It was no wonder that the woman thought so, as Xuemei was dressed far better than ordinary maids, and even better than some daughters of small officials.
Xuemei bowed politely and then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I came to see the wine."
She wanted to make it clear beforehand, in case the wine wasn't good, she would still have to buy a jar as a scapegoat, wouldn't that be a loss?
The woman agreed with this and said, "Alright, miss, follow me. If you think it's good, then you can buy it."
As they entered the room, XNiao innocently looked around and asked, "Mrs. Hua, where is your uncle?"
"Your uncle has gout these past few days, and today he went up the mountain to dig for medicine since the sun was out." Mrs. Hua then opened the cellar door inside the room, and suddenly, a big, dark hole appeared before them.
One could see the vertical ladder from the entrance, but not the bottom. Looking down from above, it was pitch black, like an abyss.
