Prince Huaiyin nodded.
“You should think more carefully about this matter,” he instructed.
“Mm-hmm,” Song Rui answered.
Then, he discussed some other matters with Prince Huaiyin.
Two hours later, Song Rui finally emerged from the room.
Thereafter, he brought the servant to a private residence.
When they arrived, there were people keeping watch in the courtyard. Shen Lian had been waiting there for a while.
When she saw Song Rui, Shen Lian and her maidservant quickly came up to him.
“My lord!” she called out anxiously. If there weren’t other people in the courtyard, she would have thrown herself into Song Rui’s arms.
“Young Miss, don’t be anxious,” Song Rui replied.
“I’ll go save your mother now.” Then, he avoided Shen Lian and walked in quickly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lian felt a little more at ease and quickly followed.
Soon, the three of them entered a room.
When he walked into the inner room, he saw a beautiful woman lying on the bed.
She was undoubtedly Shen Lian’S mother.
Shen Lian saw that her mother had her eyes closed like a dead person, and her heart was filled with fear and worry.
She was afraid that Song Rui would not be able to save her mother.
“Young Miss, don’t worry. 1’11 give your mother the antidote right away,” Song Rui said to Shen Lian.
“Alright. 1 have to trouble you then. Lord Song,” Shen Lian quickly replied.
Song Rui took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket.
He walked towards the woman on the bed.
Then, he opened the bottle and poured out a pill.
Following that, he opened the woman’s mouth, lifted her chin, and popped the pill in.
Thereafter, with a series of maneuvers, he made the pill go down the woman’s throat.
After doing all this, Song Rui stepped away from the bed.
Shen Lian became even more anxious when she saw this.
She took a step forward and was about to ask, but was interrupted by Song Rui. “Young Miss, don’t be anxious. This medicine needs at least fifteen minutes to take effect.
“If you’re worried, Young Miss, you can go to the bedside and wait for her,” Song Rui said when he saw Shen Lian frowning.
“When your mother wakes up and sees you, she will definitely be overjoyed.”
Shen Lian froze momentarily. When she looked at the person on the bed, a hint of fear flashed across her eyes.
When Song Rui saw her reaction, a wave of contempt swept over his heart.
Even if the woman on the bed was dead, she was still this woman’s biological mother. This woman was actually afraid of her own mother. What a delicate young lady.
Shen Lian’s expression changed when she noticed that Song Rui’s gaze at her was a little odd.
Then, she braced herself and said, “Alright.”
She couldn’t ruin her image in Lord Song s heart just because she was afraid.
That person lying on the bed was her mother.
Even if her mother really couldn’t come back to life, it wouldn’t harm her. Therefore, she did not need to be afraid.
After she prepared herself mentally, Shen Lian brought her maidservant and mustered up her courage to go to the bedside.
That was right. When she went in, she gestured for the maidservant to follow her, as a way to boost her courage.
Song Rui glanced at Shen Lian’s back profile and felt even more disgusted.
If she was afraid, so be it. Why did she have to pretend to be unafraid?
“Then I won’t intrude upon you and your mother’s time together.
Song Rui pretended not to notice Shen Lian’s fear and added, “When your mother wakes up, Young Miss can ask Lu’er to inform me.”
There was still a while before the antidote took effect. He did not want to stay here and accompany the three women in the room.
Panic flashed across Shen Lian s eyes.
When she saw Song Rui leaving, she didn’t dare to ask him to stay.
Song Rui left the room and went to the courtyard to ask the person who was arranged to keep watch here about the things that happened earlier.
The person who kept watch told him everything truthfully.
After confirming that no one followed Shen Lian to this place, Song Rui was relieved.
Not long after that, Shen Lian’s maidservant ran out of the room.
As she ran, she shouted for Song Rui.
“Mistress is awake. Lord Song, our Mistress is awake!” Her tone was extremely excited.
Song Rui frowned.
Then, he quickly withdrew the expression on his face and turned to look in the direction of the maidservant.
At this moment, the maidservant had already run up to Song Rui.
Panting, she continued, “Lord Song, huff… Our Mistress is awake!”
Song Rui smiled.
“It’s good that she’s awake.
“When she first wakes up, she may feel a little unwell. However, after a short rest, she will be fine soon.
“Go to the kitchen and take a look. Make a cup of tea for her.”
“Yes. Your humble servant will go now!” The maidservant quickly answered.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and bowed to Song Rui.
“Mistress woke up and wants to see you, Lord Song. She asked me to invite you over,” she said.
Song Rui nodded.
“Go do your work. I’ll go there myself.”
“Yes, Sir.” Only then did the maidservant leave.
Song Rui sighed in his heart and walked toward the room.
When he reached the door, he heard Shen Lian and her mother s voices coming from inside.
He was about to knock on the door.
Shen Lian had already heard the movement outside. She called out in the direction of the door, “Is Lord Song here?” There was joy in her voice, indicating that the speaker was in a good mood.
Song Rui bowed to the occupants inside the room and said, “Song Rui is here to see Mistress and Young Miss.”
Shen Lian was delighted.
“Lord Song, please come in!” She even got up and went outside to welcome him.
Shen Lian’s mother couldn’t help but laugh when she saw her daughter like this.
She had known about the marriage that Master had arranged for her daughter.
She knew that her future son-in-law was not only talented but also extremely handsome.
Previously, Master had asked someone to send her poison and let her kill herself.
She thought that she would die for sure, regretting that she would not be able to see her daughter get married and see her future son-in-law.
To her surprise, she came back to life after dying.
After she woke up, her daughter told her rhe reason. Only then did she know that she was able to survive because of her future son-in-law.
The fact that her future son-in-law could do these things for her daughter was enough to show his sincerity towards her daughter.
Her daughter was luckier than her.
Song Rui entered and saw Shen Lian coming out of the inner room happily.
My mother is awake! Lord Song, please come in!” When she saw Song Rui, Shen Lian quickly invited him over.
Song Rui cupped his hands at Shen Lian.
“Mm-hmm.”
After replying to her, he followed Shen Lian into the inner room.
The woman who was lying on the bed had already sat up.
Although her face was a little pale, her eyes were quite lively.
The moment she laid eyes on Song Rui, she almost froze.
Shen Lian noticed her reaction and could not help but smile.
Then, she walked to the bedside and said to her mother, “Mother, this is Lord Song. You were able to escape safely this time because of Lord Song’s help.” Shen Lian’s mother finally came back to her senses at this point.
She propped herself up and got ready to thank Song Rui.
Song Rui quickly stepped forward and said, “Mistress, you have just woken up and will need a while to recover to your usual state. Please lie down and rest.” “That’s right, Mother. You should rest first.” Shen Lian also went forward and helped her mother back to her bed.
Shen Lian’s mother didn’t object and lay down obligingly.
Following that, she turned her body and thanked Song Rui.
“Thank you for saving me, Lord Song. 1 am extremely grateful.”
Song Rui returned the greeting to Shen Lian’s mother.
“Mistress, you are too kind. It is my fortune to be able to help Young Miss and Mistress.”
As he spoke, Song Rui even glanced at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian blushed and quickly averted her gaze in embarrassment.
However, she was very happy in her heart, and her fingers were toying with the embroidered handkerchief in her hands..
