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

Chapter 568

Jiang Yunwan's skin is naturally much better than that of women her age, but she is getting on in years, and there are still some fine lines and sagging, as well as some spots on her skin, which are difficult to cover up no matter how exquisite her makeup is.

After using the Peach and Plum Blossom Dew, her face became plump and firm at an astonishing speed, and all the lines around her eyes and mouth disappeared; her skin was even more moisturized, crystal clear, fair and faintly glowing, so delicate that it could be broken with a touch, and you could almost see the veins underneath.

Moreover, her complexion was excellent, her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and her lips were rosy; she didn't even need to use rouge.

No one who saw it would believe that it was the face of a woman in her forties; she could easily pass for someone under thirty.

It truly is like turning back the clock and regaining youth.

She has returned to her peak beauty.

Jiang Yunwan was overjoyed. None of the beauty and skincare elixirs she had used before had ever had such an effect!

On the fifteenth of that month, Jiang Yunwan dressed up carefully, specially wearing the clothes she wore when she first met Huo Tingsheng. She wore a flowing white gauze dress, and apart from a lotus flower in her hair, there were no pearls or jade. She looked like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without any artifice.

With her youthful and delicate face, it's as if she's returned to the prime of her life.

Sure enough, Huo Tingsheng arrived at Jiang Yunwan's palace that night, and was immediately stunned when he saw her like this.

Clearly, it stirred up memories and feelings from that time.

For the first time in months, he had sex with Jiang Yunwan, and his attitude towards her improved considerably afterward, no longer as indifferent as before.

Jiang Yunwan was overjoyed and praised the Fourth Prince lavishly.

She then ordered the palace servants to make more peach and plum blossoms to bloom and expose, intending to use them on her body as well.

If her entire body's skin had this condition, then she would truly look like a young girl, even more alluring than a young girl.

You must not let Huo Tingsheng become infatuated with you again!

......

The Seventh Prince's Residence.

The new mansion bestowed by Huo Tingsheng upon "Huo Jinghuai" has been cleaned and prepared. The Ministry of Rites selected an auspicious day, and the entire Seventh Prince's household moved there.

Although it was called the entire household, there were actually only two proper masters and not many servants, just about twenty at most.

When Shen Lingjun arrived at the new residence, he looked around and found that it was indeed much better than the dilapidated house he had been living in before.

The buildings are all newly renovated, and the gardens are very elegant and exquisite. There is also a fairly open lake in the mansion, with a waterside pavilion built on the lake and a pavilion in the center of the lake.

People were by the lake, and a gentle breeze blew across the water, making the mansion feel quite cool even on this hot summer day.

On the grassy lakeside, there are two huge osmanthus trees. At this time of year, they are not yet in full bloom, with only a few small flowers sparsely emerging from under the leaves.

Upon seeing this, Shen Lingjun immediately ordered his servants, "Cut down these two trees."

Mo Zhonggui stopped her: "Why did you cut it?"

Shen Lingjun looked at him in surprise: "Didn't you hate osmanthus the most?"

Mo Zhonggui smiled: "I don't hate it anymore, I actually like it very much."

Shen Lingjun paused for a moment, then laughed.

"Okay, then when these two trees bloom, I'll make you some osmanthus cakes."

The two moved into the new residence, and Qin Chuyao moved in with them. Of course, they didn't dare let him live in the Seventh Prince's residence, so they bought a courtyard next to the new residence and converted it into a larger space for him to live in, just like before.

The effects of the Lianxin Powder on Qin Chuyao have mostly worn off. Shen Lingjun is considering whether to send him back to Beiyi Capital first, as it's not safe here. Mo Zhonggui's plans are too dangerous, and it would be troublesome if Qin Chuyao were implicated.

However, it's already the hot summer, not the right time to travel a long distance. We can wait two or three months.

Not long after moving to the new residence, the Marquis of Linyuan sent someone to ask Shen Lingjun to return home.

Shen Lingjun had almost forgotten about her so-called "family home".

Ever since she "married" into the Seventh Prince's residence, the Lin Yuan Earl's family has acted as if she didn't exist, ignoring her completely and not even sending her a single message.

Of course, she was happy to avoid dealing with the Lin Yuan Earl's Mansion, and the two sides remained completely estranged.

Previously, the Marquis of Linyuan looked down on her because they thought she had married too poorly, and didn't bother with her. Now, perhaps because "Huo Jinghuai" has emerged, she, the Seventh Prince's Consort, doesn't seem so bad after all, and they've started to think of her.

Shen Lingjun went to the Lin Yuan Marquis's residence.

After all, she was still under the identity of "Cheng Wu," and it seemed that this identity would need to be maintained for a long time, so she still had to pretend to maintain a normal relationship with the Lin Yuan Earl's Mansion.

Inside the Lin Yuan Earl's residence, the Lin Yuan Earl's wife was waiting anxiously in the hall, her face showing obvious impatience.

"We sent someone to invite Sister Wu, but more than an hour has passed and she still hasn't arrived."

Marquis Lin Yuan comforted him, saying, "Perhaps they're on their way and will arrive soon..."

As they were talking, Shen Lingjun walked in from outside.

"Father, mother."

Lady Lin Yuan immediately sat up from her chair: "Wu'er, why did you take so long? How can you keep your father waiting here for so long?"

Shen Lingjun said calmly, "We recently moved to our new residence, and there are quite a few chores to do, so we've been quite busy."

Lady Linyuan was taken aback, which made her even more annoyed and displeased.

Cheng Wu looks much better now than when she was first brought back from the countryside; she is no longer the dark-skinned, rough-looking village girl she once was.

Although her clothes weren't particularly luxurious, they were very appropriate, made of high-quality fabrics, and her jewelry was also of good quality.

More importantly, perhaps because she had been a prince's wife for a period of time and her husband was quite accomplished, she could hold her head high in public, and her demeanor had completely changed.

He became calm and composed, completely shedding that timid and petty air of someone who couldn't hold his own in public.

Despite having only studied etiquette for such a short time, she already exudes elegance and nobility, seemingly even surpassing Cheng Di, who has been carefully nurtured since childhood.

Shen Lingjun didn't want to waste too much time here, so he asked directly, "What did Mother want to ask me to come back for?"
