Night
After her mother and siblings were asleep, Cai Wei slipped into the Space and picked a Beautifying Fruit to eat from the Small Courtyard.
She had gotten used to eating a Beautifying Fruit every day during this period. The fruit certainly had miraculous effects on beautification. After eating it for a few days, her skin had gradually changed from the initial ashen color to a tender white, akin to egg whites. Especially, that slight touch of pink on her white skin made her look as lovely as a peach blossom blooming in March—exquisitely beautiful, indeed.
After eating the Beautifying Fruit, she went to collect a small bag of withered flowers among the blossoms. Her clueless mother had sold the flowers she collected last time to that evildoer, unaware of their real value. Such precious items were taken away by him for a mere hundred taels of silver. It was truly infuriating!
