Chapter 373: Threat of Death

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When she saw her daughter standing on the edge of the cliff with Meng Xuan, looking hysterical and emotionally unstable, Mrs. Shen was fraught with anxiety.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen could not care less about the dignity of the Prime Minister’s family and stretched out her hand worriedly toward Shen Rong.

“Rong’er, everything can be discussed. It’s dangerous over there. Come over first.

“Mother… Mother will definitely stand up for you. Okay…” Mrs. Shen said cautiously. At the same time, she took two steps forward.

“Don’t come over!” Shen Rong shouted.

That shout stopped Mrs. Shen in her tracks.

At the same time, Shen Rong took two steps back.

With this step back, she was even closer to the edge of the cliff.

“Don’t… I won’t go over. Mother won’t go over! Rong’er, you move closer this way. Be more careful…” Mrs. Shen was so anxious that she was about to cry. What on earth was going on?

Didn’t she agree to the Master looking for a husband for her?

Why was her daughter still entangled with Meng Xuan at this time? And now, it had even reached this precarious stage!

“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll be fine for the time being.

“I want to see my father now.

“Please send someone to ask Father to come here. I want to talk to my father,” Shen Rong said as she grabbed Meng Xuan’s arm tightly and suppressed the fear in her heart.

Young Master Song was right.

Now, she had to tell her father that she was pregnant and threaten him with her death. This was her last chance.

If her father felt sorry for her, he could only help to unite her and Meng Xuan.

If her father was really that ruthless, she and Meng Xuan would listen to Young Master Song’s suggestion and flee the capital after faking death.

It would be considered a blessing to live a carefree life as a perfectly compatible and harmonious couple from then on.

“Why do you want to see your father? Whatever you want, Mother will agree to it! Rong’er, come over first. We can talk about everything, okay?” Mrs. Shen said quickly.

In broad daylight, her daughter had done such a shameful thing with someone else. If Master really came, he would definitely be furious.

At that time, what if Master couldn’t control his temper and forced his daughter to the wall?

Shen Rong shook her head.

“No. Only Father can consent to what 1 want. Send someone to ask Father to come here. 1 will only talk to Father.”

With that, Shen Rong moved closer to the edge of the cliff.

Mrs. Shen’s heart thumped so furiously it almost jumped out of her chest.

“Alright. I’ll get someone to ask your father to come here. Don’t move in that direction anymore, Rong’er!” she quickly replied.

Only then did Shen Rong stop.

At this moment, her hands and feet were actually trembling. She could only grab onto Meng Xuan tightly to prevent herself from accidentally falling off the cliff.

Meng Xuan gave Shen Rong a look of reassurance, trying to comfort and encourage her at the same time.

When Mrs. Shen saw this, she was worried about her daughter, but she was also furious at Meng Xuan.

Helplessly, she finally ordered her servant to look for Minister Shen.

“Mistress…” Song Rui called out to Mrs. Shen worriedly when he saw this.

“Things have already progressed to this stage. Why are you still worried over so many things?” In response, Mrs. Shen scolded him instead.

Previously, she had found the future son-in-law Song Rui pleasing to the eye, but that was only because her daughter had a good impression of Song Rui.

However, now, it seemed that what her daughter had presented before was all an illusion.

Her daughter had never let go of Meng Xuan. Now, she was even threatening her mother with her life for Meng Xuan’s sake.

If that was the case, what use was this guy Song Rui to the Prime Minister’s residence?

Master had spent so much effort to nurture him, but he couldn’t even win over their daughter’s heart. He was simply useless!

That was right. The more Mrs. Shen looked at Song Rui, the angrier she got.

Song Rui didn’t take it to heart after listening to her outburst.

Frowning, he looked at Shen Rong with a worried expression and did not stop Mrs. Shen from sending people to ask Minister Shen to come here.

After the servant sent to inform Minister Shen left, Mrs. Shen continued to persuade Shen Rong.

“Mother has already sent someone to inform your father. Rong’er, be good and come closer. I promise not to act rashly.”

Shen Rong’s expression changed slightly as she glanced at Meng Xuan.

However, Meng Xuan’s face remained sullen and unmoved.

Thus, Shen Rong, who had been a little tempted, withdrew the expression on her face.

“No need. It’s fine for me to stand here.”

Then, she added in a low voice, “When Father is here and agrees to my conditions, 1 will go over.”

Mrs. Shen felt a sharp pain in her heart and clutched her chest with one hand.

Fortunately, she was supported by the nanny beside her. Otherwise, she would have collapsed.

When she saw this, Shen Rong subconsciously took a step forward.

However, Meng Xuan pulled her back without batting an eyelid and stopped her from moving forward.

Shen Rong looked at Meng Xuan and saw the warning look in his eyes. She quickly regained her senses and her expression turned icy again.

When Mrs. Shen saw the change in Shen Rong’s expression, the little bit of hope that had risen in her heart was instantly shattered.

When she realized that she couldn’t make her daughter soften her heart, Mrs. Shen quickly looked at Meng Xuan.

“Young Master Meng…” After suppressing the disgust in her heart, she tried her best to speak calmly to Meng Xuan.

When Meng Xuan’s name was called out, he finally turned his body and shifted his gaze away from Shen Rong to look at Mrs. Shen.

“Aunt.” Then, he cupped his hands and bowed to Mrs. Shen.

A look of disgust flashed across Mrs. Shen’s face.

Aunt? How dared he address her like this!

In the past, the Shen family and the Meng family were well-matched in terms of social status. This fellow was engaged to her daughter, so she was fine with him addressing her as “Aunt”.

However, now, the Meng family had fallen into such a state.

This fellow was a nobody without any official post, yet he still dared to address her as “Aunt”?

Her Rong’er had always been obedient since she was young. When had she ever done such an outrageous thing as what she was doing today?

It was all this fellow’s fault for seducing and instigating her!

Mrs. Shen hated Meng Xuan to the extreme.

However, when she saw her daughter looking at her and Meng Xuan worriedly, she could only suppress the disgust in her heart and try her best to speak to Meng Xuan calmly.

“Young Master Meng, Rong’er is young and immature.

“You’re older than her, so you should know how serious the situation is.

“If you have any requests, you can mention them to Master directly later. There’s no need to put Rong’er in danger.

“Let Rong’er come to me first. We can discuss everything else.” Mrs. Shen’s tone was half-commanding and half-persuading. She was still putting on airs.

When Meng Xuan heard this, he couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.

At this point, the old woman still thought that he was easy to deal with.

Meng Xuan didn’t reply immediately.

Instead, he looked at Shen Rong with a look tormented by internal struggle.

Following that, Shen Rong stepped forward and shielded him behind her.

“Mother, you don’t have to pressure Young Master Meng.

“Everything that happened today was your daughter’s idea.

“I like Young Master Meng. In this life, I will only marry Meng Xuan.

“If Father and Mother refused to grant my wish to be with him, I will die today to show my sincerity.” Shen Rong’s eyes were filled with determination as she spoke.

Mrs. Shen almost stumbled upon hearing that.

If it wasn’t for the nanny beside her supporting her, she would have collapsed again.

When she surveyed the surrounding servants, as well as the temple visitors who came to gawk at the drama while discussing animatedly, Mrs. Shen was in a sorry state, but at the same time, she also felt extremely humiliated.

While she was worried that Shen Rong would really seek death, she hated

Meng Xuan even more..
