My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1241: Butterfly Effect

"Lin Xiangyue died at birth and was abandoned in the river." Qing Li’s fingers traced the Life and Death Embroidery, astonishingly finishing the design in just a few strokes that my mother had only half finished after an entire afternoon, "To keep Yan Hua from discovering this secret, Lin Huan told Yan Hua it was a family rule to drown girl children, so Yan Hua fought to save Lin Xiangnan—you."

"My mother... fought desperately to save me when I was young??" My mother’s voice suddenly choked up.

Qing Li lowered her eyelashes, "Yan Hua thought it was karma for stealing her best friend’s man, which led her to hate girls intensely, causing her to excessively indulge Lin Gang. Lin Gang was spoiled to moral corruption, assaulted me, and fathered Lin Xinmei and Lin Xintu, haha."

Her last two laughs were very bitter and self-deprecating, "It’s all karma, butterfly effect. Without this curse, how would my misfortune have come to be."

Actually, Qing Li’s story was always a tragedy, a person so loyal and noble fell from grace.

"I’m sorry, I apologize on behalf of my brother, I can make it up in any way, Miss Qing Li, it’s all because I failed to discipline him." My mother was clearly genuinely remorseful, kneeling before Qing Li.

I felt both distressed and anxious, kneeling down to support her, "Let me kneel, Mom, it’s all the Lin Family’s fault."

"Are you both insane??" Qing Li glanced at us.

My expression stiffened.

My mother felt embarrassed as well.

Qing Li pinched my face, "What Lin Gang did has nothing to do with you, it’s just between families, how will you get along in the future, actually kneeling to me, are you emotionally inept?"

"Really, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law’s mom, please get up." Yu Rongling sensibly helped us.

Shenshen assisted as well, "The big bad Lin Gang is already dead, brought back to the Immortal Realm by Old Zhao, for thousands of years, he will only suffer in his rotting body."

"Immortal Realm..." Upon hearing this, my mother’s legs softened and she almost knelt again.

Qing Li grinned at my mother, seemingly entertained, "Hey, Older Sister, are you not aware of what the Immortal Realm is?"

"I’ve heard a little... just not very knowledgeable about it due to limited practice." My mother answered cautiously.

Qing Li’s gaze twinkled, "You’ll probably hear more of it in the future, my husband is an Immortal Envoy patrolling the realm, I was also shocked when I first learned of this."

"Grandmother, does the patrolling Immortal Envoy often come down to inspect?" I asked, taking it at face value.

Qing Li nodded, "Yes, he’s different from Zhao Sihai, who acts due to a mission. Shenghui has reached a level where he can freely enter and exit, during my stay with the Lin Family, wasn’t he faking his death?"

"Knowing the master’s gone, I was really sad." Tears welled up in Shenshen’s eyes.

I offered a handkerchief, then focused intently on Qing Li.

Curiously waiting for her to continue.

Qing Li clicked her tongue, tossing the embroidered clothes back to my mother, "He simply goes back and forth infrequently, too lazy to find an excuse for his absence, so he just fakes his death. His Nine Dragon Coffin has always been empty, occasionally lying in it to frighten people."

Seeing her this way, while the clothes might never be worn, she compulsively had to finish embroidering them.

"Oh, then... Dragon Dad being an Immortal Envoy is related to you... merging with the Demon Cave, right?" I thought Yu Qingxiao wasn’t a bad person, but probably disinterested like Yu Longting.

Unless it’s mission-related, so I figured along those lines.

Qing Li was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Wanwan, you’re indeed smart, that’s correct. Shenghui was once tasked to eradicate the Demon Cave, at the time, it was Lei Duqian who set him up for the task, almost risking his life; I felt my Forbidden Woman abilities suited the task better, so I proposed to replace him."
