The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 925

Chapter 925: Chapter 925: The Truth of the Ancestral Hall

The resentful energy that shot up into the sky was bounced back after hitting Samuel Chalmers’ Golden Light Barrier.

The scattered resentful energy roamed within the barrier.

The tangible resentful energy left all the Nova Clan members inside the ancestral hall dumbfounded.

The resentful energy, as if materialized, wailed in agony within the barrier.

This commotion also allowed the Nova Clan women who were initially obstructing from outside to sense something.

Seizing the moment of their distraction, Evelyn Wright quickly rushed into the ancestral hall.

The Nova Clan women and unmarried girls who saw this tried to stop her but were halted at the threshold of the second gate.

They could not go further.

Beyond that was the main shrine of the ancestral hall, a place absolutely forbidden for these women.

They were already breaking a taboo by crossing the first gate.

As the group hesitated about retreating, a sudden exclamation was heard,

"What’s inside?!"

Through the shadow of the second gate’s screen wall, the women vaguely saw the scene within the main shrine, and instinctively, someone stepped over the threshold and walked in.

Once one did, another followed, and when everyone bypassed the screen wall and saw the scene inside the main shrine, they were instantly shocked speechless.

The Nova Clan Leader, seeing the arrivals, couldn’t hide his anger on his already stern face,

"Who allowed you to tread into the ancestral hall?!"

And that Evelyn Wright, she had burst right in without hesitation.

Yet, all the clan members were toppled over by those bizarre turtles and little papermen, and no one stopped her!

Evelyn Wright didn’t even know what was happening to herself.

Ever since she stepped into Nova Village, it felt as if something invisibly was constantly pulling her in.

It was a sense of belonging she felt from Franklin Nova.

It made her want to draw closer to him.

Yet vaguely, she negated this sense of belonging.

It felt more like a sense of destiny.

A destiny she couldn’t escape.

Although the scene before her was somewhat terrifying, ever since she entered this ancestral hall, watching the black resentful energy wailing in agony within the barrier, her tears uncontrollably fell.

Scarlett Jennings clearly also noticed her and the women by the screen wall.

She didn’t rush to manage the resentful energy running amok in the barrier because she knew these energies wouldn’t harm her.

Turning around, she directly faced Evelyn Wright and the group of Nova Clan women.

Whether young or old, each of their fortunes was gradually drained when they married into Nova Village.

After a long while, watching them, she finally spoke slowly,

"Seven hundred years ago, the Nova Lineage was granted a chastity archway with the inscription [Chastity and Loyalty] by the Emperor, due to the loyalty of the Fang Shi, wife of the young clan leader.

Nova Clan members took pride in this and revered Fang Shi as the model woman of the clan.

Following years, all newly widowed and divorced women in the clan were not allowed to remarry or leave the clan..."

In that era, customs were relatively open, and the Imperial Court didn’t strictly forbid women from divorcing and remarrying.

But because of the Imperial commendation of Fang Shi with the Nova Clan’s chastity archway.

The elders of the Nova Clan strictly forbade all women, whether they married into the clan or were originally from it, from divorcing or remarrying.

No matter if their husband’s family was violent, the husband sterile, or the mother-in-law harsh.

They just had to remain chaste.

To take Fang Shi as a model.

The Nova Clan was prosperous at the time, yet ironically, because of this chastity archway, the originally married-out daughters couldn’t receive protection from the clan.

The clan instead became a death sentence weighing them down.

Either they died of depression, or they were imprisoned in a family temple under daily surveillance, dying with a heart full of resentment that refused to disperse.
