Chapter 138 This mysterious and bizarre truth

Wang has two people she hates the most.

One is Zhang, who would rather quarrel with her natal family than help her brother.

The other one is Qian in front of us.

The Qi family had only one son for three generations until Qi Shouzheng came to power. She knew that it was natural for Zhang to want to find a daughter-in-law who was good at giving birth and raising children.

But why couldn't that person be her daughter!

Qian...why are she and her mother so fertile!

Qi Shouzheng had become a useless man, but this Qian was able to give birth to four daughters!

If she turned into a chicken that didn't lay eggs, she could still laugh at Zhang viciously.

Now that things are like this, doesn't it seem that Zhang was not at all wrong 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, definitely no more than twenty steps away from here.

Lu Xinran clicked on Wang's booklet the moment she entered the door.

But the melon she wanted to eat was hidden in Wang's past, and she had to read it carefully in order 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 did not tell anyone. 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 in 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 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 is obviously to help her son avoid disaster. ]

Lu Xinran was immersed in eating melons, but Lu Xinlan beside her had his eyes on Wang.

What she just said revealed a lot of secrets from the past. Wang would have had some emotions after hearing it.

But at this moment, she was still immersed in the joy of being treated specially by the wife of the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and there was no abnormality on her face.

Wang's family... probably isn't very wealthy~

Finally getting closer to the truth, Qian's excitement and tension reached their peak.

She held her breath, waiting for the next words.

[Ms. Zhang was a conscientious person. Even after the incident, 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 booklet? Never mind, I have to eat the melon. ]

[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 very bluntly by Zhang.]

[Moreover, in order to make her give up, Zhang quickly decided to marry Qian.]

[It was actually quite a coincidence, as Qi Shou 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 thought it was Zhang’s humiliation to her and her daughter. So after her daughter committed suicide by swallowing arsenic, all her plans went to waste, so she took revenge on Qi Shouzheng.】

Finally, it came to the most tense moment. The hall was silent. Everyone held their tea bowls in their hands, lowered their heads and said nothing.

The atmosphere was so weird that Wang, who couldn't hear her own thoughts, felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Lu Xinran picked up the tea bowl and gulped down two mouthfuls. Only then did he suppress his excitement at the prospect of 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 marriage.]

[As a result, Zhang refused to acknowledge the marriage no matter what, and her daughter committed suicide by swallowing arsenic, so the person she had specially found was useless.]

【After years of planning, she was defeated in one day. She couldn't accept it and hated Zhang and Qian.】

【She believed that Zhang was unwilling to marry for the sake of offspring, so she frantically wanted to destroy the Qi family.】

[But the man she was looking for said that he would not harm anyone's life, so she settled for the next best thing and wanted Qi Shouzheng to be the best. 】

[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 worm to make him infertile or only able to give birth to daughters.]

[However, this insect is not so accurate that it can eat all the tadpoles that give birth to sons. Qi Shouzheng still has no sons. One reason is that he was begotten by a insect, and the other is that he is simply unlucky, or it is said that he is destined to be childless.]

[Normally, families like this would hire someone to do the math. 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 his hair stand on end, and waves of chills spread from his heart to his limbs.

Qian was also stunned, with confusion in her eyes.

Cicada?

Is it the kind of stuff written in miscellaneous books?

Is it because of this thing in Qi Shouzheng's body that he is childless?

She was somewhat unbelievable and shocked by Wang's viciousness.

[How mysterious! Is this insect really so powerful that it can automatically adjust the birth of a boy or girl? ]

[If it's really that powerful, then if we think about it the other way around, wouldn't everyone be able to give birth to a bunch of sons? It must 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 several generations are only children. 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 thoughts.

They originally thought that once they had figured out what Wang had done, they could try their best to have a son.

Now it seems... is it still a luxury?

Qian looked at his feet in despair. The few people who had eaten an outrageous melon seemed to have their acupuncture points suddenly unlocked. They all came to their senses and started to make small talk and be polite again.

Xu glanced at Wang, who was already beginning to feel uncomfortable. It was better to stay away from such a twisted and vicious woman.

What if you accidentally offend someone at some point, then wouldn’t you be fed to…worms?

She shook her body, and while she was disgusted she 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.
