"Why? Mother, why did Father do this? Is it because I secretly went out to see my brother the Crown Prince today and upset Father?" Shen Yunjin asked Jiang Shi while shedding tears.
Jiang looked grave. She had known Shen Wei for over twenty years, so she knew very well that there was no room for negotiation in what Shen Wei had just said. He was determined to petition the emperor to dissolve the engagement for his daughter.
