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

Chapter 521

After saying that, he went into Huo Jinghuai's room.

Mo Zhonggui looked at Shen Lingjun.

"Shall we each go and make our own preparations?"

Shen Lingjun nodded: "How long do you expect it will take before we set off?"

Mo Zhonggui estimated: "Half a month."

He had left Kyoto for extended periods before, but only for a few months at most. This time, he didn't know how long he would be gone. He needed to hand over his current duties at the Northern Yi Directorate of Ceremonial and the Eastern Depot to Ye Huaichi.

Ye Huaichi had been with him for many years, and he had personally cultivated him. He knew Ye Huaichi's abilities, talents, and personality better than anyone. He didn't even know if Ye Huaichi would ever return after this departure, and Ye Huaichi was his successor.

Shen Lingjun said, "Then you go first, I'll take Xi'er and follow behind you."

They definitely cannot travel together.

Mo Zhonggui: "Alright, I've arrived in the capital of Western Qi and settled in. I'll meet you there later."

Shen Lingjun remained indifferent to Mo Zhonggui, and the atmosphere between the two was still stiff. Their conversation was dry and awkward, and they couldn't continue after a few exchanges.

After discussing it briefly, Shen Lingjun returned to the Yongning Marquis's residence to make his own preparations.

She first told Qin Jianxi and Qin Chuyao that she was going to take Qin Chuyao to Xiqi.

Qin Jianxi was very conflicted: "I really want to go too! You two went to Xiqi, and I'm left alone in the capital. I'll be all alone in the Yongning Marquis's mansion. Won't I be very lonely?"

Shen Lingjun: "Can you abandon your business?"

Qin Jianxi immediately changed her expression: "Then forget it. My business can't do without me. My godfather is plotting to seize the throne. He gave my mother so much dowry, I don't know how much he has left. I'd better make more money here so I can support him when the time comes. If he succeeds in seizing the throne, I can be made a princess, haha!"

Shen Lingjun: "..."

This girl is someone you really don't need to worry about at all.

Qin Chuyao felt very guilty: "Mother, I'm sorry. I was so careless with Qin Shaoze, and now you have to go to such a far place too..."

Qin Jianxi took it and said, "It's alright, what's the big deal? Anyway, Mother is going with Godfather. Haven't you always supported Godfather and Mother getting married? If they live apart, there's no chance. They should go together so they can develop their relationship!"

Qin Chuyao immediately dropped his guilty expression.

Yes, that makes sense! We owe it all to him!

Shen Lingjun: "..."

She had nothing more to say, so she left the two animals behind and went to the Shen residence.

When Wen Shi and Shen Jingyang heard that Mo Zhonggui wanted to take the place of the seventh prince of Western Qi and go to Western Qi to seize the throne, they were both very shocked.

If the regime of Western Qi could truly be overthrown from within, thus preventing the conflict between the two countries, that would be the best outcome.

Although they came from a military family, none of them liked war.

But seizing the throne is no easy task; the danger is no less than that of a battlefield.

Wen asked, "Lingjun, why do you insist on going with us? And why do you want to bring Yao'er along too?"

Shen Lingjun didn't want to tell the Shen family that Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi were actually Mo Zhonggui's biological children. Explaining why Qin Chuyao needed Mo Zhonggui's blood as a medicinal ingredient was far too complicated.

She simply and solemnly said, "Whether Mo Chonggui succeeds in this trip is of great importance. As a citizen of Bei Yi and a daughter of the Shen family, I want to help him as much as possible. As for Yao'er... he just wants to come with me to broaden his horizons. He won't stay there for too long."

Ms. Wen frowned, clearly finding it difficult to process this sudden and unexpected news.

"Then... if Mo Chonggui really succeeds in seizing the throne and ascends to the throne of Western Qi, he definitely won't return to Northern Yi, right?... But don't you two still have a marriage agreement? What will you and he do then?"
