Chapter 148: The Moon in the Mirror (5)

The woman sitting upright on the wooden bed finally loosened her face and showed grief and self-deprecating, "No one can match Master Long's wisdom. I am convinced by Master Long's insight into this."

"The embroidered lady is so scheming that Long admires me. I almost dizzy in your mist formation these days. I discovered your identity secret last night and understood your various plans." Long Xingtu sighed softly, "When Yu was too extreme, it was an unintentional mistake to push Dai Jinglan and Yunniang off the cliff. Dai Jinglan pushed Yunniang into the well, which was not the original intention. However, Xi Niang, for your own selfishness, you ignored human life and refused to save him, and even became more severe. Using Chen Fei's guilt towards Yunniang, using Dai Yu's affection for you, he deliberately put Dai Yu to death! Unexpectedly, Dai Jinglan killed the old patriarch first, then Dai Yu, and forced herself to death, making your long-cherished wish for many years fail! Xi Niang, the murderer is hateful, but a vicious person like you is even more terrible!"

The embroidered lady smiled, "You have pity for Dai Yu? But in my eyes, Dai Yu's fate was burned to death, which was because he deserved it!"

She got off the wooden bed and stepped barefoot on the cold stone ground. She looked at the group of people outside through the iron fence. Her eyes were erratic and her thoughts gradually retreated...

"That year, the acrobatics class passed by Wuyang County and happened to be on the Lantern Festival. Yunniang and I were in full bloom. We learned art together since childhood, and we ate and lived together at the same age, and we went out to perform every day. We occasionally went on stage to perform operas. Life was simple and hard and happy. In the Yuan Night Lantern Festival, we performed the most exciting acrobatics at the most prosperous street intersection. There were many spectators and the scene was very lively. But I accidentally missed and smashed a bowl and plate on the chest of a scholar. He was handsome and handsome, and his words were perfect, better than all ordinary people. We fell in love with each other at first sight. This person was Dai Jinglan. Since then, Jinglan came to hold my place every day. I performed acrobatics. He watched quietly and was worried for me. I went on stage to perform operas. He sat down on the stage to cheer me up. We went to the riverside to set off the lights, flew kites outside the city, read and write, and went to the temple to burn incense together..."

"I have a deep love between Yunniang and I, and I will share with Yunniang everything in detail. But later, I didn't expect that Yunniang would have thought about Jinglan. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it at that time. If I had known it, there might not have been any subsequent incidents, and our ending would be different."

The embroidered lady was probably tired, so she sat slowly on the ground, holding her knees with her hands, her unconscious eyes were dissipated and she murmured, "Can you give me a glass of water?"

Long Xingtu signaled the constable to go and handle it. After the water bowl was brought, Long Xingtu opened the prison door and delivered it to the embroiderer in person, "After drinking enough water, continue to tell your story."

However, the embroidered lady did not drink water. She lowered her eyes and looked at the images reflected in the water bowl, with a bitter tone and hatred, "Master Long, do you know how much I hate this face? If I was still me and my face had not been stolen by her, the person I love would not be close to me, but it would be like a chasm that could not be crossed...Master Long, have you ever loved someone? Have you ever loved me so deeply? If you haven't, how can you understand the bitterness of my lovesickness?"
