"I will arrange for you to take the position vacated by Official Wang." Minister Shen finally relented.
Song Rui's face lit up.
"Thank you, my lord!" He thanked Minister Shen excitedly.
Minister Shen gestured with his hand and smiled.
"We're family. There's no need to be so polite."
Then, he instructed Song Rui on some other matters before dismissing him.
Song Rui's expression darkened the moment he walked out of Minister Shen's study.
Minister Shen knew that Mrs. Shen was trying to win him over, but the old fox only gave him a few verbal words of admonishment.
Was he certain that Song Rui would give up on relying on Mrs. Shen and the Jia family for the sake of the rosy picture he painted?
Well, alright. He wasn't prepared to rely on Mrs. Shen. However, cooperation was inevitable.
In addition, with regard to the Jia family behind Mrs. Shen and the Empress… Who said that he wouldn't join them?
