Chapter 372: Bringing Forward The Plan
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Where did she go?
Of course, it was the small courtyard house where she and Song Rui often met up.
Not long after Qin Xiaoyao went to the small courtyard house, Song Rui received a message from Granny Hu.
After learning why his wife was so anxious to see him, Song Rui sighed in his heart. After packing up, he went to meet up with her.
In the small courtyard, Song Rui had just arrived when Qin Xiaoyao pulled him into their room.
Then, before the man could explain, he was dragged away by Qin Xiaoyao for a workout session.
Song Rui could feel his wife’s nervousness and urgency, so he was very obliging and responded enthusiastically.
When everything was over, he endured his fatigue and pulled Qin Xiaoyao into his arms.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao’s irritable mood had calmed down a lot, and her expression also softened.
However, she still remained silent and did not speak.
Song Rui couldn’t bear it anymore and reached out to pinch her face.
“Are you jealous?
“Didn’t I already explain it to you before?
“Getting engaged to Shen Rong is just a stop-gap measure. Your husband has already made arrangements. In the end, I won’t really marry Shen Rong.”
He had indeed made arrangements.
When the time was right, he would let Shen Rong and Meng Xuan fake their deaths and escape.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Song Rui expressionlessly. It was obvious that she was still angry.
“If you were in my shoes… if you see me getting engaged to another man, and we’ll even have a wedding soon, how will you feel?” she replied.
Song Rui was stunned momentarily.
When he thought of that scene, his face immediately darkened.
When Qin Xiaoyao saw this, the corners of her lips finally lifted, but it was a scornful smile.
“See? You can’t accept it either, can you?”
In the past, she thought that she could love her husband more and be more accommodating toward him.
It wasn’t until this incident that she realized that she couldn’t do it.
She would also be calculative and hope that her husband would give her the same amount of love. She hoped that her husband would cherish their relationship and not let their feelings be caught up in any schemes or political machinations.
In reality, she believed her husband when he said that he would arrange everything and not marry Shen Rong.
However, she was still worried and terrified. Moreover, she felt disgusted.
Song Rui was silent.
Qin Xiaoyao’s heart softened again.
“Is revenge really that important? If we abandon everything…”
Before she could finish speaking, Song Rui’s gaze stopped her.
In just a moment, the look in Song Rui’s eyes softened again.
He patted Qin Xiaoyao’s back and said in a low voice, “It’s not that I have to take revenge. It’s just that… you and I are already in a quagmire and can’t get out.”
Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback.
She seemed to have caught something in her mind, but at the same time, she seemed to have caught nothing at all.
Song Rui did not explain further.
Instead, he promised her, “Give me five more days. I will definitely resolve Shen Rong’s matter.”
When she saw his husband’s solemn expression, Qin Xiaoyao could not help but feel a little guilty.
“Are five days enough?” she could not help but ask in a low voice.
At this moment, she actually felt some regret.
She felt that her words just now were actually a little willful.
Her husband was in a perilous predicament in the Prime Minister’s residence. He had already arranged Shen Rong’s matters beforehand, but now he had to change his plans because of her.
If this caused her husband to fall into danger, what should she do?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Qin Xiaoyao wanted to tell him to drop the idea.
However, Song Rui simply smiled.
He patted Qin Xiaoyao’s back again.
“It’s enough. Previously, I didn’t give enough consideration to you. Don’t worry. I will settle this matter within five days.”
His wife was right. If the roles were reversed, he would not be able to stand watching his beloved get engaged to another man.
His wife had already suffered so much for him. How could he let her continue to worry?
He had already made arrangements for Shen Rong and Meng Xuan. All that was missing now was an opportunity.
Previously, he had set the implementation date to be the day he and Shen Rong got married.
Now, he was just bringing forward the timing.
After all, he had already entered the Ministry of Appointments and Prime Minister Shen had already taken him under his wing.
Since it did not affect anything to send Shen Rong and Meng Xuan off earlier, then he would do so earlier.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Song Rui and hesitated for a moment before nodding.
She indeed did not want her husband to continue to be the future son-in-law of the Shen family’s residence.
After leaving the courtyard house and returning to the Prime Minister’s residence, Song Rui went about implementing his plan.
Soon, he found time to meet Shen Rong and Meng Xuan.
Meng Xuan was fine with the new arrangement and quickly agreed to cooperate with Song Rui’s plan.
However, Shen Rong was a little hesitant.
“Are we going to take action in three days? Isn’t it a little too fast?” She thought that she had already made up her mind to go far away with Meng Xuan no matter what happened.
Yet when things had finally progressed to this stage, she became a little afraid.
She was afraid that something would go wrong with the plan and that she would really sever all ties with her father.
“Things may change if we delay. The Prime Minister may attack Young Master Meng at any time. The sooner we act, the safer Young Master Meng will be,” Song Rui said in a low voice.
Shen Rong’s expression changed at once.
“Didn’t 1 already agree to the marriage? Father still wants to take action against Meng Xuan?”
Song Rui frowned.
“It’s precisely because Young Miss agreed to the marriage that Young Master Meng is in more danger.”
As he looked at Shen Rong, Song Rui continued, “Only by completely cutting off Young Miss’s extraneous thoughts will Young Miss get married wholeheartedly. The Prime Minister can then protect the reputation of the Prime Minister’s residence.”
Song Rui then looked at Shen Rong’s tummy.
“Moreover, with Young Miss’s condition, it’s not appropriate to continue delaying.”
Shen Rong shrank back and subconsciously reached out to cover her tummy.
Panic flashed across her eyes.
Then, she calmed herself down and raised her head to look at Song Rui.
Finally, she no longer hesitated and said in a low voice, “Alright.”
Song Rui finally smiled.
“Then please get ready after you go back, Young Miss. Three days later, you will follow the Mistress to Mount Dragon to pray to Buddha,” he said.
Shen Rong nodded.
“Alright.”
After confirming the details with Song Rui, she left.
Song Rui watched as Shen Rong walked away. He looked around to make sure that no one saw him before returning to the courtyard.
Three days passed quickly.
The Prime Minister’s residence dispatched its men early this morning.
The Mistress and the Young Miss of the Prime Minister’s residence were going to the Buddhist Temple on Mount Dragon to pray to Buddha.
As the future son-in-law of the Prime Minister’s residence, Song Rui tagged along.
The group of people went up the mountain without a hitch.
The Mistress retrieved a divination lot for her daughter and went to see the abbot to ask him to decipher the lot.
Thereafter, the Prime Minister’s daughter suddenly disappeared.
After the Mistress found out, she immediately asked Song Rui to look for her.
After a round of searching, the servants of the Prime Minister’s residence finally found the Prime Minister’s daughter on a spot on the mountainside.
What was shocking was that their Young Miss was actually with a scholar.
When she saw her fiance appear, not only did she not let go of the scholar’s hand, but she also glared at Song Rui angrily.
All kinds of expressions swept across the servants’ faces.
An elderly staff from the Prime Minister’s residence had seen Meng Xuan before and had some speculation in his mind.
The new staff did not understand why their Young Miss would abandon such an outstanding future fiance and choose to meet a pauper scholar here.
However, this did not stop the news from spreading quickly.
After a round of Song Rui’s fruitless dissuasion, Mrs. Shen quickly rushed to the scene..
