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

Chapter 600

Shen Lingjun stood there, looking terrified.

"Mother, you can't say such things! My sister is in trouble, and I'm very worried and heartbroken. How can you pin such a serious charge of murder on me!"

Lady Lin Yuan, in a hysterical outburst, cried out, "It's you! You..."

She guessed that Cheng Di had failed and was instead killed by "Cheng Wu," but she couldn't say it out loud.

At this moment, Lady Linyuan was filled with remorse. Cheng Di hated "Cheng Wu" to the core and insisted on taking revenge herself, which was why she let Cheng Di go. If she had known, she should have gone herself.

Lady Linyuan paused for a moment, then came up with an excuse: "You weren't admiring the flowers with everyone earlier! I saw you walk towards this corner!"

Shen Lingjun looked helpless: "I wasn't the only one who didn't enjoy the flowers with everyone earlier, and I wasn't the only one who came over here. It's absurd for my mother to accuse me of murder based on this alone. Besides, why would I kill my sister?"

Lady Lin Yuan scolded, "Because you've been jealous of Di'er since you were little! You think you're destined for bad luck, having been sent to the estate for so many years, while Di'er gets to live the life of a pampered young lady in the Earl's mansion. You think she stole your life!"

Shen Lingjun raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Mother is right, but if I were to be jealous of my sister, that should be something from the past. Now I am the Seventh Prince’s consort, living a happy and fulfilling life with the Seventh Prince, while my sister hasn’t even been engaged yet. Whether in terms of status or married life, I am far better off than my sister. What do I have to be jealous of?”

Lady Linyuan felt as if a knife had been plunged into her heart, and she was speechless for a moment.

But Shen Lingjun wasn't finished yet, and continued:

"As for this so-called ominous fate, I don't think it's entirely true. After I married the Seventh Prince, not only did he have no problems, but he got better and better. When my mother came to the Lin Yuan Earl's Mansion as a guest, not long after, my birth mother died in an accident. Later, my mother married into the family as a second wife, and a year later, my younger brother also passed away. How they died is still unknown, and it's not necessarily because I caused their deaths."

As soon as Shen Lingjun said this, everyone around him exchanged glances and began to whisper among themselves.

All of them were women from noble families, and even if they hadn't seen it, they had heard about the secrets of wealthy households.

As everyone knows, the wife of the Earl of Linyuan was his second wife, a cousin of the Earl of Linyuan. After she came to visit the mansion, the first wife died in an accident. The second wife married into the family, but the son born to the first wife also died, and the daughter of the first wife was said to have a very bad fate and was sent to a country estate for many years.

After hearing what "Cheng Wu" said, it's really hard to say what the truth behind it is.

That so-called ominous fate is also predicted by people. And people can be shady. Who knows if it's true or false?

Judging from the Seventh Prince's situation at least, this "Cheng Wu" not only doesn't bring bad luck to those around her, but she's also very lucky for her husband!

Lady Lin Yuan's face turned pale and then red, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

He said, all bluster and no substance, "I'm saying you killed Sister Di, don't try to change the subject! You've already admitted that you were jealous of her before, maybe you're just narrow-minded and hold grudges, and now that you're in power, you're thinking of taking revenge on her!"

Shen Lingjun frowned: "Mother, I know you don't like me, but there's no point in you making unfounded suspicions. Let's report it to the authorities. They will find out who the real murderer is."
