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

Chapter 714

Mo Zhonggui: "I didn't die, but it was much worse than death."

"It's alright, as long as his death hasn't been made public yet," Shen Lingjun said thoughtfully. "How about this, I'll go ask Qi Xuan what he thinks first, and then give him a strong dose of that stuff. I don't believe I can't wake up that stubborn head of his!"

......

Qi Mansion.

Qi Xuan was lying in bed recovering from her injuries when Shen Lingjun arrived.

Upon seeing Shen Lingjun, Qi Xuan excitedly sat up.

"Junior sister, you didn't do anything to Miss Sheng, did you?"

Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "We only have suspicions about Miss Sheng. Without evidence, we can't do anything to her. However, since Madam Sheng has confessed, we can't let her off easily."

Qi Xuan still looked nervous: "Will this implicate Miss Sheng?"

Shen Lingjun: "No, we plan to treat it as Madam Sheng's disappearance. That way, there will be the least trouble, and it won't have any other implications for the Sheng family."

Qi Xuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but her feelings were also somewhat complicated.

Madam Sheng dared to try to kill Shen Lingjun, a crime deserving of death, and he naturally wouldn't say anything. But Madam Sheng was, after all, Sheng Qiongluo's biological mother, and if she were to leave and never return, Sheng Qiongluo would surely be heartbroken and extremely saddened.

Moreover, he had promised Sheng Qiongluo that he would definitely rescue Madam Sheng, and now he had to break his promise. Sheng Qiongluo must be very disappointed in him.

Shen Lingjun remained calm and changed the subject.

"Senior brother, do you still want to marry Miss Sheng?"

Qi Xuan blushed.

"Of course, but now..."

Shen Lingjun said, "Since you two are truly in love, this is not a problem. The Crown Prince and I will ask the Emperor for an imperial decree to grant you two a marriage. I heard that Lord Sheng is happy to see your marriage, but Madam Sheng does not agree. However, Madam Sheng is no longer here anyway."

Qi Xuan was both surprised and delighted: "Is this really okay?"

Shen Lingjun: "Why not? This is the best way. No matter what the Sheng family's attitude is, the emperor's decree of marriage cannot be disobeyed. Can't you and Miss Sheng become a couple?"

Qi Xuan was deeply moved: "Junior sister, thank you so much. I've caused you so much trouble, yet you still believe in me and are willing to let Miss Sheng and I be together..."

Shen Lingjun gave a forced smile: "We're from the same sect, why are you saying such formal things? Senior brother is getting on in years and still hasn't settled down, and he doesn't have any other relatives, so naturally I have to take extra care of him."

Qi Xuan was so grateful and excited, as if he couldn't wait to marry Sheng Qiongluo. Shen Lingjun couldn't bear to watch.

After sitting for a short while, I got up to take my leave.

The next day, an imperial decree bestowing marriage upon the Sheng family was issued.
