Fu Bing perked up, listening intently.
Wu Shi shifted his gaze away from her face with restraint. "I remember you once acted in a historical drama, which featured the custom of drowning the eldest daughter to ensure the prosperity of the family."
Fu Bing nodded. "Is the Qin Family also involved with this custom?"
"Not just the Qin Family. The prominent families you see actually have blood relatives who mysteriously disappear, usually female infants. The more tragically the female infants die, the more prosperous the family becomes."
Fu Bing couldn't agree. "Do these people really believe that?"
"In a prominent family, they lack nothing in terms of material wealth, status, adoration, and privileges. They can move unobstructed within certain rules. After enjoying all these, who would want to lose them?"
"There are no female infants in this generation of the Qin Family, so did Qin Jinhai take on this role?" Fu Bing asked, a chill running down her spine.
