Chu's mother swallowed hard, somewhat stammering.
Seeing that his parents were hesitating to speak, Chu Xi took a deep breath and said, "The solution is, we have to kill my third sister."
Zhou Yiran's pupils shuddered.
Wenru and Song Taishan were both startled.
"Yes..." Chu's mother said faintly, her head lowered and shoulders trembling, "The master told us there's an evil method that could help us…"
The master had told them to find an elm tree on the selected day, place a stone mill under it, and use the mill to crush their third daughter to death.
The amount of blood that splattered on them would supposedly indicate how many sons they could have.
The method sounded sinister and was extremely cruel.
Upon hearing this, Chu's mother, unable to accept killing her own child, thought of fleeing to her maternal home with her daughters.
