Chapter 417: A Sympathetic Encounter
And according to Su Manxue's observation, this young lady may be just fifteen years old, because she still looks a little childish, and she doesn't look like a young woman at all.
Su Manxue couldn't stop shaking her head, but after all, this is someone else's family matter, and the eldest and young ladies are already married, so it's not good for her to say anything more.
"You sit down first."
Even in front of Su Manxue, an outsider, Mrs. Hou still didn't have a good face for the eldest young lady, and looked at her as if she was looking at an enemy.
Su Manxue didn't expect the relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be so bad, but what surprised her the most was that even if she was treated by Mrs. Hou with such an attitude, the eldest young lady was still not dissatisfied, and she was very obedient from beginning to end.
"The young lady looks quite small, I didn't expect to get married so soon."
She barely endured it for a while, but she still couldn't bear it, she always felt that the young lady was too wronged, and she was still a child, so she got married first.
If Su Manxue is not mistaken, the young lady has only been married for less than three months, and Mrs. Hou has changed her ways to let her have a child.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she felt, she only felt that there was a ball of anger in her heart, and she wanted to find a place to vent it, but she didn't, so she could only block it in her heart, which was really uncomfortable.
"It's not small, it's fifteen."
Mrs. Hou looked disgusted, she only had two biological children, the eldest young master and the third young lady, so she naturally doted on them in every way.
The eldest son opened meat when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and there were dozens of concubines around him, but none of them were pregnant.
She now has all her hopes for her daughter-in-law, and she hopes that she can conceive a child as soon as possible.
But from the moment she entered the door, her stomach has not moved at all, how can she not be angry?
Su Manxue glanced at the young lady and saw that she looked calm, she only felt that she shouldn't come out.
And Mrs. Hou didn't realize that there was anything wrong with her at all, she wished that her son would marry a wife and have children earlier.
Now that everything has been done, it is almost the last step to have a child, but it is a pity that these women are not angry, and none of them can conceive a child until now.
Mrs. Hou made an appointment with another lady to see the flowers together, so she asked her daughter-in-law to stay with Su Manxue for a while, so that they could have more contact.
After Mrs. Hou left, Su Manxue took the initiative to approach Mrs. Da Shao.
Su Manxue had never seen the young lady of the Hou Mansion before, she only knew that the young lady's family was poor, her father was a talent who had come out of the township with great difficulty, and her mother was a down-and-out daughter.
The Hou Mansion originally looked down on her background, but the other young ladies who were well-connected knew that the eldest young master had not yet married, and when she was so young, she already had more than a dozen rooms.
Their family background was not lost to the Hou Mansion, so it was naturally impossible to endure his behavior, so no decent daughter dared to marry their Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Hou had to retreat and finally marry her, but the eldest young master never liked her daughter-in-law and felt that she was too cowardly.
"Young lady, I rarely see you coming out and walking around in the past, but I can see you more when I have time in the future."
Su Manxue pulled out a little smile, she really wanted to be friends with the young lady, some of the experiences of the two of them were roughly the same.
She could see her own shadow from the body of the eldest young lady, and felt that they were really somewhat similar, especially Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Ji were extremely harsh in this regard.
Kong Shujing was a little surprised, she didn't expect to see someone take the initiative to walk around with her one day, and those women of her age from childhood to adulthood were unwilling to play with her.
felt that she would look cringe, not generous at all, and even Kong Shujing was already married, but she didn't even have a close friend around.
"Mrs. Ji can come to me more often when she is free, it just so happens that I have nothing to do in the mansion during the day."
Kong Shujing said cautiously, the first time she took the initiative to be friends with others, Su Manxue originally thought that she would resist herself, but she didn't expect Kong Shujing to accept herself.
This made Su Manxue feel very pleasantly surprised, as long as she was willing to accept herself, she was sure that she could approach her quickly.
The two of them talked, Kong Shujing had no defensive heart at all, and soon told Su Manxue everything about her current situation and what happened before.
Only then did Su Manxue know that Kong Shujing did not voluntarily marry the eldest young master of the Hou Mansion, she originally had a childhood sweetheart who she liked very much, and the two of them originally agreed to get married as long as she and Lu.
But God did not fulfill people's wishes, Kong Shujing's mother died of illness not long after, and Old Man Kong married a stepwife and entered the door.
The stepwife has a child by her side, and she is not used to seeing Kong Shujing at all, and she feels that she is cowering and easy to bully.
She often bullied Kong Shujing for various reasons, and she didn't give Kong Shujing food, so that she was hungry and thin.
Kong Shujing was so hungry that she had no choice but to complain to her father, thinking that her father would be on her side and at least say a few words for herself.
But her father didn't believe Kong Shujing's words at all, and she knew at that time that her father had been deceived by his stepfather a long time ago, not only did he not believe his words, but he also felt that he was deliberately lying.
Kong Shujing was locked in the room and starved for several days, if it weren't for the maid Ji Shi, who was guarding the door, who found her fainting from hunger and told her grandmother about it, she would have been starved to death by now.
In order to be able to escape such a day, Kong Shujing had to agree to the proposal of the Hou Mansion, she did not have many wishes for the rest of her life, she just wanted to eat well.
Su Manxue was distressed when she heard what happened to her, but she didn't expect that in a place she didn't know, someone would be ten or even dozens of times worse than herself.
"Your stepmother is really not human, she actually abused you like this, and your father is really mediocre, can't you really see it?"
Su Manxue felt that it wasn't that Old Man Kong couldn't see it, it was just that he didn't want to meddle in this matter.
Anyway, for him, Kong Shujing is just the daughter of himself and his wife, it doesn't matter at all, what he values most now is his stepfather.
Kong Shujing smiled bitterly and shook her head, although she was very slow in this regard, she was not unaware.
Since marrying her stepmother, her father has never cared about her anymore, and all the tenderness and affection have been given to her stepwife, and he is not important to her at all.
Kong Shujing has already looked down on these, he doesn't want to care about it so much at all, for her now, as long as she can live the current life, it is already very important, so she is very grateful to Mrs. Hou.
Although Mrs. Hou's attitude towards her was very cold, if it weren't for Mrs. Hou, Kong Shujing wouldn't know where to stay now.
Su Manxue patted Kong Shujing's back comfortingly, wanting to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.
"It's okay, you can tell me anything in the future, although I can't help you, at least I can listen to you."
She sighed, feeling extra powerless at such times, unable to help them at all.
