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

Chapter 72

When I met her ten years ago, she was a pure and kind young girl who had only been studying medicine for a few years. She was able to save a critically injured person from the brink of death.

Her gentle smile, in his eyes, was like the only ray of light in the world.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

It was this pure, soft white light that was dragged into a bottomless abyss of quagmire.

Take him to where he is.

He ravaged her, ravaged her, destroyed her, devoured her... turning her into someone like him, stained with blood and steeped in darkness.

Mo Zhonggui's hand landed on Shen Lingjun's face again.

He gently stroked the red mark on her chin where he had pinched her earlier, the movement tender and ambiguous, yet chilling.

"Fine, I'll wait and see you become a widow."

......

When Shen Lingjun came out of the Mo residence, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

It felt like I had taken a trip through real hell and come out with it.

My legs felt weak, and my feet felt like they were floating.

The carriage from the Yongning Marquis's residence was still waiting at the entrance of the Mo residence. Originally, Qin Shaoze had expected that this carriage would never see her again.

A cold smile appeared in Shen Lingjun's eyes.

I'm going to disappoint Qin Shaoze.

Shen Lingjun got into the carriage, feeling completely drained and unwilling to move. He just lay there until they arrived at the Yongning Marquis's residence.

As soon as she entered, she ran into Qin Shaoze, who had just returned to the mansion.

When Qin Shaoze saw Shen Lingjun, his expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost!

She... how did she come back?

And it looks perfectly fine, without a single problem!

Mo Zhonggui didn't do anything to her?

Seeing Qin Shaoze's stunned expression, Shen Lingjun sneered inwardly and walked towards him.

"What's wrong, Lord Marquis? Why do you look so surprised?"

Qin Shaoze quickly composed himself and tried his best to appear normal.

"It's nothing... Madam is back, she should be alright, right? Has Chief Eunuch Mo given you any trouble?"

He didn't understand. Hadn't Mo Chonggui taken a liking to Shen Lingjun? Why would he let her leave?

Shen Lingjun said nonchalantly, "No, I gave him the gift that the Marquis had prepared. He accepted it without saying anything, and then I came back."

Qin Shaoze was puzzled. Could it be that Mo Chonggui had lost interest in Shen Lingjun again?

He simply said, "It's good that you're alright. I hope that Chief Eunuch Mo will stop targeting the Marquis's residence in the future."

Regardless, he offered the person up, even though Mo Zhonggui didn't want him. But you should be able to feel his sincerity, right?

Shen Lingjun felt utterly disgusted by Qin Shaoze's hypocritical act and didn't want to say anything more to him, so she returned to her own Yufei Courtyard.

That very day, Shen Lingjun sent Hong Qing to secretly add the Huahun Powder she had already prepared to the incense burner in Qin Shaoze's room.

Once the incense is lit, it will dissipate and evaporate, leaving no trace afterwards.

Qin Shaoze is a martial artist. If the mixed powder enters his body, it will gradually cause his martial arts to show abnormalities within three months to half a year.

As a military officer, he must have often had to fight with others. Swords and blades have no eyes, and if his skills go awry or something unexpected happens, he could easily lose his life.

Most importantly, this way, suspicion won't fall on her.

Shen Lingjun hadn't taken action against Qin Shaoze before because if Qin Shaoze died when Qin Xuanrui was still the heir apparent, the title of Marquis of Yongning would fall to Qin Xuanrui.

Now that Qin Chuyao has regained his position as heir apparent, she has nothing left to worry about.

She's already said she wants to remain a widow, how can she let Mo Zhonggui down?
