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

Chapter 602

Shen Lingjun was only summoned to the Ministry of Justice for brief questioning twice in the past few days; the rest of the time he was still at the Seventh Prince's residence.

The case is currently on hold because the "prime suspect" hasn't been caught yet, but Shen Lingjun knows that the old woman will definitely not be found. So, this case will eventually become a cold case, and after a while, it will simply be forgotten.

Upon receiving news from the Lin Yuan Marquis's residence that the Marquis of Lin Yuan had fallen ill and needed her to attend to him, Shen Lingjun gave a cold laugh.

As it happened, she also had something to discuss with Uncle Linyuan.

Shen Lingjun then took Hong Qing and actually went to the Lin Yuan Earl's residence.

The Lin Yuan Earl's mansion was draped in white mourning clothes, with white lanterns hanging everywhere and paper money flying in the air. The mansion echoed with the cries of servants who were not actually grieving but had to pretend to be very grieving.

In this atmosphere, Shen Lingjun strode in with her head held high.

Lady Linyuan was in the mourning hall, crying as she burned paper money for Cheng Di.

She was truly heartbroken, her face streaked with tears, her eyes red and swollen, and her voice hoarse.

But Shen Lingjun watched coldly, without a trace of guilt or sympathy.

After she "married," she kept to herself and the Lin Yuan Earl's family, never bothering the mother and daughter. But they still harbored murderous intent towards her and actually carried it out.

If she hadn't had the ability to protect herself, she would have been the one to drown in the well, and she would be the one lying in that coffin now.

When Lady Lin Yuan saw Shen Lingjun arrive, her eyes almost bled. She stood up and staggered towards Shen Lingjun.

"You heartless murderer! You wretched woman who was born of a mother but raised by one! You'll pay for Di'er's life!"

Red Dragonfly stepped forward coldly, blocking Shen Lingjun's path.

Lady Lin Yuan still remembered how formidable this maid was, and instinctively flinched, no longer daring to move forward.

Just then, Lord Linyuan entered and quickly stepped forward to support his beloved wife.

He said sternly to Shen Lingjun, "You unfilial daughter! Kneel down!"

When a ruler commands a subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die; when a father commands a daughter to kneel, the daughter naturally has no choice but to kneel. But how could Shen Lingjun possibly kneel to the Earl of Linyuan? She simply stood there coldly, not moving.

The Earl of Linyuan himself had little contact with "Cheng Wu," but he had heard countless times from his wife how cold, wicked, and heartless his eldest daughter was, how she disregarded her own family after marrying into a wealthy family.

Looking at it now, it really is true. He even used his status as her father to pressure her, but she was completely unmoved and didn't even look at him!

The Earl of Linyuan was so angry he was practically fuming. He cursed loudly, "So, even I, your father, can't get you to do anything?!"

He then ordered the servants of the surrounding noble families: "Make her kneel! If the Seventh Prince questions me, I'll take the blame! I refuse to believe that it's only right for my daughter to kneel before me, and now she can't even kneel!"
