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

Chapter 69

Shen Lingjun had no reason to refuse; she herself was quite worried.

She considered the Yongning Marquis's mansion as her and her children's possession, and did not want the mansion to remain at odds with a dangerous figure like Mo Chonggui.

Whether Mo Zhonggui would be magnanimous is another matter, but she was determined to apologize.

“Alright, I’ll go with the Marquis.”

Shen Lingjun made some preparations, and the next morning, she and Qin Shaoze went to the Mo residence with gifts.

This was her first time visiting Mo Chonggui's residence.

The gatekeeper saw them arrive and let them in without announcing their arrival.

This gave Shen Lingjun a bad feeling, as if Mo Chonggui was just waiting for them to come to their door.

This mansion, like a man-eating monster with its gaping dark maw, was welcoming them to walk in.

The Mo family mansion was rumored to be a terrifying hell, a place where countless people had died and whose bones were buried. Every brick and every inch of land was soaked in blood.

Stepping inside, a chilling, eerie atmosphere enveloped everything, making everything appear darker than outside. The warm, bright morning sunlight seemed to be shut out of this space, unable to reach the mansion.

All the servants inside had their heads bowed, their expressions blank, hurriedly going about their tasks without a sound or any sign of life, like puppets controlled by sorcery. An eerie silence pervaded the entire mansion.

Shen Lingjun and Qin Shaoze were led to a small courtyard.

Qin Shaoze walked ahead of Shen Lingjun. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he suddenly took a step back and almost bumped into Shen Lingjun!

Shen Lingjun was baffled. He looked inside and immediately gasped in shock!

The yard was full of snakes!

Some were lazily curled up in the corner, as if they had already begun to hibernate; some were slowly swimming down from the trees; and some were raising their heads on the artificial hill, hissing and flicking their tongues...

Almost all of them were highly venomous snakes: banded kraits, golden kraits, pit vipers, king cobras, bamboo vipers...

There was also an enormous python, more than ten feet long, with vibrant and colorful plumage.

Most frighteningly, the python was eating.

It swallowed a person.

It had already swallowed more than half of it; now, only the shoulders and a disfigured, gruesome head were visible.

The python's body was so swollen that a human-shaped outline could be vaguely seen.

Mo Zhonggui was sitting in the corridor, leisurely enjoying everything in front of her. There was a plate of fruit next to her, as if she were watching a delightful song and dance performance.

Qin Shaoze had seen his fair share of cruel and bloody deaths on the battlefield, but seeing this scene before him still sent chills down his spine and made his stomach churn.

He forced himself to remain calm and bowed to Mo Chonggui: "Chief Mo, this humble general and my wife have come to pay our respects..."

Mo Zhonggui glanced at him, her eyes filled with utter contempt.

"The Marquis of Yongning is indeed pragmatic."

Under his gaze, Qin Shaoze was so embarrassed that he couldn't lift his head, his face burning as if on fire.

He will repay this humiliation a hundredfold in the future!

Shen Lingjun looked at Mo Zhonggui and Qin Shaoze with some confusion.

Didn't Qin Shaoze say he was here to apologize to Mo Zhonggui?

Why does this atmosphere seem a bit strange?

At this moment, a servant from the Mo family led in a young servant who was close to Qin Shaoze.

The servant hurriedly reported to Qin Shaoze: "My lord, there's an urgent matter at the martial arts arena, and we need you to come over."

Qin Shaoze nodded, turned to Mo Zhonggui, and said cautiously, "Chief Mo, I apologize for my rudeness and will take my leave now."

He then said to Shen Lingjun, "Please trouble you, Madam, to deliver the apology gifts I brought to Chief Eunuch Mo. I will formally apologize to Chief Eunuch Mo another day."

After saying that, he hurriedly left with his servant.
