Chapter 24: Destroyed Silk

As everyone happily left with their silks, Li Wei Yang stayed back Every afternoon, she would stay back to brew tea for Lao furen

Lao furen was really interested in her lifestyle before co back to the Li’s estate and would always question her about it

In a gentle voice, Li Wei Yang would retell Lao furen of the interesting stories she has encountered at the Li’s in Ping Cheng

However, Lao furen would shake her head and said, “San yatou, you are not speaking the truth”

Looking at Lao furen with a pair of clear eyes, Li Wei Yang finally said after a few minutes, “Lao furen, do you really want to hear the truth?”

Lao furen nodded “I want to hear the truth”

Li Wei Yang took a deep breath Regarding sos, if a person really wants to know then they will eventually discover the truth So there was no need to hide it

“I stayed at the Li’s in Ping Cheng until I was seven years old The Prime Minister’s estate still hasn’t sent anyone to pickin the village The matron of the Zhou’s family was Liu shi+ She was very harsh and would usually never let s so I would steal food from the kitchen but she would find out and punishthe scars on her wrists “Right here, on s, all have scars”

Shocked, Lao furen stared at Wei Yang, unable to believe it “Did you tell her that your father is the Pri chuckled She knew Lao furen wouldn’t believe her, but it was the truth “I cried and told Liu shi+ that my father was a courtier in the Capital, but instead she would scoff at me I stayed with the Zhous for six years In the summer, it was hard to sleep because of lacier The Zhou’s daughter thought of me as a playhorse My hands and knees were scraped to the point of bleeding My fingers too were filled ounds because of sowing and heavy housechores Even my feet are calloused” Her voice wasn’t loud, there was no anguish in her tone—she didn’t even mention the times when she was almost beaten to death—and yet, her leveled tone hinted of pain, hardshi+p and helplessness

Lao furen and Luo mumu were both still in horror

Lao furen instinctively glanced at Wei Yang’s s’s hands It was then that she noticed there were scars on the delicate hands The scars were faint so she hadn’t noticed it until nohen she took a closer look

Luo mumu shook her head All the xiaojies in the Prime Minister’s estate were born with silver spoons in their mouths They lived in luxury and were protected from the harsh reality but San xiaojie had to live it In her veins ran the Prime Minister’s blood but she was bullied by a lowly far, Lao furen felt pain in her chest She could not iirl could’ve survived day-after-day living in that environine what it had done to her maturity

Lao furen slowly spoke up, “Child, you have suffered greatly I didn’t kno harsh they had been to you—”

Li Wei Yang s Lao furen’s face “No, I didn’t feel suffering fro that pained me the most hen the festivals cao out to celebrate I had wanted my father there so I could be spoiled, wanted to admire the floith father, celebrate the Lantern festival together, but other people would yell and scold me They would say I was an orphan with no parents” Li Wei Yang didn’t cry, sis in this world that, even if you cry, you won’t be able to attain it This logic, she has known since she was young

Lao furen gently held Wei Yang’s hands and said, “Child, you have come home From now on, no one will be able to bully you anymore”

Lao furen’s words, the sy silently held tighter to Lao furen’s hands That’s right, she has now returned Fro a nice personto be an evil person!
