CHAPTER 1124: CHAPTER 1118: DISCOVERED AN INCREDIBLE SECRET

Yue Ruxue smiled and pointed to the woman inside the house, "Look, another woman of Brother Zijin. Guess if she’s a wife first, or is it Gu Youyou’s husband? If she’s a wife and even gives birth to a son, I wonder if Gu Youyou’s chief wife should consider a change."

Yi Qiuping glanced at the woman inside and took a deep breath.

Indeed, she’s a pregnant woman, and quite visibly so.

And this woman actually resides in the main house, yet Jin Zijin is nowhere to be seen.

What’s going on?

He was puzzled too, he hadn’t heard anything about Jin Zijin having any concubines or similar, moreover, in his view, Jin Zijin wasn’t that type of person.

He said, "Don’t jump to conclusions. Perhaps it’s not what you think, there might be some misunderstanding."

Yue Ruxue was displeased.

"Misunderstanding? This person is living in the main house, what misunderstanding could there be? Tell me, have you ever seen a pregnant woman not living at her own husband’s house but staying at someone else’s?"

Yi Qiuping was at a loss for words, only able to sigh and say, "That is someone else’s business, it’s irrelevant to us. We are just temporary guests here, let’s not meddle too much and head back sooner."

...

At breakfast, the mood among the people at the table was somewhat eerie.

Yue Rujing had arrived early for breakfast, initially eager to catch up with his long-unseen sister and brother-in-law. The brother-in-law was quite warm, but his sister was strangely fixated today, always looking towards Gu Youyou and Jin Zijin.

He knew her little schemes well enough, looking at his fellow apprentice brother was one thing, but her malevolent glances at Gu Youyou, what was she thinking?

Yue Rujing thought: She shouldn’t still be dwelling on those unrealistic thoughts, right?

Yue Rujing was taken aback in his heart, feeling he needed to nip his sister’s unrealistic thoughts in the bud, not letting her fool herself.

He said, "Axue, when you find some time, you should also visit Sanqing Temple, listen to a sermon I’ll give."

Jin Zijin looked up puzzledly at Yue Rujing.

Gu Youyou almost choked on her porridge with a snort.

Even she knew that Yue Rujing joining Dao Family was for shirking responsibilities; could he really teach a sermon?

Yi Qiuping, watching this bizarre scene, smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Definitely, definitely. After the three-day celebration party, Qiuping will surely take Axue to listen to the big brother’s sermon."

Yue Ruxue refused without hesitation, "I won’t go, I don’t want to listen to Taoists preaching."

Yue Rujing: "..."

"You must go." Yue Rujing coldly huffed, "Seeing you partake in the Xining battle, there’s a heavy weight of murderous aura on you, listening to several sermons would help cleanse the malevolence from you."

Yue Rujing had never been stern before; suddenly getting serious and preaching this way, Gu Youyou couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Yue Ruxue glared fiercely at Gu Youyou, then suddenly recalled the pregnant woman she had seen the night before, and burst into laughter again.

That laughter was truly eerie.

She looked towards Jin Zijin and said, "Brother Zijin, why isn’t our other sister-in-law joining us for the meal? Is she hiding in the room enjoying delectable dishes by herself?"

The moment these words came out, Yi Qiuping, sitting beside her, immediately changed his expression.

He tugged at Yue Ruxue’s sleeve, but Yue Ruxue ignored him and even pushed his hand away.

Gu Youyou’s expression stiffened, visibly upset.

Yue Rujing was filled with confusion and asked, "What other sister-in-law?"

No one had told him about Gu Youyou taking Miss Du in at her house.
