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

Chapter 516

Shen Lingjun used Mo Zhonggui's blood as a medicinal guide to prepare a new antidote for Qin Chuyao.

This time, after Qin Chuyao took the medicine, he felt much better. His high fever subsided, and the pain in his body disappeared.

He was so young, but he had been tormented by the poison for several days. Finally, he recovered and soon fell asleep, exhausted.

Shen Lingjun took Qin Chuyao's pulse and found that the poison from the Lianxin Powder he had taken had indeed been reduced considerably.

Mo Zhonggui also cautiously entered at this moment.

"How is Yao'er? Is the antidote working?"

Shen Lingjun said calmly, "Yes, but Qin Shaoze said that the Lianxin Powder cannot completely detoxify the poison, and the antidote needs to be taken continuously."

Qin Shaoze might have exaggerated his words to blackmail her. But after taking Qin Chuyao's pulse, she realized that the antidote he had taken had not completely cleared the poison from his body.

Shen Lingjun predicted that the poison would flare up again after a while, and he would probably have to take the antidote again.

Mo Zhonggui said, "Then I will keep giving him fresh blood as a medicinal ingredient until you find a way to completely remove the poison from his body."

Shen Lingjun thought so too. This couldn't go on forever. If Mo Zhonggui wasn't around, or if he got sick or injured, or even if something happened to him, Qin Chuyao would suffer as well.

Qin Chuyao's life cannot be tied to anyone else.

Now that Shen Lingjun has more time, he needs to quickly figure out how to completely neutralize the Lianxin Powder.

She glanced at Mo Zhonggui, then looked away.

At this moment, she was still very confused and just didn't want to see him.

Shen Lingjun said, "You should go back first. I will send someone to find you when Yao'er needs the medicinal ingredient."

The subtext of her words was that if she didn't contact him, he shouldn't show up in front of her anymore.

Mo Zhonggui understood what she meant, but at this moment, he could not offer any objections. He could only respond and leave silently.

Shen Lingjun stayed in the room to take care of Qin Chuyao for a while longer. Seeing that he was sleeping very soundly and didn't seem like he would wake up anytime soon, she called Fen Die to take over watching over Qin Chuyao, and then she left the room herself.

In the outer hall, Qin Shaoze's body had vanished without a trace, along with the bloodstains that had covered the floor. Only a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

Shen Lingjun didn't bother to care where Qin Shaoze's body was; he figured Mo Zhonggui had definitely taken good care of it.

Qin Shaoze was already "dead," and from now on, he truly and completely ceased to exist.

In a daze, Shen Lingjun walked to the garden outside and sat down by the lake.

The thought of her current relationship with Mo Zhonggui gave her a splitting headache.

What will she do now?

......

As expected, Mo Zhonggui did not reappear for more than a month after that.

As Shen Lingjun expected, the antidote Qin Chuyao had taken last time did not last long. The poison gradually took effect again, and he experienced the same symptoms as before, only slightly weaker.

If this trend continues, and with the additional prescription Shen Lingjun gave him to help clear the poison, he should eventually be completely detoxified.

Shen Lingjun sent someone to the Mo residence to find Mo Chonggui, and he arrived very quickly.

In just over a month, he looked completely different.

At least in front of Shen Lingjun, he no longer possessed that unrestrained demonic aura or evil spirit, nor did he have that calm and playful air that seemed to have everything under control.

As Shen Lingjun drew blood from him, Mo Zhonggui whispered, "If you are unwilling to marry me, we can cancel the marriage, and the betrothal gifts do not need to be returned."

Shen Lingjun glanced at him.

"What's the point of keeping the betrothal gifts here if they're not returned?"
