"Father was furious, locked me in the embroidery building in the mansion, and told my mother that I would not be allowed to step out of the house until I got married."

Madam let the sleepy little peacock rest on her lap, and stroked his hair with her fingers.

While saying this, she kept staring at his face, her expression was calm, and she couldn't read much resentment.But judging from the current situation, this story will not usher in a good ending when it comes to the end.

"And then?" I sat cross-legged on the ground, with my arms on my legs and my hand on my chin: "Have you looked for him yet?"

The madam finally took her gaze away from the little peacock's face and looked into the distance.Outside the door, the sky has gradually turned white.

"I heard that peacocks spread their tails for courtship." She murmured, "but I don't know whether he wanted to dance for me on purpose, or if he was just drunk. I was imprisoned in the embroidery In the building, I suffered for three days. I finally made up my mind to ask Xiao Cai to find out. If he is really interested in me, no matter whether he is a human or a demon, I will go with him."

Back then, Qin Sangluo took advantage of the dark night and resolutely jumped off the embroidery building, and limped towards the wine cellar.Along the way, she was especially afraid that Xiao Cai would hate her for leaving without saying goodbye, and had already left, so when she saw the familiar faint fire still shining in that corner, she was overjoyed.

However, when she saw the scene inside clearly, she froze on the spot.

Beside the candlelight, Xiao Cai was dozing off with her head on her head, and a small bundle had already been packed under her feet.The surroundings are clean, and all traces of living here have been erased.

He is going to leave.

"You came."

Before Qin Sangluo regained consciousness, Xiao Cai had already woken up.He stood up rubbing his eyes, walked towards Qin Sangluo, and whispered:

"I thought you wouldn't come back."

"I'm getting married." Inadvertently, she said this sentence suddenly: "Aren't you going to stay for the wedding?"

As soon as the words came out, she wished she could slap herself.At the same time, however, she was extremely eager to know his reaction.

Hearing this, Xiao Cai was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down, and said with a slight smile, "Congratulations."

How hopeful I was, how disappointed I am now.Qin Sangluo lowered her eyelashes, countless thoughts flooded her mind.Suddenly, she remembered that the other party had always treated her as a man, so she couldn't help raising her head, and said eagerly: "Xiao Cai, I..."

"I'm leaving, I'm sorry, I can't stay to drink your wedding wine." Xiao Cai interrupted her just as eagerly, took out a package from her bosom, and stuffed it into her hand without any explanation, "This is your gift." All my things are here. However, I lost one of those chopsticks, and only one is left to return to you, Hezhang, you won’t blame me, will you?”

Being blocked like this, I can't say what I wanted to say before.

Qin Sangluo shook his head.

"Actually, three days ago, when I recovered from my injury, I planned to leave. But I thought, even if I had to leave, I should say goodbye to you." Xiao Cai patted her on the shoulder, "Please don't worry about what happened that day. Take it to heart. No matter where I go in the future, we will be good friends."

In this way, they smiled and said goodbye.Watching Xiao Cai's back go away, she knew that he could finally be a free peacock again.And he will never know how long she hid in bed and cried after returning home that day.

"After that day, I completely gave up my heart and obediently married an apprentice selected by my father. I thought that my life would go on like this, just like my parents planned for me before. But who You know, apart from Xiao Cai, I can't accept anyone anymore. Especially this man who was chosen as my official, he is a hypocritical villain at all."

When Madam started talking about her past with Little Peacock, Yan Biao on the side started scolding, and he was not idle even after being tied up.Hearing now, he began to speak ill of his old master, and the scolding was even more endless.I thought he was swearing too badly, so I went over and plugged his mouth, and finally my ears were clean.

I clapped my hands and sat back beside Fa Hai.Looking at his handsome and cold side face, for some reason, I suddenly felt a little guilty,

I was born with a chatterbox, and I couldn't stop talking even when I was doing that, forcing him to gag me with a cloth strip.Fahai, will he find me annoying too?

My heart was full of mixed feelings, but the wood next to me obviously didn't notice, still facing his wife, and went straight to the point:

"So, the death of your official is really related to you?"

Madam put away her sadness, and sneered with a smile on her lips: "What's the matter, what's the matter, are you two going to report me to the government?"

Fa Hai's gaze suddenly turned cold, while Mrs. Li's expression suddenly changed, and she said in a whisper, "Ma'am, are you talking to Mr. Qin..."

"My father was wrong about choosing a son-in-law for me." Madam ignored her, and continued on her own: "He thought that although this man's family background was poor, his family background was clean anyway, and when he was an apprentice, he was so innocent." Smart and eager to learn, he can help the family business after getting married. Who knows, after getting married, his nature was exposed, he was good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and owed a large amount of debt. The creditor forced him to come and force my father to pay it for him. My father was He was so angry that he felt sorry for me, so he hanged himself in this wine cellar."

Then Yan Biao started to keep saying "hmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" again.

"After my father left, the creditors didn't dare to push too hard when they saw that they had forced people to die. My official has never recovered from the slump. He only knows how to drink to relieve his sorrows, and he doesn't even have the heart to run a wine shop. I just gave birth to a child , supported the wine shop by himself, sold a few more shops, and finally paid off the debt. I asked him to divorce me, and I broke up with him from now on. He will never get a penny of the Qin family's money. Seeing that I was unmoved, he invited me to this abandoned wine cellar, trying to persuade me one last time."

"I made up my mind a long time ago that I must reconcile with him. I just thought about the relationship between husband and wife and didn't want to tear myself apart with him, so I agreed to go to the appointment. Who knows, he actually put medicine in the wine I drank, trying to force me to marry him. He made out and made me conceive another child. Then I couldn't get rid of him no matter what."

"The child before was born to me in order to repay the kindness of my parents. Since then, I have never had sex with him. I don't want to look at him at home, let alone in this place .”

"So, you killed him?"

"No." Madam shook her head wearily, "No matter how cruel I am, I'm a woman who can't do great things. After being entangled by him, I just wanted to escape quickly, so I struggled desperately, and finally got rid of it. Immediately leave that place, there is no need to care about his life. Later, I heard from the servants that he did not come back after going out that day. I bravely went back and found that he was soaked in the wine pool and had passed away. Probably It was the one that I accidentally pushed down that night, and drank too much wine, and couldn't climb up again."

Yan Biao's "hmmhhhh" became even more intense, and he even started trying to break free from the rags that bound him, his eyes were so red that they were about to spit fire.

"I was so scared that I fell ill for a few days. I didn't dare to tell others about it, and I was afraid of being haunted by his wronged soul. I was worried that I had no reason to ask an expert to do it. Suddenly strange things started to happen in the town. Several wells dried up one after another. The commotion was panic-stricken, so our family paid money on behalf of everyone and invited monks and Taoists to do the deed. Those people said that my official drowned for no reason, and they were afraid they would make trouble. , parked the coffin at home for seven days and seven nights before being buried, and set up a barrier inside and outside the house. Who knows, not only is it useless, but it also caused Xiaocai to suffer for no reason."

I couldn't hold back for a moment, and interjected again: "He must have thought you were your official, so he tried his best to break those barriers, and wanted to go in and see you for the last time."

Madam wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and suddenly placed the little peacock carefully on the ground, leaned over and knelt down towards us:

"I've said everything I can say, and I haven't hidden anything. Sang Luo is up to you. I just ask you to save him no matter what."
