Chapter 721: 721, from a prestigious family, rituals
‘What about big brother’s woman? He has a woman, but I have never seen her before.” Song Qinghuan curiously asked.
Then, she mumbled to herself again, “Does big brother hide her from others? I thought I didn’t have a sister-in-law. This is too low-profile!”
The expression on Li Qianze’s face suddenly became cautious. Lowering his voice, he reluctantly said, “They’ve already parted ways, why would she appear?”
“Ah? They’ve separated!” Song Qinghuan frowned and asked again, “Why did they separate? Why aren’t they together?”
Li Qianze hesitated for a long time, before finally saying gently, “I wasn’t in Q City before… I don’t really know what happened. If you want to know, you can ask your husband. He should know better than anyone else, because Jin Lin stirred some things up back then, and my brother got involved in big brother’s affairs… In any case, that’s how it went down… Finally, they separated inexplicably. That woman left, and as for big brother… He was the same as before, cold and ruthless. I suspect that he never truly liked that woman.”
Song Qinghuan’s slender fingers were interlaced, resting under her chin, “Second brother, after hearing you talk about it, I’m even more curious about who big brother’s woman is.”
Li Qianze warned, “Little sister Bai, don’t say second brother didn’t warn you, it’s better for you not to know about it. Don’t interfere with big brother’s affairs. If you can’t handle them, you will end up in a mess. You should think about the upcoming sacrifice ceremony, and how to complete the two-hour-long ritual while being pregnant. You absolutely can’t give birth during it.”
The Li family, as Jin Lin had mentioned earlier, was a very prestigious, ancient and well-known family.
They had been passing down their sacrificial traditions from generation to generation, with everyone in the family taking it very seriously, including Li Chengyun.
This was simply unbelievable to Song Qinghuan. Li Chengyun, who studied abroad and was able to reinvigorate the Li family, didn’t seem like someone who would believe in traditional religions.
Upon returning to the Li family house, Li Chengyun, as well as the older family members, all believed that Song Qinghuan must receive divine protection to safeguard her and her unborn child.
It turns out, from the oldest ancestor of Li family, the males were considered reincarnations of the Sky God, whereas the females would be protected by the Earth God.
The daughters of the Li family were always treasured. They would never betroth a daughter out of the family due to the family’s needs.
In other words, if a marriage alliance was necessary, the sons of the Li family would always be the ones to marry.
The daughters of the Li family, were given the chance to choose from a selection of outstanding suitors handpicked by the elders.
Even though Song Qinghuan was divorced and pregnant, they would not hesitate to provide her with such options.
Looking at the list, Song Qinghuan thought, if she hadn’t met Shi Yuhuan, she wouldn’t reject meeting the excellent men listed there.
But in this world, there are no ‘ifs.’
Because without Shi Yuhuan, she would never have discovered her true identity or returned to the Li family.
Every event that occurs isn’t just a coincidence.
It’s the composition of countless coincidences. If any detail is missing, the course of events would change.
On the day of the sacrifice, the relatives of the Li family all gathered at the old house by Cuiming Lake.
