On the day of the ritual, relatives of the Li Family all gathered at the old house by Cuiming Lake.
With her bulging belly, it was not easy for Song Qinghuan to kneel and bow. Luckily, the Li family's custom required wearing ancient ceremonial clothing for the ritual.
Thus, she wore a large Han clothing and sat directly on a cushion.
Everyone knew she was pregnant, so they all turned a blind eye.
But having a large belly made sitting uncomfortable as well. She was drenched in sweat after only half an hour.
However, the final part of the ritual, the ceremony of worshipping the heavens, had not yet been completed.
Li Chengyun ordered Song Qinghuan to rest in her room for an hour before continuing the rituals.
When she opened the door to her room, she saw someone sitting on the couch.
