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

Chapter 520

Shen Lingjun understood what Mo Zhonggui meant, and after only a moment's thought, she made her decision.

“It’s alright, you can go. I’ll take Yao’er with you to Xiqi.”

She had said long ago that she would support Mo Zhonggui's revenge; it was her way of making amends to him.

Yao'er couldn't live without Mo Zhonggui, but she couldn't go to Xiqi alone. She had to go with him to prepare the antidote and monitor his detoxification progress at all times.

Moreover, her presence would be a significant help to Mo Zhonggui.

Mo Zhonggui hesitated, "But Xi'er, she..."

Shen Lingjun said, "If Xi'er wants to go, then we can go together. If she doesn't want to go, then she can stay in Kyoto. She's not an ordinary child; she doesn't have any problem with not being able to leave me."

Qin Jianxi is unlikely to go to Xiqi. She and Yan E are currently running a thriving business. They have a wide range of businesses, including arms, soap, glass, ice making, etc. The workshops and shops all rely on her, and she is making a fortune every day. Her net worth may have already surpassed that of Shen Lingjun.

Qin Jianxi is precocious despite her young age, even more shrewd and capable than adults. There's no need to worry about her at all; just leave her with plenty of guards to ensure her safety.

As for the Shen family, Shen Wei went to the northwest border last month to train and strengthen his troops, while Wen Shi and Shen Jingyang are temporarily staying in the capital. With the Shen family there, they can protect Qin Jianxi, so there's nothing to worry about.

Shen Lingjun can take Qin Chuyao to Xiqi for a year or two without any major problems.

In a year or two, she should be able to clear the poison from Qin Chuyao's body and no longer need Mo Zhonggui's blood.

Mo Zhonggui thought for a moment and said, "Alright. The three of us will go together."

When Huo Jinghuai saw that Mo Zhonggui had agreed, he seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and showed a relieved expression.

But at the same time, his life seemed to be burning to its last moment, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

He lived a quiet, humble, and repressed life, finding little joy and meaning in his existence. Death was not a particularly frightening thing for him.

It's not bad that he was able to make a contribution before he died.

Huo Jinghuai took out a thick stack of papers from his pocket and gave them to Mo Zhonggui.

"Brother, these are all things I wrote down, information about myself... You need to memorize this information to avoid being exposed while impersonating me... I don't have many servants in my mansion, you can find an excuse to replace them when you get there."

Although he was a prince, he was practically invisible in Western Qi, with very little social interaction and no friends. He was almost twenty years old and still unmarried, living a solitary life.

None of the servants in the Seventh Prince's residence were particularly loyal to him. Huo Tingsheng was extremely suspicious, and given his awkward background, he would never allow himself to have his own trusted followers.

It wouldn't be difficult for Mo Zhonggui to take over his identity.

Mo Zhonggui accepted it.

"Don't worry, I will help you fulfill your wish."

Huo Jinghuai smiled slightly with satisfaction.

"Big brother, Zhilin, I feel very tired and want to rest alone for a while, is that okay?"

Mo Chonggui and the other two exchanged glances, understood each other without saying a word, and silently withdrew.

"Okay, have a good rest."

After they went outside, none of the three left. They guarded the area for less than half an hour. Mo Zhonggui and Xie Zhilin, who both had profound internal strength, could hear that there was no more breathing inside.

Mo Zhonggui stood up and sighed.

"Zhilin, find a good place to give him a proper burial. Secretly send his memorial tablet back to Xiqi and bury him with Aunt Fang."

After Fang Kui died, she was buried near the Western Qi imperial mausoleum. However, many years ago, Mo Chonggui secretly ordered her to be moved and reburied in her hometown. Fang Kui would not have wanted to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Xie Zhilin responded heavily, "Okay."
