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

Chapter 606

Seeing that the Earl of Linyuan finally believed her, Shen Lingjun said calmly, "Earl, you already know what happened. My mother and brother were killed by your second wife. I must seek justice for them."

The Earl of Linyuan had not yet come to his senses and turned to look at Shen Lingjun absentmindedly.

"What...what do you want?"

Shen Lingjun: "Of course we'll report it to the authorities, and they'll handle it according to the proper procedures."

Upon hearing this, Lady Linyuan was terrified.

He grabbed the Earl of Linyuan tightly: "Earl! You can't report it to the authorities! You absolutely can't report it to the authorities! ... Think about it, once the matter gets out, the reputation of the Earl of Linyuan's mansion will be completely ruined!"

The Earl of Linyuan's face turned ashen, and he disgustedly threw his wife away, but he did not refute what she said.

With a stern face, the Marquis of Linyuan said to Shen Lingjun, "Indeed, we cannot report this to the authorities. If the outside world finds out about such a shameful matter, how will the Marquis of Linyuan's mansion have any face left in Ancheng?"

If the matter is reported to the authorities, it will definitely spread. The news that his second wife murdered his first wife and eldest son will be enough to keep the whole of Ancheng talking about it for a long time.

Moreover, the Lady of the Marquis of Linyuan is certain to be sentenced to death, which means he will be without a wife. With such a reputation, the Marquis of Linyuan's mansion will have no chance of finding a decent woman to marry into it. As a dignified marquis, he can't just marry any ugly woman, nor can he remain a bachelor. Otherwise, his situation will be extremely awkward.

Shen Lingjun sneered: "You don't have to report it to the authorities. You can deal with her yourself. She killed two people and must pay with her life. There are plenty of ways to make a mistress of a wealthy family disappear. Sudden death, death from illness, or accidental death are all fine. You can choose one."

Lady Lin Yuan was immediately horrified, her face turned deathly pale, and she glared at Shen Lingjun through gritted teeth.

"How...how could you say such vicious things!"

Shen Lingjun scoffed, "You've done things far more heinous than this, and you still have the nerve to criticize me? I'm just seeking justice for my mother and brother!"

Lady Lin Yuan knelt on the ground, crawling towards Lord Lin Yuan on her knees, tears streaming down her face, pleading desperately:

"My lord! I beg you, spare my life! Di'er is dead, leaving only Lin'er, who is only seven years old. He can't live without his mother! I don't ask for your forgiveness, just keep me locked up in the manor. I'm willing to live a life of austerity, praying day and night for Sister Xing and Yu'er to atone for my sins. Just spare my life! It'll all be for Lin'er's sake!..."

Lady Linyuan cried her heart out, tears streaming down her face, and she kept kowtowing on the ground, her forehead hitting the blue brick floor with a loud thud. Soon her head was covered in blood, and she looked extremely pitiful.

The Earl of Linyuan initially felt disgusted with his wife and even considered killing her, but under her pleading, his expression gradually wavered, and he showed reluctance.

At this moment, he remembered the kindness of Lady Linyuan.

Not only was she exceptionally beautiful, but she was also gentle and charming. After marrying into the Lin Yuan Earl's household, she served him impeccably, and the couple lived in perfect harmony and blissful love...

As for his first wife, he can hardly remember what she looks like now. In any case, she is far inferior to his second wife, and he has long since lost all feelings for her.
