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

Chapter 633

I was prescribed some medicine to regulate and nourish the body, but it didn't have much effect.

Huo Tingsheng rubbed his temples and called in a eunuch.

"It is hereby announced that the Seventh Prince's concubine, Lady Xue, has entered the palace."

It's been half a month since Xue Qian married into the Seventh Prince's household. He had given Xue Qian ample background and support before, and now it's time for her to show her worth.

......

The Seventh Prince's Residence.

Shen Lingjun was listening to his subordinates report on Xue Qian's movements over the past two weeks.

Xue Qian was sent by Huo Tingsheng to monitor them, and they were naturally monitoring Xue Qian at the same time.

After taking over the reins of the household, Xue Qian searched the entire Seventh Prince's residence, but of course, she didn't find anything.

After their wedding night, Mo Chonggui neglected Xue Qian and stopped spending the night in her courtyard. After all, the method used on their wedding night couldn't be used too often; doing so would surely arouse Xue Qian's suspicion.

Xue Qian diligently tried to win Huo Jinghuai's favor, employing every trick in the book for women in the inner quarters of the household. She served him inkstones in green, added fragrance to his inkstones with red sleeves, washed her hands to prepare soup, and even sewed sachets by hand...

In addition, Xue Qian, as a female musician, was extremely skilled in music. For a while, she often showed off her skills around the mansion, playing the zither by the water, playing the zither from a high place, playing the zither under the moon... probably trying to attract Huo Jinghuai's attention.

Her piano skills were truly exceptional; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as heavenly music, which made Shen Lingjun feel refreshed and happy every day.

Being in this prince's residence, she can hear music that only the emperor can enjoy every day, which is quite a privilege.

Unfortunately, all of Xue Qian's efforts were in vain.

Since Xue Qian entered the Seventh Prince's residence, Mo Chonggui has been returning home much less often than before. He leaves early and returns late, and when he does return, he goes directly to Shen Lingjun's place.

Xue Qian made little progress, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry; her mind didn't seem to be entirely on this.

Shen Lingjun's subordinates also discovered a few things that were quite unexpected.

Xue Qian showed an extraordinary enthusiasm for making money.

When she married into the Seventh Prince's household, like daughters of wealthy families, she brought several shops and farmlands as her dowry. After taking over the management of the Seventh Prince's household, she devoted a great deal of time and energy to these businesses, seemingly managing them very seriously.

She also tried every means to convert the valuables she brought with her into cash, turning them into money that she could spend at will.

In addition, she also tried to secretly buy two fake household registrations in a remote area in southern Xiqi.

Of course, given Xue Qian's current status and abilities, doing this discreetly would be extremely difficult. She's currently only in the stage of finding a way in, and doesn't yet know if she can succeed.

Shen Lingjun listened with great interest.

This Xue Qian is more interesting than she imagined.

What is she trying to do?

Shen Lingjun asked, "Where is Consort Xue now? Please invite her over to sit here. We haven't talked in a long time."

Dou Niang went out for a while and came back to report: "Consort Xue has just been summoned to the palace and cannot come over."

Shen Lingjun responded with an "Oh".

"Alright, let's talk about it when she returns from the palace."
