Chapter 525 - 525: This Person… Was Her

However, as her stomach grew bigger and bigger, Madam Hou’s mood also became heavier and heavier.
Third Miss was a concubine’s daughter, so her future child would also be a concubine’s. Even if she was different from Mrs. Xue, she couldn’t help but wonder if her child would suffer in the future.
Madam Hou rubbed her belly several times and thought, she’ll just take it as accumulating blessings for this child.
She was a clever person. She did not learn anything else in the brothel, but she knew very well the ability to observe people’s expressions and act according to the situation.
Several times, when the Shu family wasn’t paying attention, she sent food to the hungry Shu Yu.
Especially when she was locked up in a small dark room, she would secretly stuff a few snacks into it.
It was probably karma. She had been plotted against during labor and the child could not come out for a long time. The midwife had benefited and did not do her best to deliver the child.
Madam Hou had made preparations herself. She had looked for a doctor two months ago, but that doctor had gone out of the city to receive patients that day. He was not in the city at all. It was obvious that he had been sent out.
Coincidentally, that day was also the same time when Little Shu Yu was locked in a small black room by Mrs. Xue because she was fighting for food with the dog. As a result, she was bitten by a snake.
Little Shu Yu was the Third Miss after all, and the servants were afraid that she was dead. Coincidentally, this matter was known by the first Madam.
First Madam sent someone to call a doctor back.
After the doctor gave little Shu Yu a check-up and prescribed medicine, Madam Hou’s illness happened to flare up, so the Shu family’s Second Lord dragged this ready-made doctor over.
Only then did Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady keep their lives.
Probably because she saw that the child she gave birth to was a girl, Madam Hou’s later days became a little more relaxed.
She was quite grateful to Little Shu Yu, but it was also because of that time when she was almost killed by a snake bite. Perhaps the old madam was also angry and found a little girl to follow Little Shuyu.
That little girl was not very useful, but since she was always following little Shu Yu, Madam Hou naturally could not bring her food anymore.
Therefore, little Shu Yu didn’t know who this person was.
Madam Hou did not have much interaction with her anymore. However, she would occasionally ask about her unintentionally. Although her life was not good, she had grown up.
After Shu Yu heard Madam Hou’s words, she didn’t say anything for a while.
No, she remembered this. She had already recalled little Shu Yu’s memories bit by bit.
However, this matter happened very quickly. That person never appeared again after delivering food a few times. Little Shu Yu () thought that some servant pitied her and sent her food a few times.
As for who it was, there was no way to find out.
Now that she thought about it, although the food was steamed buns, there would occasionally be exquisite pastries. These pastries were not something that servants could afford.
Shu Yu raised her head to look at Madam Hou in front of her. She did not expect that this person…It was her.
She paused and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about this from the start?”
“Because I was wrong in the beginning.” Madam Hou smiled. “I’m the same as the rest of the Shu family. I feel that you’re alone, and sooner or later, you’ll have to compromise with the Shu family. You’ll also be suppressed by the Shu family again. I won’t bully you with them, but I also want to protect myself and keep a distance from you. I don’t want myself and Sixth Young Lady to become the target of the Shu family.”
The road to exile was already very difficult. If they were isolated and ostracized, and this situation continued in the southwest, then they really wouldn’t be able to survive.
