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

Chapter 65

Qin Shaoze was also quite angry.

If he weren't now more concerned about the reputation of the Yongning Marquis's mansion, he would really want to divorce Shen Lingjun!

But you can't take a break.

Of the seven grounds for divorce, the only one that Shen Lingjun could be considered was disobeying her parents, but only they knew how much she had angered her mother-in-law. Shen Lingjun caused a sensation throughout the city by spending 70,000 taels of her dowry to pay for her mother-in-law's medical treatment, and her reputation outside the city was excellent. The whole capital praised her as a virtuous and filial daughter-in-law.

The Yongning Marquis's mansion has already been criticized for going too far. If they forcibly kick Shen Lingjun out, they will be condemned by everyone and will never be able to recover.

Liu Manman was extremely unwilling and asked Qin Shaoze, "Shaoze, is there no way to take back Rui'er's position as heir? Rui'er is our child! He should inherit everything from us!"

In Liu Manman's eyes, her marriage with Qin Shaoze was the legitimate one, while Shen Lingjun's arranged marriage with Qin Shaoze was devoid of affection, and their child was naturally an outsider!

Qin Shaoze naturally wanted to give the title to Qin Xuanrui, but Shen Lingjun unexpectedly outmaneuvered them, saying that the emperor's decree had already been issued and the title of heir apparent was a foregone conclusion.

Unless he could persuade the emperor to withdraw the decree, but what could he possibly offer? The emperor already disliked him, and now he didn't even dare to appear before the emperor.

Qin Shaoze shook his head in dismay.

"There's no way. Unless..."

He immediately swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Unless Qin Chuyao dies, the position of heir will pass to Qin Xuanrui, since the Yongning Marquis's mansion only has these two sons.

But Qin Shaoze immediately dismissed the thought as soon as it popped into his head.

Even tigers don't eat their cubs; he can't think like that, it's too terrifying.

Liu Manman didn't notice his unfinished words, but Old Madam Qin knew very well what he wanted to say.

Indeed, this is the only way.

A sinister glint flashed in Old Mrs. Qin's old eyes.

......

Shen Lingjun brought Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi back to Yufei Courtyard.

She checked the two children: "Are you hurt?"

Qin Chuyao shook his head: "Mother, we're fine."

Shen Lingjun patted their little heads: "You can still go for walks in the back garden as usual. I'll have Red Dragonfly accompany you. If anyone bullies you, fight back."

Then, she said to Qin Chuyao, "Chuyao, you are now the heir apparent of the Marquis of Yongning. But your father and grandmother do not want you to inherit the title of Marquis of Yongning, and you don't need to have any expectations of them, understand?"

It may seem premature to say these things to a three-year-old, but Shen Lingjun felt it was necessary to say them.

They may not have a normal, happy family, but there's no need to sugarcoat it. In this environment, letting them know the harsh reality early on will do them more good than bad.

Qin Chuyao nodded, with a hint of tears glistening in his eyes.

He suddenly lunged forward and wrapped his small arms tightly around Shen Lingjun's neck.

He carried strong and complex emotions that a child wouldn't normally have.

Shen Lingjun hugged him tightly, overwhelmed with emotion.

Qin Jianxi stood to one side, looking somewhat awkward and at a loss.

Unlike Qin Chuyao, who quickly became close to Shen Lingjun after being recognized, she did not.

However, Shen Lingjun was not in a hurry. This was her biological daughter, and she would still give her all her love.

Just then, the damselfly came in.
