At this time, Qianru, Zhao Xianer, and the maid Ping'er were all dozing off, and they fell into a ball unexpectedly.
Xiaogushan is only twenty miles outside Nancheng.
They were riding in a carriage and were supposed to come back before the ugly time last night. Unexpectedly, just a few hundred feet away from the tomb, a parrot flew and blocked their way.
The parrot flew around them, shouting: "Sister, sister"
Qianru suddenly remembered that in her previous life, her younger brother Jing Heng once gave her a parrot. The parrot was smart and could recognize people, but it could only say two words: "Sister."
Unexpectedly, her previous body had been dead for more than a year, and this parrot was still lingering near her grave.
What a bird that only has love and justice!
Just when she was moved, the parrot took away the golden hairpin from her head.
After a while, he flew back and took away the pearl hairpin from Zhao Xianer's head.
Ping'er said that this bird is very evil and is quite famous in the neighborhood. People call it the "mourning bird" and anyone who is pecked by it will encounter misfortune.
Zhao Xian'er didn't believe in evil, so she grabbed the mud on the ground to drive the parrot away, but she didn't expect to make it angry.
The little guy swooped down and snatched away several pieces of jewelry from Zhao Xianer's head with his claws.
It hovers high, hidden in the night sky.
But they were in a low place with nowhere to hide, so they had no choice but to let it "fish".
Ping'er was very scared and said it must be because Qianru scratched the tombstone.
The parrot cared about the relationship between master and servant, and in order to avenge its master, it deliberately flew to make trouble for them.
The driver came to help drive away the car, but unexpectedly he fell to the ground after being scratched by the parrot's claws.
Zhao Xianer was also frightened when she saw this and did not dare to fight back.
Whatever the parrot wants, she will give it to him.
The hairpin on her head, the bead chain on her neck, the bracelets on her hands, and her rings were all "snatched" by the parrot.
The three of them were actually forced to sit in the wilderness all night with their heads held by a parrot.
It wasn't until dawn that the parrot flew away, and then he woke up the coachman and returned to the city.
This time, I unexpectedly met Xiangxiang, and it was so messy and confusing!
"What an enemy!"
After hearing the coachman's complaint, Zhao Xianer opened the curtain and angrily asked Xiangxiang to get in the car.
But Xiangxiang didn't listen to her like Qianru. He picked up his shoes and threw them at her, scolding her: "Zhao Xian'er, you vicious woman, where did you take my sister?"
In order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings between the two, Qianru quickly got out of the car to comfort Xiangxiang.
Unexpectedly, when Xiangxiang saw that her hair was disheveled, he thought she had suffered a big loss, so he rushed onto the carriage, grabbed Zhao Xianer and beat her. However, he was accidentally pushed out of the carriage by Ping'er, causing him to fall over and scream in pain.
"Good sister, she can't help but get into trouble with me. Please advise her properly, and I'll come visit you another day!"
"Vicious woman, if you dare to come, I'll break your legs!"
Xiangxiang was unforgiving, but he didn't have any energy to chase Zhao Xian'er, so he could only watch her arrogantly ride away in a carriage.
"Good Xiangxiang, good sister, you misunderstood."
Qianru helped Xiangxiang up and slowly explained to her what happened last night.
Xiangxiang didn't listen, "The look she gave me just now was so fierce, and she didn't mean to repent at all. Even if she wants to apologize to me for your sake, sister, I won't accept it."
"Why?"
"Just because I was tricked into Prince Gui's Mansion by her, so close. Just like that, it's enough for me to hate her for the rest of my life!"
Such harm was indeed unforgivable, so Qianru stopped mentioning Zhao Xianer in front of Xiangxiang.
And here, Shangguan Yuan was beaten by his mother, Shangguan Liu, for several days because he insisted on marrying Qianru, and he had been ill for several days.
Some of the old servants in the family persuaded Shangguan Yuan to be soft, while others urged Shangguan Liu to show mercy.
But both mother and son have stubborn tempers, and neither one is willing to give in.
That day, Shangguan Liu came to the small house where her son lived alone with her family secrets, preparing to force him to fight with sticks.
After a few brief exchanges of words, Shangguan Liu raised his whip and beat his son to a pulp, beating him until he was on the verge of death, and then walked away with a wave of his sleeves.
