He doesn't plan to marry again; it's not worth it. He just needs to buy a few beautiful concubines, and whoever can please him will be the one he favors.

They could have a few more children for him, so he'd have someone to take care of him in his old age. His first few children, the daughters of Qin Xuanrui and Yao Sujuan, had already been given away and taken other people's surnames. As for Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi, it would have been better if they hadn't existed at all.

When there are too many people, how will this two-courtyard house accommodate them all?

Qin Shaoze said matter-of-factly, "Of course not. I said I want a big house, at least a five-courtyard one!"

Shen Lingjun ignored him: "Stay or leave, it's up to you! I'll come back in three days to draw your blood and test it on Yao'er. You'd better start taking your medicine quickly and get your body in good shape. If anything happens to Yao'er, the first thing I'll do is kill you!"
