Chapter 339 - 339: Wang Yizhi Is Dead

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Bin couldn’t fathom how Wang Yizhi could prioritize fame and fortune over his own well-being.

Perhaps it was because his rotund wife had issued that ultimatum about divorcing him if he failed to secure a place as a High Scholar. If he were divorced, he would be left with nothing, and so he chose to take this dangerous path.

It seemed to align with the saying: “A desperate person will do anything.”

Coincidentally, the third examination fell on the Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th of August.

Qin Zhenzhen and the others had already observed the Mid -Autumn Festival the previous night, enjoying mooncakes and festivities.

Su Ning even made a wish to the moon, expressing her desire for her third brother to successfully achieve the status of a High Scholar and for her third brother and third sister-in-law to be blessed with a son soon, ensuring their family’s well-being.

Her wishes also extended to her own future, yearning to marry the most handsome man.

Following her final wish, Su Ning found herself blushing, chiding herself for her own greed.

After all, their second brother was the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on. Could she possibly aspire to marry someone even more attractive than him? Such a prospect seemed entirely unattainable.

In Su Ning’s mind, it was utterly impossible. In this world, no man could surpass the handsomeness of their second brother.

Observing Su Ning’s blush, Qin Zhenzhen had a good idea of what she had wished for. This young girl must have made a promise concerning her future marriage.

Ah, young ladies in ancient times indeed displayed a touch of precociousness.

Perhaps influenced by Su Ning, Qin Zhenzhen too directed her wish toward the moon.

She hoped that Su Bin, the supposed villain, would never succumb to evil. She prayed that Su Ning, the infatuated girl from the original story, would never fall for the male lead. And above all, she wished for the continued well-being of their family.

In addition to these wishes, she silently hoped that the distant crown prince, based in the capital, would harbor no ill intentions toward her.

Su Bin, too, faced the moon and seemed to be uttering something, though he did not clasp his hands together.

Curious, Su Ning inquired, “Third Brother, did you make a wish as well? What did you wish for?”

Su Bin affectionately ruffled her hair. “Silly girl, if you say your wish aloud, it won’t come true.”

Su Ning persisted, “But you made a wish too, even if you didn’t fold your palms. If your heart isn’t sincere, it won’t work.”

After some contemplation, Su Bin joined his palms together and silently made a wish within his heart.

His wish was simple yet profound: he yearned for a long life spent together with his beloved wife in this world.

On the afternoon of the third exam, Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning went to pick up Su Bin as usual.

There were also many family members of the candidates waiting outside the examination hall.

Before the door of the examination hall opened, they heard bad news.

Wang Yizhi poisoned the food in the afternoon. At noon, he and his fat wife died at the same time.

One of them was also an examinee from Meijiang Prefecture City and happened to stay in the same inn as Wang Yizhi and the others.

This examinee was also accompanied by his family. His family told him what had happened.

“Wang Yizhi, who was carried out of the examination hall last time, fell sick for a few days after returning to the inn. He couldn’t get up in bed and couldn’t even eat.”

“Although his fat wife called a doctor to treat him, the doctor is shaking his head and saying that he probably can’t be cured.”

“His wife got a servant to rent a carriage and prepared to pull him back to Meijiang Prefecture City.”

“But this morning, Wang Yizhi suddenly got up as if he had come back from an urge and said that he wanted to eat.”

“Who knew that he would put the arsenic he had prepared in his wife’s bowl and quickly poison her to death?”

“When he saw that his wife was going to die, he laughed wildly alone. In the end, he spat out a large mouthful of blood and died.”

The family members who came to pick up the examinees sighed endlessly. They felt pity for the two lives that had passed away. Then, they started to gossip about it..
