Seeing this, Madam Jiang hurriedly tugged at Shen Yunjin's sleeve.

Shen Yunjin then changed her words, saying, "Father, there's no need to worry. To protect my reputation, my brother, the Crown Prince, has already gone to the palace to ask the Emperor for a marriage decree."

"I will absolutely not allow you to marry into the Crown Prince's household!"

Shen Wei slammed his palm down on the desk, causing the porcelain on it to fall to the ground and shatter into pieces.

Shen Yunjin shuddered in fright.

But she had to ask, "Father, I'm already the Crown Prince's woman. If you don't let me marry the Crown Prince, who else can I marry in the future?"

“You don’t necessarily have to get married!” Shen Wei walked up to Shen Yunjin, gave her one last look, and then called over the servants guarding the door.

"Guards, immediately send the Second Miss to Guang'en Temple outside the city to become a nun, so as to preserve the reputation of the Shen family's daughters!"

"Become a monk?"

Shen Yunjin was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in disbelief as she scrambled to her feet. "Father, what are you saying? I am your own daughter, how can you bear to make me a nun?"

But Shen Wei didn't say another word.

The servants grabbed Shen Yunjin and dragged her into the courtyard.

Seeing that Shen Wei was determined to send her to become a nun, Shen Yunjin panicked and cried out, "Mother! Save me! Grandmother, save me! I don't want to become a nun! I can't become a nun!"

"Husband, I was wrong! You can hit me or punish me as you please, but the austere life in the temple is unbearable for Jin'er. Sending her to become a nun is pushing her to her death!"

Jiang knelt beside Shen Wei's legs and pleaded desperately.

Song Qingshu and Song Changshu also held Jiang Shi and cried incessantly.

However, Shen Wei remained unmoved.

Shen Yunjin cried until she was hoarse, and in the struggle, she fainted.

At the same time, Steward Cheng rushed in from outside the courtyard gate, shouting all the way: "Master! Eunuch Zhao has arrived with an imperial edict!"
