Chapter 870: Chapter 781: Unwilling to Be a Slave (Part 1)

Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun originally intended to use this tactic to temper Wen Zhijin’s temperament. They felt that Wen Zhijin was mainly causing trouble for Wen Shuangshuang out of boredom, as she had no financial worries and nothing to do but eat, drink, and make merry. Naturally, jealousy and resentment towards Wen Shuangshuang would be her only occupations.

Now, by forcing Wen Zhijin to worry about making a living, with a mere two thousand in a big city, she could cover basic needs like rent and utilities, but not live well, so she’d have to find ways to earn more.

As long as Wen Zhijin was busy earning money, she wouldn’t be able to focus on Wen Shuangshuang. Before they die, most of their wealth would be donated to Wen Shuangshuang’s lab, which researches environmental management.

Of course, they planned to leave enough for Wen Zhijin’s retirement, not much, just enough so she wouldn’t starve. With some effort on her part, she could live well.

Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun thought this was a great plan, but they completely underestimated Wen Zhijin’s disposition. They never imagined that on the very day they were discussing this, Wen Zhijin, unable to endure her hardships, would go to the Wen Family to ask for money.

But, unexpectedly, she overheard their discussion. How could Wen Zhijin face the reality of the Wen Family’s tremendous wealth slipping away from her?

After eavesdropping, Wen Zhijin harbored even more resentment against Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun for treating her, their own daughter, worse than their adopted daughter, Wen Shuangshuang. Overwhelmed with hatred, she actually decided to kill them.

Determined, Wen Zhijin proceeded without hesitation. She first gave Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun a small dose of sleeping pills. Once they were asleep, she turned on the gas, lit a small candle inside, and left, planning to start a fire that would burn them alive in their home.

Fortunately, Wen Shuangshuang had always been wary of Wen Zhijin doing something malicious. Ever since Wen Zhijin was released from prison, Wen Shuangshuang had been keeping a close watch, which allowed her to save Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun just in time.

Knowing their daughter wanted to kill them, Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun were numb. Maybe because they were so used to disappointment, they didn’t even feel sad. With yet another failed murder attempt, Wen Zhijin was imprisoned again, receiving a heavy, life sentence, never to be released.

This time, devoid of familial love, Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun no longer sent anything to Wen Zhijin in prison. Wen Zhijin, who tried to murder her own parents, was severely bullied by her fellow inmates who despised her character even without provocation.

Previously, when Wen Zhijin was in prison, her cellmates had to hide their bullying from the guards. But this time, the guards themselves looked down on Wen Zhijin, who could kill her parents, and turned a blind eye to her being bullied.

Over time, the bullying grew more rampant. Within a few years, Wen Zhijin could no longer endure the torment and died in prison, never understanding why her reborn life was worse than before.

Reflecting on her past life, Wen Zhijin finally regretted her animosity against Wen Shuangshuang. Wen Shuangshuang was capable and had no intention of competing for the Wen Family’s wealth. Why had she been so obsessed with opposing her?

Her single-minded determination to suppress Wen Shuangshuang ended up ruining her own happy life. Even though she could have lived much better, she inexcusably wasted this rare chance at rebirth.

In this lifetime, after Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun passed away, Wen Shuangshuang chose to leave this world and returned to the Flower Sea Space. This time, her environmental restoration efforts were extraordinarily successful, earning her immense merit.

Capitalizing on her success, Shuangshuang continued to revisit worlds she had experienced before, intending to enter another reincarnation world. Her parents had previously chosen relatively easy worlds for her with minimal Demon Thought influence.

This time, Shuangshuang entered a world she had previously reincarnated into, where the Demon Thought’s influence was profound, and her reborn identity was so lowly and tragic that both her mindset and demeanor were vastly different from her inherently peaceful nature, heavily distorted by the Demon Thought.

In this lifetime, she was named Nangong Shuangshuang, born into an official family. Back then, Nangong Shuangshuang lived happily under her parents’ doting care and was naturally kind-hearted. But a sudden change occurred when she was fourteen.

Nangong Shuangshuang’s father became embroiled in a corruption case, was dismissed from office, and their properties were confiscated. The Emperor’s severe punishment exiled her father, and she and her mother were sentenced to servitude in the Violence Room.

The so-called Violence Room was a place in the palace for punishing guilty palace maids and eunuchs, as well as a few family members of dishonored officials. Those in the Violence Room did the harshest and most exhausting labor with the poorest living conditions, and once there, they could never hope to rise again.

Nangong Shuangshuang’s father, Nangong Chengxuan, was honest and perhaps bureaucratically stubborn, yet never corrupted; even as a third-rank official, his family barely maintained a few servants.

Commendably, Nangong Chengxuan was utterly devoted to his lady, never considering concubines despite having only Nangong Shuangshuang as a daughter. Yet, he was falsely accused of corruption, resulting in exile, and his beloved daughter and wife being sent to the Violence Room.

The Violence Room was reserved for family members of officials with grave crimes as it promised no good end, not even a natural death. Only serious offenses warranted such severe punishment of officials’ families. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Within six months of entering the Violence Room, Nangong Shuangshuang’s mother, Luo Yueying, died from exhaustion and sorrow. Her father also succumbed to illness during his exile journey. In half a year, Nangong Shuangshuang lost both parents, becoming sullen and withdrawn.

Nangong Shuangshuang always knew her father was not corrupt and that her uncle, Nangong Chengmao, was the one who embezzled disaster relief funds. She had once hidden in her father’s study to playfully scare him, accidentally overhearing a heated argument between Nangong Chengxuan and her uncle.

At that time, Nangong Chengxuan vehemently accused Nangong Chengmao of embezzling relief silver, saying it would ruin countless disaster victims and was utterly sinful.

He sternly warned Nangong Chengmao not to dream of buying his silence with money, refusing such blood-tainted silver. If Nangong Chengmao didn’t return the stolen relief silver for its intended use, he would denounce him publicly.
