The retired man went into the wrong book, and his beautiful husband loved him

"Tong, what do you think she came here for?" Lin Qiqi leaned against the door frame, signaling Yun Qing not to come out, then stared at the door and asked Tong curiously.

Recently, Lin Qiqi almost forgot about this chosen heroine. If she hadn't suddenly appeared here today, Lin Qiqi might not have remembered this person.

As the plot develops, Lin Qiqi finds that the presence of these characters in the book is becoming weaker and weaker, as if they have nothing to do with her.

"Master, she came here to test you because she heard you had been in contact with Xu Yian recently." Tiantong reported to Lin Qiqi in a low voice. Tiantong discovered that he could use mind reading and immediately heard Lin Xiner's inner thoughts.

Cheating is so convenient. It can easily read other people's thoughts. I wonder if I can let my master master this ability in the future. Ice Cream Cone thought happily.

Lin Xiner walked in from the door, her eyes fell on Lin Qiqi, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

As soon as she saw her, Lin Qiqi keenly noticed a strange smell emanating from her, a smell similar to that of a ghost.

Lin Qiqi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Lin Xiner was actually pregnant, but it was probably impossible to detect it at the moment. Whether she could give birth to the child smoothly was still unknown. After all, Lin Xiner's fertility palace did not look optimistic. Lin Qiqi observed her silently, thinking secretly in her heart.

The anxious ghosts are the type who are impatient and can't wait to be reborn. They often start early, but often encounter the fate of fetal arrest at around two months.

If Lin Xin'er doesn't take good care of her unborn child, she might only enjoy two short months of good fortune. However, judging by her Children's Palace, there seems to be a glimmer of hope. To change this outcome, she needs to accumulate virtue!

"Sister, how come you have time to come to me today?" Lin Qiqi asked lazily without changing her expression.

[How can this little bitch from the first wife look so happy? She looks like she's living a comfortable life. Humph, wait until Lin Xiuyuan is completely spurned by the emperor, and see if she can continue to be so complacent.] Lin Xiner stared at Lin Qiqi's rosy face, feeling indignant.

At the same time, Ice Cream conveyed Lin Xiner's inner thoughts to Lin Qiqi word for word.

"Tong, you're amazing! You've even learned mind reading." Lin Qiqi was surprised to hear Tian Tong's simultaneous interpretation. This guy is really getting better and better, his growth rate is amazing.

The ice cream cone was so happy that if it had a tail it would have started wagging.

Lin Xiner tried hard to conceal her jealousy. She raised her eyes and smiled, saying, "Ever since my wedding, I haven't been able to see you during the morning and evening visits. I miss you so much."

"Master, she is implying you!" After hearing what Lin Xiner said, Tiantong curled his lips.

Has the ice cream cone become Lin Qiqi's mouth substitute? And it even comes with a tea tasting function.

Lin Qiqi blinked and replied with a sincere smile, "Grandmother and mother-in-law had already exempted Yunqing and me from all the formalities. How could you not know that? That's right. After all, you are the daughter-in-law. Naturally, you are closer to them and have a deeper bond with them. So of course the elders prefer you to serve them. I can't compare to them in these aspects."

The smile on Lin Xiner's face suddenly froze. Thinking of her mother-in-law who had made her very upset recently, she could hardly maintain her composure.

"Okay, just tell me, why are you here today?" Lin Qiqi was really a little impatient. Looking at the woman in front of her, she felt annoyed.

This so-called "Heavenly Path" heroine is becoming increasingly boring the more you watch her. She has no strength, no brains, and her only remaining charisma is probably that of a protagonist. Thinking of this, Lin Qiqi couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Xiner smiled awkwardly and said cautiously, "Sister, won't you invite me in to sit down?"

Lin Qiqi almost couldn't help rolling her eyes: With your strength, are you worthy enough to enter my house?

"It's not convenient." Lin Qiqi said coldly, rejecting without hesitation, "My husband is resting, so it's not convenient for him to receive guests right now."

Lin Xin'er's heart skipped a beat, a flicker of surprise crossing her face. Yun Qing had gone to bed in broad daylight? Was he really as frail and sickly as the rumors said?

"Master, she is cursing your husband in her heart!" Ice cream cone's voice suddenly sounded in her mind, with a hint of anger in her tone.

Lin Qiqi was slightly stunned, and then a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

This guy Tiantong is also a black sesame dumpling. Although she hates Lin Xiner and knows that this person is very mean, Tiantong is so straightforward, it is obvious that he is trying to provoke her.

But then again, Tiantong’s dislike for Lin Xiner is genuine and comes completely from the heart.

