SBCEJM -Chapter 269 Explosive Reveal! He Earned The Family’s Living Through Blood And Sweat—She Used That Money To Run A “Duck House” At Home!

【After all these years, how did Huang Rulan never manage to have his child?】

Feng Zeyuan immediately caught the logical gap.

【That takes us back to Huang Rulan’s “virtuous wife” persona.】

【To maintain it, she insisted that the family physician regularly check Wang Qizheng’s pulse every single day without fail.】

The system let out a faint buzzing sound, as if flipping through even more shocking files.

【One routine check didn’t matter… until they discovered something shocking—Wang Qizheng had somehow become infertile overnight!】

【How sharp was she?】

【In a single thought, she concluded this must be a dirty trick by Wang Qiming, his old lover.】

Feng Zeyuan was stunned.

【That’s ruthless…】

The system continued:

【Since Wang Qizheng couldn’t have children, if her belly ever got big later, it would be an instant disaster.】

【So every time she met Wang Qiming in private, she would drink contraceptive soup afterward.】

【And Wang Qizheng?】

【Because of his infertility, he felt deeply guilty toward his wife, almost wanting to give her his heart.】

【Huang Rulan used that guilt to manipulate him completely.】

【This also paved the way for later—convincing him to “sacrifice for love” and go out to sell his body to earn money.】

Feng Zeyuan sincerely sighed:

【Tsk tsk… one willing to hit, one willing to be hit. Locked in.】

The atmosphere in the imperial court became eerily strange.

Just when everyone thought this absurd drama was nearing its end, the system dropped another bombshell.

【Host, you think that’s it?】

【This Madam Wang has even more outrageous tricks!】

Feng Zeyuan’s eyes lit up again.

【Oh? Tell me more!】

【Huang Rulan is now thirty-two. Living comfortably, well-maintained—she still looks like a delicate woman in her late twenties.】

【Over time, whether it was her money-making husband at home… or her lover outside…】

The system paused.

【She got bored of them.】

【Bored?】

Feng Zeyuan clicked her tongue.

【Even this can get boring?】

【One provides emotional value, the other provides financial value—wasn’t that perfect?】

The system explained:

【When a person has more and more money, their desires expand as well.】

【So she took the money Wang Qizheng earned… and used it to…】

【Support six younger, more handsome, more entertaining pretty boys.】

【This wasn’t just losing the wife and the army—it was losing everything.】

Feng Zeyuan mentally slapped her thigh.

【This is the annual top “tragic comedy of the empire”!】

【Working so hard outside to plow the fields, while the family granary is being emptied without him knowing!】

【Not only that!】

The system suddenly grew excited.

【She even introduced modern management systems into her backyard!】

【She assigned KPIs to the six pretty boys and implemented a “lowest performer elimination system”!】

“KPIs?”

“Elimination system?”

The officials in the hall stretched their necks, utterly confused.

On the dragon throne, Emperor Xiao Juechen’s faint amused smile froze ever so slightly at the term “KPI”.

A trace of confusion and curiosity flickered in his eyes.

【Simply put—it’s performance evaluation!】

【Whoever makes her happiest gets the most rewards!】

【Anyone who ranks last for three consecutive months gets kicked out and replaced!】

This time—it wasn’t thunder.

It was a nuclear explosion.

【HOLY—WHAT?!】

Feng Zeyuan screamed internally.

【Her husband is out there working as a top-ranked “performer,” selling his body for money… and she used that money to open a male entertainment house at home?!】

【If she ran a business properly, she’d be the richest person in the capital! What a waste of talent!】

The system calmly added:

【To compete for rankings, these six pretty boys did everything imaginable.】

【But soon they realized competing for her alone was too intense.】

【So they shifted their target—to Wang Zhiqing, the “cash cow” behind her.】

【They tracked him, studied his client list, and then…】

【Offered lower prices, younger bodies, and better “service,” successfully stealing half of his wealthy female clients.】

The Heir of the De Ning Marquis felt his mind explode.

He suddenly thought of his own wife’s increasingly radiant face—and her obvious disgust toward him.

His throat tightened.

Could it be… his wife wasn’t just giving money away, but also… outsourcing?

【The most ridiculous part?】

The system continued.

【Wang Zhiqing noticed his business declining and thought it was because he was getting old and losing charm.】

【So he worked even harder, drinking tiger bone and deer whip soup, even researching new “techniques” to win clients back.】

【He never realized the ones stealing his business… were his wife’s kept pretty boys.】

【He was fighting desperately on the front lines for “the family”… while his own household had already been looted from within.】

“Pfft—”

A general somewhere in the hall couldn’t hold it in and let out a muffled burst of laughter, shaking like a sieve.

The Marquis heir and other families involved had faces turning from green to ashen.

They wanted to cry, laugh, and curse—all at once.

【Wait!】

Feng Zeyuan suddenly thought of something.

【What about Wang Qiming? That childhood lover she used to manipulate—he wasn’t eliminated too, right?】

【Of course not.】

【He was repurposed.】

The system replied calmly:

【Huang Rulan got bored of him too, but kept him as “staff.”】

【What kind of staff?】

【He manages the six pretty boys—responsible for KPI assessments and… handling “departure procedures” for those eliminated.】

【I… what…】

Feng Zeyuan was speechless.

Turning an ex-lover into HR for her harem?

What kind of genius-level chaos is this?

Just when everyone thought the story had reached its peak—

The system spoke again, heavy as judgment itself.

【This still isn’t the end.】

【Huang Rulan is cautious. She feared her income sources might be stolen by outsiders.】

【So she set up a final test for Wang Zhiqing.】

A final test?

Everyone held their breath.

【She sent beautiful women to seduce him, testing whether he would remain loyal.】

【If he resisted temptation, she would keep him as her top earning asset.】

【But if he failed…】

【She would activate Plan B—】

【Have her most beautiful male lover seduce him, catch him in the act of “homosexual misconduct,” and seize everything as grounds for divorce.】

【Then she would legally kick him out and take all the assets.】

The entire imperial court fell silent.

Everyone’s hearts were pounding in anticipation.

Feng Zeyuan swallowed hard and asked the question everyone wanted answered:

【So…】

【Did he pass the test?】
