Chapter 137 You are your own best support

Shang Zexi felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

My friend is so popular with the opposite sex; she can't stop the advances of suitors no matter what she does.

He couldn't afford to cause any more trouble for Qin Yeting.

He could only lower his voice to explain, "Anyway, no matter what happens, Boss Qin only has his sister-in-law in his heart!"

"Ha, you're definitely on his side." Shen Xiangxiang rolled her eyes, refusing to listen to Shang Zexi's nonsense anymore.

Meanwhile, let's talk about Xia Yue.

After moving into the Bai family home, she and Bai Yanhua spent an entire afternoon cleaning the house until it was habitable.

By dinnertime, the two were exhausted and hungry.

I wanted to go out and find something to eat, but I discovered that the Bai family's house was very large and had many rules.

I can't go here, I can't go there, and I can't even order takeout.

They asked how to solve the problem of eating.

Then I got two packs of instant noodles.

It's two packets, not two buckets. You'll have to go back and get a bowl to soak them yourself.

"Tsk tsk, the Bai family is so stingy! And they call themselves an Earl's Mansion!" Xia Yue complained repeatedly.

Bai Yan, however, was used to it and even joked, "At least this kind of food isn't poisonous, which is better than that kind of thing of unknown origin."

"Sigh, you're right." Xia Yue hugged the instant noodles even tighter.

Although she wasn't afraid of poison, ingesting too much poison would still be troublesome.

The two hadn't walked far when they encountered a middle-aged woman dressed in shabby clothes on the road.

The woman was lame, walking with a limp, using a cane in one hand and carrying a bag of vegetables in the other, looking very distressed.

Xia Yue was hesitating whether to go over and help when she heard Bai Yan instinctively call out, "Mom!"

The woman looked up; her eyesight seemed poor, and she could only squint. She cried out in surprise and delight, "Yan'er? Yan'er? Is that you?"

Bai Yan wanted to rush over, but she could clearly see that there were cameras all around.

Her current appearance is completely unrelated to the original white smoke.

Bai Yan clenched her fists tightly.

Xia Yue instantly realized that the woman must be Bai Yan's biological mother.

How painful and helpless it is for a mother and daughter to meet but not recognize each other.

"I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else," Bai Yan denied, biting her lip.

Xia Yue then went over to change the subject, "Madam, hello, do you need any help?"

"No, no, no, I am not Madam, please don't call me that."

The woman quickly declined.

The Earl's mansion can only have one principal wife; she was merely the third concubine.

"Then I'll call you Auntie. Auntie, where do you live? Your things are too heavy, let us help you."

After Xia Yue finished speaking, she took the things from the third concubine's hands.

He gave Bai Yan another look, signaling her to help the third concubine.

Bai Yan finally had the chance to get close to her mother, only to discover that her mother was living such a miserable life.

And there was nothing she could do.

This feeling is incredibly frustrating.

She helped the third concubine walk.

The third concubine's eyesight is poor now, but her intuition remains unchanged.

She could sense a familiar feeling emanating from the little girl who was supporting her.

She looks a lot like her daughter.

But a few days ago she heard gossip from some maids that her daughter was not favored and had been abandoned by the pirate captain and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

The third concubine cried for a long time, making her already poor eyesight even worse.

If I hadn't met these two kind girls today, I probably wouldn't have made it to my lodging before dark.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much."

The third concubine kept thanking her.

"We haven't even asked who you are or what your names are yet. Are you guests of the Bai family?"

"I guess you could call me a guest, but I'm the kind of guest who can only eat instant noodles at the Bai family's place," Xia Yue replied casually.

Bai Yan kept her head down, holding back her tears.

When they arrived at the Third Concubine's residence, Xia Yue and Bai Yan realized how coincidental it was.

The third concubine lived in the courtyard next door.

However, that courtyard was even more dilapidated and filthy.

Although there was no household garbage, the ground was covered with leaves and puddles.

The third concubine was clumsy and had little money, so she couldn't clean up the place properly.

Seeing this, Bai Yan clenched her fists tightly. She clearly remembered that her mother had never lived here before.

It must be because after she left that the Bai family's bullying of my mother intensified. How despicable!

"It's too messy inside, so I won't invite you to stay. Thank you, kind ladies." The third concubine's voice was weak, but her eyes and brows were kind.

Bai Yan's eyes were red, and she wanted to cry, but she was afraid of being seen.

Summer Moon is still the most effective.

She walked into the house with a confident stride and said loudly, "Since we're already here, let me help you tidy up. Auntie, Xiaofang and I live next door to you."

Xia Yue and Bai Yan are now using pseudonyms.

Her name is Xiaohua, and Baiyan's name is Xiaofang. It's very rustic, but very practical.

Third Concubine didn't dare trouble the two young people, but she couldn't resist Xia Yue's friendly manner, so she went into the yard to get a broom and start cleaning.

Bai Yan also put the things that the third concubine was holding into the refrigerator.

The third concubine mentioned food, but most of it was vegetables, and they weren't very fresh.

The only meat was a piece of synthetic beef, which was frozen and not fresh.

As a concubine of the Earl's mansion, the third concubine lived in such a place without anyone to serve her, and the food was terrible.

It's obvious how bad her life must have been.

Even so, the third concubine still generously shared her only piece of beef.

"Guests are welcome, let's have dinner together. I don't really like meat, you can help me with that." The third concubine limped into the kitchen.
