"B-but... it's not me!" Wenxi stammered, her voice quivering with a mix of fear and injustice.

She felt aggrieved, wronged without cause, and now chastised on top of it.

She couldn't understand why she was always the first to be blamed, her small form shrinking slightly under the weight of accusation.
