I will not admit to a mistake I did not make.” Wei Ruo insisted.

Lady Yun was livid: “Cuiping, Zhang Mama, take her to the firewood shed’ Don’t allow her any food! She’s only allowed out once she admits her mistake!” Madam!” Zhang Mama and Cuiping were both shocked.

This was the first time the Madam had been angered enough to order someone be confined to the firewood shed.

“Well, what are you waiting for!” Lady Yun ordered.

“Yes…”

Cuiping and Zhang Mama approached Wei Ruo.

“Miss…”

“I can walk on my own.”

Wei Ruo didn’t waste any words. She turned around and started to walk.

Upon arriving at the firewood shed, Zhang Mama whispered to Wei Ruo “Miss you should just apologize to the Madam. Admit your mistake, promise to correct yourself, and she will forgive you.”

“I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?”

Zhang Mama sighed helplessly and could only lock the shed doors.

The moment the firewood shed was locked, Wei Ruo was enveloped in total darkness.

The air was filled with the mixed scent of dry firewood and dust.

Wei Ruo found a heap of straw and sat down on it.

The only source of light coming into the shed was from a small window near the top, divided by a few wooden sticks, splitting the moonlight into fragments.

The Grain Rain had already passed, but maybe because these years had been particularly cold, the night was still slightly chilly. Wei Ruo involuntarily drew herself into a ball to minimize the loss of body heat.

She barelly can remember the time when she had just been sent from the He Family to the Mo Jiazha’s detached house. It was very cold at night then.

Her nanny and Xiumei slept next to her, the three of them huddled together at night.

Although the temperature on that day was even colder, her heart was warm.

She didn’t want to go back to the Wei Family, but she did.

She didn’t want to fight with Wei Qingwan, but she inexplicably ended up doing

Even though she tried extremely hard to avoid any strife with her family, she somehow got pulled into it.

Leaning against the mud wall of the firewood shed, Wei Ruo couldn’t help but recall her past life.

In her past life, she had a drunken, abusive father and a compliant, submissive mother.

Even though she got into a top university and learned much from her mentor through her own talent and hard work, she ultimately couldn’t escape the rotting family she was born into.

Her drunkard father came demanding living expenses from her just after she graduated.

When she refused, her father started to beat her.

Her mother tried to shield her, protecting her in her arms, but was beaten to death by her father who had lost all sense of reason.

Then she picked up a pair of scissors from the table and stabbed her father to death.

In this life, she worked hard to earn money. She was determined to build a life for herself through her own efforts, not relying on the pity of others.

But she still couldn’t change anything. As soon as she made the others in the house unhappy, she was punished.

m her past life, she couldn’t take control of her own fate through education.

And in this life, she was also helpless.

This feeling of helplessness enveloped her, leaving her breathless.

The doctor that rushed to the Military Prefecture had diagnosed Wei Qingwan.

After finishing, he went to write prescriptions and prepare her medicine.

He left Li Mama and Cuihe to look after Wei Qingwan.
