Just then, the Duke of Wei spoke:
"No, Princess Jiahe. Even if you talked the heavens apart today, I would never agree to an operation like that. I cannot gamble with my grandson's life."
Song Yaoyao had not expected the Duke of Wei to be the greatest obstacle.
Song Yaoyao was about to keep trying to persuade him when Young Madam Wei walked in.
In fact, Young Madam Wei had never gone far. She had been standing outside the door, listening all along.
She had heard every word of their conversation clearly.
After entering, Young Madam Wei kept her eyes fixed on Song Yaoyao.
Young Madam Wei had met Song Yaoyao at the palace banquet, and she could hear Song Yaoyao's inner thoughts as well.
Earlier, all her attention had been on Director Li. She had been so occupied with pleading with him that she truly had not noticed Song Yaoyao.
After hearing Song Yaoyao's words, Young Madam Wei could no longer remain outside.
Young Madam Wei bowed to Song Yaoyao before asking:
"Princess, can you truly save my son?"
Song Yaoyao nodded:
"Yes."
Song Yaoyao glanced at the Duke of Wei and said, "It's just..." Your father-in-law won't agree.
Although Song Yaoyao did not say the rest aloud, everyone present understood what she meant.
Young Madam Wei asked again to make sure:
"After this operation, will my son recover completely?"
"Yes. He'll be able to live like any normal child."
Young Madam Wei said excitedly:
"Good, good, good. Leave the rest to me."
With a thud, Young Madam Wei dropped to her knees before the Duke of Wei:
"Father, ever since I married into this family, I've never begged you for anything. Today, I'm begging you. Please agree to let the princess perform the operation!"
The Duke of Wei
