Chapter 826 You were wrong to buy Ayu
Aunt Xue took a deep breath, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"But a grand mansion like the Shu family is the least able to tolerate such exclusive favor. I am just a concubine, with no money, no power, and no backing. Everyone else is eyeing me covetously. What can I do? I am an adult, so it's alright, but Ayu is still a child. Whether it's the First Madam or the other concubines, if they don't like Ayu, they might just take her life."
Aunt Xue probably thought that the Lu family were all from the countryside and had little knowledge, so she described the Shu family as a place like a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, although the Shu family was indeed not a good place.
"So all I can do is keep him away from the master. As long as the master doesn't spoil Ayu, she'll be much safer. But that won't stop the Shu family's malice. I have no choice. I'm a bit slow and can't think of a better way, so I can only make her wear rags, eat poorly, and become thin and small. When others see that she's ugly and lives a hard life, they won't be jealous of her."
"Although the method wasn't very good, it has already succeeded. Really, Ayu's presence in the Shu family has been very weak over the years. The other girls are all fighting each other, but none of them take Ayu seriously. I was thinking that once Ayu grows up safely and comes of age, I'll find her a good marriage, and then she can leave the Shu family."
Aunt Xue wiped away her tears. "Who knew, who knew that the Shu family would suffer such a misfortune, and Ayu was also implicated and exiled here. Fortunately, she is intelligent and capable, and things will finally get better for her in the future. It's just that she can't understand me at all. Years of unresolved issues have led her to have a deep misunderstanding of me."
“I don’t expect her to forgive me. Even if my initial intention was to protect her, it’s true that she suffered a lot when she was young. I’m here to see my brother and sister-in-law today for no other reason than to ask you to take good care of her from now on. As long as she is doing well, I will have no regrets.”
Aunt Xue was so moved by her own words that tears were streaming down her face, making her look truly heartbroken and reluctant to part.
But Lu Erbai and Ruan Shi didn't seem to make any move.
Aunt Xue couldn't help but look up, and then she saw a stick coming straight at her head.
Aunt Xue was shocked and quickly moved aside.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Don't call me sister-in-law." Madam Ruan finally found a suitable target. She glared at Aunt Xue with furious eyes. "You don't need to tell me what your difficulties or hardships are. If you really can't protect my daughter, then don't have bought her in the first place. If you hadn't bought her, she would still be living a good life with us, enjoying the love of her parents."
As Ruan spoke, she became more and more agitated, pointing the stick directly at her. "If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't have been separated for so many years. The culprit for our family ending up like this is you. Don't give me any nonsense, I don't understand it. All I know is that you bought my daughter and mistreated her."
As she spoke, she rushed forward and began to beat Aunt Xue mercilessly.
"You still have the nerve to cry? I haven't even cried, so what right do you have to cry?"
In fact, Madam Ruan did not know exactly what Aunt Xue had done to Shu Yu. They had never dared to ask before, but later they could guess without asking that Shu Yu had not been well when she was a child, otherwise why would she treat the Shu family so badly?
Even if we don't know what Aunt Xue did, the fact that she bought Ayu is already a heinous crime.
