Yu Hongxiu's words obviously made Bai Ruozhu feel much better, but then Bai Ruozhu thought of Yu Hongxiu's family affairs and couldn't help but feel for her too.
A little girl had to face the complexity of the household from a young age, with five stepmothers besides her own father. Even though she spoke lightly of the situation now, she must have been heartbroken once.
Bai Ruozhu took Yu Hongxiu's hand and said, "Sister Hongxiu, thank you. You've had it tough too."
Yu Hongxiu waved her hand carelessly, "It's all in the past. I haven't got the short end of the stick. Now, Xie Dun doesn't have any elders meddling, and he won't take a concubine either. My life is actually quite comfortable. In another family, if a couple doesn't have a child in two years' time, they would start considering taking a concubine."
She had a smile on her face when she started talking, but towards the end, there was a hint of desolation.
