Chapter 1893 Pan's Fleeting Romance
“Nothing is impossible.” Now that things had come to this, Madam Pan was ready to go all out. Her voice gradually calmed down as she raised her head and said, “My lord, after I married Chen Bing, I have not been able to conceive. Both Chen Bing and I are very anxious. Chen Bing suspected that I was infertile, and after three years, he had the idea of taking a concubine.”
Not only did Chen Bing have this idea, he also put it into action.
However, he was acting secretly. During that time, he got very close to a girl, but was discovered by Madam Pan.
Pan was no ordinary woman; she was not gentle in nature, and she also had a powerful family background. At that time, the Pan family, with the financial support of their eldest son-in-law, was gradually becoming wealthy and had bought a second shop.
Compared to the Pan family, Chen Bing was the one who was all alone and had no powerful backing.
Therefore, although Chen Bing felt that the Pan family was in the wrong for not having produced an heir for three years, he ultimately did not dare to do anything.
After that, Madam Pan kept a close eye on Chen Bing, but she was also anxious. She secretly consulted several doctors, all of whom said she was fine and that perhaps it was just a matter of fate.
Later, a doctor with a more open-minded view said that having children is the result of the joint efforts of both husband and wife. If the wife is fine, then the problem might lie with the husband.
Pan became suspicious. She thought of Chen Bing's previous wife, who had also been unable to conceive for a long time.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was Chen Bing's problem.
But outsiders don't think that way. They just think that if a woman can't have children, it's because her womb is useless. Even her family says so, and Chen Bing won't admit it.
If she divorces Chen Bing because of this, she will never be able to get married in the future.
Unable to divorce and unable to have children, and with Chen Bing potentially using this as an excuse to take a concubine, Pan was caught in a web of imagined crises, becoming increasingly confused, and gradually her behavior began to deviate.
At this moment, someone was there to comfort and care for her, and that's when Pan made a mistake.
Unexpectedly, she became pregnant a month later. Madam Pan finally confirmed that Chen Bing was the one who couldn't have children.
Upon learning that his wife was pregnant, Chen Bing was extremely excited. He gave her all the best things and even bought her a maid to serve her.
Pan gave birth to Chen He smoothly, and Chen Bing cherished him dearly.
With the arrival of her son, Pan was greatly relieved. She had originally thought that Chen Bing would settle down after having a son, and that life would just continue peacefully, as if what had happened back then was just a dream.
Who knew that after Chen Bing's son grew a few years older, his mind started to wander and he wanted to do some other business.
He frequently went to the prefectural city to ask the Pan family for introductions, ostensibly to save up for his son's dowry and family fortune.
Pan would occasionally go with him, and on these occasions, she rekindled her romance with the man she thought was just a fleeting affair.
However, because Chen Bing was there, the two of them didn't dare to be open about it. At most, they would meet, talk, and have a heart-to-heart talk, but they dared not do anything else.
Sixteen years ago, after Chen Bing failed in every business he tried, Pan's father got angry with him, stopped lending him money, and didn't want to see him again. Only then did Chen Bing calm down.
But he still owed a debt, and the creditors were coming to his door. Chen Bing had no choice but to send Pan Shi alone with her son to the prefectural city to find Pan's father, hoping that he would lend a hand for the sake of his daughter and grandson.
It was during that time that Ms. Pan became pregnant with her second child.
Everyone was utterly astonished; this Pan family member... was utterly shameless.
