After dealing with Hu Jiu's issue, Qin Liuxi asked Qin Mingchun to carry her out, and then let him, the victim, report to the officials. After all, the sins underneath the Meng Family Ancestral Hall needed to be brought to light.
While waiting for the officials to arrive, Qin Liuxi was in that secret room performing salvation rituals for the souls of the children in the soul bead.
They were merged into Meng Song's soul by Elder Mrs. Meng and used to nourish Meng Song's soul. Over time, once the souls were completely devoured, they would disappear completely. The remaining souls now needed to be guided into reincarnation through salvation.
Mr. Meng joined her in the salvation ritual, as it was his responsibility to do so since Elder Mrs. Meng had once been his disciple, and he bore some of her sins.
Qin Liuxi recited the Sutra of Delivering Suffering to Rebirth a few times and spread several merits to nourish those tiny souls. After sending them away, the officials arrived.
