▶▶ FULL-LEVEL BOSS DRESSED AS A PEASANT GIRL
As her belly grew larger, Madam Hou's mood became increasingly heavy.
The Third Miss was a concubine-born daughter, and her future child would also be illegitimate. Even though she was different from Aunt Xue, Madam Hou couldn't help but think about whether her own child would also suffer in the future.
Madam Hou often touched her belly and thought that she should accumulate blessings for this child.
Being resourceful, Madam Hou had learned the skill of observing others' words and actions during her time in the brothel. Several times, when the Shu family wasn't paying attention, she sent food to the hungry Shu Yu.
Especially when Shu Yu was locked in the small dark room, Madam Hou would quietly slip some snacks inside.
Perhaps it was the law of karma at work. When she was in labor, she fell victim to a plot. Her child couldn't come out for a long time, and the midwife took advantage of the situation, not giving her full attention during the delivery.
Madam Hou had made preparations in advance and sought a doctor two months ago. However, on that day, the doctor happened to be out of the city for a consultation, which was clearly a deliberate arrangement.
Coincidentally, on that same day, Shu Yu, who was locked in the small dark room by Aunt Xue because of a dispute over food with a dog, was bitten by a snake.
After all, Shu Yu was still the Third Miss, and the servants were afraid that she would actually die. The Second Madam happened to hear about the incident.
The Second Madam sent someone to fetch a doctor.
After the doctor treated Shu Yu and prescribed medicine, the Second Master brought the available doctor to attend to Madam Hou, who was in the midst of a crisis.
As a result, both Madam Hou and the Sixth Miss survived.
Perhaps because the newborn child was a girl, Madam Hou's subsequent days became somewhat easier.
She was grateful to Shu Yu, but also because she almost lost her life due to the snakebite, and the Old Madam was furious. The Old Madam found a little maid to accompany Shu Yu.
That little maid didn't serve much of a purpose, but she always stayed by Shu Yu's side, so Madam Hou naturally couldn't continue sending her food.
Therefore, Shu Yu never knew who this person was from start to finish.
Madam Hou also had minimal interaction with her. She would occasionally inquire about her news, seemingly without intention, although life was difficult for her, she had at least grown up.
After listening to Madam Hou's words, Shu Yu remained silent for a while.
No, she remembered this incident. She had gradually recalled all the memories about Shu Yu. However, it happened so briefly, and that person had only sent her food a few times before disappearing. Shu Yu thought it was just some servant who pitied her and sent her food a few times.
As for who it was, there was no way to investigate or find out.
Now, thinking back, although what was sent was buns and steamed bread, occasionally there were delicate pastries that servants couldn't afford.
Shu Yu looked up at Madam Hou, truly not expecting that this person... was her.
She paused for a moment and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this from the beginning?"
"Because I made a misjudgment at first," Madam Hou smiled. "I, like the others in the Shu family, thought that you, being alone, would eventually have to compromise with the Shu family and be suppressed again. I didn't want to join them in bullying you, but I also wanted to protect myself and keep my distance from you, not wanting to become a target of the Shu family like the Sixth Miss."
Being exiled was already difficult enough, but if she were isolated and marginalized, even in the southwest, she wouldn't be able to survive.
