"Yes, my neighbor's husband died before, but she never cried as sadly as you did."
"You don't know. When the Marquis left just now, his face was very gloomy. I heard that he had a big quarrel with his wife and slapped her so hard that she vomited blood. The Marquis also scolded her for being an unkind mother and killing her own daughter."
