Chapter 623: Chapter 623 Daya Knows About Shu Yu’s Past Life Chapter 623: Chapter 623 Daya Knows About Shu Yu’s Past Life Daya finished drying the clothes and when she returned to the living room, she saw that the Sixth Young Lady’s complexion had improved quite a bit, so she too let go of some of her worry.
She poured the Sixth Young Lady a cup of hot tea, knowing that she had suffered from diarrhea in the morning and was probably very hungry by now, and then went to get two boiled eggs for her.
The Sixth Young Lady was very embarrassed, but her stomach was indeed empty and she felt some gnawing pain.
Daya pushed them toward her, “Eat, there’s no reason for you to go hungry in our home.”
“Thank, thank you, Sister Daya.” She had originally planned to sit for a while and leave once she felt better.
Daya took a basket with needle and thread and sat by Shu Yu’s side to make clothes for her, while watching her eat, she asked, “Sixth Young Lady, may I ask you a few questions?”
“Mhm, go ahead, ask.”
“I want to ask, what was it like for our Yu when she was with the Shu family?”
The Sixth Young Lady swallowed the egg. She was young and not as cautiously astute as Madam Hou.
If Madam Hou were there, she would most likely have brushed off such questions with a laugh. After all, if the Lu family members were asking such questions, it was evident that Shu Yu hadn’t told them anything about her past.
Moreover, Madam Hou herself had weathered many hardships and could understand why Shu Yu didn’t speak of her past, knowing that she didn’t want the Lu family to worry.
But the Sixth Young Lady was different; she hadn’t thought things through in such detail.
Even because she had become close to Shu Yu during this time, she felt strong resentment towards those who hurt her in the past, and she angrily started talking about how Mrs. Xue abused Shu Yu.
At first, Daya was calm, but as she listened, her face became increasingly grim, and she was so absorbed that she didn’t even notice when the needle and thread pricked her finger.
What did it mean to fight with a dog for food, to be locked in a pitch-dark room at the slightest cry, to kneel in the rain with thin clothes on, or to be pushed into the pond and nearly drown?
Daya’s whole body was trembling. She never knew that Yu, at such a young age, had lived through such hardships.
That Mrs. Xue deserved to be cut into a thousand pieces!!
Tears reddened her eyes, and the Sixth Young Lady, talking and then glancing Daya’s way and seeing her state, suddenly fell silent, belatedly realizing she had said too much.
Feeling guilty and unable to finish her eggs, she apologized to Daya, “Sister Daya, I’m sorry, I… that is, it wasn’t really that serious, I was just so angry, I exaggerated a bit, really.”
The Sixth Young Lady was close to tears; she hadn’t meant to cause any harm.
Daya took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly as she said, “It’s okay, you did nothing wrong, thank you for telling me all this.”
The Sixth Young Lady was extremely unsettled, “But…”
“Just eat the eggs quickly, they’ll be cold soon and you’ll get a stomachache again.”
Daya managed a weak smile, and just then the old lady walked in, immediately sensing that something was off.
Why were both girls red around the eyes in what had been a peaceful moment?
Daya shook her head, “Nothing, we just talked about some upsetting matters.” She finally understood why Yu never talked about her past life since returning home.
The old lady was speechless, “Life is good now, our family is reunited, what could be so upsetting? Whatever it was has passed, let’s not talk about it. Come on now, let’s not sit around here, come out and eat.”
Daya put down her needle and basket, composing herself, and led an anxious Sixth Young Lady out of the living room.
Although the old lady was quite hospitable, the Sixth Young Lady, feeling as though she had done something wrong, couldn’t eat much, hastily drinking some porridge before excusing herself and leaving.
