A day before, under the moonlight.
A frail girl clad in coarse cloth was still tirelessly washing clothes with a laundry stick.
Her hands were wrinkled and bleached from the blisters caused by the water.
Her name was Yang Yuyan, the eldest daughter of the fortress lord of the Yang family manor.
As the eldest daughter of the fortress lord of the Yang family manor, how did she end up in such a plight? Naturally, it was because she had a wicked stepmother.
For a child who lost her mother early, having a malicious stepmother was very tragic.
Even more tragic than having a stepmother was that the stepmother then bore a son.
The two combined was a deathblow.
Since she could remember, she had never eaten a decent meal.
In the morning, she ate sweet potatoes, at noon it was regular potatoes, and in the evening, more potatoes.
Such a diet would make even dogs shake their heads, yet it was her daily routine for three meals.
