"Is she dead?"
"Well, what do you think will happen to those who offend Madam? It's already good enough that she's still in one piece."
"Tsk, where are you going to bury her?"
"Just the sa place as others..."
Two servants walked out with bitter look. It was clear that they were given tasks that they have to finish soon.
Hiding behind the bush, the young Shan Yu waited until these two people couldn't be seen before coming out. He pursed his lips and looked into the main hall beside him, hesitating whether he should enter or not.
He was worried.
Worried that the person these two people talked about would be his mother.
After so hesitation, the young Shan Yu slowly made his way inside. He pushed the door open and his small figure peeked in.
There was only one person inside the large hall.
A woman was lying in the middle.
Even though it was not possible to see her face from this angle, the young Shan Yu knew that this is his mother. Because the clothes were the sa as the clothes that his mother wore when she went out this morning.
'Mother?'
Stumbling inside, the young Shan Yu walked closer and closer.
He saw his mother's pale face and the blood that hadn't dried up yet pooled under her. Her skinny body seed even weaker in this situation and her figure laid sideways, her hands were put together.
It seed that she had suffered a lot before this.
Seeing this scene, the young Shan Yu was silent.
He stood beside his mother, not knowing what to think about this and simply stood there. His mother...
The person whom he cared the most in his life, was now lying there, breathless.
The young Shan Yu felt his mind blank and he then spoke with difficulties, "Mother, are you sleeping here?"
No answer.
Even though this was the first ti the young Shan Yu saw dead people, he had the faint feeling that he knew that his mother would never answer any of his questions again in his entire life.
This thought made the young Shan Yu frown.
He didn't want this.
He wanted his mother.
But seeing his mother lying quietly in front of him, the young Shan Yu didn't know what to do. He wanted to bring her away from here, away from this bad place that caused so much pain and harm to his mother.
At the sa ti, the young Shan Yu knew that he couldn't do anything.
He didn't know how long he stood there before he heard rustling voice from outside. The two servants who were tasked to bring his mother's body away had returned. Even though the young Shan Yu was unwilling, he turned around and hid behind the table there.
The young Shan Yu couldn't do anything but watch as the two servants carried his mother's body away.
He stayed hidden.
No words were said.
When the two people had finally left, the young Shan Yu ca out and looked at the place where his mother laid. Only bloodstains remained on the ground and the young Shan Yu stood there.
Tears stread out.
...
This incident ant nothing for the Shan Family.
Because Shan Yu's mother was nothing more than a small maid, no one cared whether she
lived or die. For many people, their lives are worthless.
Whether they existed or not, no one seed to care.
And that was the case for Shan Yu's mother.
After this incident, the young Shan Yu was more often than not, forgotten by many people in the residence. No one looked for him and the only ti soone ca to see him was because the Madam wanted to beat him up.
He felt cold and no one cared.
He felt hungry and no one would feed him.
The young Shan Yu felt really lonely.
He had no one to care for and slowly made his way out of the residence. With his familiarity with various things, the young Shan Yu sneaked out of the Shan Family Residence.
His small body squeezed out of the holes.
And after the young Shan Yu ca out, he saw there were many people there.
'Where should I go?'
Ever since he was young, the young Shan Yu had never left Shan Family Residence. This ti, The ca out because he wanted to see the outside world.
His mother didn't dare to co out.
She told him that she also couldn't get out.
The young Shan Yu didn't understand. But when he tried to get out with his mother, the guards would block them.
So the young Shan Yu knew that he had to figure out another way if he wanted to co out.
And the other way that the young Shan Yu thought of was naturally through the holes that he
made.
It was just a small hole.
But it was more than enough for the young Shan Yu to co out.
After all, he was just a small 5 year old boy.
Added with the fact that he was malnourished and didn't have enough food to eat, the young
Shan Yu was really small.
Coming out, the young Shan Yu felt at loss for a while.
After looking around a few tis, the young Shan Yu slowly made his way to the street stalls
in the distance. He looked at the vendors who were selling foods and his mouth watered.
It had been a long ti since he last eaten.
But he couldn't go there and ask for food, can he?
The young Shan Yu rubbed his stomach, feeling rather conflicted. His mother always taught
him not to take things that didn't belong to him.
But he's really hungry right now.
What should he do?
Just as the young Shan Yu was busy deciding, he heard a man's voice coming not far from him.
"Kid, are you hungry?"
Hearing this voice, the young Shan Yu raised his head and saw a middle aged man and a
teenage boy not far from him. From their appearance, the young Shan Yu knew that they should co from good family.
