Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Divorce_1
The Old Madam Wei said to Wei Ruo, “Ruoruo, think about it carefully, who might do such a thing to defame you? The rumor is now widespread, if people believe it, and if the marriage with the Xuanping Marquis Residence is called off, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to marry in the future!”
Who would want to marry a woman who is rumoured to curse her husband and be barren, and has had a marriage called off?
“I really can’t think of anyone. Could it be someone from the residence?” Wei Ruo said, looking at Wei Yifeng and Wei Yipeng.
The two of them immediately looked uncomfortable.
“Big sister, don’t talk nonsense, we wouldn’t do such a disgraceful thing!” Wei Yifeng quickly denied.
“Exactly! We know our limits! Don’t blame us for everything!” Wei Yipeng chimed in.
“Or perhaps it was sister Wanwan.” Wei Ruo turned to Wei Qingwan.
“Sister…you misunderstand me, I wouldn’t harm you. The Wei Family has treated me tremendously well, and I am already very grateful to be able to stay in the family. While we have had some conflicts, they are insignificant compared to the kindness Wei family has shown me, so I wouldn’t hold a grudge against you.” Wei Qingwan explained sincerely.
“The only people in the Capital City who have had a grudge against me seemed to be these three. Besides them, I can’t think of anyone else who would spread such rumours about me.” Replied Wei Ruo.
Unable to extract any clues from Wei Ruo, Master Wei’s complexion darkened further.
At this point, Wei Minghong asked, “Father, since this matter is merely a rumor and hasn’t been confirmed, the Xuanping Marquis Residence shouldn’t call off the marriage, right?”
“What do you know? This is not just a common rumor, this statement came from Daoist Qianyuan’s mouth!” Master Wei said bitterly.
“What? Daoist Qianyuan? The one known for his incredible prediction skills?” A look of astonishment crossed Wei Minghong’s face.
The rest of the people in the room also showed varying degrees of surprise.
Daoist Qianyuan, he is a respected spiritual master! It is rumored that he is halfway to becoming immortal.
Every prediction he has made has been accurate.
After digesting this shocking news, Wei Minghong looked at Wei Ruo and asked, “Could it really be that Ruoruo’s fate is to be a husband killer and barren?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Have you forgotten that Ruoruo’s birth details were falsified?” The Old Madam Wei cut in angrily.
At the beginning, there was a mix-up with the children, and Wei Ruo’s birth details were used for Wei Qingwan.
Later, the Wei family claimed to outsiders that Wei Ruo was Wei Qingwan’s twin sister, who they had purposely hidden and raised in the countryside. So when they had to provide the Xuanping Marquis Residence with the birth details of Wei Ruo, they made up a time which was slightly earlier than Wei Qingwan’s.
“Could it be so unlucky that the birth details we made up happen to be of a husband and child killer, which led to such rumors?” Wei Minghong guessed.
“Your father and I have already thought about that possibility. But considering Ruoruo’s birth details were only given to the Xuanping Marquis Residence when they came ‘asking for her name,’ even if there’s a problem with her birth details, how could outsiders know?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Of course, it’s someone from the Xuanping Marquis Residence spreading it. It must be the Marquis’ children who are displeased with the marriage. They found out there was a problem with Ruoruo’s birth details and spread it to sabotage the marriage.” Wei Mingyong speculated.
Wei Mingyong’s guess was highly plausible.
If that’s the case, the chances of salvaging Wei Ruo’s engagement with the Xuanping Marquis Residence were slim.
