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

Chapter 52

Qin Shaoze was speechless.

Why couldn't Qin Shuangya have handled her relationship with Shen Lingjun better? Now that things have turned out like this, who would be willing to help her!

Shen Lingjun also earnestly advised Qin Shaoze: "Lord Marquis, you are Shuangya's own brother. How can you watch her go to the Prince Cheng's mansion to become a concubine? You can't be so cruel and heartless to her. Just change her title to a prince. You have submitted a petition, and I will immediately give the prescription to Shuangya. Otherwise, it will be too late when the Prince Cheng's mansion comes to pick her up."

"..."

Qin Shaoze's face turned green.

Shen Lingjun then turned to Qin Shuangya and said earnestly, "Shuangya, your brother intends to make you his concubine, but he's afraid you'll resent him, so he came to me to try and get your attention. But tell me, who's closer to me, your brother or me? You should plead with him more; he's more likely to agree than I am."

Qin Shuangya's face turned extremely ugly, while Qin Shaoze looked guilty and avoided her gaze.

"Shuangya, I'm not..."

Shen Lingjun interrupted, "Alright, you can talk about it yourselves back home. I won't keep you company any longer."

After saying that, he went straight back to the inner courtyard, without caring about Qin Shaoze and Qin Shuangya.

Back in the room, Shen Lingjun saw Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi taking a nap and sighed.

It seems that using Qin Shuangya to threaten Qin Shaoze isn't enough. She'll have to find another opportunity to do something else.

......

Qin Shuangya cried and made a scene at the Marquis's mansion for two days, but still failed to move Old Madam Qin and Qin Shaoze.

Qin Shaoze initially felt guilty towards her, but now he's annoyed by her antics.

He also felt that Liu Manman was right. Qin Shuangya's loss of virginity to Prince Cheng was due to her own stupidity, confusion, and shamelessness. She should bear the consequences of her own mistakes.

Two days later, the Prince Cheng's mansion sent people again. Qin Shuangya, who was helpless and had no one to turn to, was forcibly dragged into a sedan chair and sent into the Prince Cheng's mansion through a side gate.

The Yongning Marquis's mansion didn't have much spare money to prepare a dowry for Qin Shuangya. Apart from taking her own things, Qin Shuangya's grandmother and Qin Shaoze chipped in some money for her, and Liu Manman reluctantly added some dowry. It was barely acceptable on the surface, and that's how she was taken into the Chengjun Prince's mansion.

Qin Shuangya was filled with fear and despair, and she hated everyone in the Yongning Marquis's mansion.

She hated Shen Lingjun for having the prescription but refusing to share it to save her; she hated Qin Shaoze and Old Madam Qin for being her closest relatives yet watching her being sent to hell; she hated Liu Manman for encouraging Qin Shaoze not to help her and even gloating while watching the spectacle...

After Qin Shuangya was taken away, the atmosphere in the Yongning Marquis's mansion remained very somber.

After all, Old Madam Qin and Qin Shaoze watched helplessly as Qin Shuangya was sent to be a concubine, and they were still upset. Their resentment towards Shen Lingjun grew even stronger.

Shen Lingjun failed to achieve her goal and was not happy.

Only Liu Manman was in the best mood. Qin Shuangya was gone; she was overjoyed to have lost a leech clinging to her and sucking her blood.

That day, Liu Manman went out shopping, and Yao Sujuan came to visit again.

Qin Shaoze happened to be in the front yard when he met Yao Sujuan. He said to her, "Miss Yao, I'm sorry, Manman isn't home, but she should be back soon. Why don't you sit here and have a cup of tea?"

Yao Sujuan smiled and readily agreed, "Alright, thank you, Lord Marquis."
