Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Really Overestimated Him

Xu Wenchang felt a wave of relief knowing the two boxes he had hidden hadn’t been discovered.

He knew things wouldn’t end well for him, yet he couldn’t help but feel resentful, unable to comprehend who could have betrayed him.

Moreover, the timing was so coincidental that even his affair with Widow Qiu had been exposed. His mind flickered through many faces, rejecting each one.

Before he could figure it out, the door was violently pushed open. "Don’t harbor any illusions, Xu Wenchang. Confess and be treated with leniency; resist and be treated with severity. That’s always been our policy."

Xu Wenchang hung his head like an old monk in meditation.

But they had their ways of making him talk.

As it turned out, they had indeed overestimated him; he confessed everything that very night.

Not only did they uncover his identity and his activities over the years, but they also learned the cause of Widow Qiu’s husband’s death, as the Qiu Family had already filed a report.

Qiu Chunzhu had discovered Xu Wenchang’s true identity. Xu Wenchang repeatedly begged Qiu Chunzhu not to report him, and Qiu Chunzhu, considering their kinship, agreed.

However, Xu Wenchang then secretly got involved with Qiu Chunzhu’s new wife.

Qiu Chunzhu, still in debt from his wedding, signed up for work at a reservoir construction site. It was during this period that Xu Wenchang thoroughly cuckolded him.

Qiu Chunzhu remained completely unaware. When he returned from the reservoir, he found his wife pregnant, and his eyes filled with joy.

He was incredibly considerate of his wife. Later, after she had a fall and subsequently gave birth to Qiu Baolin, Qiu Chunzhu treated his wife and child exceptionally well.

It wasn’t until Qiu Baolin was two years old that Qiu Chunzhu accidentally discovered the affair between Xu Wenchang and his own wife. He was instantly enraged and wanted to kill the adulterous pair.

When the two realized their affair was exposed, they knew that if word got out, they would have no place left in Songling Village. Deciding there was no turning back, they committed a desperate act: together, they knocked Qiu Chunzhu unconscious.

They then threw him outside into the freezing winter cold, leaving him half-dead, before dragging him back into the house.

Afterward, Qiu Chunzhu’s wife—now known as Widow Qiu—fetched a barefoot doctor from the neighboring village. Soon, word spread that Qiu Chunzhu had caught a severe cold and developed a high fever.
