Wei Anning was well aware that the Old Master was shrewd enough to have possibly known about the Leng Youchen brothers' feud all along, just without any proof. By offering to accept punishment, she was just confirming his suspicions.
She hung her head low, her eyes darting around as she racked her brain, sure that Grandpa Leng was trying to set a trap for her—it was just a matter of whether she was brave enough to jump into it.
With her hands clasping the Chinese redbud Branch, her attitude sincere, she said, "Grandpa, when I was young and ignorant, I made many mistakes. Fortunately, heaven showed me mercy by giving me an opportunity to make amends."
Anning wasn't foolish enough to say anything in front of the Old Master about not being Wei Anjing or the like. If she did, the Old Master would only think she was shirking responsibility and hate her even more in his heart.
Better to admit it and turn the page.
