Bab 1139: Chapter 1139: How do you choose?_1

"Lord Shen, the reason I dared to confront Princess Bai Zhi outright is that I swore never again to be mistreated."

She stared at Shen Chenghao's face, a faint hint of mockery on her small visage, "Lord Shen seems to know a lot about my affairs, so you must understand the kind of life I've led—unable to keep any surplus grain or spare money at home, living every day in fear of being robbed and beaten by the Sun Family."

"My mother couldn't bear it and left, my father broke his leg, and my young brother was too little to shoulder the burden, so it all fell on me. The Sun Family even coveted our home and went so far as to say they would sell me to the brothel."

"Under those circumstances, I had either to endure or to rise up and fight back. I chose to rise up and fight back."

"What's so terrible about death? If I have to die, so be it—why live a life of misery?"
