Song Rui seemed to have already guessed her thoughts. He turned his body to the side and blocked the door.

When she saw this, Sang’er’s expression stiffened.

“Miss Sang’er, why are you looking for me?” Song Rui asked Sang’er with a smile.

Sang’er instantly forgot about feeling upset when she saw his beautiful face.

She forced herself to look away before she remembered her purpose for coming here.

Following that, worry swept over Sang’er’s whole face.

“In the afternoon, Lord Jia sent someone to talk to Mistress. He said that you went to Lord Jia’s residence to break off the betrothal with Miss Qi’er.”

Song Rui frowned.

Thereafter, he nodded.

When she saw this, Sang’er was secretly delighted, but at the same time, she looked even more anxious.

“Lord Song, why did you do this? Mistress had to beg Lord Jia for a long time before she was able to get him to agree to give Young Miss Qi’er to you.”

Although she didn’t want Lord Song to take Miss Qi’er as his concubine, she knew that if Lord Song didn’t take Miss Qi’er, he wouldn’t be considered a part of the Jia family.

When that happened, the cooperation between Lord Song and Mistress would not be easy to achieve.

And Sang’er would not be able to follow Lord Song.

Song Rui immediately looked at Sang’er with some displeasure in his eyes.

Sang’er’s heart skipped a beat. She was a little frightened by his expression.

She subconsciously lowered her head.

After a while, Song Rui spoke, “I have my own difficulties regarding this matter.”

“Lord Song, what difficulties do you have?” Upon hearing this, Sang’er seemed to have forgotten her fear and raised her head to look at Song Rui.

When she saw that Song Rui’s gaze had softened, her pretty face immediately turned red.

“Mistress thinks very highly of you, Lord Song. Why don’t you tell Mistress your difficulties? Mistress will definitely be able to help you, Lord Song,” Sang’er said as she avoided Song Rui’s gaze.

Song Rui’s eyes flickered.

Then, he let out a long sigh.

“Please thank Mistress for her kind intentions. However, this time, 1 can only let Mistress down,” he said.

When Sang’er heard this, she thought, “This is bad.”

She couldn’t care less about feeling shy anymore and looked at Song Rui again.

“Lord Song, if you have any difficulties, why don’t you tell me? At least 1 can go back and report to Mistress, to give her an answer.”

A trace of hesitation flashed across Song Rui’s eyes.

Sang’er was extremely nervous when she noticed that.

She was about to persuade Song Rui again when Song Rui sighed and finally spoke at last.

“It is not my wish to approach the Jia family to break off the betrothal. It’s the Prime Minister’s order.”

Sang’er was shocked.

“When I went there back then, caretaker Han was with me,” Song Rui continued.

“Therefore, I have no choice but to say such a thing and end up offending Lord Jia and his family.

“And now, the offense has been committed. I know 1 have let Mistress down.

How can I still bring myself to see Mistress?”

As he spoke, Song Rui looked at Sang’er with a reluctant expression.

“Let’s just forget what has been agreed with Mistress previously,” he said meaningfully.

Sang’er’s heart felt like it had been hit hard, and her face instantly turned pale.

“Lord Song, please don’t be anxious.

“Since there are unspoken reasons behind this matter, there is inevitably no room for a turnaround.

“When Sang’er goes back to report to Mistress, Mistress will definitely be able to mediate between you and Lord Jia.

“Lord Song, please don’t be discouraged yet.”

Song Rui was stunned. A look of hesitation flashed across his eyes.

“But… the Prime Minister does not like me to be on good terms with Lord Jia.

Since I already know his intentions, if I still continue in this fashion…”

“Lord Song, you’re wrong,” Sang’er hurriedly interrupted Song Rui.

When she saw Song Rui looking at her in surprise, Sang’er quickly bowed to Song Rui courteously.

Then, she continued, “Although Master has the intention to nurture Lord Song, he is extremely selfish. He wants to control you, Lord Song.

“If Lord Song completely obeys Master’s orders, I’m afraid…” Sang’er did not finish the rest of her sentence.

When Song Rui heard this, his face clouded over.

“Afraid of what?”

Sang’er glanced at Song Rui and continued, “I’m afraid that even if you are able to rise very smoothly to the top with the support of Master, you will never be free, Lord Song. You will be controlled by Master for the rest of your life and be a slave for the Shen family.”

Song Rui’s eyes flickered.

A moment later, his eyes were filled with displeasure as he looked at Sang’er.

“How dare a mere servant like you slander Minister Shen,” he reprimanded.

Sang’er glanced at Song Rui. Not only was she not afraid, but she also bowed to him again.

“Your servant is not slandering Minister Shen but thinking for Lord Song wholeheartedly.

“Lord Song, do you know that Master not only has illegitimate daughters but also an illegitimate son?”

A look of surprise flashed across Song Rui’s eyes.

Sang’er then continued, “Master knows that Mistress will only allow him to bring illegitimate daughters into the residence, but she will never allow illegitimate sons.

“So, he already arranged for his illegitimate son to be adopted under the name of the Shen family through his cousin.

“Master thought that he had done it without anyone knowing, but in fact, Mistress had always known.

“It’s just that due to their relationship as husband and wife, and the fact that Master didn’t go too far, Mistress didn’t make a move on that illegitimate son.

“But now, because of Young Miss, although Mistress and Master still maintained a peaceful relationship on the surface, their relationship has completely broken down.

“Yesterday, Mistress received news that not only did Master want to bring Shen Lian into the residence, but he also made arrangements for that illegitimate son.”

“Lord Song…” Sang’er looked at Song Rui with an emotionally-charged expression.

“Master said that he wants to nurture you and even let you take over his position in the future. But you mustn’t take it seriously!

“The real purpose of Master supporting you is to divert the attention of Mistress and the Jia family, and then secretly support his illegitimate son.

“In the future, when that day comes, Master will use your shortcomings to threaten you. I’m afraid you can only be manipulated by him to serve and support that illegitimate son.”

Song Rui’s expression changed at once.

“Is that true?” he asked Sang’er anxiously.

“Mm-hmm.” Sang’er nodded earnestly.

Afraid that Song Rui wouldn’t believe her, she added, “1 personally heard that person report to Mistress.”

Song Rui frowned, then he lowered his eyes in hesitation.

After a while, he finally looked at Sang’er again.

“Since that’s the case, then you should go back and check with Mistress.

“If Mistress can really mediate and help me reconcile with Lord Jia, 1 will naturally help Mistress solve problems at the appropriate time.”

These words were relatively clear.

Song Rui was willing to cooperate with Mrs. Shen.

Sang’er was overjoyed when she heard that.

“Yes, Sir. Sang’er will go back and report to Mistress now!” she said happily.

“Mm-hmm.” Song Rui smiled and nodded.

Sang’er smiled shyly and bowed to Song Rui courteously before quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Song Rui watched Sang’er until she vanished.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared.

There was no doubt that he believed Mrs. Shen would plead with Jia Kun for him.

He just didn’t know if Jia Kun would really forgive him.

After all, it was rumored that Jia Kun was quite a petty character.

After sighing in his heart, Song Rui closed the door and returned to his room.

He decided not to think about anything else. It was better to sleep early so that he could meet his wife tomorrow in high spirits.

The next day, Song Rui got up early and tidied himself up before leaving the Prime Minister’s residence.

After circling around the streets twice, he went to the small courtyard.

When he arrived, Qin Xiaoyao was already waiting for him.

When the couple met, they naturally couldn’t resist having a round of lovey-dovey actions.

After that, they quickly got down to business..
