Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1273 - 1275: How Could He Possibly Accept Him?
At this moment, Wang Xiangxiang had too many questions in her heart.
Wasn’t sister under house arrest? How did she die?
The government office said they wanted to dispel the bad luck of the child with six toes, so they should be looking for that child, right? Has the child been found by now?
Although she had questions in her heart, seeing Chu Lian’s sad expression, she couldn’t bear to ask.
Chu Lian saw Wang Xiangxiang’s reaction, such a considerate Xiangxiang, how could he not understand? Since he had already decided to speak, he could bear it, and he actually felt a bit relieved to say it to someone.
He continued to speak, "The reason why the Emperor only placed my sister under house arrest was because he feared the power of the Sima Family, so he didn’t do anything to her. However, because of this, much of the Sima Family’s power has been secretly removed by him."
Speaking of this, Chu Lian’s heart sank, and he let out a slight sigh, his tone carrying sadness and helplessness, "But in the end, my sister still lost her life because the bedchamber caught fire. As for why the bedchamber caught fire, it’s unknown. The Emperor only said it was an accident."
Wang Xiangxiang understood Chu Lian’s helplessness and sadness. The opponent was the high and mighty Emperor. The reason for the fire in the bedchamber, if the Emperor said it was an accident, then it was an accident. Even if it wasn’t, they had no way to force the Emperor to thoroughly investigate the truth.
"Recently, there’s been a lot of noise outside, and you already know about the government office looking for the child with six toes to calculate fate and dispel bad luck, right?"
"Yes." Wang Xiangxiang nodded slightly. The Emperor was looking for the child to return him, but, "Husband, six toes is a symbol of misfortune. Can the Emperor accept such a person as his own child?"
Chu Lian’s mouth curled into a bitter smile, "How could he accept it? He just wants to determine the child’s life or death."
Seeing Wang Xiangxiang’s confused look, Chu Lian continued, "It’s not that my uncle couldn’t find anything. Actually, back when my sister was pregnant, someone who calculated fate had predicted that the child in her womb was a person of misfortune and would clash with the Emperor."
"At that time, the Emperor was quite fond of my sister and did not believe it, but he had reservations about the matter. Otherwise, the people around my sister wouldn’t have been withdrawn. But now, the child is born, and it’s been confirmed that a child with six toes is a person of misfortune. The Emperor is afraid that the child will clash with him, so how could he accept him?"
Wang Xiangxiang could hardly believe there was still the matter of calculating fate involved. Even ordinary families would avoid such a person of misfortune, let alone the high and mighty Emperor, especially after being clearly told the two would clash. The only reason the Emperor is looking for the child is not wanting the child to live.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiangxiang’s heart fluttered, as the saying goes, a tiger won’t eat its cubs. No matter what, that is still his own flesh and blood. She couldn’t help but feel it’s not worth it for Chu Lian’s sister. What good is marrying the Emperor? It’s better to find a normal family and live a stable life.
But sometimes, people’s fate is impossible to choose. Chu Lian continued, "Before, when I left Lin County, I also went to Beijing. If my sister had found someone to send the child out, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to contact the Sima Family; she would certainly contact me, but months have passed, and she hasn’t, so I conclude my sister was harmed. She was so simple, how could she outwit those people."
