Hei Wuchang and Hu Shisanniang did not understand the meaning of Erniu's words.
Seeing their confusion, Erniu explained, "Since Sasha was murdered, and the crucial moment was the day before she was to marry me, the culprit must definitely have a contingency plan waiting for me!"
"So, I am convinced that the person who killed Sasha will appear again, and I really want to see what kind of trick that bastard will pull. You two hide in the shadows; he might show up tonight!"
Upon hearing this, the two women finally realized what was going on and followed his orders.
Erniu continued to keep vigil. In the late hours of the night, he suddenly heard a noise outside the Memorial Hall, which put him on alert.
"Who's there?"
Erniu turned his head toward the entrance of the ancestral hall and saw a beautiful woman in a black...tight-fitting... long dress coming out of the doorway directly opposite the Memorial Hall. She responded coquettishly, "Brother-in-law, it's me!"
