Chapter 376: Die in the Name of Love

“You cannot enter the Shen residence. Change your request.” A look of disgust flashed across Minister Shen s eyes.

He would never let a wolf into his house.

Meng Xuan’s face turned pale.

“I have no other requests. I just want to be with Rong’er,” he pleaded earnestly.

“Unclej please grant us our wish!” After he finished speaking, he cupped his hands and bowed to Minister Shen again.

“Hmph!” In response. Minister Shen only gave a contemptuous snort.

Before Meng Xuan could say anything, Shen Rong couldn’t stand it anymore.

She reached out to grab Meng Xuan and said, “Forget it, Meng Xuan! There’s no need to beg him anymore!”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Minister Shen in disappointment.

“In Father’s eyes, only the dignity of the Shen family and the Prime Minister1 s residence is important. When have you ever cared about your daughter?

“It’s good to talk things out today. 1 can now give up completely.”

As she spoke, Shen Rong looked at Mrs. Shen with determination.

“Mother, I thank you for giving birth to me and for raising me for so many years. Unfortunately, our mother-daughter relationship is short-lived. 1 can only repay you in my next life.”

After saying that, she ignored Mrs. Shen’s attempts to stop her and turned around with Meng Xuan.

Meng Xuan tugged at Shen Rong. He had wanted to fight a little more and bargain with Minister Shen.

However, when he saw Shen Rong’s determined expression, he hesitated for a moment before choosing to cooperate with her.

Following that, the two of them jumped down from the cliff under everyone’s horrified gazes.

“No! Rong’er…” Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand and screamed. Then, she fainted.

Minister Shen stood rooted to the spot in shock. He did not expect his daughter to really jump off a cliff with Meng Xuan in the name of love.

However, it only took him a moment to regain his senses.

His body swayed slightly as he suppressed the emotions in his heart and said in a deep voice, “If alive, I want to see the person. If dead, I want to see the corpse.

“Search the bottom of the cliff and bring them back to the Prime Minister’s residence.”

“Yes, Sir!” The servants answered and quickly left.

Song Rui looked at Minister Shen with an expression full of conflicting emotions. After awhile, he went forward.

“My Lord…” he called out worriedly.

Minister Shen did not turn around for a long time.

After a while, he finally turned around to look at Song Rui.

There was suspicion and fury in his eyes.

Previously, when he betrothed his daughter to this person, his daughter and this person did not express any objections.

However, now, his daughter had a tryst with someone and even died for love.

He didn’t believe that this person didn’t know anything about the matter between his daughter and Meng Xuan.

Song Rui s eyes evaded his gaze. He lowered his head and cupped his hands at Minister Shen again without saying anything else.

Minister Shen looked at Song Rui for a long time before finally looking away.

Then, he asked icily, “Did you know about Rong’er and Meng Xuan’s matter beforehand?”

Song Rui raised his head to look at Minister Shen.

When he saw Minister Shen glance at him, he quickly lowered his head again.

Following that, he replied, “My Lord, 1 know a little.”

Minister Shen s eyes became more icy in a flash.

“How much do you know?”

“When did Shen Rong start having an… affair with Meng Xuan?” Minister Shen paused for a moment before saying the word “affair.”

His daughter, a girl who had not yet married, actually had an affair with another man, and even secretly got pregnant. It was simply a disgrace to the family.

However, the Prime Minister s residence was heavily guarded, and his daughter rarely had the chance to go out alone. How did she get in touch with Meng Xuan? Furthermore, their relationship had reached such a stage.

Song Rui looked terrified.

He quickly said, “I know that Young Miss has met Young Master Meng in private, but 1 don’t know anything else!”

Minister Shen looked at Song Rui and recalled when he had betrothed his daughter to Song Rui.

As his daughter’s future husband, it was definitely unlikely that Song Rui would allow his fiancee to do such a thing with other men.

