Of course, she was displeased, even though she believed that Song Rui was the top scorer because of his own ability.
However, the Prime Minister s residence also contributed a lot.
At the very least, her father had arranged for people to spread the poems that Song Rui wrote.
Song Ruirs rise to fame in the past two days was due in no small part to the help rendered by the Prime Minister’s residence.
However, when she thought about how her Meng Xuan couldn’t even participate in the exam, much less get a ranking, she was very resentful.
Why did Father have to go against the Meng family and insist on making things difficult for Meng Xuan?
Meng Xuan was very talented. If he could participate in this talent recruitment examination, he would definitely be able to get a good ranking!
Everything that happened was too unfair!
Song Rui glanced at Shen Rong and cupped his hands at her.
“I didn’t expect the Prime Minister to arrange for someone to stand guard outside the examination hall. It was my oversight.
“But now that the talent recruitment examination has ended, the outcome cannot be changed.
“I’m afraid Young Miss and Young Master Meng can only make other plans.”
Shen Rung’s expression changed at once.
“What other plans? If he can’t participate in the talent recruitment examination, how can he embark on an official’s career?” she asked in a tense voice.
That was right. She was angry with the person in front of her.
Just before the talent recruitment examination, she had already discovered that she was pregnant.
At that point, after discussing with Meng Xuan, her original plan was to confess to her father.
She hoped that her father would accept Meng Xuan for the sake of the child in her tummy.
However, after the person in front of her found out about this, he dissuaded her.
Song Rui told them to wait until after the talent recruitment examination when Meng Xuan got a good ranking before telling her father the news.
At that point, the possibility of her father accepting Meng Xuan would be even greater. And he would also not punish her too much.
She and Meng Xuan believed in Song Rui wholeheartedly, so they agreed to his plan.
However, the result was that her Meng Xuan couldn’t even enter the examination hall.
Song Rui, on the other hand, had used her father’s influence to become the top scorer in the examination. Now, he had become a famous figure in the capital’s literary world.
At this moment, not only her father, but her mother had also changed her attitude towards Song Rui.
She couldn’t help but worry if Song Rui had other thoughts about her or the Prime Minister’s residence.
Song Rui’s expression did not change when he heard Shen Rong’s words.
“Based on the current situation, as long as the Prime Minister is around, Young Master Meng will not be able to make a name for himself.”
When he saw Shen Rong looking at him, Song Rui continued, “Previously, in order to allow Young Master Meng to successfully take the examination, I have done everything that I should and shouldn’t have done. The Prime Minister wasn’t completely unaware.”
Shen Rong was surprised.
Song Rui sighed and continued, “Actually, on the first day of the talent recruitment examination, the Prime Minister summoned me to the study and told me about Young Master Meng.”
Shen Rong’s face turned pale.
“At that time, the Prime Minister warned me not to get involved in Young Master Meng’s matters anymore.11
“And he even said…”
“What else did he say?” Shen Rong asked anxiously.
Song Rui looked at Shen Rong awkwardly.
“He even said that if 1 continued to get involved, something might happen to Young Master Meng.
“Moreover, even without me, Young Master Meng would still not be able to become the Prime Minister’s son-in-law.”
Shen Rong’s body suddenly swayed.
Song Rui reached out with his hand, and she evade his touch slightly to stabilize herself.
Song Rui withdrew his hand and looked at Shen Rong worriedly.
“For the sake of Young Master Meng’s safety, and also my fear that you would act impulsively if you found out about this, I only told Young Master Meng about this matter.”
Shen Rong’s expression changed immediately.
“Meng Xuan knows…” Her voice sounded a little hoarse when she uttered the last word.
No wonder when Meng Xuan missed the exam, he kept telling her not to act rashly and even told her to listen to Song Rui.
So, this was the reason?
Not only did Father harm the entire Meng family, but he also wanted to make a move on Meng Xuan now?
Song Rui nodded with a troubled look.
Shen Rong stumbled again.
She held onto the trunk of a big tree beside her and stabilized herself again.
Song Rui looked on worriedly.
“Young Miss, you should take care of yourself. Even if it’s not for your own sake, you have to take care of…” He looked at Shen Rong’s lower abdomen as he spoke.
Shen Rong’s expression changed drastically, and she subconsciously covered her abdomen with her hand.
Following that, she looked at Song Rui in disbelief.
“You are aware…” she said with some panic.
Only Li er and Meng Xuan knew that she was pregnant.
Li’er would never tell Song Rui the secret.
So, Meng Xuan told Song Rui about this?
This matter concerned her reputation and chastity! Meng Xuan actually trust this person to this extent?
Song Rui nodded.
“Young Master Meng is my good friend. Since he trusts me, you can trust me too, Young Miss,” he said sincerely.
Shen Rong’s expression froze momentarily.
When he saw this, Song Rui’s expression relaxed a little.
“Furthermore, Young Miss has saved my life and helped me. 1 am grateful and I just want to repay you.”
Shen Rong looked at Song Rui for a moment before finally nodding.
“I lost my composure just now. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you. Young Master Song.”
However, Song Rui’s expression was gentle.
“Young Miss, you are just anxious. It’s understandable,” he replied.
Shen Rong smiled in embarrassment.
Then, she asked anxiously, “Since Meng Xuan trusts you, Young Master Song, 1 will trust you too. In your opinion, what should Meng Xuan and 1 do next?”
Her father had already said that he was going to endanger Meng Xuan’s life.
Right now, she had to be extremely careful when she acted.
Song Rui looked at Shen Rong.
Under Shen Rong’s anxious gaze, he was silent for a moment. After hesitating for awhile, he finally spoke.
“Actually, I have been thinking about this for the past few days.”
“Well?” Shen Rong quickly asked. It was as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving buoy.
Song Rui hesitated again.
Just as Shen Rong was about to ask again, he finally said, “Before 1 tell you my plan, 1 would like to ask you a question. Young Miss.”
“What is it?” Shen Rong frowned.
“Are you truly sincere in your feelings toward Young Master Meng?”
Shen Rong became furious.
“Or should I say, how devoted is Young Miss toward Young Master Meng?
“If Young Master Meng is unable to become an official in this lifetime and can only be an ordinary person, and in fact, he might even live a very miserable life, are you still willing to follow Young Master Meng?
“What’s more, after Young Miss leaves with Young Master Meng, you will never be able to see the Prime Minister and Mistress again. Are you still willing to follow him, Young Miss?” Song Rui continued.
Shen Rong’s expression changed drastically.
She thought for a while.
“I’m willing.
“As long as I can be with Meng Xuan, I can give up all the fame and fortune.”
As she spoke, Shen Rong caressed her belly.
“As for Father and Mother, Father is the Prime Minister and holds a high position with great power. Mother has Father to take care of her. Even if I’m not by their side, they can still live well…”
As for Meng Xuan, he had only her and the child. She could not abandon him.
Song Rui’s eyes flickered.
Shen Rong’s decision was just as he and Meng Xuan had expected.
Then, he told Shen Rong about his plan.
Shen Rong was shocked after listening to him.
“Will this… really work?” she said with some doubt.
Song Rui nodded.
“This is the strategy I thought of after much consideration..”
