Wang Baocong did not want his family line to end, which meant he had to have a son. Zhou Lanlan was too old to conceive, but his new daughter-in-law could. Wang Wei was unable to touch a woman, but Wang Baocong could; once the child was born, outsiders would never know whose son it really was.
Many of the onlookers were clever people; with a quick turn of their minds, they roughly guessed the Wang family’s scheme. As for how to carry it out, Wang Baocong was a deputy factory director—a little coercion and temptation would be enough to frighten a young girl into submission. Besides, once someone entered a wolf's den, how could they possibly escape?
But man proposes, and God disposes. Wang Wei was exposed on the very first day of the wedding, scaring the new bride into running away. It must have been that even Heaven could not stand by; it saved the bride and punished the Wang family in turn.
