Shang Ruyi immediately understood.
She had sold herself into slavery from a young age and later became a renowned dancing girl in the Two Capitals. On the surface, it seemed glamorous, but everyone knew the hardships and pains behind it. If she had both parents or a reliable person in the family, she wouldn't have ended up like this. Moreover, her tone just now seemed to harbor quite a lot of anger towards her "uncle and aunt".
She softly asked, "Were you sold by your uncle and aunt?"
"Hmph!"
Lu Xiao snorted lightly and continued to turn her face to the side. Shang Ruyi watched her for a while, thought for a moment, and said, "If your parents were still alive, they would surely feel heartbroken."
These words were neither comforting nor particularly sympathetic, yet they caused a slight tremor of emotion in Lu Xiao's heart.
