Her family was even more of a concern. They usually relied on her earnings to make ends et, and recently, since The Emperor arranged their living, their living expenses no longer needed to be paid by the madam.
"Mom, Dad, give so Silver, I’m hungry and need to buy sothing to eat."
As she walked down the streets of the Capital, Madam Wang’s stomach was growling. The streets were lined with vendors selling cooked food, and the aroma filled the street as the gentle breeze blew.
An old woman, ordinary-looking with a sharp-mouthed, gaunt face, imdiately scread, "Where would I have Silver?"
"Mom, don’t joke with . I give you my Silver all the ti. How can you not have money?"
"You girl, how can you talk like that? There are so many people in the family, everyone needs to eat, right? Your brother and nephew still have to study! Besides, the little Silver you give us each month is barely enough."
Madam Wang’s family consisted of five people in total. Besides her parents, there was a brother who was already married and had a son who was seven years old. Usually, her brother would take his son to the Private School, so for all these years, the entire household expenses depended on Madam Wang’s support.
Since being driven out of the War Prince’s Mansion, Madam Wang’s attire was no longer as luxurious as it used to be. The clothes she wore had been worn for several days, appearing sowhat dirty, and her face was no longer adorned with exquisite makeup, appearing very haggard. "Mom, do you know how your daughter earns those Silvers back?"
Before the old woman could say anything, a young woman’s mocking voice imdiately interjected, "Who doesn’t know? You earn your Silver by sleeping with n. Shaless, yet you dare to ask that openly."
This woman was Madam Wang’s brother’s wife. Usually, after her husband and son went to the Private School, she wouldn’t work either, just went around gossiping with the won in the village, living a very relaxed life.
Madam Wang was furious. All these years, she had supported the whole family by selling her flesh, yet they still looked down on her. Without saying another word, she quickly stepped forward and slapped the woman hard in the face, cursing, "You cunning person, you eat what I provide, wear what I provide, yet dare to look down on . Without teaching you a lesson, you would never know your place."
"Smack!"
The sound of a slap rang out crisply.
The woman cupped her cheek, looked at Madam Wang incredulously, and after a mont, burst into tears, turned around, and threw herself into the arms of a nearby man, sobbing, "Husband, she hit ."
The man gently patted her back, comforting her softly, "Dear, don’t cry. I will teach her a lesson for you."
"Okay."
Only then did the woman gradually stop crying. She pulled away from the man’s embrace, looked up, glared at Madam Wang fiercely, and stood aside angrily, waiting for her husband to stand up for her.
The man turned to Madam Wang and reproachfully said, "Elder Sister, there you are. You are a prostitute, earning your Silver by sleeping with n. My wife didn’t say anything wrong. Why did you hit her?"
"You... you..." Madam Wang trembled with rage.
These were her so-called family mbers, the family she supported by risking her health, earning money tirelessly for their upkeep. Yet, in the end, they still looked down on her.
The old woman carelessly said, "That’s enough, girl. You’ve hit soone, gotten angry, it’s ti to calm down, or else mother will be mad."
