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

Chapter 570

Lady Lin Yuan was furious: "Cheng Wu! What kind of attitude is this!"

Shen Lingjun looked genuinely puzzled: "Mother, you asked me to speak to His Highness, and I did; you asked me to plead with His Highness, and I agreed to that as well. I will plead with him after he returns to the manor. I haven't made things difficult for you at all; I've agreed to everything you asked for. What more do you want?"

Lady Lin Yuan: "..."

She laughed angrily, "Fine! Fine! You married the Seventh Prince and now you don't care about your family anymore! Without your family's help, I'd like to see how you manage to live in the Seventh Prince's residence all by yourself!"

Shen Lingjun let it go in one ear and out the other, too lazy to bother listening to her.

Putting aside the fact that she is not the real Cheng Wu, the Lin Yuan Marquis's mansion means nothing to her. At most, she just puts on a show for outsiders, and she will not help in the slightest when there is a real problem.

Even if she were the real Cheng Wu, the Lin Yuan Marquis's mansion was nothing but a distant family; they would never help her, and it would be a miracle if they didn't drain her dry.

Shen Lingjun's unyielding and indifferent attitude left Madam Linyuan feeling like she was punching cotton, with nowhere to vent her anger.

She had never taken Cheng Wu seriously; she was always the one looking down on her. Now, however, she was being completely ignored. How could she not be furious!

Lady Lin Yuan was furious, and said harshly, "You just wait! You won't even have time to cry later!" She turned to leave.

Shen Lingjun acted as if he hadn't heard, and said casually, "Alright, Mother, take care. Someone, escort Mother out of the mansion."

Lady Lin Yuan: "..."

She was absolutely furious with this damn girl! She truly lived up to her reputation as the little slut born of that old hag!

Lady Lin Yuan returned to the Lin Yuan Marquis's residence in a rage, only to learn from her family members who had just arrived, who were wailing and lamenting, that her nephew had been sentenced to death and had been thrown into a death row cell, awaiting execution in the autumn.

Lady Lin Yuan was anxious, pained, and angry, and she poured all her anger and resentment onto Cheng Wu.

Especially Cheng Wu's absent-minded attitude, not taking her seriously at all, and just casually brushing her off, made her grit her teeth in hatred!

At this moment, Cheng Di also arrived.

Seeing that Lady Linyuan looked furious, she quickly asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Lady Linyuan recounted the events, and Cheng Di was also quite angry.

"Has Cheng Wu gone mad?! What does she think she is? Just because she's the Seventh Prince's consort, she thinks she's above everyone else! With her terrible fate, who knows how long she can stay in this position!"

When Lady Linyuan heard the words "a very ominous fate," she froze for a moment.

She frowned and said, "That's true, but we still have to be wary of her. She's such an ingrate; once she gains a little power, she turns her back on her family and doesn't care about the kindness her maternal family showed her. She might even hold a grudge against us because the Earl's Mansion sent her to the estate for so many years. If she ever gains power in the future, she'll take revenge on us."

Cheng Di also thought it made sense.

Perhaps it was because of her innate antagonistic relationship with "Cheng Wu", or perhaps it was due to the subtle influence of Lady Lin Yuan over the years, but in any case, she also felt great disgust for "Cheng Wu". Before, it was contempt, and now it was jealousy.

Cheng Di suggested, "Then let's find a way to get the Seventh Prince to kick her out! Let's see what she has left to be so arrogant about!"

Lady Lin Yuan shook her head: "The princes' consorts are all listed in the imperial genealogy, so they can't be deposed so easily. Besides, the seventh prince is currently in power, and our Lin Yuan Marquis's mansion has very few connections. We need her, but she's unwilling to help even with the smallest favor. It's really hateful."

She thought for a moment and said, "We still need to find a way to control her and make use of her little bit of value."
