Song Rui looked at Shen Lian worriedly.
“After all, the one who really wants your mother’s life isn’t Minister Shen,” he said meaningfully.
Shen Lian’s expression changed at once.
As if she had thought of something, a hint of hatred flashed across her eyes.
However, it was only for a moment before she returned to normal.
“I will arrange for Mother to leave the capital,” she continued.
Of course, she knew that it was not her father who wanted her mother’s life.
Her father loved her mother very much.
If not, her father would not have brought her mother from Yun Prefecture to the capital, and allowed her mother to stay in the capital for more than ten years.
The one who wanted her mother’s life was Madam Jia.
It must be that Madam Jia. She was afraid that Shen Lian would threaten her position after entering the residence, so she wanted to ger rid of her mother in advance.
Madam Jia had really gone too far!
When he saw Shen Lian’s expression, Song Rui felt very satisfied inwardly.
“Arranging for your mother to leave the capital is not a simple matter. Young Miss, do you have any suitable candidate for the task?11
Shen Lian was taken aback, and a troubled expression appeared on her face.
All these years, she had lived with her mother in the courtyard house arranged by her father. There were only four servants serving them.
This time, her father had sent someone to bring her to live in this manor. Her mother had allowed her to bring one maidservant and one male servant.
After this, she would still need to use these two people. It was not suitable to arrange for them to do this.
Moreover, even if she arranged for them to leave with her mother, her father would definitely notice. If that was the case, it would only backfire.
Song Rui glanced at Shen Lian and smiled inwardly.
However, he didn’t show it on his face and cupped his hands at Shen Lian.
“If Young Miss doesn’t have a suitable candidate, 1 can arrange it for you,” he said.
Shen Lian immediately looked at Song Rui.
Her eyes were filled with joy.
Then, she withdrew her smile.
“Er… Young Master has already helped me a great deal. If you still help to arrange my mother’s matters, will it be…” Shen Lian lowered her head shyly.
When he saw this, Song Rui felt a wave of contempt in his heart.
However, on the surface, he was full of enthusiasm.
“Young Miss’s matter is my matter.
“Moreover, in the future, Young Miss s mother will be my…
“Ahem… In short, if Young Miss hands this matter over to me, I will definitely arrange it properly.”
When Shen Lian heard these words and saw Song Rui’s attitude, her heart thumped so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest.
Lord Song was willing to do so much for her.
In the future, when she had such a talented and doting husband, what else could she ask for?
“Lord Song…” Shen Lian looked at Song Rui with affection.
Song Rui felt a chill in his heart. After exchanging a glance with Shen Lian, he averted his eyes.
Shen Lian thought that Song Rui was embarrassed. She thought that since she and the other party were not married yet, she could not go too far. Thus, she withdrew her affectionate gaze.
“Then I’ll leave this matter to you, Lord Song.” Following that, she bowed courteously to Song Rui.
Song Rui quickly replied that this was his duty.
After comforting Shen Lian, he left.
He left the manor and boarded the horse carriage.
Song Rui’s face immediately clouded over once inside.
He lowered his head and looked at the clothes he was wearing. He couldn’t resist dusting his clothes off a few times.
When he recalled how Shen Lian had touched his clothes, Song Rui reminded himself that he would have to change his clothes when he got back.
At this point, Song Rui still didn’t know that there was someone else waiting for him in his courtyard in the Prime Minister s residence.
That woman was also waiting anxiously for him. She was Sang er, Mrs. Shen’s maidservant.
As soon as he returned to the Prime Minister’s residence and entered his own courtyard, Song Rui saw Sanger, who had been waiting for a long time.
When he saw Sang er looking at him with a gaze similar to Shen Lian’s, Song Rui felt a disgusting chill in his heart again.
He suddenly realized that it was not a pleasant experience for people other than his wife to long for him.
“Lord Song…” Sang er came forward and bowed shyly at Song Rui.
“Miss Sang’er, please don’t stand on ceremony.” Suppressing the disgust in his heart, Song Rui replied with a smile.
“Miss Sang’er, are you looking for me for some matter?”
Sang’er was surprised.
She didn’t expect that Song Rui was in no mood to chat with her at all and would immediately ask about serious matters the moment he arrived.
However, after thinking for a while, Lord Song was someone who was busy with important matters.
When he saw her, he must have thought that something had happened to Mistress. When she considered that he didn’t want to delay important things, she felt more relieved.
“Mm-hmm.” Sang’er nodded.
“Mistress asked Sang’er to invite you, Lord Song. She said that she had something important to discuss with Lord Song.”
Song Rui was stunned.
“Oh? Did Mistress say what is it regarding?” A look of hesitation appeared on his face.
Sang’er smiled.
“No. However, it’s definitely a good thing for you, Lord Song.” She looked at Song Rui with eyes ablaze with emotions.
The Empress had already stood up for Mistress, and now even Master had to give in to Mistress.
The Empress had already informed Mistress of her arrangements, and as Mistress’s personal maid, she knew most of it.
The matter of the Master’s illegitimate daughter entering the residence was inevitable.
However, even if Shen Lian entered the residence, she would still be living under the Mistress’s control.
As long as Mistress was alive, Shen Lian would not be able to do anything.
In addition, Lord Song was not only favored by the Master and Mistress, but even the Empress favored him.
Not only did the Empress promote Lord Song to be an official in the Ministry of Appointments, but she was also prepared to arrange for a young miss from the Jia family to marry Lord Song as a concubine.
Although that girl was only a concubine’s daughter, it was enough to show how highly the Empress and the Jia family regarded Lord Song.
Although she didn’t like the fact that she had to share Lord Song with someone else, she was happy for him.
With the help of the Master, the Empress, and the Jia family, Lord Song’s future would be limitless.
Song Rui glanced at Sang’er.
When he saw that the maidservant was looking at him in an increasingly disrespectful manner, he felt another wave of disgust.
“Hehe! Then Miss Sang Er, please lead the way…” Song Rui said with a smile and gestured forward invitingly.
Sang’er’s pretty face turned red and she led the way.
They went all the way to the back courtyard.
After Sang’er went in to inform her mistress, Song Rui saw Mrs. Shen not long after.
“Song Rui hereby pays his respects to Mistress.” When he saw Mrs. Shen leisurely trimming a ported plant, Song Rui stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
Mrs. Shen turned to look at Song Rui.
“Lord Song, you are here,” she replied with a smile. Then, she handed the gardening shears in her hand to the nanny.
Following that, she walked to the chair and sat down.
After she sat down, she saw Song Rui still standing.
Mrs. Shen smiled and looked at Sang’er. “Invite Lord Song to sit down.”
Sang’er quickly looked at Song Rui.
“Lord Song, please have a seat,” she said with a smile.
Song Rui glanced at Sang’er and then cupped his hands and bowed to Mrs. Shen.
“Thank you, Mistress,” he said.
Thereafter, he did not stand on ceremony and went to sit on the chair.
Mrs. Shen looked at Song Rui’s back profile. After he sat down, she sized him up again.
The more she looked at him, the more pleased she felt.
While regretting her daughter’s lack of taste, she also sighed at the Empress’s good taste.
Song Rui felt a little awkward under Mrs. Shen’s intense gaze.
Just as he was about to ask Mrs. Shen why she was looking for him, Mrs. Shen spoke up.
“Lord Song, thank you for your help in Rong’er’s matter previously.” Mrs. Shen smiled kindly.
“Mistress, you are welcome. I owe Eldest Young Miss a debt of gratitude, so I
feel that it’s only right for me to make a final effort for her..”
