Chapter 117

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

This didn't seem like something Song Daliang would do!

Severing the family ties would bring him nothing but harm and no benefit. Given his character, it was already surprising that the division hadn't been delayed even further, so how could he possibly be the one proactively suggesting it?

Song Jiyun appeared thoughtful.

Eleventh Grand Master Song was furious, "So today, you deliberately chose not to come to your second brother's seventh-seven ritual?"

The seventh-seven ritual was an important ceremony.

According to Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, when a person dies, their soul lingers in the world until the forty-ninth day, when ties with the mortal world are completely severed, and the soul is reincarnated; hence, on this day, all relatives and friends should come to bid farewell to the deceased.
