Chapter 80

He knew that Liu Manman had moved out of the Yongning Marquis's residence, but he did not stop her. He even told the servants not to bother with her and to leave if she wanted to.

Anyway, this wasn't the first time Liu Manman had threatened to run away from home. He was already impatient the first time, and she was using the same trick again the second time. I thought he would take it seriously.

When Grandma Qin arrived, she saw Qin Shaoze's head injury and felt sorry for him.

"Shaoze, does your head still hurt?... Sigh! This Liu Shi, I thought she was kind-hearted because she could heal the sick and save lives, but I never expected... It's really chilling to think about! She could be so cruel to a three-year-old child! And she's so ruthless to her own husband!"

As soon as Grandma Qin arrived, she also pinned the blame on Liu Manman.

She came to persuade Qin Shaoze, but she had no intention of clearing Liu Manman's name.

Qin Shaoze's face was gloomy, and he did not reply.

Liu Manman's actions indeed angered and disgusted him. His initial suspicion of her had now grown to seven-tenths.

If she is truly innocent, shouldn't she defend herself?

All she does is cry, yell and scream, throw things at him, and try to run away from home.

Isn't this a sign of a guilty conscience?

Old Mrs. Qin sighed and advised, "But you can't really just ignore her. After all, she is the wife of the Marquis's family, and she has no family to return to. How can a woman be left to wander outside? If she causes any scandal, it will be the Marquis's family that loses face."

Qin Shaoze remained silent, and Old Madam Qin continued, "Moreover, most of our household's expenses are covered by her dowry. With the twelfth lunar month fast approaching, once she leaves, we ourselves will face difficulties."

Qin Shaoze was well aware of all this, but he was angry and didn't want to compromise immediately like last time and go find Liu Manman to bring her back.

She should be left out in the cold for a while, ignored, so she knows she has no right to act willfully and throw a tantrum in the Marquis's mansion!

Qin Shaoze frowned and said, "It's not like the manor is completely broke. If we're frugal, we can manage for a while. We'll talk about it again soon, around the New Year. If we give in to her so early, she'll become even more arrogant and lawless."

Grandma Qin felt that what he said made sense, so she reluctantly agreed, but she disliked the phrase "frugal living".

She felt like the whole world owed her something if she missed out on even one day of happiness.

But it's worth it to hold back now, just to teach Liu Manman a lesson and make it easier to control this daughter-in-law in the future.

So the Marquis's mansion simply let Liu Manman, his concubine, move out without any further reaction.

......

The first day of the twelfth lunar month.

Shen Lingjun took her two children out to buy New Year's goods, and they didn't return to Yufei Courtyard until evening, carrying large and small bags.

Shen Lingjun was still tidying up when he heard Qin Jianxi call out naturally, "Godfather!"

Shen Lingjun turned her head sharply and saw Mo Zhonggui standing at the door of her room, leaning lazily against the door frame.

Mo Zhonggui praised Qin Jianxi, saying, "Not bad, this time you knew to greet people first."

When Shen Lingjun saw Mo Chonggui, she remembered the last time she had gone to the Mo residence, and she still felt a chill run down her spine.

"Chief Supervisor Mo... what brings you here?"

Mo Zhonggui looked at her with a half-smile: "Did you come to see if you're keeping vigil as a widow today?"

Shen Lingjun: "..."

Qin Chuyao looked at Mo Zhonggui curiously: "Godfather, do you want my mother to remain a widow?"

Mo Zhonggui: "Yes, I like widows."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

enough!

What an insane conversation!
