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 Dont allow her any food! Shes 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

Miss
I can walk on my own.
Wei Ruo didnt 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 Jiazhas 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 didnt want to go back to the Wei Family, but she did.
She didnt 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 couldnt 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 couldnt 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 couldnt change anything. As soon as she made the others in the house unhappy, she was punished.
m her past life, she couldnt 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.
Wei Qingwan wore an anxious expression, tentatively asking Granny Li,
Granny, will my lies be discovered?
-No, Miss, rest assured, the heavens and the earth know, you and I know no one else will, as long as you dont show any signs of cowardice no one will know. Granny Li comforted.
But Granny, my heart is uneasy I know lying is wrong, but I cant bear to see
you punished, youre my most cherished Granny
This old servant knows, Miss is kind-hearted, you chose to lie this time for my sake, I am grateful for this favor! Granny Li replied graciously.
But seeing Sister being punished by Mother, I feel very guilty I didnt intend for things to become so serious, I thought with Mothers love for Sister she wouldnt punish her so harshly by locking her in the woodshed Wei Qingwan sobbed.
The Miss being locked in the woodshed has her own part to play, Miss you also saw, she was making a fuss in front of Madam, disregarding respect for elders and younger ones.
Mother has always been kind-hearted, Brother has made errors multiple times, but Mother only ever made him copy books as punishment, never has she done anything as severe as locking him in the woodshed I thought Sister would at most be made to copy books
Obviously, Madam is truly furious this time, this also shows Madams concern for you, Miss. If it were someone else, Madam definitely wouldnt have gotten so angry, but you are the apple of Madams eye, she cant tolerate any mishap, even if it is Wei Qingruo. Granny Li explained to Wei Qingwan.
Wei Qingwan was genuinely touched by her words, does her mother really regard her so highly? Is her place in mothers heart really that much higher than Wei Qingruos?
Granny, when it is dawn, take me to see Mother to plead in Sisters favor. Tell her my injuries are not serious, so that she wouldnt punish Sister anymore Wei Qingwan said.
Of course, waiting for dawn, then well go. Miss, stop thinking about this for now, you should rest awhile. Granny Li said.
Granny Li warned again, Miss, dont speak of todays events from now on, let
it rot in your belly, dont bring it up in the future.
Hmm, Wei Qingwan bit her lip and nodded in agreement.

Wei Jinyi opened his eyes, his head still throbbed, but his body felt significantly better.
Young master, youre finally awake! Xiaobei was extremely excited.
Hmm Wei Jinyi replied, his throat hurt a bit when he spoke.
Miss did not lie to me, she indeed could cure you!
Miss? She was here?
Xiaobei hurriedly recounted the events to Wei Jinyi.
You mean, Im awake because she saved me?
Xiaobeis words left Wei Jinyi greatly surprised.
Wei Ruo had caused a commotion at Wangmei Garden for him, even defying the Madam
Yes!
Where is she now?
She was taken away by the people sent by the Madam. Those people were
fierce, they probably wanted to punish her!
Wei Jinyi propped himself up with a weak hand, attempting to get up.
What are you doing young master? You havent recovered, Miss said you needed more rest!
Help me up. Wei Jinyi was pale, but his words were final.
Left with no choice, Xiaobei assisted Wei Jinyi off the bed.
Get dressed, were heading to Cangyun Garden.
Young Master Xiaobei was helpless, he got Wei Jinyi dressed as instructed.
After a few steps, Wei Jinyi suddenly stopped.
Young Master, whats wrong? xiaobei was shocked.
Wei Jinyi appeared to have thought of something, and he revised his instructions: Help me back to bed.
Xiaobei didnt know what caused his young master to change his mind, he only knew it was a good thing that the young master was willing to go back and rest, so he quickly helped Wei Jinyi back.
After Wei Jinyi settled back on his bed, he told Xiaobei, Go and find Guard Jing Hu immediately, tell him that my illness worsened and Im unconscious, with my life hanging by a thread..
