Chapter 276
Shen Lingjun felt a headache coming on as soon as she heard this.
She's living a wonderful life as a widow now. The entire Yongning Marquis's mansion belongs to her, and she's in charge of everything, doing whatever she wants.
She'd be crazy to remarry and jump into another fire pit!
But why would Mo Zhonggui suddenly bring this up?
Does he also want to introduce her to potential partners?
This is none of his business, is it?
Shen Lingjun immediately chuckled dryly and stated her position: "Chief Mo, a good woman does not marry twice. I have already been married once and have a son and a daughter. I am currently observing mourning for my deceased husband. My heart is as cold as ashes. I will never marry a second time. For the rest of my life, I only want to stay in the Yongning Marquis's mansion and raise my two children to adulthood. I have no other thoughts."
She's wearing mourning clothes right now.
She observed mourning for Qin Shaoze willingly and with great joy.
Mo Zhonggui acted as if she hadn't heard what she said at all.
"You owe me so much kindness, what's the use of just saying thank you? Now you are a widow and I am unmarried. If you are truly sincere in repaying this debt, then marry me. It would be perfect for the Shen family and the Eastern Depot to form an alliance through marriage, which would make our alliance even stronger."
Shen Lingjun: "......??!"
What did she hear?
Was she hallucinating?
Mo Chonggui wants her to marry him?!
What an unfamiliar, niche language!
Does he even know what he's saying?
Shen Lingjun was struck as if by a bolt of lightning, leaving her stunned and speechless, her jaw nearly dropping to the floor.
It took her a long time to finally manage to pick up her voice, which trembled as she spoke with difficulty:
"Master Mo...Master Mo...are you joking?"
Mo Zhonggui looked at her: "Do I look like I'm joking?"
...It certainly doesn't look like it.
But how could he possibly have such a thought!
Shen Lingjun stammered, "But... why would you want to marry me...?"
Although it wasn't unheard of for eunuchs to marry in history, she never imagined that Mo Chonggui would actually want to marry her!
Didn't they still have a grudge against each other? Although she never knew what that grudge was, he sometimes seemed to hate her, so why did he marry her in the first place?
Is it so that he can torment her more easily after marrying her?
As for that!
Mo Zhonggui raised an eyebrow slightly: "Why not? Didn't you swear that you were mine? I'm also the godfather of your two children. If the godfather becomes the stepfather, it's like strengthening family ties, isn't that perfect?"
Shen Lingjun: "..."
What's so good about it? What's so great about it?!
Mo Chonggui continued, speaking with great conviction:
"When you were in mourning for your father and brothers, dressed in white, Qin Shaoze gave you an imperial decree saying he wanted to marry a concubine. Now that you are wearing this mourning clothes for Qin Shaoze, and someone tells you they want to marry you, don't you think this is a good cycle of karma, the best reward for Qin Shaoze?"
Shen Lingjun: "..."
That seems to make a lot of sense.
—That makes absolutely no sense!
She wanted to get revenge on Qin Shaoze, but she had no other way. Why did she have to sacrifice the rest of her life to get revenge on him?
Shen Lingjun really didn't know how to reply to Mo Zhonggui.
She had repeatedly said that she came to thank Mo Zhonggui sincerely, but when Mo Zhonggui asked for something he wanted, which she was willing to give, she backed down.
His face was slapped repeatedly.
She knew this was unreasonable, but she really couldn't just agree to marry Mo Zhonggui.
This is outrageous and bizarre!
After struggling for a long time, Shen Lingjun had no choice but to resort to delaying tactics:
"Well... I appreciate Chief Eunuch Mo's kindness, but you see, I've only been widowed for a few months and am still in mourning. There's no way I could remarry now, or I'd be drowned in the spittle of the entire capital. How about... we wait until after the three-year mourning period?"
Thank you, Qin Shaoze! He became her shield!
Perhaps Mo Chonggui wasn't serious; he was just teasing her on a whim. Three years later, he might have completely forgotten about it.
Mo Zhonggui looked at her with a half-smile: "Alright, that makes sense. Then I'll wait for you for three years, and we'll get married in three years."
Shen Lingjun: "..."
She said she'd talk about it in three years, not that she'd get married in three years!
It doesn't seem like Mo Zhonggui would give up so easily!
But since she's already gotten away with it, she can deal with the future later. Shen Lingjun doesn't want to be in front of Mo Zhonggui for even a moment longer.
"Well... Chief Supervisor Mo, I'll take my leave now..."
She left the Mo residence as if she were fleeing.
Mo Zhonggui watched her back from behind, his eyes still smiling, but deeper within that smile was a deep darkness, like an undercurrent surging silently.
......
Shen Lingjun returned to the Yongning Marquis's residence, locked herself in her room, and still couldn't calm down; her heart was pounding wildly.
Mo Zhonggui's actions today truly caught her completely off guard.
To be fair, her opinion of Mo Zhonggui has improved considerably now.
At first, she was very afraid of him, as if she were instinctively afraid of her natural enemy. In front of him, she was often so intimidated that she dared not move or utter a sound.
As they spent more time together, she gradually got used to it, but she remained silent even when he occasionally revealed his murderous intent.
Mo Zhonggui helped her and the Shen family a lot. To her, he is now a reliable ally and a fairly decent godfather to her two children.
But she never considered their relationship as a marriage possibility. Mo Chonggui's previous statement that he wanted to keep her in the Mo family mansion as a plaything was perverse, but it made her feel that it was more realistic.
Shen Lingjun tried to imagine what it would be like if she married Mo Zhonggui.
As a result, once this imagination was unleashed, it was as if it had been burned by fire, and it immediately retracted.
Shen Lingjun's face burned, and she had to quickly find a cup of tea to drink down her throat and calm herself down.
I can't bear to think about it! I really can't bear to think about it!
