That's what they say in the picture books.

Nine out of ten who made mistakes would kneel in the ancestral hall and kowtow repeatedly.

Liang Heng laughed: "She doesn't deserve it. She's not even of the Shen family bloodline, how could she be worthy of entering the ancestral hall to repent?"

Shen Jiao: "Would Marquis Anbo and Shen Qingye agree?"

“That’s not important. Lord Shen is still alive, so it’s not Lord Anbo’s place to be in charge.” Gu An was especially pleased.

Little did he know that things would take an unexpected turn, and he would even outmaneuver Shen Yu.

All I can say is, Shen Qingfeng is incredibly cunning!

However, he didn't mention these details.

Liang Heng: "The father and son are remorseful in the ancestral hall. They can barely take care of themselves and have no time to deal with Chen Yu. They deserve it."

This melon is huge, I can't eat it all at once. I don't know if it's because of the original owner's emotions, but Shen Jiao felt a strange sense of pleasure in her heart.

Shen Jiao has a chess lesson in the afternoon.

Liang Heng and Gu An didn't linger; they had lunch at the palace and left early.

...

Side hall.

"The young lady is very happy. His Majesty's reward is truly thoughtful," Wang Fuxing reported excitedly.

Shen Yu's personal jade pendant was a gift from her biological father. It wasn't particularly valuable, but she wore it constantly to cultivate the image of filial piety as priceless.

What Anbo Hou and the others did not know was that when Shenyu went out, she would change into another jade pendant that was quite valuable.

Before long, the father lost his worthless jade pendant.

But not wanting his carefully crafted persona to crumble, Shen Yu kept this a secret from everyone.

This jade pendant was found by the Dragon Shadow Guards and given to Old Madam Shen.

The original plan was to sow discord between Shen Qingye and Shen Yu, but the addition of Marquis Anbo is an unexpected bonus.

Ji Yan smiled, "Hmm, how's your learning going?"

Wang Fu: "Very good, Master Nan has gone mad with learning."

"Jiaojiao is so good." Ji Yan narrowed her eyes and tapped the table with her fingers.

"Such a good girl, she deserves more rewards."

Wang Fu replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this old servant will take care of it immediately."
