Chapter 379 379 break

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao felt relieved.

After asking the two of them some questions with concern, they left.

That night.

Song Rui, who had been away for more than two days, finally rushed back to the prime minister’s mansion overnight.

Shen Xiang’s study room.

After listening to Song Rui’s report, Prime Minister Shen’s face sank like water.

“Are you sure, are they really Shen Rong and Meng Xuan?” After a long while, he asked wearily.

Although he hated Shen Rong for ruining the reputation of the prime minister’s mansion, which made him a laughing stock all over the capital.

But Shen Rong was his daughter after all, and he still felt heavy when he heard the news that she had died.

Song Rui was in a panic all over, with a sad expression on his face.

“It’s confirmed, it’s undoubtedly the eldest lady and Mr. Meng.” Immediately, he saluted Prime Minister Shen and said sadly.

Seeing this, Shen Xiang waved his hand wearily.

“Let’s bury it.” Then he said.

Song Rui was taken aback.

“My lord, don’t you want to go and see for yourself?” Then asked.

“Looking at it will add to the sadness, so let’s not go!” Shen Xiang replied with his head down.

Immediately, without waiting for Song Rui to speak again, Prime Minister Shen said again: “Release the news, it is said that Rong’er contracted a serious illness and died suddenly. Three days later, the prime minister’s mansion will be mourned.”

Song Rui had another meal.

“Yes!” Then he saluted and responded.

“Go down.” Shen Xiang finally waved to Song Rui.

“Yes.” Song Rui then exited the room.

Looking back at the quiet study room, Song Rui’s eyes moved, and then left Xiang Shen’s yard.

As a result, after returning to his yard, someone came to him.

The person who came was Sang’er, the eldest maid in Mrs. Shen’s yard.

“Sang’er has met Mr. Song!” The big maid stepped forward, and Yingying saluted Song Rui.

“Miss Sang’er is free.” Song Rui said quickly.

“I don’t know if the girl is here, why?” Then, she asked knowingly.

Ms. Shen is arrogant, and her subordinates also think highly of themselves.

This Sang’er, as a maidservant in Mrs. Shen’s courtyard, has won the trust of Mrs. Shen. Although she is a servant of the prime minister’s mansion, the guests in the mansion have to give her face.

Sang’er looked at Song Rui.

“The madam asked Sonny to ask about the young lady’s situation.”

Seeing Song Rui’s distressed expression, Sang’er hurriedly said again: “Master, you only need to tell Sang’er. After Madam finds out, she will definitely not embarrass you.”

This was promised by my wife before leaving.

The current wife has almost torn face with the master.

Without the protection of the master, the authority of the wife in the prime minister’s mansion has plummeted.

Now is different from the past, and she has to be a human being with her tail between her legs.

Seeing that Song Rui still didn’t answer, Sonny’s tone softened again.

“The master is angry with the young lady now, and he will definitely not make the young lady feel better. Now in the mansion, the only ones who really care about the safety of the young lady are the madam and the young master.”

“Missy did those things… really hurt the young master, but she saved the young master after all, and introduced the young master to the master, helping the young master step by step to where he is today.”

“My lord is not willing either. Seeing the young lady being murdered by the master like this?” Sonny asked.

Seeing that Song Rui’s eyes fluctuated, Sang’er continued: “If the young master is willing to reveal the news, the madam will definitely record the favor.”

“Although the master is annoyed by the madam now, the madam is the eldest daughter of the Jia family, or the empress’s sister.”

“Even if it is the master, he will not do anything to the wife. After this matter is over, the master will definitely release the wife.” In other words, her wife’s identity as the hostess of the prime minister’s mansion will not be shaken.

If Song Rui is interested, it is best not to offend Madam easily. Otherwise, when Madam comes out, there will be no good fruit for him to eat.

Song Rui frowned.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

“It’s not that I don’t want to tell Madam the news, but—”

“My lord has issued an order, and I am not allowed to reveal anything.”

Sonny’s eyes lit up.

“Don’t worry, my lord, after the madam learns about the young lady, she will definitely not reveal that it was the young master who said it!” said immediately.

A hesitation flashed across Song Rui’s face again.

“Master—” Sonny shouted anxiously.

Song Rui finally nodded.

Immediately, in Sang’er’s delighted eyes, he told the news that Shen Rong and Meng Xuan were dead.

Including Shen Xiang’s refusal to see Shen Rong’s body and asking him to arrange for Shen Rong to fall ill and die suddenly.

When Sonny heard this, he was shocked on the spot.

Miss is dead?

Well, falling from such a high cliff, the chances of a person surviving are not high.

But she was still a little shocked when she learned that there was no one there.

The point is, how can Madam afford this news?

The only thing Madam cares about is the eldest lady, now that the eldest lady is gone, the madam must be going crazy with fear.

At that time, the prime minister’s mansion will really be in chaos.

Seeing Sonny’s eyeballs moving wildly, Song Rui looked sad.

“I never thought that my lord would not even see the young lady for the last time.”

“Hey, madam, if you want to see the eldest lady for the last time, you have to hurry up.”

Speaking, Song Rui told the place where Shen Rong and Meng Xuan’s corpses were buried.

“On my side, I can decide to postpone the burial until tomorrow night.”

Sang’er finally suppressed the emotions in her heart, and nodded gratefully to Song Rui.

“Okay, go back to Sonny and tell Madam the news.”

“Thank you, Mr. Song.” Then, he saluted Song Ruiying again.

“Miss Sang’er, you are welcome. If Madam wants to see the eldest lady, you can send someone to inform me in advance. Here, you can make some arrangements in advance.”

“En!” Sang Er agreed, and then said goodbye to Song Rui.

Before leaving, he looked around to make sure that no one saw him, so he quickly escaped into the darkness.

Song Rui watched Sang’er leave, and when he disappeared, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, he turned and went back to his room.

After a while, Mrs. Shen entered the courtyard.

In the originally quiet room, shortly after Sonny arrived, there was a burst of heart-piercing wailing.

After a long time, under the comfort of Mammy and Sonny, Madam Shen finally stopped crying.

Enduring the severe pain in his heart, he gritted his teeth and looked at the residence of Prime Minister Shen in the main courtyard.

“Shen Hongyu, you are ruthless…you—wait for me…” whispered.

When Mammy and Sonny saw this, they looked at each other with worry.

“Madam’s condolences. The master locked his wife in the room because he didn’t want his wife to know about the young lady.”

“If the master finds out, the madam already knows that the young lady has passed away, and I’m afraid that the madam will not be able to go out.” Sang Er persuaded.

“Yes Ma’am, you still have to see Miss for the last time.” Mammy also reminded.

Mrs. Shen stopped crying.

“Yes, I have to see Rong’er for the last time.”

“Sang’er, go and find Song Rui and ask him to make arrangements. I’m going to see Rong’er right now!” After speaking, Mrs. Shen stood up.

Sonny and Mammy quickly pulled him back.

Sonny lowered her voice, afraid that someone outside would overhear their conversation.

“Madam, please don’t worry. Mr. Song has already promised to help.”
