Chapter 337: Pretend Not to See Him

Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Rumor had it that Wang Yizhi’s plump wife had been counseled by an expert, who conveyed the notion that indulging in food was a form of blessing, and conversely, shedding pounds constituted a similar form of blessedness.

If she had doubts about her ability to bear children, she was content with that outcome. She believed that with her family’s wealth, she could simply procure an already-made son; there was no need to endure the hardships of childbirth. After all, delivering a child was a daunting task, and if not handled correctly, it could lead to a visit to the Gates of Death.

Qin Zhenzhen had only received two installments of money from her, and since the woman had declined further treatment, Qin Zhenzhen had no intention of coercing her.

Truth be told, she had no desire to assist individuals like Wang Yizhi and his wife in producing offspring. People of their ilk were far from exemplary, and even if they did have a child, their values were unlikely to ensure the child’s proper upbringing. Such a child might become a detriment to society as they grew older.

“Husband, how did you perform? Were there any questions you couldn’t answer?” Wang Yizhi’s wife’s first words upon seeing him were not words of

concern but rather her impatient inquiry about his performance. She displayed

complete indifference to his well-being.

Wang Yizhi’s heart turned to ashes. His physical condition had reached its limits, and as he nearly collapsed to the ground, he rolled his eyes in a near faint.

Fortunately, the two attendants who had come to collect him swiftly stepped in, supporting him on either side.

“You feebleling! You’re utterly worthless!”

“Who hasn’t endured three days and three nights in there?”

“Look at them. Not one is in your pitiful state after just one examination.”

“Mark my words, if you fail to secure a position in the High Scholar examination, I’ll divorce you!”

Wang Yizhi remained in a groggy and muted state, lacking the energy to offer a retort and too fearful to do so.

As he was assisted into the carriage by two servants, his portly wife let out a stream of curses. “How unlucky! If I had known you were such a weakling, I wouldn’t have chosen you!”

Wang Yizhi had initially attracted her with his looks; he possessed the air of a handsome young master. With a bit of grooming, he exuded an aura of affluence. Whether it was nighttime activities in bed or appearances in public during the day, she derived a sense of accomplishment from their relationship.

Another reason she had been drawn to Wang Yizhi was his modest literary talent, leading her to believe that he would ascend to an official position in the future. As long as he achieved the status of High Scholar, her family could offer financial contributions to secure him an official position, and she would become the wife of an official. If they were to have a child as good-looking as Wang Yizhi, it would be an even more worthwhile investment.

However, she hadn’t anticipated Wang Yizhi’s frail health and his inability to endure her demands.

During this period, she had found another man to satisfy her needs, affording Wang Yizhi ample time to concentrate on his studies. After losing hope of bearing a child, she desperately hoped that Wang Yizhi could achieve an official position and return.

Upon seeing Wang Yizhi, Su Bin felt a sense of revulsion. He hastily entered the carriage, wanting to put the sight of Wang Yizhi behind him.

Su Ning shared similar sentiments, her heart heavy with ill will. Her former brother-in-law was in such a pitiable state, yet she felt no sympathy for him. Instead, she harbored a desire to scold him for the suffering he deserved.

Inside the carriage, the four occupants sat on either side, an uncomfortable atmosphere lingering among them.

The carriage in front had yet to move.

Su Qing offered an explanation, saying, “I’m not entirely sure. The carriage in front belongs to Wang Yi’s family.”

Su Bin chimed in, “If I had known, I would have kept my distance. It’s unfortunate to come across him.

Su Bin offered a reassuring smile. “Let’s just pretend we didn’t see him. We shouldn’t let him affect our mood.’

Su Ning swiftly agreed, diverting the conversation. “Third Brother is right. Let’s ignore him. You must be hungry, Third Brother. Hurry, wash your hands and enjoy those buns.”

“Hehe, Third Sister-in-law prepared this water,” Su Ning added, pointing out the water container in the carriage. It appeared that Qin Zhenzhen had thoughtfully brought it along for the purpose of washing hands.

“Thank you, wife,” Su Bin responded with gratitude.

Qin Zhenzhen cast him a playful glance. “Behave yourself. Wash your hands and eat promptly..”
