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

Chapter 68

Qin Shaoze was unable to react for a moment.

He had already noticed Mo Chonggui's interest in Shen Lingjun. Especially during the last wedding banquet, Mo Chonggui went to Shen Lingjun's courtyard and even drank with her.

He had a bad feeling then. He never expected that Mo Zhonggui would now bring it up with him so openly!

He wants his wife!

No wonder Mo Zhonggui made things so difficult for him; that was her purpose!

A burning sense of shame swept over Qin Shaoze's entire body.

He felt as if his dignity had been torn off and thrown on the ground, allowing Mo Zhonggui to trample on it mercilessly.

His wife was coveted by a eunuch, and he was being threatened by him—this was absolutely the most unbearable humiliation for a man.

But he had no choice but to endure it.

He dared not retaliate against Mo Zhonggui, because he was certain that he would die under Mo Zhonggui's blade in the next second, and even if he died, it would be in vain.

Qin Shaoze remained silent, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves, veins bulging on his forehead, his jaw clenched so tightly he looked like he was about to crush his teeth.

Seeing his restrained expression, Mo Chonggui chuckled and ignored him, heading straight back to her own residence.

Qin Shaoze was absent-minded and dazed, and didn't even know how he got back to the Yongning Marquis's residence.

He tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and finally made a difficult decision.

For the sake of the Yongning Marquis's mansion, he had no choice but to sacrifice Shen Lingjun.

Logically speaking, this is the best option.

The Yongning Marquis's household already has Liu Manman as a secondary wife, and Shen Lingjun was originally someone they wanted to get rid of. Now she has no dowry, and she is so rebellious, arrogant, unfilial, and disrespectful. In the Yongning Marquis's household, she is completely superfluous.

Previously, he dared not divorce her because he was concerned about his reputation, but if Mo Chonggui were to intervene, then there would be no need to worry about the reputation of the Yongning Marquis's mansion.

Mo Chonggui is notorious for his ruthlessness. He dares to snatch anyone he sets his sights on and bring them into the mansion. Now, even the Lady of Yongning Marquis has fallen victim to his cruelty. In the future, people will only talk about Mo Chonggui's lawlessness, while the Marquis of Yongning himself will be a victim who has lost his wife.

What Qin Shaoze found most unbearable was that this was simply too humiliating.

His wife was coveted by another man, yet he had no choice but to offer her up. Where was his self-respect and dignity? Where was his manly spirit?

But he had to convince himself that when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body, leave them destitute, and thwart their endeavors, so as to strengthen their resolve and increase their abilities.

Only by enduring hardship and humiliation can one achieve great things in the future!

Having made up his mind, Qin Shaoze went to Yufei Courtyard.

With a solemn expression, he half-jokingly explained his purpose to Shen Lingjun.

“Lingjun, I’ve come to see you because it’s important. We don’t know who or why they’ve offended the Ninth Thousand Years-Old Eunuch Mo, but he’s clearly targeting our Yongning Marquis’s residence.”

Shen Lingjun was slightly startled.

She had indeed angered Mo Chonggui last time; he had even started targeting the Yongning Marquis's residence.

Qin Shaoze secretly observed her expression and continued, "I was thinking that my husband and I should go to the Mo residence together to apologize to him, hoping that he can be magnanimous. Otherwise, if this knot is not untied, the future of the Marquis's mansion may be worrying."
