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

Chapter 628

Shen Lingjun didn't say anything, just stared at Mo Zhonggui, waiting for his reaction.

Mo Zhonggui didn't speak, but looked at Xue Qian.

A hint of joy flashed in Xue Qian's eyes, and she immediately followed him with quick steps, walking out with him.

Shen Lingjun had prepared a place for Xue Qian to stay early in the morning. It was called Qixiang Garden, located east of the Seventh Prince's residence. It was a very nice courtyard.

They are heading in the direction of Qixiang Garden now.

Shen Lingjun was left sitting blankly in the hall, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

She knew that since Mo Chonggui had taken Xue Qian as a concubine, he would definitely do what was expected of him. But the thought of Mo Chonggui actually consummating his marriage with Xue Qian made her extremely uncomfortable.

She wished she could leave the Seventh Prince's residence as soon as possible, out of sight, out of mind.

But she also knew that it was impossible to leave now. If something happened to the Seventh Prince's Consort at this juncture, it would arouse too much suspicion.

Shen Lingjun returned to her courtyard, still feeling absent-minded and distracted.

She had no interest in doing anything and went to bed early, but naturally tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep at all.

My mind keeps wandering to what Mo Zhonggui and Xue Qian are doing right now... but I don't want to think about it, and I try my best to pull my thoughts back.

Just thinking about it made her feel unbearable, and she wished she could kill her way to Qixiang Garden and drag Mo Chonggui over.

She told herself that she and Mo Zhonggui were only husband and wife in name. He impersonated Huo Jinghuai, and she impersonated Cheng Wu, and they entered into this marriage, nothing more.

He was using Huo Jinghuai's identity to consummate his marriage with Xue Qian; it was none of her business, and she had nothing to be upset about.

However... aside from that, their true identities are that of an engaged couple, so she really can't help but mind.

She had been hesitant about what would become of her and Mo Zhonggui in the future, but the situation was still uncertain, and there was no point in thinking too much. She would just have to see how things went when the time came.

At this moment, although her mind was in turmoil, one thought gradually became clear.

—It seems that she and Mo Zhonggui were ultimately not on the same path.

Never mind... She promised Mo Zhonggui she would help him get revenge, so she'll save it for last.

But once he has finished his revenge, she will leave him no matter what.

She couldn't accept that he had had relationships with other women.

Of course, it wasn't his fault, but she also had her right to choose.

As Shen Lingjun was tossing and turning, the curtain suddenly rustled, and footsteps came in.

She stood up and saw Mo Zhonggui walk in.

Shen Lingjun stood there stunned, not reacting for a moment.

It was a thoughtless remark, spoken without any prior thought, that just slipped out.

"...Are you done so quickly?"

Mo Chonggui: "......"

Mo Zhonggui's face darkened visibly.

"What do you mean by 'it ended so quickly'?"

Shen Lingjun then realized that Mo Zhonggui was still wearing the same robes as before, and they were still neatly dressed, obviously without any changes.

Shen Lingjun stammered, "You...you didn't consummate your marriage with Consort Xue?"

Mo Zhonggui asked incredulously, "How could I possibly consummate our marriage with her?"

Shen Lingjun was stunned: "Then what about her? Isn't she still in Qixiang Garden? You're just leaving her there by herself, and she doesn't even mind?"

Mo Zhonggui: "I put some sleeping potion in her room and had someone consummate the marriage with her. There won't be any problems."
