Wei Ruo continued, "Also, Lady Yuan has asked me to stay a few more days in the Government City. Tomorrow morning, someone will come here to pick me up. Can you imagine her reaction if were to share our conversation today word-for-word with her? How would she perceive the Wei Family? How would she view you, Madam Wei?"
"Are you threatening me?" cried Mrs. Yun in disbelief. Her obedient and well-behaved daughter from a few days earlier was now uttering such words!
"If you discussed with me in a fair and straightforward manner, I wouldn't resort to threats. But today, if I don't threaten you, the fate awaiting me is confinement, just as I was locked in the firewood room when my younger brother fell ill," Wei Ruo explained coldly.
"This is rebellion, you're rebelling!" Mrs. Yun could not contain her anger.
"Rebelling against what? Against your bias and your injustice. If you have indeed done no wrong, why would I stand against you in this way?" Wei Ruo responded.
