"Miss Wen had only been married for a little over three months, hadn't she? How could her belly be so big?"
"Could it be that she was already carrying a bastard before she married, and could no longer hide it once she reached the Hao Family..."
"No wonder the Hao Family wouldn't allow the coffin to be opened. This scandal is truly huge!"
"I'd long heard that Miss Wen was virtuous and gentle, the idol and goddess of all the young people in Ancient Wasteland City. Now, it seems that may not be the case!"

After a moment of stunned silence, murmurs rose one after another.
What appeared before everyone was not Miss Wen's horribly disfigured corpse, but the body of a woman with a swollen belly.
Judging by its size, she had been at least seven or eight months pregnant. That meant she had already been with child when she married three months ago!
Everyone finally understood.
No wonder they had sent the corpse back, and Clan Head Hao Long had personally come along. Whoever married a pregnant woman would not be pleased!
Clan Head Hao Long had probably come to question them face-to-face!
As a prominent great family, they had married such a woman—an utter humiliation. Clan Head Hao Long had originally intended to open the coffin after arriving at the Wen Family, but since the Wen Family had acted without regard for anything else, he could no longer care so much.

"What... what is going on?"
Young Master Wen,
