“Master…” she screamed shrilly at Minister Shen.

At the same time, she charged toward Minister Shen.

She successfully stopped the two servants and Shen Rong at the same time.

“Master, we… we only have one daughter. You can’t be so cruel!” Mrs. Shen stumbled and fell in front of Minister Shen. She reached out and grabbed one of Minister Shen’s hands, afraid that Minister Shen would really not care about her daughter’s life.

Minister Shen’s expression was still grim.

He only glanced at Mrs. Shen before looking at Shen Rong again.

“Come over on your own, on account of our father-daughter relationship. If you’re willing to marry Rui’er, I can let bygones be bygones,” he said in a stern voice.

As he had already decided that Song Rui was to be his future son-in-law, he had already put in a lot of effort and paid a high price to nurture him.

Now that Song Rui was about to marry into the Shen family, his daughter had actually tripped him up like this. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He just couldn’t understand why his daughter was so hung up on Meng Xuan when Song Rui was far more talented and good-looking than Meng Xuan.

He and his wife had taught her carefully since she was young and taught her to be learned and reasonable.

Yet now, she had turned against him and done such a shameless thing. How could he not be angry?

When Shen Rong heard this, an icy wave swept over her heart.

She knew that her father did not like to be threatened, so she was prepared for the possibility that her negotiations with him would fall through.

However, she did not expect her father to have such an attitude even before she started talking to him.

“No. Your daughter already has Meng Xuan’s flesh and blood in her belly. How can I marry someone else while carrying this life?” Shen Rong said fearfully but firmly.

As soon as these words came out, Minister Shen’s eyes clouded over at once.

He looked at Shen Rong’s abdomen with a gaze that seemed infused with poison.

Shen Rong was so frightened that she subconsciously hid behind Meng Xuan to protect her lower abdomen.

“He’s… he’s your grandson too. Father, can’t you just let your daughter and Meng Xuan be together?” Shen Rong lowered her head and said, not daring to look at Minister Shen again.

“Master…” Mrs. Shen tugged at Minister Shen again at this point.

Although she didn’t agree with her daughter’s actions, at this point, it might be the best choice to help her daughter fulfill her wish.

Her daughter was right. The child in her tummy was also the Master’s and her grandson.

When the child was born, he would call her “Grandma.”

Since Master could nurture Song Rui, surely he could swap him out and nurture Meng Xuan instead.

If he was worried that Meng Xuan would hold a grudge against him for what had happened to the Meng family, he could just not let him rise too high in the future.

If that didn’t work, they could still nurture their grandson after he was born!

When she thought of this, Mrs. Shen quickly convinced herself and she switched sides to become Shen Rong’s ally.

However, Minister Shen looked at Mrs. Shen ominously and flung her away.

“Shut up! It’s all because you spoiled her since she was young that she became so bold and rebellious!” he reprimanded.

After he finished speaking, Minister Shen looked at Shen Rong again.

“I hate it when people threaten me. Since you are my daughter, 1 will give you one last chance.”

“Come over yourself, abort the child in your tummy, and marry Rui’er. In that way, you are still the Young Miss of my Prime Minister’s residence.

Otherwise…” As he spoke, a hint of malice flashed across Minister Shen’s eyes.

He would not show mercy to those who ruined his plan. Even if that person was his daughter.

Shen Rong’s heart shuddered, and her body started to tremble.

Meng Xuan, who was standing in front of her, also turned pale.

He didn’t expect the old man to be so cold-blooded and not care about his daughter’s life.

At this moment, Meng Xuan’s heart was filled with hatred.

This old man was cold-blooded and cruel.

Since even the child in Shen Rong’s tummy couldn’t force him to fulfill their wishes, he would make him regret it then.

Meng Xuan looked at Shen Rong as he thought of this.

Shen Rong panicked at once.

“Meng Xuan…” she called out uncertainly.

Meng Xuan looked at Shen Rong and nodded at her.

At the same time, he held Shen Rong’s hand tightly.

Shen Rong’s flustered heart instantly calmed down substantially.

After that, she wasn’t as afraid as before and even nodded at Meng Xuan.

Then, she walked toward the edge of the cliff with Meng Xuan.

“No! Rong’er, don’t do anything stupid!” Upon seeing this, Mrs. Shen yelled in a shrill voice.

When she saw the two of them stop in their tracks, she quickly scrambled and crawled forward and grabbed the hem of Minister Shen’s clothes.

“Master, I beg you! Please fulfill their wishes! Give our Rong’er a way out, okay?” she begged piteously.

Minister Shen narrowed his eyes and glared menacingly at Meng Xuan, but he didn’t say a word.

Meng Xuan and Minister Shen’s eyes met. This time, the former did not evade the latter’s gaze.

A moment later, he squeezed Shen Rong’s hand again.

Then, Shen Rong pulled Meng Xuan forward with a determined look and prepared to jump off the cliff.

“Master!” Mrs. Shen screamed.

Minister Shen frowned.

He finally spoke.

“What do you want…” he asked Meng Xuan.

The two people at the edge of the cliff stopped in their tracks again, and their hearts were filled with a little joy.

This was particularly true for Shen Rong.

His father actually relented. Was he going to compromise?

Although she was prepared to jump down with Meng Xuan, who knew if the arrangements at the bottom of the cliff were adequate?

If Song Rui didn’t make proper arrangements, jumping down would really kill them.

If her father compromised and allowed her and Meng Xuan to be together openly, this was the best outcome.

Meng Xuan felt a little smug.

From the looks of things, the old man still cared about his daughter’s life.

Today, for the sake of Shen Rong and the child in her tummy, if the old man really allowed them to be together and let him enter the Prime Minister’s residence…

In due course, he would definitely take back what the Shen family owed him, including interest.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Meng Xuan put on a terrified expression and cupped his hands in salute to Minister Shen.

“Uncle, you misunderstood. 1 have no other request than to be with Rong’er and to take good care of Rong’er and our child.” As Meng Xuan spoke, he looked sadly at Shen Rong’s abdomen.

“Heaven and earth can vouch for my feelings for Rong’er. Other than Rong’er, I, Meng Xuan, will never marry another woman in this life.

“Uncle, please grant us our wish!”

Meng Xuan’s words sounded extremely sincere, and Shen Rong felt extremely touched.

When the others heard this, they only felt that it was hypocritical.

In particular, Minister Shen almost wanted to send someone to shoot Meng Xuan until his body resembled a honeycomb.

Back then, in order to get close to Empress Jia, he married her older sister.

In order to win Empress Jia’s trust, he had only had one wife all these years in the Prime Minister’s residence.

He didn’t even have a personal maidservant in an adjoining room, much less take on concubines.

It was also because of this that the Mistress and the Jia family supported him tremendously in his career, allowing him to reach his current position step by step.

However, he knew very well that his wife had never been the woman he liked the most.

At this moment, Meng Xuan was the same. He was like a wolf cub.

When he said that he only had Shen Rong in his heart, it was just a lie he told in order to get into the Prime Minister’s residence and turn things around.

When the time was right, not only the Shen family, but even Shen Rong would suffer the backlash from this wolf cub.

And he would never allow such a thing to happen..
