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

Chapter 81

Shen Lingjun forced a dry laugh and quickly changed the subject: "Chief Supervisor Mo, thank you for the Crimson Serpent you gave to Yao'er and Xi'er. Someone in the Marquis's mansion tried to poison Yao'er, but thanks to the Crimson Serpent, that person was bitten to death."

Mo Zhonggui suppressed the smile in his eyes: "I've heard about this. Was it the old lady of the Marquis's mansion who did it?"

Shen Lingjun said, "The dead can't testify, but I guess so."

Mo Zhonggui said casually, "Do you want me to take care of that old woman?"

The tone was as if he were merely brushing a speck of dust off his sleeve.

Shen Lingjun politely declined: "Thank you, Chief Eunuch Mo, but I have my own plans and will definitely not let anything happen to the two children."

She was quite surprised that Mo Zhonggui would offer to help. You see, he had always seemed to be watching the show with an unpredictable and moody attitude, and had never directly expressed any intention to help.

Shen Lingjun believed that with Mo Zhonggui's abilities, she could make Old Madam Qin die silently and without any suspicion, but she had a feeling that Mo Zhonggui's favors were not so easy to owe.

She should do what she can do herself.

Mo Zhonggui didn't mind. He waved his hand, and a young woman dressed in a tight-fitting outfit walked out from behind him.

"Her name is Wang Jin. She will stay with you from now on and will be responsible for protecting my adopted son and daughter, as well as teaching them martial arts."

Wang Jin has a delicate and pretty appearance, and her figure is even somewhat thin, but an expert can tell at a glance that she is definitely exceptionally skilled.

Wang Jin bowed to Shen Lingjun: "Greetings, Madam Shen."

This time, Shen Lingjun did not refuse.

She only has Red Dragonfly as her subordinate, who knows martial arts, and she has too many things to do to keep her busy.

Normally, Pink Butterfly is sent to accompany Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi, but Pink Butterfly is just a weak little girl who can only take care of two children at most. When danger comes, she is not as useful as the two red dragon snakes.

Moreover, Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi already have a tutor, but finding a master to teach them martial arts is not easy.

Shen Lingjun hoped that his two children would learn martial arts. It would be good to have an extra skill. Even if they weren't very powerful, it would increase their chances of self-protection in dangerous situations.

Mo Chonggui seemed to genuinely regard the twins as his adopted son and daughter; the people he sent were definitely not wrong.

Shen Lingjun said politely, "Miss Wang, I'll be troubling you a lot with my children from now on."

Wang Jin remained expressionless: "Madam Shen, just call me Wang Jin. My surname isn't Wang; my given name is Wang Jin, the same as Wang Jinshe (the snake in the Chinese idiom)."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

He glanced at Mo Zhonggui.

It certainly sounds like the names he would give to his subordinates.

Shen Lingjun had someone arrange accommodation for Wang Jin, right next to Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi's room.

He also sent the two children with him so that they could get to know this guard and master.

Mo Chonggui gazed leisurely at Shen Lingjun: "I brought someone over, isn't Madam Shen going to thank me?"

Shen Lingjun quickly bowed to him: "Thank you, Chief Eunuch Mo, for your concern for Yao'er and Xi'er. It is truly a blessing for them to have you as their godfather."

Her attitude was very sincere, but Mo Zhonggui was clearly not satisfied.

"Just saying thank you is not enough? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Shen Lingjun said with a forced smile, "Is there anything I can do for Chief Eunuch Mo?"

She was very reluctant to ask this question because she knew without even thinking that what Mo Zhonggui had asked her to do was definitely not a good thing, but she had no choice but to ask.

Mo Zhonggui said, word by word, "Help me make Feather Sinking Poison, a more potent one than the existing ones, the kind with no antidote."

Shen Lingjun was startled.

Feather Poison?
