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

Chapter 609

The Xing family is now doing everything they can to suppress the case, silence witnesses, and transfer stolen goods.

Unexpectedly, Huo Jinghuai had already traced his whereabouts to Xiaowan Village!

Consort Xing was still hesitant, wanting to find a perfect opportunity to take action against "Huo Jinghuai". Now she felt that she could not wait any longer. With "Huo Jinghuai's" ability, he would definitely be able to investigate this case to the end. At that time, Xing Feng would be finished!

Consort Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Then when the seventh prince sets off, you should immediately send someone to deliver a message to the Xing residence."

The Xing family could set a trap in Xiaowan Village beforehand and kill "Huo Jinghuai" there, killing two birds with one stone: preventing the case from being solved and avoiding suspicion about the Xing family's faction.

Since Consort Xing couldn't easily extend her influence within the palace, she decided to have Xing Feng handle the matter.

Shen Lingjun feigned a worried and troubled expression, clenching her hands and twisting the hem of her clothes as she cautiously asked, "Your Highness... what do you intend to do to the Seventh Prince?"

She and "Huo Jinghuai" were a loving couple, but now she has sold all his information, so she still has to pretend to be in pain and conflict.

Consort Xing glanced at her and knew what she was worried about. If Huo Jinghuai died, she, as the widow of the Seventh Prince, and who had no children, would be in a very awkward situation.

Consort Xing thought to herself, "Now that Huo Jinghuai is dead, Cheng Wu is no longer of any use. I will send Cheng Wu down with me so that the couple can be reunited."

She simply smiled and said, "Sister Wu, don't worry. I don't intend to do anything to Seventh Prince. It's just that I don't want Seventh Prince to find out about this case, so we need to prepare in advance."

Shen Lingjun was skeptical: "Is Your Highness serious? The Seventh Prince has treated me well. I would rather die from the poison myself than harm him!"

Consort Xing sneered inwardly, but put on a kind face and patted her on the shoulder.

"Sister Wu, of course you don't need to say that. You are my own niece, and I certainly won't make things difficult for you."

Shen Lingjun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and then shed tears.

"Your Highness, I hope you have compassion on my behalf... I've just had a falling out with my family, and if I lose even the Seventh Prince, I'll truly be left with no one to rely on..."

Consort Xing asked casually, "You've fallen out with the Marquis of Linyuan's household? What happened?"

Shen Lingjun then revealed that she had discovered that Lady Linyuan had murdered Lady Linyuan's first wife and eldest son, and that Lady Linyuan not only did not report it to the authorities, but also refused to deal with Lady Linyuan herself. She choked up with sadness at the end.

"My father favors my stepmother, refuses to seek justice for my mother and brother, and even treats me like an enemy. I can't rely on such a family, so I really can't live without the Seventh Prince..."

Consort Xing thought about it and felt that she could get involved in the matter of the Marquis of Linyuan's residence.

Otherwise, if "Cheng Wu" feels that she has no one to rely on except the Seventh Prince, and if she is afraid of harming the Seventh Prince and really refuses to cooperate with her to deliver the message even at the cost of her life, then there will be trouble.

Besides using poison to intimidate Cheng Wu, showing her some favors would make her more willing to do things for him.

The Earl of Linyuan's first wife was her own sister, so it was perfectly reasonable for her to seek justice for her sister who had been murdered. Anyway, it wouldn't take much effort; all she had to do was put pressure on the Earl of Linyuan. Given her status, he would definitely have to be wary of her.
