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

Chapter 603

The servants of the Earl's mansion hesitated and surrounded him. There were many of them, while Shen Lingjun only had one red dragonfly by his side, making it seem as if they were outnumbered.

The Marquis of Linyuan said sternly, "You will kneel here for three days! You have no affection for your family, and you are so ruthless as to poison your own sister and kill Di'er. No matter how long you kneel, it will not be enough to atone for your crimes!"

Shen Lingjun sneered: "Lord, the Ministry of Justice hasn't even convicted me yet, and you're already going to carry out this private torture here? Even if your wife told you that excrement is sweet, would you still go and take a bite?"

The Earl of Linyuan's eyes widened in disbelief. He pointed at Shen Lingjun with a trembling hand, and it took him a long time to finally utter a curse:

"...This is outrageous! This is outrageous! You unfilial daughter! How dare you speak to me like that! I am your father! My wife is your mother!"

Shen Lingjun interrupted him: "Lord, have you forgotten that my mother was someone else, and the second wife you married later is the real murderer. The reason I came to the Lin Yuan Marquis's mansion today is to uncover two old cases."

Upon hearing this, Lady Linyuan's face turned pale.

She immediately retorted, her voice sharp but her tone weak: "What nonsense are you spouting! You killed Sister Di, and now you're trying to pull other things here, bringing up old cases. Do you think you can get away with this?"

Then, turning to the Earl of Linyuan, he said, "Earl, don't listen to her heresies. Di'er died so tragically, and she's still so arrogant. How can Di'er rest in peace if she has a spirit in heaven! ... She must kneel before Di'er for three full days! If she doesn't kneel, break her legs. She has no choice but to kneel! You are her father. No matter how you deal with her, it won't matter!"

Shen Lingjun completely ignored Lady Linyuan and loudly ordered, "Bring the person in."

Outside the mourning hall, a commotion arose in response, and soon a group of guards escorted an old woman and an old monk inside.

When Lady Lin Yuan saw the two of them, her face instantly turned completely pale!

She stared at Shen Lingjun in horror, as if she had seen a ghost!

The Earl of Linyuan was also greatly startled.

This is the Lin Yuan Earl's residence, not the main street! This group of people just swaggered in like they were in an empty place. What were the Earl's guards doing?

The Earl of Linyuan was both surprised and furious. Just as he was about to question him, Shen Lingjun asked him, "My lord, do you still remember this old woman?"

Lin Yuanbo looked at the old woman several times before asking with surprise and doubt, "Are you Granny Rui?"

He remembered that Granny Rui was a lowly servant in his deceased wife's household. After his former wife drowned, Granny Rui was still in the mansion. Later, his eldest son also died young from illness. He felt it was bad luck, so he sold off all the servants in the entire mansion.

Why did Cheng Wu bring her here?

Grandma Rui should be in her forties, but she looks like she's in her seventies or eighties. She has a full head of white hair, a hunched back, and her face is covered with scars, making her look quite frightening.

She stared intently at Lady Linyuan, her eyes flashing with intense resentment.

"My lord! I must denounce this! It was this wicked woman who instigated me to kill your first wife and eldest son! She bribed me to push Madam Chi into the lake! And it wasn't a coincidence that the eldest son contracted the plague; she made me bring back clothes from a dead child to dress him, which is why he fell ill and died!"
