With a click, the bronze lock fell to the ground.
The Second Madam heard the noise, turned around, and sat on the chest. She looked at Xiao Yanyi with a smile and said, "Marquis, have you ever loved me? Even just a little bit, have you ever loved me?"
"Get out!" Xiao Yanyi, in a fit of rage, pushed her away, then opened the chest. Upon seeing the scene inside, he stood there dumbfounded, devoid of any expression.
The Second Madam watched his lost and forlorn look, then got up from the ground and began laughing wildly. She laughed and walked over, her gaze also falling into the chest, and she too was stunned.
Inside the chest lay a Yuan Qinghua narrow-necked Mei Bottle with a "Ghost Valley Descends the Mountain" design. It was just the Mei Bottle, without any sign of Tong Xiqiu.
She recognized this Mei Bottle; it was the one displayed in the main hall of the Rong County Prince Mansion, her father's favorite Mei Bottle during his lifetime.
