She wanted to ensure that Shen Shuyi would never have a chance to recover, so that she could be absolutely certain of success after obtaining the necklace.

If anyone is to blame, it's Shen Shuyi for his crime of possessing a treasure.

She is the chosen one, and Shen Shuyi should just be her stepping stone.

She didn't want to live that kind of impoverished life anymore...

"Sister, how could you bring up such an outrageous thing as severing ties with our family?"

Shen Shuyi nodded in agreement, "Alright then. Since you still consider me family, give me a dowry so I can have a grand wedding."

“At least I want to take every penny of the inheritance left by my maternal grandparents.”

"Why?! They're our grandparents too!" Shen Yuwei didn't care about anything else; she had to take the necklace.

Shen Zhiwen tugged at Shen Yuwei's hand, "Little sister, just give her this little bit of money. Let's not bother with such ignorant people."

Their maternal grandfather was just an old Chinese medicine doctor, and the small house and the little money left by the two old people were not enough for the Shen family.

Only Shen Shuyi, lacking any sense of propriety, insisted on taking it without any shame.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen thought the same way. They knew the two old people better than their children. All that was left in the house were some medical books and a dilapidated house. The pharmacy had been sold long ago, and it didn't cost them much money.

Since this rebellious girl wants it, then give it to her. Don't make a fuss and become a laughing stock.

Father Shen coughed lightly and said, "Alright, if you obediently go to the matchmaker and get married, this dowry is yours."

Shen Yuwei quickly grabbed her father's arm and cried out in grievance.

"Dad, can I have one of the things my grandparents left behind, so I can keep it as a memento?"
