Suddenly, a loud and unpleasant shout was heard in the beautiful courtyard.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! I was wrong, wrong, wrong! Madam, let go, let go, let go..."

Feeling the tight grip on his hand suddenly loosen, Xu Changyi did not pull his hand away. Instead, he kept holding Lin Shuhui's hand, with a look of grievance on his face.

"Madam, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something? If you are really unhappy, I, I... forget it! I will let you pinch it. I, I, I can still bear this little pain!"

To Luo Yiyi and Xu Zhi's surprise, Lin Shuhui looked down at the four clasped hands, a tear slid down her eyes and fell on the back of Xu Changyi's hand.

Xu Changyi subconsciously retracted his hand as if burned by the tear, but the next second he suppressed the urge to pull his hand back and instead grabbed Lin Shuhui's hand.

"My dear? Madam? What happened to you? Can you please tell me? No matter what happens, I will stay by your side and help you solve it. Your crying almost breaks my heart."

Because Lin Shuhui lowered her head, Xu Changyi did not see her open her mouth. However, Luo Yiyi and Xu Zhi who were standing beside her saw it clearly. The two words that opened and closed were "husband".

Luo Yiyi knew that the time had come, so she raised her hand and made a gesture to "Xu Changyi". "Xu Changyi" was looking at Lin Shuhui without turning his head, and it was unknown whether he noticed it or not.

A strong wind blew by, rolling up the fallen leaves, which spun around in front of Lin Shuhui for a few times before rolling away into the distance.

As if stimulated by this scene, Lin Shuhui's eyes suddenly widened, and her dull pupils suddenly became clear.

Surprisingly, a dagger appeared out of thin air in her hand, and before anyone could react, she stabbed Xu Changyi's hand into his abdomen.

"puff!"

The dull sound was clearly audible in the silent scene. Four hands were stiffly grasping the hilt of the sword, and the sword part had been completely inserted into Xu Changyi's body.

In Lin Shuhui's field of vision, Xu Changyi's plain white gown gradually turned bright red around the hilt of the knife. This red stung her eyes deeply and also opened the shackles that she feared most in her heart.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Madam! Madam, what's wrong with you? Madam! Qingqing!"

Xu Changyi ignored the fact that he was stabbed and tried to hug the screaming Lin Shuhui, but she struggled desperately and pushed him away.

Xu Changyi had no choice but to grab her upper arms with both hands, firmly restrain her movements, and continue to comfort her with words.

"Madam, don't worry. I'm fine. This minor injury is nothing to worry about. The doctor can cure it. Madam, calm down. No matter what happens, your husband will always be by your side. Don't be afraid. I'll be there for you, madam..."

His words of comfort, which he endured with pain, worked. Lin Shuhui, who was in extreme fear, actually calmed down.

She was breathing heavily, her eyes were bloodshot, and she stared fiercely at the place where Xu Changyi was stabbed by the knife.

Xu Changyi sighed, moved his hands up to hold her face, and forcefully lifted her head up so that her eyes met his.

"Madam, look at me! If I say it's okay, it's okay. When has your husband ever lied to you? Don't you even trust your husband?"

Lin Shuhui stared at Xu Changyi for a long while, then uttered six words through gritted teeth.

"You are not my husband!"

"Madam, what are you talking about? If I am not your husband, then who is? Qingqing, even if you are really angry with me, you are not allowed to say that!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Shuhui slowly calmed down, and looking at the familiar face in front of her, she looked exceptionally calm.

"Let me go! Who are you? Stop wearing my husband's face."

Xu Changyi raised his sword-like eyebrows and simply let go of his hand. Immediately afterwards, his body shape and appearance changed, and the dagger stuck in his abdomen and the wounds caused disappeared without a trace. In a short while, he completely turned into another person, a completely stranger to Lin Shuhui.

Lin Shuhui looked at him carefully, then turned around to look at Luo Yiyi and Xu Zhi beside her.

"You two are together, right? If you want to know the truth, why not come and listen together."

Luo Yiyi and Xu Zhi looked at each other, seeing confusion in each other's eyes, and then they walked over together.

The three of them did not communicate, but out of curiosity, Luo Yiyi looked down at the place where Qi Gui should have been stabbed, and could not help but put her hand up and press it. It seemed that she wanted to reach into her clothes and touch it more. Qi Gui gently grabbed her hand and shook his head at her helplessly.

Luo Yiyi blinked innocently and readily gave up, but she secretly made a note to take a good look at the place where Qi Gui was "stabbed" after returning to the inn.

Lin Shuhui raised her head and looked around, her eyes filled with nostalgia and sadness.

She knew that the surrounding scene must not be a real scene, and the three people in front of her must not be ordinary people. Perhaps they were the immortals who could cultivate immortality that her husband had mentioned.

But she still wanted to take one last look and engrave the happiest place in her life in her eyes, heart and soul.

The three of them waited patiently, and Luo Yiyi was also patient, which was unusual for her. She carefully observed Lin Shuhui's expression, and no one knew what she was thinking.

After Lin Shuhui reluctantly withdrew her gaze, she turned around and looked at the three people. Her sight was immediately attracted by the hands of Qi Gui and Luo Yiyi who forgot to let go and were still holding each other. A hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.

Xu Zhi followed her gaze and looked to the side in confusion. After seeing the clasped hands, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them meaningfully.

Luo Yiyi then realized what had happened and hurriedly shook off Qi Gui's hand. She then glared at Xu Zhi who was imagining too much, and complained in her heart how could a monk like him be so worldly and gossipy!

On the other side, Qi Gui, whose hand was thrown away, smiled helplessly and tolerantly, knowing that his little master must be angry and embarrassed. Because she usually cares about her face the most, especially in front of her apprentice, she hates being treated as a child.

It can be said that the person who knows Luo Yiyi best is Qi Gui.

As if she had made some kind of decision, Lin Shuhui raised her hand and placed it on her abdomen, and her face became kind.

"Actually, I'm pregnant."

"Huh? Huh, huh, huh... um! Mmm?"

Luo Yiyi screamed, but Qi Gui covered her mouth the next second. She raised her head, and the other party also lowered his head.

After their faces touched, Qi Gui changed the hand that was covering her mouth to an index finger placed on her lips, and he also blinked like Luo Yiyi did every day, revealing an innocent smile.

Luo Yiyi gnashed her teeth in anger, wishing she could bite off the finger beside her mouth, but the task at hand took priority and she was really curious about the truth, so she decided to make a note of this for the time being.

Xu Zhi raised questions at this time.

"Madam Xu, please forgive me for being rude. According to convention, every adult woman will be given a physical examination by a doctor when she enters the prison, and pregnant women will be given special care. But Madam Xu did not find any signs of pregnancy?"

After hearing Xuzhi's question, the kind smile on Lin Shuhui's face slowly disappeared.

"You are right. The doctor did say that I am not pregnant. But he didn't know that I have been pregnant for more than a year."

This time, Qi Gui didn't need to take action, Luo Yiyi was so surprised that she forgot to speak.
