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

Chapter 531

Shen Lingjun's mind was in turmoil for only a moment before she forcefully suppressed her chaotic thoughts.

This is not something she needs to consider right now.

Anyway, if Mo Chonggui stays in Western Qi as emperor, she will take Xi'er and return to Northern Yi herself.

If staying in the Yongning Marquis's mansion would lead to her parents pressuring her to get married, then she could just follow in the footsteps of her master and senior brothers and sisters and travel the world. That wouldn't be bad either.

Anyway... if she weren't going to marry Mo Zhonggui, she wouldn't consider marrying anyone else.

Shen Lingjun forced herself to remain rational and brought her attention back.

She thought for a moment, and then an idea suddenly popped into her head.

Shen Lingjun asked Mo Chonggui, "What does this eldest daughter of the Marquis of Linyuan look like?"

Mo Zhonggui looked at her with some confusion.

"No information has been reported regarding his appearance; we assumed it wasn't important. Why ask about that?"

Shen Lingjun said, "If her appearance isn't too different from mine, I'm thinking, could I also take her place?"

Cheng Wu was raised in the countryside, and very few people in Ancheng knew of her existence. In other words, no one here knew her. The Lin Yuan Earl's family had ignored her for many years, and Huo Sizhen had only met her twice.

In this situation, it is relatively difficult to detect the impersonation.

As long as Cheng Wu's figure and appearance are not too different from Shen Lingjun's, for example, if she is less than five feet tall, then it is feasible to disguise her.

Shen Lingjun analyzed, "You don't want this arranged marriage, which is just to cause an accident for Cheng Wu. But if something happens right after the arranged marriage is granted, such a coincidence is easy to arouse suspicion. It's better to just replace her. She was hired by Huo Sizhen. If I replace her, it's like giving you another spy on Huo Sizhen's side. Moreover, she is Consort Xing's niece. She might be useful to Consort Xing's faction in the future."

Mo Zhonggui never even considered that approach.

He frowned and said, "But even if it could be done, it would be too dangerous for you."

If Shen Lingjun were to impersonate Cheng Wu, she would have to constantly deal with Huo Sizhen. If Huo Sizhen were to find out, it would be a huge problem.

Shen Lingjun said, "I promised to help you get revenge, and I will keep my word. Back then, because I saved Fu Shiyan, your master died in vain, and your family's revenge was not achieved. Now, I should naturally do what I can to make it up to you."

"Need not......"

Mo Zhonggui seemed to want to say something, but only opened his mouth and then stopped.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let me have someone check it out first."

Mo Zhonggui sent Xu Jingniang, a master of disguise, to the manor where Cheng Wu was staying, to secretly take a look at her.

Upon returning, Xu Jingniang reported to Mo Zhonggui and Shen Lingjun, "I can disguise the madam as her."

Cheng Wu doesn't resemble Shen Lingjun at all. She might have originally been of above-average looks, but having grown up on the estate and exposed to the elements year-round, her appearance is much rougher, her skin is darker, and her hair is of poor quality. Her features aren't as delicate as Shen Lingjun's, and her face shape is more of a square-round shape.

However, Shen Lingjun has a small face and is very versatile in disguise. As long as the mask is made well enough, it can still achieve a similarity of more than 90%.
