Reincarnation: My Possessive Beast Husband
Chapter 405 - 406 Blinded

Chapter 405: Chapter 406 Blinded

Qiu Ruyue, who was struck on the back of the head, had gone blind.

They couldn’t settle accounts with the Xuanyuan Family, so Qiu Dezhi ordered a beating for Qiu Lan with a heavy paddle, then drove her out of the Qiu Residence.

And just like that, the matter wasn’t pursued any further.

The Qiu Family called for many doctors to treat Qiu Ruyue’s blindness, but they all shook their heads, expressing their powerlessness over her condition.

Having treated her for the greater part of a year without success, the Qiu Family began to lose heart gradually.

During this time, Qiu Ruyue hadn’t once thrown a tantrum or wept bitterly.

Not because she wasn’t heartbroken, but because heartache was futile.

Besides, crying for too long could damage the eyes, and she still harbored hopes of regaining her sight; from now on, she must take good care of her eyes.

Upon hearing of the incident, the He Family showed no particular reaction.

They neither talked of breaking off the engagement nor said they would not disdain Qiu Ruyue. After visiting her twice, they stopped coming altogether.

And each time they did visit, their attitude was cool and indifferent.

Soon, Qiu Ruyue turned fifteen, reaching the age for the hairpin ceremony.

After the ceremony, the He Family sent someone to the Qiu Family, not to talk about marriage, but to call off the engagement.

Their reason was that their family was about to move to the south and, not wanting Qiu Ruyue to suffer with them, they decided to break off the engagement.

How could Qiu Dezhi not know that they were shunning his daughter for being blind?

The He Family’s move to the south was for an official position, and they would return in three years. There wouldn’t be any suffering for Qiu Ruyue had she gone with them.

However, since they so blatantly disdained his daughter, forcing her upon them would be ruining her life.

Therefore, after discussing with his wife, Qiu Dezhi agreed to the annulment. They, too, looked down on such an in-law family.

Thus, Qiu Ruyue wasn’t married at the age of fifteen, nor was she married by eighteen.

Three years passed, and she still couldn’t see anything.

She had become accustomed to living as a blind person, managing to cook, wash clothes, and clean all by herself every day.

Even with maids at hand, she insisted on doing everything herself.

This was in preparation for the future; if her parents were to pass away a hundred years from now, on whom could she rely? She could rely only on herself.
