However, Hou Shi quickly raised her head, her gaze coldly fixed on the second madam. "Do you think I can survive staying at the Shu family after going to the southwest?"
Hou Shi understood the nature of the Shu family members very well. Back when they had servants to attend to them, their lives were relatively comfortable, even for concubines and illegitimate daughters like her. But that was all about to change in the southwest.
Once they arrived there, without servants and money, concubines and illegitimate daughters like them would become the Shu family's servants.
Not only would they have to do the labor tasks assigned by the officials outside, but they would also have to serve these few people at home. How long could she endure such a life?
There was even a possibility that, in order to live comfortably, the Shu family might marry her off to a local wealthy landlord. Such things were not unheard of.
Previously, she had no choice, but now the situation was different.
While sitting on the cart just now, she had already discussed this with the Sixth Miss, and with the suggestion from the escort official. After they arrived in the southwest, they planned to find that Mr. Qi and ask him for help to sever ties with the Shu family and find a better place to live.
They would consider this as repaying the favor.
So now, she had no intention of maintaining a good relationship with the Shu family anymore.
Shu Yu had already come out from the "carriage" with a steamed bun in her hand, eating it slowly while observing.
Obviously, the second madam was infuriated by Hou Shi and the official's actions, and since the officials came to chase them away, she could only leave.
Hou Shi and the Sixth Miss got off the cart and their lunch today was the same as Shu Yu's, with much better food.
Hou Shi and the Sixth Miss walked towards Shu Yu, holding their steamed buns, but they were stopped halfway.
This time, it was the second Miss.
The second Miss was different from the domineering second madam. She was the legitimate daughter of the main branch and had already built a good relationship with the Fifth and Sixth Miss while in the cell.
So she tried to use emotions and persuade the young Sixth Miss to get herself a better treatment.
But as soon as the Sixth Miss saw her coming, she immediately hid behind Hou Shi.
Hou Shi had warned her earlier that the second Miss was not a good person, cunning and more dangerous than the main Miss and the fourth Miss. In the cell, she had no choice but to stand with the second Miss to avoid being isolated. That was why she temporarily sided with the second Miss.
The second Miss's plan failed, and she felt somewhat embarrassed. She glared at the Sixth Miss with a dark expression before leaving.
Hou Shi let out a low "tut," and said, "She wants to use my daughter. How wishful of her."
She held the Sixth Miss's hand and sat down next to Shu Yu, starting to eat.
Shu Yu had finished her food and read the situation from beginning to end. She was quite curious, "I thought you would temporarily maintain a good relationship with the Shu family."
Hou Shi was taken aback, then shook her head with a bitter smile. "It's not worth it. I know the nature of the Shu family members. None of them are good people."
"But what they said is also true. When we arrive in the southwest, the Shu family's second master and eldest young master will come. You are the second master's concubine, and the Sixth Miss is his daughter."
Hou Shi sneered, "So what? Without money or power, when everyone is tortured beyond recognition, we will no longer be concubines or daughters. By then, the Sixth Miss and I will only be the lowest servants of the Shu family. Do you believe it or not?"
Shu Yu pondered for a moment. "I believe it."
She had no hope for the character of the Shu family members. Even without servants, they would create their own servants.
