134 Will
“Does the Emperor not agree to my annulment of the engagement with Prince Zhao?” Shen Yaowei asked with a frown.
“Originally, the Emperor planned to agree…” Shen Liu’an was really angry at the mention of this matter. “But last night, Prince Zhao went to the palace to kneel for the entire night, startling the Empress Dowager and the Empress. They went to the Emperor to plead for him, so the Emperor only fined Prince Zhao with a year of salary.”
Since his salary had been fined, he didn’t intend to issue a decree to let them cancel the engagement.
This result wasn’t surprising to Shen Yaowei.
!!
She already knew that the Emperor’s thoughts weren’t ordinary and were unpredictable. This marriage couldn’t be broken off just like that.
As her thoughts raced, Shen Yaowei smiled brightly. “Father, let’s put aside the annulment first. I have other things to discuss with you.”
Shen Liu’an turned to look at Shen Yaowei and said, “My good girl, if there’s anything you want my help with, just tell me.”
“Isn’t Granny Yuan back now? Aunt isn’t feeling well now. Father, why don’t you let Granny Yuan temporarily take over the management of the residence and let Aunt rest well?”
“Aunt? Hmph, is she worthy of being your aunt? Yaoyao, you’re really flattering her.” At the mention of Song Lingyun now, Shen Liu’an’s expression darkened.
He usually hated dirty methods that weren’t presentable. Not to mention that someone had used such methods against his good daughter.
Shen Yaowei reached out slightly and grabbed Shen Liu’an’s pinky. “Father, don’t be angry. It’s not good for your health.”
“Alright, I won’t be angry.” Shen Liu’an quickly calmed the anger in his heart and put on a smile as he looked at Shen Yaowei. “Initially, I didn’t plan to let Song Lingyun manage the household anymore. It’s good that Granny Yuan is back. In the future, we’ll let Granny Yuan take charge again.”
“Then I’ll thank you on behalf of Granny Yuan, Father!” Shen Yaowei said with a smile.
Shen Liu’an reached out and touched the top of Shen Yaowei’s head, his eyes soft and worried. “My good girl, after Yu Linlang enters the Prince Manor, you won’t be able to be with her often. Daddy will find you another playmate.”
If not for the fact that the woman he loved the most had left him a letter before she passed away and asked him to take good care of Song Lingyun and her daughter, and that Yaoyao usually relied on that mother and daughter, he would definitely not let them off easily.
Shen Yaowei nodded obediently and suddenly changed the topic. “Father, I want to see my mother’s will.”
Shen Liu’an thought of his deceased wife, and the sadness and nostalgia in his eyes could barely be stopped. He immediately stood up and walked to the locked cabinet, which was not far away.
Shen Liu’an took out a key and opened the cabinet. He carefully took out a jade box from the first floor of the cabinet.
Shen Yaowei looked at the jade box in Shen Liu’an’s hand and immediately recognized that it was made of 100-year-old black jade.
Who would have thought that the valuable jade box would only contain her mother’s will?
At that time, when her mother passed away, it was very sudden. There were no verbal last words, only a suicide note that had been written in advance since she fell ill.
After Shen Liu’an placed the jade box on the table and opened it, he took out a few old pieces of paper.
“Your mother also mentioned you in her suicide note. Yaoyao, you were the last person your mother could bear to part with,” Shen Liu’an said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Shen Yaowei restrained her joking expression and carefully took the fragile old papers from Shen Liu’an’s hand. She read them seriously.