Shangguan Yuan fell into a drowsy sleep. When he woke up, he heard a child in the yard next door reciting a poem, "The thread in the hands of a loving mother, the clothes on the wanderer's body."
Shangguan Yuan's eyes blurred with tears as he listened and laughed.
Since childhood, in his world, apart from revenge, he has always been filial.
Once, his mother was as great as a god in his heart, but gradually he discovered that he didn't understand her at all.
She never explains, is domineering, stubborn, stubborn, never compromises, and even does whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
In the Qinzheng Palace, he saw his mother's old face turning red with rare embarrassment under King Gui's aggression.
I'm afraid only she herself knows what hidden secrets there are in those dusty past events.
She didn't explain, and he didn't want to ask further questions.
Instead of asking others and being led by others, it is better to check it yourself.
At this time, a parrot flew next to him.
"Sister, sister"
As soon as he heard the sound, he knew it was An Qianru's parrot.
This is a very recognizable guy. Anyone who treats him well will always be remembered by him.
When An Qianru was at Shangguan's house, he often fed it quietly.
After An Qianru passed away, when he was bored, he often secretly fed it and played with it.
This bird is so smart, it can actually find its own little house.
Shangguan Yuan was very curious, so he caught it and teased it, and unexpectedly found an jade ring on its toe.
"You're such a mourning bird, you're such a thief! Which girl did you robbed again?"
"Sister, sister"
"You call everyone sister, you are an idiot who doesn't distinguish between male and female!"
The parrot got angry and pecked him so hard that he begged for mercy.
Shangguan Yuan suddenly remembered that when he went to tease it a few days ago, he said that he had no money to buy a betrothal gift.
Could it be that for this reason, it specially robbed the jade ring and gave it to him?
"Hey, mourning bird, you're not really that spiritual, are you?"
The parrot was very sensitive to the word "mourning bird" and pecked him angrily until he got up from the bed.
"Sister, sister"
The parrot shouted, grabbing his sleeve with its claws and pulling it out.
Shangguan Yuan guessed that this guy was hungry and came to ask for food, so he reluctantly put on his coat and took it to buy food.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, the parrot flew to his horse and jumped on the horse's head, as if cueing him to ride.
I had just received a beating in the morning, and riding a horse at this time was simply fatal.
But you have to walk two streets to go to the restaurant, so riding a horse is indeed much more convenient.
That’s all, if you hold on for a while, it’s not like you can’t hold on anymore.
But when he got on the horse, the parrot flew away, turning back to tease him as it flew.
By some strange coincidence, he actually followed it to An Qianru's grave at the foot of Xiaogu Mountain. He suddenly woke up and was startled.
"No wonder people around here call you a mourning bird. You're so evil!"
"Sister, sister"
Shangguan Yuan shuddered when he heard this. Just as he was about to turn his horse around, the parrot caught him a string of beads.
After a while, there were all kinds of hairpins and bracelets, all of the best quality materials.
Shangguan Yuan was shocked. This guy, Qing, really came to give him a betrothal gift. He was really wronged.
How can I just accept property of unknown origin when I am a dignified official of the court?
So, he got off his horse and wanted to bury his belongings on An Qianru's grave. Unexpectedly, he fainted due to lack of strength.
Suddenly, a cloud came and blocked the sun.
The sky suddenly changed.
Qianru, who was dreaming, suddenly saw herself waking up from the coffin in her previous life, and was suddenly frightened awake.
She thought it must be because she saw the parrot at the grave last night.
There seemed to be a sparse sound of rain outside the window.
Looking back on his previous life, that little guy followed me in fine clothing and fine food, but now he eats and drinks on the grave every day, and is even called the "mourning bird".
Qianru couldn't bear it.
She wanted to go outside the city to have a look, and if she could meet it, she would bring it back and keep it, which would complete the relationship between owner and pet.
Xiangxiang heard that she was going to catch parrots outside the city and was very interested.
The two hired a carriage and came to the grave at the foot of Xiaogu Mountain. They did not see the parrot, but they found Shangguan Yuan who was dripping like a drowned rat.
Shangguan Yuan leaned against the tombstone, his face as pale as paper, and his situation looked very terrifying.
The two sisters cautiously stepped forward to check his breathing, but were startled by the parrot's head that suddenly emerged from his arms.
"Sister, isn't this the mourning bird you mentioned? Brother-in-law, isn't he already dead?"
