After saying these two sentences lovingly, Du Sanniang turned to look at her husband Tong Guoan who was standing far away. Her expression changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book. Her eyes flashed with passion as she spoke word by word.

"If my son Wenjie is not good, I, Du Sanniang, will not rest in peace even after my death. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let go of those who dare to plot against my son."

"Du Sanniang, you vicious woman, please don't go too far."

If there were no outsiders present today, Tong Guoan would have been able to send Du Sanniang to heaven earlier based on what Du Sanniang said.

The dying man was fearless and simply ignored Tong Guoan's anger. Du Sanniang looked at the two adults, the Minister of Revenue Li Lianggong and the Minister of Dali Temple Meng Qisui.

"I am running out of time, so I ask you two adults to find someone to write a will for me."

In order to protect her son Tong Wenjie, Du Sanniang didn't want him to interfere in the feud between his parents. Today, she had invited two adults, who Tong Guoan could do nothing about, so she might as well not bother two people with the same matter. Why bother dragging her son Tong Wenjie into it?

Li Shiliu glanced at Tong Wenjie, who had been shrinking aside to reduce his presence, and curled his lips in disdain.

What a coward, Tong Guoan really doesn't know how to raise children. None of the sons and daughters he gave birth to are capable of doing anything useful. Each one is more useless than the other. His luck in opening the blind box is really bad.

"Let me do it."

Since this was Du Sanniang's intention and it was just a trivial matter, Li Shiliu was of course willing to satisfy her.

"Thank you for the trouble, young man."

Seeing that it was a young boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing the uniform of a clerk in the Ministry of Revenue, Du Sanniang smiled and nodded.

In a short while, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready.

Grabbing a brush soaked in ink, Li Shiliu wrote with great skill and quickly wrote the will based on Du Sanniang's dictation.

The contents of a will are not complicated, and generally speaking there are only a few clauses.

First, 20 taels of silver were taken out of Du Sanniang's dowry and handed directly to the Ministry of Revenue to repay the silver owed by Yue Guogong's Mansion to the Ministry of Revenue.

Second, all the rest of Du Sanniang's dowry will continue to be kept in Tencent. When her son Tong Wenjie gets married, half of it will be given to Tong Wenjie and his wife. The remaining half can only be obtained after Tong Wenjie inherits the title of Duke Yue's Mansion.

Thirdly, there are prerequisites for Tong Wenjie to take his mother Du Sanniang's dowry. In order to prevent Li Yue'er from controlling Tong Wenjie's marriage through Tong Guoan, Du Sanniang asks Li Lianggong and Meng Qisui to help report to the emperor. Tong Wenjie is the emperor's cousin after all, so please ask the emperor and the imperial concubine to personally select a cousin's wife for Tong Wenjie to marry.

Regardless of her background, it is best to choose a woman who is strong and bold.

If it was a royal marriage, Tong Wenjie would get his mother Du Sanniang's dowry after the marriage. If it was a marriage arranged by Tong Guoan and Li Yue'er, all the dowry left in Du Sanniang's name would be donated to the national treasury, without a penny left.

To hit the snake at its most vulnerable part, Du Sanniang's move was really cruel. It seemed that she really hated Li Yue'er so much that she would rather not leave a penny for her son than let Li Yue'er take advantage of her again.

Picking up the paper with the ink still wet and blowing on it gently, Li Shiliu handed the will she had just written to Du Sanniang for her to review.

After reading it carefully, Du Sanniang signed her name readily and pressed the bright red seal with her own hand.

"I, Du Sanniang, keep my word. Mammy, go get my token and ask the two adults to help me get the money from Tencent."
