“This is my first time going to the Prime Minister’s residence. I’m terrified.” When she saw that Song Rui didn’t reply immediately, Shen Lian looked at Song Rui with a pitiful expression.
A trace of hesitation flashed across Song Rui’s face.
“Young Miss, after you please.” He finally consented.
Shen Lian immediately smiled.
She quickly walked towards the horse carriage.
Song Rui followed. As he watched Shen Lian’s back profile, he frowned.
In order to let Song Rui spend more time with Shen Lian, the old fox had only asked the caretaker to arrange for two horse carriages when he came.
One of them had to take Shen Lian’s servants and her luggage.
In fact, even if Shen Lian did not invite him, he would still have to get into Shen Lian’s horse carriage in the end.
However, he would bump into his wife on the road later.
If his wife saw him sitting in the same carriage with another woman, she would probably get angry again.
Suppressing the unwillingness in his heart, Song Rui sighed in his heart again.
Then, he followed Shen Lian.
After getting into the horse carriage, Song Rui realized that Shen Lian was not the only one in the horse carriage. Her maidservant was also in there. Thus, he felt a little more at ease.
Fortunately, this woman still had some sense of propriety and did not act too impudently.
Otherwise, when he met his wife later, it would be even more difficult for him to answer to her.
When the maidservant saw Song Rui get into the horse carriage and sit opposite her and Shen Lian, she looked at her Young Miss cheekily.
Shen Lian glared back at her bashfully.
Thereafter, Shen Lian looked at Song Rui shyly.
“Lord Song…” she called out sweetly. She lowered her head and twisted her embroidered handkerchief.
Song Rui rolled his eyes inwardly.
However, outwardly, he comforted her by saying, “Young Miss, you don’t have to worry. Minister Shen has arranged everything. After entering the residence, Young Miss can settle down with ease of mind.”
Shen Lian nodded.
“On Mrs. Shen’s side…” Thereafter, worry welled up in her eyes.
How could she not be worried?
Mrs. Shen saw her and her mother as a thorn in her side. She had even asked her father to force her mother to end her life.
After she entered the residence, she had to go under Mrs. Shen’s name and become her adopted daughter.
At that point, she would definitely not have an easy time.
Nonetheless, she still had to enter the Prime Minister’s residence.
Only then could she truly become the daughter of the Prime Minister.
Then, she would be able to marry Lord Song in a proper and glorious manner.
When she thought of this, Shen Lian became even more determined.
However, her face still displayed weak frailty, and she looked at Song Rui with a pitiful expression.
“Since Mistress has already agreed to Minister Shen’s request to let Young Miss enter the residence, she will probably not make things too difficult for you, Young Miss,” Song Rui said to comfort her.
She would not make things too difficult, but it didn’t mean she wouldn’t make things difficult.
She would definitely make things difficult. As long as nothing serious happened to the girl, the old fox would only turn a blind eye.
Shen Lian probably knew that Song Rui couldn’t help her, so she didn’t put him in a spot.
However, she still maintained a soft and weak demeanor as she listened to Song Rui’s comforting words.
Song Rui was already extremely frustrated, but when he thought about how his wife was waiting for him on the way, he still played his part patiently.
The horse carriage traveled all the way and finally passed through a mountain valley.
Suddenly, six masked mountain bandits with weapons in their hands blocked the path of the two horse carriages.
The leader of the mountain bandits placed the iron hammer in his hand arrogantly in the middle of the road, blocking half of the road.
“1 opened up this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass through, leave behind money to pay for your way out!” the bandit leader shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Song Rui almost burst out laughing.
Needless to say, he knew that these words were taught by his wife.
This was because his wife had told him beforehand.
“Lord Song…” Shen Lian was scared out of her wits, however. Her beautiful face turned pale as she looked at Song Rui nervously.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll go down and take a look first,” Song Rui said in a deep voice.
“My lord, you mustn’t,” Shen Lian hurriedly said. She was afraid that Song Rui would be in danger.
Song Rui turned to look at Shen Lian.
“Don’t worry. 1 know what to do,” he said.
Then, he got off the horse carriage without looking back.
After alighting from the carriage, he realized that the people in the carriage in front were already on the ground before him.
Moreover, because of the unsuccessful negotiation with the mountain bandits, those people had already been captured by two mountain bandits.
One of the mountain bandits was clamoring for the mountain bandit leader to give the order to search the carriage when he suddenly saw Song Rui alighting from the carriage behind.
The mountain bandit’s eyes were filled with shock, and he instantly believed his vice-captain’s words.
The vice-captain had told them before they set off that they were pretending to be bandits so that their leader could save the beauty in distress.
They were told that there was a peerless handsome man among the people they would be robbing.
He didn’t believe it back then.
However, now, he believed it totally.
This man was simply… too good-looking, wasn’t he? He was even more handsome than that fellow with their leader, Young Master Liu.
Poor Young Master Liu. If the leader’s wish came true this time, he would probably be replaced very soon.
“Hey! There is a gigolo here! Leader!” The mountain bandit did not lament for long in his heart. He quickly got into character and called out to the mountain bandit leader.
When the mountain bandit leader and the others heard this, they immediately followed the mountain bandit’s gaze and saw Song Rui.
Following that, everyone was shocked.
After exchanging looks with one another, they finally understood.
Their leader had really good taste.
Song Rui frowned when he heard the mountain bandits’ words.
Hmph! Gigolo…
“All the valuables in the carriage can be yours. You are only seeking wealth. Can you let my two servants and me go?” Song Rui walked to the front and cupped his hands at the bandits.
As he got closer, the mountain bandits saw Song Rui’s face more clearly.
The admiration in their eyes deepened.
Their leader’s eyes were indeed sharp.
This guy was indeed more good-looking than Young Master Liu.
After looking at him, the mountain bandits turned to look at the mountain bandit leader. They were prepared to listen to the mountain bandit leader’s orders.
“Who said we only want money? The person is not bad too, isn’t he?” The bandit leader suppressed the awkwardness in his heart and tried his best to put on a lecherous expression as he looked at Song Rui.
As soon as he said this, all the mountain bandits cast odd looks at the mountain bandit leader.
Two of them could not help but take a step away from him. It was as if they were afraid that they would become his target.
The bandit leader… Oh, he was Huang Fei. He only felt a wave of chilly disgust in his heart.
He wasn’t interested in men who were hard and stiff, alright?
No matter how good-looking he was, he was still a man.
If it wasn’t for Leader’s sake, he would never do such a thing.
When he thought of this, Huang Fei suppressed his discomfort again.
He even started taunting Song Rui.
The more he listened, the more ominous Song Rui’s expression became.
As he endured the humiliation, he secretly decided that when this matter was over, he would definitely have to get his wife to “commend” this person well.
When Huang Fei felt that his performance was done sufficiently, he finally ordered the bandits to kidnap Song Rui.
“Wait…” At this moment, a female voice rang out from the horse carriage behind.
All the mountain bandits looked in that direction.
They saw Shen Lian and her maidservant alighting from the horse carriage.
Upon seeing them, that delicate young lady was clearly very afraid, but she still braced herself, straightened her back, and walked over.
At this moment, Huang Fei’s mind was blown.
He finally realized that he had taunted the wrong person just now.
His leader asked him to pretend to be a mountain bandit and rob the convoy halfway. Not only did he have to rob money, but he also had to rob the beauty.
She also said that there was a very good-looking man in the horse carriage.
He thought…
Motherfucker! This time, he had really embarrassed himself no end!