Therefore, Song Rui probably had nothing to do with his daughter’s relationship with Meng Xuan and how it developed to such a stage.

When he thought of this, Minister Shen’s expression became less unpleasant.

However, Minister Shen was still not prepared to let Song Rui off and continued to ask, “Rong’er is your fiancee. How dare you allow her to meet another man in private?”

Song Rui appeared downcast.

“I just… don’t have the heart to make things difficult for the Young Miss.

“At that point. Young Miss only said that she wanted to meet Young Master

Meng and settle things. I didn’t… think much of it.”

Minister Shen s eyes flickered.

With his daughter’s present personality, it was indeed possible for her to trick Song Rui into allowing her to meet Meng Xuan.

Forget it…

The incident had already happened, and it was ultimately Meng Xuan’s fault.

It was that rascal who had seduced his daughter intentionally, leading her to do things that were out of line, and even made things progress to this point.

It was also because he and his wife were too careless that they did not realize that their daughter had been bullied under their noses.

Now that his daughter and Meng Xuan had jumped off the cliff together, it would be fine if she didn’t die. There was still a chance to turn things around.

However, if she were gone…

When he thought of this possibility, Minister Shen’s heart ached at once.

Following that, he quickly calmed down.

If she were gone, then so be it.

If Shen Rong was dead, he could easily cover up the scandal that she had caused.

On the contrary, if Shen Rong was still alive, the scandal of the Prime Minister’s residence would probably continue to exist.

At the thought of this, Minister Shen looked at Song Rui again.

“I’ll leave the search for Rong’er and Meng Xuan to you.

“Send someone back to the Prime Minister’s residence to gather some people to come here and to look for them.

“No matter what you find, report to me immediately.”

“Yes, Sir!” Song Rui quickly answered.

“If she is still alive, don’t send her back to the Prime Minister’s residence for now.”

Song Rui was stunned and looked at Minister Shen.

When he saw Minister Shen’s callous expression, he quickly lowered his head again.

“Yes, Sir!” he answered again.

Only then did Minister Shen leave.

Song Rui remained in a bowed posture until Minister Shen was far away before he straightened up.

When he realized that someone was looking at him not far away, Song Rui looked over.

It was the old nanny who was taking care of the unconscious Mrs. Shen.

When rhe old nanny saw Minister Shen leave, she looked very worried.

Together with another maidservant, they supported the unconscious Mrs. Shen, not knowing what to do.

This time, their Young Miss had done such a thing, but the Mistress had pleaded for Young Miss and offended the Master.

The Master had left just now, but he didn’t make any arrangements for the Mistress.

Almost all the servants had gone to look for the Young Miss. With just a few of them, it was impossible for them to send the Mistress back to the residence.

“I’ll arrange for someone to send all of you back to the Prime Minister’s residence,” Song Rui said as if he had seen through the nanny and the maidservant’s worries.

Upon hearing this, the nanny’s face lit up at once.

“Thank you. Young Master Song!’’ she quickly thanked him.

Song Rui raised his hand and cut short the nanny’s words.

“Take good care of Mistress on the way. Also, don’t tell Mistress about Master’s arrangements,” he continued.

The nanny and maidservant’s faces stiffened.

Thereafter, the nanny nodded to indicate she understood.

Young Miss had jumped off the cliff, and it was a big blow to Mistress.

If she were to find out that even if Young Miss was still alive, Master was not prepared to let Young Miss return to the Prime Minister’s residence, Mistress would definitely not be able to take it.

Song Rui then called for his personal servant and asked him to get a horse and carriage to send Mrs. Shen and the others back to the Prime Minister s residence. At the same time, he would return to the Prime Minister’s residence to gather some men to come back here.

After everyone left, Song Rui strolled to the edge of the cliff.

He looked down at the situation at the bottom of the cliff, and a trace of a smile flashed across his eyes.

For the next two days, Song Rui didn’t leave the mountain where Shen Rong and Meng Xuan had jumped off the cliff..
