Chapter 10 - 5 Sang Wan Teaches the Servants_2
The brightness in Liu Ya's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she hung her head in dejection. Those items were all more valuable than her; if she accidentally broke even one, selling her wouldn't cover the costs! Born into a poor hunter's family with many siblings, her parents had no choice but to sell her cheaply, which eventually brought her to Sang Wan's side. Although life with Sang Wan wasn't one of great wealth, she at least always had food and had never suffered abuse or scolding.
