Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

Pei Yin suddenly felt a churning in her stomach, but just as she was about to gag, she covered her mouth tightly with both hands.

Liu Jin, who was inside the room, suddenly turned around as if he had sensed something.

Pei Yin clung to the maid's clothes and squatted down by the windowsill, trembling uncontrollably.

She could hear Shen Guantang's desperate pleas from inside the house.

But she dared not move, for fear that Liu Jinfa would discover that she was there.

The young maid looked terrified and kept crying.

Hearing the commotion of pulling and shoving inside, Pei Yin's eyes suddenly hardened, and she grabbed her maid and hurriedly fled the main courtyard.

Neither of them dared to stop along the way.

They all collapsed to the ground only after they returned to their own courtyard.

"Little one, Miss..."

Pei Yin covered the maid's mouth, giving her a warning look.

"Remember, we haven't been to the main courtyard today! Otherwise, we'd both be dead!"

The image freezes on Pei Yin's hand, which is so stiff from clenching her fist due to excessive tension that she cannot straighten it.

Shen Xingzhu rolled her eyes after reading it.

Why didn't you wait until I was killed by the monster before showing me the memory replay?

She knew that the ghost story deliberately revealed that "Pei Yin originally had a chance to save Shen Guantang's child" in order to provoke Shen Guantang again.

But for some reason, she didn't have any guard against Shen Guantang.

Shen Guantang, standing to the side, chuckled softly.

Do you think I don't know?

"Why do you expect me to hold back that beast Liu Jin back then? He clearly noticed the strange noises outside, didn't he?"

This time, it was Shen Xingzhuo's turn to be truly shocked.

So Shen Guantang's rescue of Pei Yin actually started so long ago?

She was speechless for a moment.

It took me a while to find my voice again.

"If I had to do it all over again, I would still choose to run away."

"Mother also knows the reason..." She looked at Shen Guantang, "That little sister was born prematurely, and Liu Jin even sliced ​​off pieces of her flesh while she was still alive..."

"She wasn't going to survive anyway."

"So under those circumstances, it wouldn't have been worth losing both my life and the maid's."

"Shen Niang".

Shen Xingzhuo suddenly called Shen Guantang "Mother".

Shen Guantang's emotions collapsed instantly, and he burst into tears.

This was the umpteenth time she had shed tears, but for some reason, the grievances and pain she felt were indescribable and inexplicable no matter how much she cried.

"Thank you for saving me."

These words were not only spoken on behalf of Pei Yin, but also on behalf of herself.

If Shen Guantang hadn't stepped forward and said she knew there were people outside, she wouldn't have been able to stop Liu Jin.

No matter how she answers this question, she will have no legitimate reason to answer it.

Therefore, she was sincerely grateful to Shen Guantang for saving her.

After speaking, several women burst into tears.

The story ends here, but even if they are still standing here "alive" now, it doesn't mean that the damage can be erased.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

"Squeak—"

The sound of a heavy wooden door opening rang out.

A beam of holy light shone from the ancestral hall.

Shen Xingzhu squinted and looked over, and saw a dragon and a phoenix on the dragon and phoenix pillar hovering inside the room.

"Just as I expected..."

The golden dragon's belly bulged slightly, pressing down on the phoenix.

The truth about Guanyin Brocade is actually...

Shen Xingzhuo lowered his eyes and took the hands of Pei Xi, Pei Jinyu, and Shen Guantang one by one, helping them up.

As she walked into the ancestral hall, her voice was as deep and resonant as an ancient bell.

"Guan is Shen Guantang, Yin is Pei Yin, and Jin is Pei Jinyu."

"One character was taken from each of the three women's names and woven into a Guanyin brocade, which tells the story of the mutual support and friendship among women."

"And the fact that the sun shines brightly is a perfect proof that Pei Xi's appearance symbolizes the women in the Pei family's desire for rebirth."

"So from the beginning, the rules said that I should weave brocade, but that didn't really mean I should weave. It meant that I should liberate them from this story."

"When they all come out, it means that the ancestral hall can open its doors to everyone."

A rare smile appeared on Shen Xingzhuo's face.

"So, in the end... it all comes down to that one sentence in the 'Admonitions for Women' that my mother wrote to warn me."

"A daughter of the Pei family may be impure, may not be gentle, may not be chaste, may not be diligent, but she will absolutely not be someone to be sacrificed or offered up!"