"Is that so?" Lin Xin'er smiled sheepishly. "It's nothing particularly important, actually. I heard that my sister is good friends with Xu Yian, the concubine of the Xu family. Miss Xu's embroidery is quite famous in the capital, so I was thinking of asking my sister to introduce her. I'd like to learn a thing or two from Miss Xu."

Lin Qiqi sighed. "According to official rank, Second Uncle outranks Lord Xu, and my sister is the legitimate Second Young Master's wife of the Yun family. He could just send a letter and pay a visit. Why would he need me to pass on the message?"

A hint of embarrassment crossed Lin Xiner's face. "I heard that Miss Xu has been unwell recently and is unlikely to see anyone easily. That's why I thought of sending a message through my sister. Maybe she'll make an exception and meet us."

"Since you knew Miss Xu was ill, you shouldn't have bothered her," Lin Qiqi said, looking at Lin Xiner with a half-smile. "But then again, Miss Xu fell ill after falling into the water. And it was her personal maid who pushed her in."

Hearing this, Lin Xiner's face showed surprise: "Is this really true? Why would that maid do this?"

It was so realistic. Lin Qiqi stared into Lin Xiner's eyes and shook her head gently. "The specific reason is still unclear, but this matter has caused a sensation in the capital and everyone knows about it. Miss Xu hasn't recovered yet, so I'd better wait until she's better before visiting her."

Lin Xiner nodded, understanding. "Thank you for the reminder, sister. I'll keep it in mind. But... could you please tell Miss Xu that I'll visit her once she recovers?"

Lin Qiqi raised her eyebrows slightly. If she didn't know the inside story, she would have really thought Lin Xiner was studious. She said playfully, "Okay, I'll pass on this to Miss Xu after she recovers. I hope you'll learn something from this."

Lin Xiner's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, sister! You've helped me a lot."

Lin Qiqi responded with a smile: "Sister, you're too kind. We are a family, and it's only natural for us to help each other." But she was complaining in her heart that if she continued to be so polite to her, her face would become stiff from smiling.

"Speaking of which," Lin Qiqi's eyes flickered as she glanced at Lin Xiner, "I'm just wondering, how could a good servant so easily murder her master? There must be something fishy going on. Someone must be instigating this behind the scenes."

Lin Xiner's expression was calm, without a single ripple. Only the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, with a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm. "Perhaps the master is sweet on the outside, but he's actually mean to his servants, and that's earned him a grudge."

After hearing this, Lin Qiqi frowned and looked at Lin Xiner with displeasure. She shook her head and said firmly, "I can't speak for others, but Yi'an is definitely not that kind of person! She's incredibly kind, and not the type to say one thing to your face and another behind your back. She's also incredibly innocent, a rare good girl. To think someone would murder such a simple and kind girl must be a ruthless, despicable, and black-hearted person. If I knew who was behind this, I would curse them with nightmares, restlessness, poverty, and misfortune."

Lin Xiner was so dizzy from these curses that she was furious. This was too cruel! What did all this have to do with her, Lin Qiqi? Was it really so cruel? But on the surface, she still pretended to be calm and pretended to be nonchalant.

Lin Xiner coughed lightly, trying to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said, "I'll leave Miss Xu's matter to you, sister. It's getting late, and I should go back."

Just as Lin Xiner was about to turn around and leave, Lin Qiqi suddenly called her. Lin Xiner's heart tightened, and she secretly speculated on Lin Qiqi's intentions, wondering if she was going to continue scolding her.

Lin Qiqi slowly walked up to Lin Xiner, staring intently at her face, as if trying to see through her exterior to her innermost thoughts. Lin Xiner felt an invisible pressure enveloping her, her heartbeat quickening, and her breathing becoming rapid.

Finally, Lin Qiqi spoke, her voice calm and gentle, "Sister, I know a little bit about physiognomy. Judging from your face now, your palace of children is full and bright, so there should be good news soon."

Lin Xin'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind. She subconsciously looked down at her belly, a subtle hint of anticipation in her eyes. Could she really be pregnant? But it had only been a few days, and Lin Qiqi had already noticed something? But what if?

Lin Xiner's mood was like a roller coaster, full of hope and fear of disappointment. Unable to resist wanting more details, she cautiously asked, "Sister, what exactly do you mean by that? Could you please explain it more clearly?"

Lin Qiqi smiled slightly, her tone still gentle: "I can't tell the details, but judging from the face, it should be a good thing related to children."

Lin Xiner's joy grew stronger. "Really? If there's good news, I'll definitely tell my sister!"

Lin Qiqi nodded gently: "Then congratulations in advance, sister."

Lin Xiner left Yunqingyuan with a heart full of joy, immersed in beautiful dreams all the way. Lin Qiqi looked at her back and smiled meaningfully.

"Master, you look like a villain right now."

Lin Qiqi rolled her eyes speechlessly. It’s not a good thing for a guy to be too smart!
