That was right. Song Rui had already bought a dwelling outside.

Once he was done packing up, he would leave the Prime Minister’s residence and live in his own residence.

It was also for this reason that Mrs. Shen was anxious to call him over to talk about this matter.

The Empress had just made the decision to let the Jia family marry their daughter to Song Rui as a concubine.

It was inappropriate for her to bring up the matter of offering Sang’er to be Song Rui’s concubine. She could only say that she was giving Sang’er to Song Rui.

If Song Rui accepted her, it was only a matter of time before she became his personal maidservant in an adjoining room.

In another one or two years, when Sang’er became pregnant, it would be logical for her to be promoted to concubine.

Since she wanted to win Song Rui over, she had to station as many people as possible by his side.

If Sang’er went to Song Rui, she would naturally repay Mrs. Shen’s kindness.

Song Rui was stunned.

A hint of malice flashed across his heart.

All of them wanted to push women into his arms. Did they think he was someone like Shen Hongyu?

“Er…” Song Rui glanced at the door and looked at Mrs. Shen with a troubled expression.

He didn’t want Sang’er, whether sincerely or otherwise.

If he really brought her to the residence, wouldn’t it be obvious to the old fox that he was in contact with Mrs. Shen?

“Lord Song, don’t worry about the Master.” Mrs. Shen looked at Song Rui.

“Moreover, didn’t Master ask Lord Song to feign civility with me?

“So, even if you have Sang’er in your residence, it doesn’t matter, right?”

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

He did not expect Mrs. Shen to know what the old fox had told him.

Mrs. Shen simply smiled.

“The Master and I have been husband and wife for nearly twenty years. How could I not know his personality?” she explained.

Song Rui’s expression became a little more relaxed. Then, he cupped his hands at Mrs. Shen.

“Thank you for your kindness, Mistress. It’s just that my marriage is imminent and it’s really not convenient…” As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Mrs. Shen, but he did not finish his sentence.

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she was not angry. Instead, she smiled even more brightly.

He didn’t reject her outright, which meant that he was tempted.

“That’s fine.

“I can arrange Sang’er to be Shen Lian’s dowry maid. At that point, she will follow you to your residence.”

Most of the dowry maids of rich families would become personal maidservants in an adjoining room after the daughter was married off.

In this way, Sang’er would logically become Song Rui’s personal maidservant after Song Rui married Shen Lian.

Song Rui lowered his head and a sinister look flashed across his face.

Then, he answered, “In that case, thank you, Mistress.”

He had no choice but to agree to this arrangement. If he did not agree, how could Mrs. Shen be at ease with him and believe that he could be roped in?

Mrs. Shen’s face lit up.

“Come in,” she shouted to the person outside the door.

Then, Sang’er pushed open the door and entered.

She looked at Song Rui shyly and then knelt down in front of Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen glanced at Song Rui and then looked at Sang’er with satisfaction.

Then, she asked Sang’er with a smile, “Did you hear my conversation with Lord Song just now?”

Sang’er’s pretty face was flushed a deep red. She did not dare to raise her head and nodded obediently.

“Mm-hmm,” she replied coyly.

Mrs. Shen was all smiles.

Following that, she asked, “Then 1 intend to let you follow Shen Lian when she gets married and moves to the Song residence. Do you have any objections?”

Sang’er blushed even redder.

“I will follow Mistress’s arrangements,” she replied shyly.

” Hahahaha…” Mrs. Shen laughed out loud.

Her gaze swept between Song Rui and Sang’er.

“Very good, very good!” she said as she laughed loudly.

Sang’er also turned to look at Song Rui.

When she saw Song Rui smiling at her, she quickly turned around.

Her heart was thumping furiously.

Lord Song actually smiled at her.

He must have a good impression of her.

As she thought of this, Sang’er felt her ears beginning to burn.

“In that case, this matter is settled,” Mrs. Shen continued.

“Sang’er, help me send Lord Song off.”

Sang’er got up and did not dare to look at Song Rui anymore.

“Lord Song, please,” she said in a gentle voice.

Song Rui glanced at Sang’er and acknowledged her with a reply. After bidding farewell to Mrs. Shen, he left.

After they left the room, Sang’er still kept her head lowered and led the way. She did not dare to look back at Song Rui at all.

It was not until the two of them walked out of Mrs. Shen’s courtyard that Sang’er stopped.

Song Rui frowned.

Then, before Sang’er turned around, he quickly withdrew his expression.

“Lord Song, your servant will send you until this point. My lord, please… take care.” Sang’er looked up at Song Rui and quickly lowered her head again.

“Mm-hmm. Miss Sang’er, you take care too,” Song Rui replied.

Thereafter, he left.

Sang’er did not move. She only dared to look up at Song Rui again after he had walked far away.

Then, she watched Song Rui disappear at the end of the path before she turned around and left excitedly.

Mistress was really going to give her to Lord Song, and Lord Song had accepted her.

She was going to move to Lord Song’s residence.

Although she could only be a personal maidservant at first, with Lord Song’s fondness for her, it wouldn’t be long before she could be promoted to concubine.

She was simply too blessed to be able to serve Lord Song and spend time with a man like Lord Song.

Song Rui’s expression clouded over after walking far away.

A servant girl actually dared to covet him.

It seemed that he had to hurry up. Otherwise, he was afraid that more and more people would shove women into his arms.

Although he wasn’t interested in those women, he wouldn’t be able to get past his wife.

At Cloud Scent Court.

Song Rui and Yun Niang didn’t chat for long before a servant came to report that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Song Rui got up after dismissing the servant.

“I’ll have to trouble you and Ling’er to take care of Xiaoyao,” he said to Yun Niang.

“Don’t worry, Cousin. Ling’er and I know what to do,” Yun Niang replied.

Song Rui then left.

Following that, he brought the servant to the room that he had booked earlier.

When he saw the personal guards of Prince Huaiyin standing at the door, Song Rui looked left and right.

After that, the servant stayed behind to keep an eye on the surrounding.

Song Rui walked towards the room where Prince Huaiyin was waiting.

After entering the room, Song Rui walked a few steps and saw Prince Huaiyin drinking by the window.

Following the gaze of Prince Huaiyin, Song Rui looked out of the window. He then stepped forward and bowed to Prince Huaiyin.

“Your Highness.”

Prince Huaiyin turned his head.

A smile appeared on his face.

“Come and sit down.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Song Rui didn’t stand on ceremony and walked to the seat opposite Prince Huaiyin.

Prince Huaiyin smiled and looked at the dishes on the table.

His gaze fell on two of the century egg dishes.

“The flavor of your family’s century eggs is indeed unique,” he said.

It wasn’t just at Cloud Scent Court. Almost all the big restaurants in the capital, as well as the dining tables of the rich and powerful, had this dish.

Marquis Xiaoyao’s century egg business was really doing well.

Song Rui followed Prince Huaiyin’s gaze and looked at the dishes on the table.

When he thought of his wife, the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.

Then, he replied to Prince Huaiyin, “Your Highness is too kind.”

His wife was indeed amazing.

Previously, she had said that he earned money faster than her..
