Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wang Yizhi’s mother helped her son up from the ground. “Su Lan, you traitor!
The Wang Family is going to divorce you!”
To Wang Yizhi’s surprise, the hooligan then offered him five liang.
“I don’t want your money. I refuse to assist you in doing anything immoral,” Wang Yizhi firmly stated.
The four individuals who had come to catch the alleged adulterer were taken aback.
Wang Yizhi, feeling panicked, asked, “What on earth are you talking about? Have you gone mad?”
The hooligan replied, “I’m not talking nonsense, nor am I mad. I’ve simply developed a conscience and won’t take part in your vile plans.”
The hooligan proceeded to share the details of his earlier discussion with Wang Yizhi, revealing everything.
Just then, the three brothers arrived.
Su Qing had come with Su Qing, but upon returning home, Su Bin was already back from the county.
Su Bin joyfully informed the family that he had achieved first place in the county examination, prompting a celebration.
Su Bin recounted how Qin Zhenzhen and her brother had gone to his sister’s home.
Upon hearing the hooligan’s revelations, Su Bin and the others grasped the situation clearly.
They then inquired about Su Lan’s well-being and, unable to contain his anger,
Su Bin slapped Wang Yizhi. “You despicable scoundrel! You are no scholar!”
Nobody intervened, as even Qin Silong believed that Wang Yizhi deserved the punishment.
However, as Wang Yizhi was a Cultivated Talent, beating him could result in a lawsuit.
Despite his swollen face, Wang Yizhi threatened, “I am a Cultivated Talent, and you dare to hit me without knowing the full story?”
“So what if you are a Cultivated Talent? I don’t care!” Su Bin walked over and also slapped Wang Yizhi.
Su Bin had contemplated the situation carefully. His elder sister couldn’t stay with the Wang Family any longer. They were an unscrupulous bunch, conspiring to frame his sister. If they succeeded, the distress might drive her to suicide.
Wang Yizhi, still covering his swollen face, retorted, “I am your brother-in-law! How dare you lay a hand on me…”
Before he could finish speaking, Su Qing slapped him as well. “You are not worthy! You are worse than a beast!”
For some inexplicable reason, Su Lan found the courage to slap her husband’s face too.
Observing her son getting beaten, Wang Yizhi’s mother appeared ready to retaliate, but Qin Zhenzhen and her brother stopped her.
The old woman snapped, “How dare you hit a Cultivated Talent’s brother-in-law? Don’t think that we won’t report this to the authorities just because you are related!”
Su Bin looked at them coldly. “Go ahead, report this to the authorities! We’ll see what happens!”
He was confident that with Qin Zhenzhen and her brother’s support, they had a good chance of prevailing.
He refused to believe that Wang Yizhi’s Cultivated Talent status would protect him once this matter was brought to light.
Wang Yizhi’s mother grew fearful upon seeing the determination in Su Bin’s eyes. She swallowed the harsh words she had been about to utter.
The four people Wang Yizhi had brought to catch the alleged adulterers exchanged glances among themselves. They were hesitant to believe this turn of events.
However, the hooligan’s offer of money was undeniable evidence.
As the commotion in the room escalated, more onlookers gathered to witness the unfolding drama.
Upon learning the truth, the crowd started discussing among themselves.
“Wang Yizhi is despicable!”
“Their plan was to set up Su Lan in this way! Aren’t they afraid of driving her into a dead end?”
“He does all of these just for his own sake! When your conscience is gone, you can do anything you want!”
