Chapter 138 This Fantastic and Outrageous Truth
There are two people that Wang hates the most.
One is Zhang, who would rather fall out with her natal family than help her brother.
Another one is Qian who is in front of us.
The Qi family has been a single-line family for three generations until Qi Shouzheng's generation. She knew that it was natural for Zhang to want to find a daughter-in-law who was good at giving birth.
But why couldn't that person be her daughter!
Qian...why are she and her mother so fertile!
Qi Shouzheng has become a disabled person, but this Qian can still give birth to four daughters!
If she became a chicken that didn't lay eggs, she could still laugh at Zhang viciously.
Now that this is the case, doesn't it seem that Zhang was not wrong at all in choosing her as her daughter-in-law?
How could Wang be willing to accept this? She glared at Qian hatefully and followed Xu to sit beside her.
Xu smiled and greeted the ladies in the hall, but her eyes kept looking at Lu Xinran.
Before she came, she had sent someone to deliver a message to Xu Shaohua. He should be staying in the backyard with Qi Shouzheng now, and the distance from here is definitely no more than twenty steps.
Lu Xinran clicked on Wang's booklet the moment she entered the room.
But the melon she wanted to eat was hidden in Wang's past, and she had to look through it carefully so as not to miss any clues.
[Wang's daughter was born weak, and the doctor predicted that she would not live past the age of 20.]
[But Wang suppressed this matter and not told anyone about it. She also kept telling her daughter that she would definitely marry her cousin in the future.]
[In order to marry her into the Qi family, she found various reasons to let her daughter live with the Qi family.]
[She thought she had planned well, but she didn't know that her daughter had been sick several times in the Qi family, and Zhang had already learned the details from the imperial physician.]
[With such a poor health, how could Zhang let her marry? What if she died just after getting married? Wouldn't Qi Shouzheng be known as a wife-killer? ]
[It seems that I had wrongly blamed Zhang before. I thought that she looked down on her niece after marrying into a wealthy family. This was obviously to help her son avoid disaster.]
Lu Xinran was immersed in eating melons, but Lu Xinlan beside her had her eyes on Wang.
Her thoughts just now revealed a lot of secrets from the past. It's reasonable to say that Wang's emotions would fluctuate after hearing what she said.
But at this moment, she was still immersed in the joy of being treated specially by the wife of the Junior Minister of the Honglu Temple, and there was no abnormality on her face.
Wang's family... shouldn't be very wealthy~
Finally getting closer to the truth, Qian's excitement and nervousness reached their peak.
She held her breath, waiting for the follow-up voice.
[Ms. Zhang was considered to have a conscience. Even after all the trouble, she did not spread the news that her niece would not live past the age of 20.]
[Until now, Wang Shi didn’t know that she knew, and Qi Shouzheng didn’t know that the cousin he had been thinking about for more than ten years was a short-lived person.]
[Hey, how can I read Qi Shouzheng's pamphlet? Never mind, eating melon is more important.]
[Wang thought she had arranged it very well, but she didn't expect that after finally waiting for her daughter to reach the age of 15, when she tried to test Zhang's attitude, she was rejected by Zhang in a very straightforward manner.]
[Moreover, in order to make her give up, Zhang cut the Gordian knot and decided to marry Qian.]
[It was not a coincidence, as Qi Shouzheng was about to take part in the Spring Examination. Otherwise, the marriage with the Qian family would have been arranged long ago.]
[But Wang didn't think this was a coincidence. She felt that Zhang had humiliated her and her daughter. So after her daughter committed suicide by swallowing arsenic, all her plans came to nothing, so she took revenge on Qi Shouzheng.]
Finally, it came to the most tense and critical moment. The hall was silent. Everyone was holding tea bowls in their hands, with their heads down and not saying a word.
The atmosphere was too weird, making Wang, who couldn't hear her inner voice, feel inexplicably embarrassed.
Lu Xinran picked up the tea bowl and gulped down two mouthfuls. Only then did he suppress his excitement about uncovering the truth and continued reading.
[There is a servant from Miaojiang in Wang's courtyard. She specially asked someone to go to Miaojiang to find him.]
[She originally wanted to use witchcraft to help her daughter live a few more years, and to have a son after they got married.]
[As a result, Zhang said she would not recognize the marriage no matter what, and her daughter committed suicide by swallowing arsenic, so the person she had specially come to find was useless.]
[After years of planning, she finally failed. She couldn't accept it and hated Zhang and Qian.]
[She believed that Zhang was unwilling to marry for the sake of having children, so she wanted to destroy the Qi family like crazy.]
[But the man she was looking for said that he would never kill anyone, so she had to settle for the next best thing and wanted to make sure Qi Shouzheng had no descendants.]
[She originally wanted to make him impotent and turn him into a living eunuch, but he still refused. She had no choice but to let him get a poisonous insect to make him infertile or only give birth to daughters.]
[However, this poisonous insect is not so accurate that it can eat all the tadpoles that give birth to sons. Qi Shouzheng still has no son. One reason is that he was poisoned, and the other is that he is just unlucky, or it is said that he is destined to be childless. ]
[Normally, families like this would hire someone to tell fortunes. The main reason why Zhang always makes things difficult for Qian is probably because he is too unlucky.]
In the backyard, Qi Shouzheng was stunned after hearing all this: "???"
So, there's a worm inside him?!
This realization made the hairs on his body stand up, and waves of disgust spread from his heart to his limbs.
Qian was also stunned, her eyes filled with confusion.
Gu insect?
Is it the kind of thing written in miscellaneous books?
Is it because Qi Shouzheng has this thing in his body that he is childless?
She was a little bit unbelievable and shocked by Wang's viciousness.
[How mysterious! Is this insect really that powerful? It can also automatically adjust the birth of a boy or girl? ]
[If it is really that powerful, then if we think in reverse, wouldn't everyone be able to give birth to a bunch of sons? It should be that Qi Shouzheng himself has a physical problem and can't keep the tadpoles that give birth to sons. ]
[The Qi family is not prosperous, and there have been only one child for several generations. This is probably the reason, and this problem is also hereditary. ]
[If Qi Shouzheng really had a son, maybe his son would also be childless in the future~]
Qi Shouzheng and Qian's hearts rose and fell with their voices.
They originally thought that once they had figured out what Wang had done, they could try hard to have a son.
Now it seems... is it still a luxury?
Qian looked at her feet in despair. The few people who had eaten an extremely outrageous melon seemed to have their acupuncture points suddenly unlocked. They all came to their senses and started to make polite conversation again.
Xu glanced at Wang, who was already starting to feel uncomfortable. It was better to stay away from such a twisted and vicious woman.
What if you accidentally offend someone, wouldn’t you be fed that... poisonous insect?
She shook her body, stood up with disgust, and then easily switched to a gentle smile.
"Another guest has arrived. I have to excuse myself for a moment."
Everyone smiled and nodded, watching her leave leisurely.
