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

Chapter 71

Shen Lingjun's hair stood on end.

All the rumors about Mo Chonggui that she had heard before—his cruel and bloodthirsty methods, his perverted and evil fetishes—swirled in Shen Lingjun's mind.

She was overwhelmed by extreme fear, her body frozen in place, unable to move, as if she had lost all ability to resist.

Shen Lingjun used all her strength to force herself to speak.

"He...is not qualified to hand me over to anyone...I believe that Chief Supervisor Mo will not harm me..."

Mo Zhonggui tilted his head slightly, a gesture that, while seemingly innocent, appeared particularly chilling when he did it.

He seemed to find it amusing.

"Oh? How do you know?"

Shen Lingjun, of course, had no idea.

She just had no choice but to take this gamble.

Shen Lingjun said with difficulty, "Because...you wouldn't do such a thing..."

If Mo Chonggui wanted to do anything to her, he would have done it long ago. Her status as the wife of the Marquis of Yongning was nothing to him; he could arrest or kill her as he pleased.

Why wait for Qin Shaoze to deliver her to her door?

Mo Zhonggui smiled.

Then he whispered in her ear, "You guessed wrong."

"I can do whatever I want, whenever I want."

He suddenly increased the pressure on his hand.

Shen Lingjun felt her breath suddenly cut off, and she couldn't catch her breath, but she still restrained her instincts and did not make any futile resistance.

She was trembling all over, her mind went blank, and her vision began to black out...

Just then, the hand that was gripping her chin suddenly released its grip.

Shen Lingjun broke free from this terrible constraint, suddenly took a few steps back, clutched her neck, gasped for breath, and tried her best to suppress the cough in her throat.

She looked up at Mo Zhonggui.

Mo Zhonggui was looking at his fingers, as if he himself was also wondering why he had let go of Shen Lingjun.

Then he turned his gaze back to Shen Lingjun.

"Madam Shen truly trusts me."

Shen Lingjun didn't speak, firstly because she was too breathless to speak, and secondly because she really didn't know how to respond.

Mo Zhonggui lowered his hand.

"Madam Shen has already obtained the position of heir to the Marquis of Yongning that she wanted. What are your plans now? The Marquis of Yongning can give you away once, and he can do it a second and a third time. I'm afraid you won't live much longer."

He said with a half-smile, "Sending them back and forth is too much trouble. I think Madam Shen would be better off staying at my residence. I, as your godfather, will take care of your two children. As long as I have fun, I promise I'll try my best to let you live a little longer."

Shen Lingjun could only pretend that she hadn't heard the second half of his words.

She had calmed down by now, stood up straight, and spoke in a chilling voice.

“I will not give him another chance to send me away. Now that I have obtained the position of heir apparent, the next step is naturally to inherit the title of Marquis of Yongning.”

Mo Zhonggui paused for a moment, seemingly quite interested.

"You mean... you want to lose your husband?"

Shen Lingjun said coldly, "I've been married for three years, and now I'm tired of it. I want to try what it's like to be a widow."

Qin Shaoze knew perfectly well what would happen to her if she fell into Mo Zhonggui's hands, yet he still tricked her into entering the Mo residence and gave her to Mo Zhonggui.

He was personally sending her to her death, and in the most tragic and unbearable way.

Why keep a husband like that around?

Mo Zhonggui burst into laughter upon hearing her words.

"Fine! I'd love to try what it's like to be a widow!"

At this moment, Shen Lingjun was truly the epitome of beauty in his eyes.
