"Are you saying your husband killed you?"
"Forget it, let me tell you a story. Of course, I'll try to keep it brief; my earlier statement about waiting for ten minutes still holds. In this short time, I'll just wait quietly and fill you in on the situation. Sigh... It's been such a long time since I've talked so much to anyone."
I didn't say much, just nodded gently and waited for the story of the woman in white who was attached to Qian Xing.
It went like this...
The woman in white was named Xing'er, the seventh of seven siblings in her family. Due to their poor conditions, she married into this place when she was eighteen.
At first, her husband was extremely caring towards her, attending to her every need. Back then, she thought she would finally escape a life of poverty and live happily ever after.
However, contrary to her hopes, the happy days did not last many years before she began to be neglected. The reason being, she couldn't bear sons or daughters for her husband.
