“Father, mother, sister, brother-in-law…”

Yaoniang burst into tears, her delicate body trembled like a begonia in the rain.

Next to her was Liu’er, a laundry room maid from Rongxi Courtyard. She had been snatched to act as Yaoniang’s personal maid. Seeing Yaoniang crying like this, she was immediately stunned.

Others might not know, but how could she be unaware of how much His Highness favours Side Consort Su? Although there was a consort and two other side consorts in the manor, they were no different from being invisible. Besides, Side Consort Su treated people kindly and never loses her temper. The entire Rongxi Courtyard is fond of her.

Panicked, Liu’er wanted to coax her but was pushed away to the side.

It was Huiniang who pushed her away. Huiniang stepped forward and hugged Yaoniang: “Yaoyao, what’s wrong? What happened?”

“Sister…”

Wu-shi also came over with tears in her eyes. “Have you been wronged here? If you’ve been wronged, tell your father and me…”

Yaoniang was still crying.

“What happened to you? Are you trying to make your sister die from anxiety?!”

“Sister, mother…” Yaoniang wiped away her tears and forced a smile. “I’m fine. I’m fine. I just miss you all.”

“Where’s Xiaobao?” Huiniang asked.

“Xiaobao he, he…”

“What happened to my Xiaobao? What about Erbao? Say something! Was it that consort who couldn’t give birth to a child that took our Xiaobao and Erbao away?!”

It wasn’t that Yaoniang didn’t want to speak, but she just didn’t know what to say. Before she arrived, she had thought about everything. The only matter she didn’t know how to explain was that of the two children.

But seeing her expression of hesitating to speak, people couldn’t help but overthink. Wu-shi wasn’t a well-educated woman. The level that princes and consorts were at was beyond her scope of understanding. She only knew that they were more important than the county magistrate. As for how much more important, she didn’t know.

She also knew that her daughter was a concubine. How good could being a concubine be? On the street where her family lived, the owner of a shop took in a concubine. Unfortunately, there was a female tigress at home. The concubine had to wake up early every morning to empty the chamberpots. She was busy all day and night, and only after she finished everything in the store was she allowed to go to sleep. Every now and then she would also be beaten and not given any food.

How could living like that be any good? It was simply plain suffering.

As Wu-shi imagined the type of days her daughter must be living, she regretted and hated. What she regretted most was that she shouldn’t have let her son marry Zhu-shi. What she hated was that she was incapable of controlling her daughter-in-law and had let her hurt her daughter like this.

If that Zhu-shi didn’t enter their door, Yaoyao wouldn’t have been driven to the Yao Family’s house. Naturally, the incident that happened after wouldn’t have happened and Yaoyao wouldn’t need to suffer like this.

“You call this being fine? My poor daughter! You have suffered so much. It’s mother who is incompetent. It’s mother who can’t protect you. It’s mother…”

Wu-shi hugged her daughter, crying bitterly. Her tears could not stop falling down.

“Cry, cry. All you do is cry. What’s there to cry about? So unlucky!” Su Xiucai was so angry that his goatee shook as he scolded.

As usual, Wu-shi was immediately too frightened to speak.

Wu-shi was quite afraid of Su Xiucai. She didn’t know a single character, but her husband was a scholar. The status of a Xiucai wasn’t something easy to get. Even if Su Xiucai was very pedantic and the Su Family was impoverished, Wu-shi was still full of awe for Su Xiucai. Part of this awe was also because of her instinct to treat her husband as the sky. In the Su Family, whatever Su Xiucai says, goes.

It may have been the rage that had been simmering in her heart or it may have been stress that cause the outbreak. It may have been her motherly instinct seeing her daughter in distress that took over. Wu-shi usually kept silent, but today she cried and said loudly, “Why can’t I cry? What’s wrong with crying because of my daughter? If it wasn’t because you always disliked Yaoyao, would my Yao’er have ended up in such a state? As a concubine, she can’t even raise her own children. Like a servant, she’s getting beaten every day and not given any food…”

The real question was: Wu-shi, with which eye of yours did you use to see Yaoniang getting beaten every day and starved?

Jin Wang received news of their arrival as soon as he returned to the manor, and he came over immediately. As he walked over, he felt it sounded a little suspicious. Now that he saw the scene, he naturally didn’t appear and just stood outside.

It was also a coincidence that there was a pillar blocking him. He could see what’s going on inside, but unless the people inside were looking at the right angle, they wouldn’t be able to see him. Jin Wang peered inside and saw Yaoniang aggrieved and crying as she fell into the arms of her mother and sister, like a tortured little wife.

She had deliberately worn some old clothes, but her skin was rosy and glowing. Although it didn’t look like she had a lot of meat on her body, she had flesh in all the right places.

Soft, tender and smooth, he liked to rub them the most. She couldn’t stand it when he rubbed them and would always softly beg for mercy. It was also because she was too delicate. Even if they hadn’t done anything yet, she would still blush. A pink dewy flower combined with her jade-white bottom, no matter how one looked at it, it was still fatally attractive…

How could someone think she was beaten every day and not given anything to eat?

Little liar!
