Yang Lian was startled by these words: "Husband, it is God's destiny to have a boy or a girl. How can it be decided by God?"
Suddenly, the two old men standing next to the Immortal in the Urn suddenly spoke gloomily: "Present... offerings!"
Immediately, two servants brought over the boxes prepared in advance.
Liang Jiunan paid attention to the expressions of the two people. Their eyes were numb and indifferent.
It seems... there's something weird about the things in this box!
When the box was opened, what was placed inside turned out to be some beautifully embroidered fabrics!
The colors of these fabrics are indescribably weird, but the patterns are very delicate. They are the patterns of a mother-in-law holding a child on the bedside.
Pei Ji smiled and said:
"These are the "Bedside Mother-in-law's Pictures of Hundreds of Sons"."
"Every time we worship the Immortal in the Urn, we will choose the best fabrics and let the servants work harder and harder."
"To worship the Immortal in the Urn, these are the only best offerings."
At this time, Yang Lian's mood had calmed down a little.
Come to think of it, she is also the daughter of a wealthy official, so she can keep her composure. Or maybe it's because she doesn't know how to make the Immortal in the Urn, so she just treats it as a special temple ceremony.
Yang Lian gently stroked the material, with a hint of approval in her eyes:
"The texture of this cloth... is indeed excellent."
"Husband, I have some knowledge of embroidery. But... I have never seen such a delicate fabric."
"Husband, how did you do this?"
Liang Jiunan also stepped forward at this time.
But after just one glance, a chill went straight to Tianling Gai!
What kind of fabric is this? It's obviously...
At this time, Pei Ji slowly said: "This... is human skin, and it is the skin of a newborn baby."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud thunder outside the house.
Yang Lian screamed and collapsed on the ground with a thump, trembling all over.
Pei Ji seemed to have expected this situation, and smiled and reassured.
"Madam, don't be afraid."
"The Immortal in the Urn has been worshiped in my Pei family for many years."
"These baby girls were also born to some of Pei's concubines and wives."
"These children, before they are born, will be distinguished between men and women by special Feng Shui masters."
"If it is a female fetus, it will be sacrificed with magic."
"When the day comes when a pregnant woman gives birth, all the flesh and blood essence of the child will be on the skin."
"Their vitality will only last for one day."
"Then, peel off their skin and use the mother's hair as silk thread to make the favorite offering of the Immortal in the Urn."
"That is...this "Bedside Mother-in-law's Picture of Hundreds of Sons"."
After Yang Lian heard this, she covered her mouth and retched subconsciously.
Liang Jiunan looked even more horrified.
When Pei Ji told all this, he still wore the same joyful smile as on his wedding day!
In other words, for him, this is nothing new!
The huge Pei clan actually relies on this kind of sorcery!
At this moment, Liang Jiunan suddenly remembered what Pei Ji's second wife, Mrs. Pei, had said.
She said that Pei Ji's concubines and wives should all die!
She also said that those children were born to suffer while they were alive!
If combined with the scene before him, Liang Jiunan still doesn't understand why Mrs. Pei said that that day! And why do you hate Pei Ji so much! So much so that the opponent's soul will be driven to pieces!
Obviously, after Pei Ji's family separation, in order to make his line of men prosperous, he also made plans to cultivate immortals in the urn!
However, the offering to the Immortal in the Urn requires a baby girl!
Therefore, Pei Ji set his sights on the concubine and his wife!
After all, these people are just slaves. Even if they are his own children, Pei Ji will not feel sorry for them.
Of course, this amount is definitely not enough.
Therefore, the "picking and cutting" mentioned in Yang Yun's handwritten letter forged by Changshengtian naturally also exists.
If we don’t have enough baby girls, we naturally resort to other ways to buy baby girls!
Moreover, for this matter to be accomplished, the concubine and the first-in-law must agree.
Therefore, they knew from the beginning that the child in their belly was a girl. They also know what will happen to this daughter after she is born!
But they did it anyway!
In order to fight for a future for myself in the Pei Mansion!
A child...in exchange for a lifetime of glory and wealth!
No wonder Mrs. Pei said those concubines should also die!
No wonder Mrs. Pei would drown her child after it was born!
Anyway...all the essence of flesh and blood is already on the skin. Rather than letting the child be skinned and die miserably, it would be more pleasant to drown!
Moreover, if they were really skinned and offered sacrifices, the spirits of those children would most likely not be able to bear it!
It is very likely that the Immortal in the Urn will be wiped out in ashes because of this evil magic!
But if it's just a maid-washing technique... you can still turn into a ghost!
That's why Mrs. Pei said that she was saving those children!
As for the cries of those concubines, they are not crying for their own children, but they are clearly crying for their own future!
Naturally, after Changshengtian came into contact with Pei, Pei might have guessed that she was being used.
However, until there is no better way, as an ordinary person, she can only choose the "next best" method for baby girls, such as long-term bathing!
brute!
This Pei family...are really beasts!
Liang Jiunan tried to calm down.
But at this time, the memory world belonging to Yang Lian began to change.
In an instant, the tangy smell of blood came.
"Ma'am, work harder!"
In front of me, the midwife was helping the pregnant Yang Lian deliver the baby.
Yang Lian on the bed was wailing in pain, but the expressions of the midwives were becoming more and more anxious.
Liang Jiunan took a closer look and saw some strange bruises on Yang Lian's body!
These bruises. It's spreading out little by little around his skin.
But strangely, no one else seemed to see it.
This is...a curse!
Liang Jiunan's pupils shrank.
Yes, at this moment, it is already the last day for the Yang family's father and mother to use the method of the Immortal in the Urn!
The midwife was sweating profusely and looked at the people beside her anxiously:
"This is not good!"
"Madam, for some reason, she had difficulty giving birth!"
"Quick, please ask the Lord for instructions!"
Liang Jiunan watched the maid open the door in a hurry.
At the door, Pei Ji stood there with a gloomy face, listening to the maid's story.
Then, two cold words came out of Pei Ji's mouth: "Keep me safe!"
As soon as he said this, Yang Lian's eyes were full of despair on the bed.
The midwife received the instruction, and although she couldn't bear it, she could only do it.
After a while, a burst of crying sounded.
The midwife lifted the child, who was covered in blood, and said tremblingly: "Madam, it's a girl..."
At this moment, Liang Jiunan saw very clearly that Yang Lian showed a trace of sadness, and the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes mixed with the blood, turning into two lines of blood tears, slowly flowing down...
