“I didn’t make any mistakes! Why should I confess to the mistakes I didn’t make?” Wei Ruo insisted.

Yun Shi was furious: “Cuiping, Mo mo Zhang, take her to the woodshed! Don’t give her any food! She may come out when she admits her mistakes!”

“Madam!” Mo mo Zhang and Cuiping were startled.

It was the first time that the madam was so angry that she wanted to lock someone in the woodshed.

“Do it now!” Yun Shi ordered.

“Yes……”

Cuiping and Mo mo Zhang came to Wei Ruo.

“Miss……”

“I can go by myself.”

Wei Ruo didn’t lie, she turned around and left.

When they arrived at the woodshed, Mo mo Zhang whispered to Wei Ruo: “Miss, just admit your mistakes to Madam. You should give in and promise that you won’t do it again in the future, Madam will forgive you.”

“I didn’t do anything wrong, why should I admit it?”

Mo mo Zhang sighed helplessly, and could only close the woodshed door and lock it.

Once the woodshed door was closed, Wei Ruo’s surroundings became pitch black.

The air was filled with the mixed smell of dried firewood and dust.

Wei Ruo found a pile of straw and sat down.

The only light coming through the woodshed was a small window at the top, which was divided into several equal compartments by several wooden sticks, which also split the moonlight.

It was already after the Grain Rain*, but she didn’t realize it, because the weather was still cold at this time for the past few years. Tonight was cold. Wei Ruo couldn’t help but curl up a bit to reduce the heat emitted from her body.

*Grain Rain: during 20th April – 4th May. “Grain Rain” comes from the ancient saying that “rain produces a hundred grains”. In the Grain Rain season, in southern China, it often starts to rain significantly, and especially in southern China. Once the cold air meets the warm and humid air, it often forms a longer period of rainy weather.

She still remembered when she was sent by the He family to the Mojiazha courtyard, it was also very cold at night.

At that time, her nanny and Xiumei were next to her, and the three of them slept together.

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

She didn’t want to go back to the Wei family, but she still came back.

She didn’t want to argue with Wei Qingwan, but somehow she got into it.

She tried her best to avoid fighting with her family, but still got involved.

Wei Ruo leaned against the mud wall of the woodshed, and couldn’t help but reminisce about her past life.

In her previous life, she had an alcoholic and abusive father, and a submissive mother.

Although she was admitted to the top university with her talent and hard work, and learned all the skills from her master, she couldn’t escape from her rotten family.

The alcoholic father approached her and asked her to pay for the price of raising her after she graduate.

When she disagreed, her father began beating her.

Her mother rushed to protect her and held her in her arms, but was beaten to death by her father who had lost his sanity.

Then she picked up a scissor on the table and stabbed her father to death.

In this life, she worked hard to make money, and she tried hard to settle down in this world relying on her own strength rather than others’ pity.

But she still didn’t change anything, and she would be punished if she didn’t let the people in this family get what they wanted.

In the previous life she was unable to gain control of her destiny through her studies, and in this life she was equally powerless.

This sense of powerlessness enveloped her, making her breathless.

After the doctor who rushed to the Colonel’s Mansion diagnosed Wei Qingwan, he went to write a prescription for medicine.

Leaving Mo mo Li and Cuihe to take care of Wei Qingwan.

With a worried look on her face, Wei Qingwan cautiously asked Mo mo Li: “Mo mo, will I be found out if I tell a lie?”
