The group's favorite master, the story of a cute baby who travels through the book and defies t

After returning to the Xu residence, Lin Shuhui stayed indoors as agreed with Mr. Qi.

As for stopping her husband's bleeding, in order not to arouse Xu Changyi's suspicion, she simply asked her trusted maid to buy sleeping pills on the pretext that she had insomnia, and added an appropriate amount of them to tea for Xu Changyi to take every night.

After Xu Changyi fell asleep, she used a knife to cut a small wound on his back to draw blood, and then sprinkled the best medicine on him.

Fortunately, the amount of blood required each time was not much, and Lin Shuhui changed the place to cut each time, so after a long time, Xu Changyi didn't know that his back was covered with knife marks.

More than a month passed like this. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Lin Shuhui's belly seemed to have swelled a little. This made her ecstatic and strengthened her determination to continue.

But after another month, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.

As for Lin Shuhui's staying indoors for more than two months, rumors were circulated not only in the Xu residence but also in the streets. Some said that she was locked up by the Xu family because she was unable to have children and had gone crazy; others said that she was too sad and had serious health problems, and had been recuperating in bed.

These were nothing at first, but before we knew it, the third rumor gradually spread.

"Hey! Do you know? I heard from my wife's brother's good friend's cousin that two months ago, the young lady of the Xu family had a secret meeting with a man in a private room on the third floor of the guest building at noon one day!"

"Impossible? Madam Xu is such a dignified and virtuous person, she would never do such a thing. Moreover, the private room on the third floor of the guest building is semi-open, so maybe it's just a meeting between good friends?"

"Really! Even the waiter admitted it! The two stayed in the private room for quite a while. Strangely, they didn't order any dishes, and even the cakes on the table were not touched. How could a meeting between good friends be like this?"

“That’s a little strange.”

"Also, a servant of the Xu Mansion accidentally revealed that Madam Xu may be pregnant because she stays indoors. It seems that she is two months pregnant. Don't you think this is a coincidence? She secretly met a man two months ago, and now she is two months pregnant."

"You mean Madam Xu is having an affair with a man?"

"Hush! Be quiet, I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone!"

"Brother knows!"

Unfortunately, the promises in the gossip were totally unreliable, and the rumor quickly spread throughout most of Deqing Town, and finally reached the ears of Master and Madam Xu.

When Uncle Xu told them the matter cautiously and with embarrassment, Mrs. Xu fainted immediately. Mr. Xu was so angry that he slammed the table and was determined to bring the rumormonger to justice!

However, his behavior was eventually stopped by Xu Bo.

"Master, be careful! If you report it to the police and arrest someone, the matter will inevitably become a big deal. Even if it is a rumor, it will inevitably damage the reputation of the young lady."

After hearing this, Master Xu finally suppressed his anger. But the matter had to be clarified, so the couple first called their son Xu Changyi and told him all the rumors and concerns.

"Dad, Mom, this is absolutely nonsense! Qingqing would never do such a thing. Someone must be gossiping about her behind her back!"

"Yier, your mother and I think so too. But there are some things that we still need to ask our daughter-in-law for clarity, so that we can come up with a plan to stop those rumors."

"But Dad, asking Qingqing like this clearly shows that you don't trust her and it will make her sad!"

Mr. Xu sighed heavily, and Mrs. Xu stepped forward to persuade him.

"Yier, we definitely believe Qingqing. But if we don't ask clearly, even if we deny it in every possible way, the rumors will only get worse, and then the only one who will be hurt is Qingqing. Right now, the only way to protect her is to put an end to the lies with the facts, don't you think?"

Unlike playing dumb in front of his wife, Xu Changyi was able to take over the family business as soon as he became an adult, which shows that he has a high IQ. His mother's words woke him up, and after weighing the pros and cons, he had to admit that what his mother said was the best way to deal with it.

After discussing it, the three decided to ask about this matter after breakfast the next day.

After breakfast the next day, Lin Shuhui was wondering why Xu Changyi did not go to inspect the property, when he led her to sit on a chair in the small hall, with her father-in-law and mother-in-law sitting at the head.

After hurriedly greeting the two elders, Lin Shuhui sat down with a heart full of questions and a little nervousness.

The remaining three people looked at each other. Mrs. Xu looked at her husband. Mr. Xu opened his mouth and then closed it tightly, looking straight at Xu Changyi, obviously intending to let him take the lead.

Xu Changyi noticed his parents' gaze and had no choice but to go ahead.

He sat on the chair next to his wife and held her soft little hand in his big hand. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that his wife's hand was smaller than before.

But after taking a closer look, he suddenly realized that not only his wife's hands, but her entire body seemed to have lost weight, her cheeks were slightly sunken, and her chin had become pointed.

The question I originally wanted to ask immediately turned into a distressed inquiry.

"Qingqing, why have you lost so much weight? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to find a doctor to see you?"

When the two elders heard this, they looked at Lin Shuhui in surprise and found that she had indeed lost a lot of weight, but her face was rosy and she didn't look sick.

"Daughter-in-law, if you feel unwell, you must report it as soon as possible so that you can avoid a serious illness."

"Yes, Qingqing, it's not convenient for them as grown men. How about I take you to the clinic to see a doctor later? Even if you are not sick, he can help you recuperate."

"Thank you for your concern. I eat well and sleep well every day, and I don't feel any discomfort. On the contrary, I used to feel that my body was too bloated, but now that I have lost weight, I feel much better."

The three of them saw that she looked healthier and rosier than before, so they believed her for the time being. However, Xu Changyi kept this in mind so that he could pay attention to his wife's health in the future.

There was a moment of silence at the scene. Lin Shuhui looked at her husband curiously and found that he had been winking at his parents-in-law.

"Husband?"

"Ah! Ah? What happened to Qingqing?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking my husband this?"

"Oh! Yes! I have something to ask you."

"Husband, please tell me."

Xu Changyi kept the words in his mind for a few times before speaking them out loud.

"Qingqing, I wonder if you still remember that you went to the Guest House two months ago?"

"Two months ago? Yingkelou..."

Lin Shuhui was shocked and tried hard not to let her emotions show on her face. But she still calmly pulled her hand away from her husband's hand so that he would not notice her rapid heartbeat.

"Let me think... I seem to have been to the Yingke Building. At that time, I went to see a close friend whom I hadn't seen for many days. Her family moved to another place when I was young. Now her family came here to do some business, so I went to meet her."

Xu Changyi was not suspicious, but simply curious.

"You didn't see her in person?"

Lin Shuhui's expression suddenly became sad.

"It was only after I met her family that I learned that my good friend had passed away recently due to illness. The one who came this time was her uncle. I simply asked about the circumstances before and after my friend's death and then said goodbye to him in a hurry and left. After all, men and women should not be intimate with each other, so it was inconvenient for me to talk to him for too long."

After listening to her explanation, Xu Changyi nodded in understanding.

Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu felt relieved.
