Past friends.h.i.+p?

Shu Yu was really surprised. She was very confused. Did we have a friends.h.i.+p in the past?

Madam Hou was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly. You might not remember. After all, you were still young back then.

What do you think?

When you were around three years old, you were often locked in a small black room by Madam Xue. At that time, I had just entered the residence and was pregnant with Sixth Young Lady. I admit that Im not a good person, but as someone whos about to become a mother, I really cant stand to see such a young child being abused. So, when I had the chance, I sent you food a few times.

Madam Hou was originally born into the world of prost.i.tutes. She was bought into a brothel when she was young to serve the most popular girl in the brothel at that time.

Later on, as she gradually grew up, her appearance began to show that she was picky. The brothel madame saw that she looked tender and did not lose to other girls after dressing up, so she planned to sell her virginity at a high price.

It was that girl who protected her, but unfortunately, she could not protect her anymore. She had to think of a way to seduce a soft-hearted master from a rich family.

At that time, she was still a prost.i.tute. As long as the other party was seduced by her, it was very likely that she would be taken into the residence as a concubine.

Although the back of a rich family was not peaceful, it was still better than a prost.i.tute who slept with thousands of people.

Madam Hou had chosen a thousand and ten thousand and finally picked the Shu familys Second Lord.

Head Master of the Shu family was the magistrate, and the brothel madame did not dare to offend him. The second Lord was a soft-hearted person. As long as she used some tricks, it would not be difficult to deal with him.

Sure enough, the Second Lord redeemed her and placed her in a courtyard in the city. Later on, when she became pregnant, she was brought into the residence and became the concubine of the Marquis.

However, she did not dare to relax at all. There were many private matters in the back of a wealthy family, especially when she knew nothing about the unfamiliar Shu family. She did not even have a confidant by her side.

However, she couldnt stay in her courtyard forever. She had to figure out the Shu family as soon as possible.

Thus, when no one was paying attention, Madam Hou would occasionally go out of the courtyard to take a look around. When she met someone, she would say that it was a stroll. Anyway, the doctor had also said that it would be beneficial for her to give birth if she walked more. Otherwise, it was very likely that she would have a difficult labor in the future.

It was also by chance that she saw Shu Yu. At that time, little Shu Yu was hungry. She didnt know why, but she quietly ran out of Mrs. Xues courtyard.

Hou s.h.i.+ had never seen this child before. If she said that she was a servant, she didnt look like one. If she said that she was a young miss, then she didnt look like one.

Little Shu Yu was so hungry that she almost b.u.mped into her.

Madam Hou avoided it. She even felt that this child might have been found by Second Madam to deliberately cause her to have a miscarriage.

So Madam Hou turned around and left. As soon as she left, she saw a few old maids coming over from the other side with fierce expressions. The maids didnt see her and immediately carried the thin and weak little Shu Yu away.

As they walked, they scolded. Madam Hou learned from their conversation that this little girl was the Shu familys Third Young Lady, Head Master Shus daughter.

She found it inconceivable that the Third Young Lady of the magistrates family was living worse than a servant.

Moreover, that child was so young. She looked no more than two or three years old, but these people did not treat her as a human at all.

After she returned, that scene would always flash through Madam Hous mind.

Later on, she asked the Shu family servants who served her and found out about the Third Young Ladys situation at home.

Madam Hou originally didnt want to be a busybody. She was still besieged on all sides and thinking of ways to protect herself, so how could she have the energy to care about others?
