"What era is this?" Shen Xiatang thought as she materalized in blood red clothing and red glowing eyes in what looked to be a family hall.
"Ye Shin ye, how dare you burn your little sister?" an old woman said before slapping a tall girl with regal posture across the face.
"Who is that?" Shen Xiatang thought as she looked at the beautiful girl in a purple hanfuri with a light purple headpiece mixed with a bit of white jade on her hair, who was holding her face in shock.
Looking around to see if her father who stood in the corner of her room next to her step mother will come to her aid, Ye Shin Ah watched in sorrow, as her father turned his face away from her.
Having no choice but to defend herself, Ye Shin Ye said "Grandmother, I didn't harm Ye Shin Ah." shakily as she tried to explain herself.
"It was her!" Ye Shin Ye said as she pointed to Ye Shin Ah in tears.
"Ye Shin Ah, did it to herself to frame me." Ye Shin Ye said only to be slapped again by the old woman.
"Sister," a girl with a smaller frame, a white hanfuri, a head piece of pure white jade and an innocent face said as she held onto the old woman's arm.
"I know you think that I am an eyesore because I am your dad's illegitimate daughter but I promise I am as quiet as a mouse, I take orders well and I will never try to steal what's yours sister." Ye Shin Ah said with so much sadness that the old woman and Shen Xiatang was moved by her speech.
"So why won't you let me be?" Ye Shin Ah asked sadly but Shen Xiatang noticed an odd look in her eyes that vanished in a blink of an eye.
"Your mother is dead!" the old woman said to Ye Shin Ye sadly.
"Your father had no choice but to elevate her status and make her the principal wife!" The old woman said referring to the newly appointed Mrs Ye who was trying hard to keep a triumphant smile off her face.
"Ye Shin Ah was just brought back from the countryside after suffering for years," the old woman said as she took Ye Shin Ah's hand between hers.
"Is it really so hard to get along with her?" The old woman said with grief.
"Look at her poor hand," the old woman said as she showed the angry red mark on Ye Shin Ah's hand from her elbow to the top of her wrist.
"What exactly are you, that to slander you-," The old woman said as she pointed to Ye Shin Ye.
"Ye Shin Ah would purposely pour scalding hot tea on her arm?!" The grandmother asked Ye Shin Ye in outrage before coughing violently.
"Grandmother!" Ye Shin Ah said as she tried to grab the old woman but the old woman put her hand up to stop her.
"Your health is important Grand mother." Ye Shin Ah said with a worried tone.
"It's just a spat between two sisters, we can sort it out by ourselves." Ye Shin Ah said but the grand mother held her hand up to silence her.
"No." the old woman said shaking her head.
"I must get justice for you today or how else would the Ye family live in peace." the old woman said with conviction.
"Anyone there, Anyone there," The old woman said and male servants came into the family hall.
"Drag this vicious grandchild of mine to a monastery in the countryside," the old woman said and Ye Shin Ye looked at the old woman in horror.
"No servant is allowed to go with her and not a single tael should be given to her." The old woman said and Ye Shin He began to shake her head in horror.
"Leave her there to fend for herself." The old woman said and Ye Shin Ye began to cry bitterly.
"And without my permission nobody is allowed to bring her back." the old woman said as she stamped her cane to the ground.
"Yes, old madam." the servants said as they tried to seize Ye Shin Ye but Ye Shin Ye pushed the servants hands out of the way and crawled to her grandmother on her knees.
"Grand mother, Grand mother, I have lived in this house for twenty years. " Ye Shin Ye said with tears in her eyes.
"What kind of person I am, you above all others can tell." Ye Shin Ye said as she pleaded with the old woman with her eyes.
"I didn't do it, I really didn't do it!" Ye Shin Ye cried as she held on to the bottom of her grandmother's robe but her grandmother kicked her away.
"Send her away!" the old woman commanded gruffly.
"Grand mother, Grand mother," Ye Shin Ye said as she was dragged out from the family hall.
"What a pitiful child." Shen Xiatang thought as she watched as Ye Shin Ye was dragged out of the family hall.
"Her mother just died and her father pays her no attention." Shen Xiatang thought.
"But I can't help her," Shen Xiatang said as she turned her back on the family before her.
"I must find a way to track down Shen Wan Ran's descendants." Shen Xiatang said but as she was about to float away, she saw something that made her reel back.
"What is that?" Shen Xiatang thought as she floated towards Ye Shin Ah.
"What is that above her head?!" Shen Xiatang thought with a snarl.
"Why is this the same star I saw above Shen Wu Ran's head right before I was executed?!" Shen Xiatang thought in rage.
