Chapter 337 - 337: Pretend Not to See Him

    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 simr form of blessedness.


    If she had doubts about her ability to bear children, she was content with that oue. 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 exemry, and even if they did have a child, their values were unlikely to ensure the child’s proper upbringing. Such a child might be 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 disyed


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


    Fortunately, the two attendants who hade 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 Schr examination, I’ll divorce you!”


    Wang Yizhi remained in a groggy and muted state,cking 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 aplishment from their rtionship.


    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 Schr, her family could offer financial contributions to secure him an official position, and she would be 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 simr sentiments, her heart heavy with ill will. Her former brother-inw 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 upants sat on either side, an ufortable atmosphere lingering among them.


    The carriage in front had yet to move.


    Su Qing offered an exnation, 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 toe 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-inw 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 yful nce. “Behave yourself. Wash your hands and eat promptly..”
