The servants Chunfeng and Erxi were driven out by Qi Yi. The door was shut, and even the open window was closed.
Qi Zhenzhen looked at her brother, who had his lips pressed together in a serious expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Second sister, do you like your brother-in-law?" Qi Yi asked.
"You little rascal, why are you asking this? Like him? Of course, I like him. If I didn't like him, why would I marry him?" Qi Zhenzhen replied.
Since you like him, why would you wrong your brother-in-law?
Qi Yi was deeply conflicted. One was his beloved sister, and the other was his admired brother-in-law.
He wanted them to be well.
"Sister, I'll take you back to the Marquis's mansion!"
After an internal struggle, Qi Yi made a decision. His sister was his own flesh and blood, so of course, he had to stand by her side.
Qi Zhenzhen was a bit confused. "Why go back? What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Sister, do you think you can keep it a secret? You can hide it for a while, but not forever!" Qi Yi said anxiously.
Qi Zhenzhen was even more bewildered. What did he mean? What was she hiding? What was wrong with her brother? Could he have heatstroke and be thinking confusedly?
"Do you want me to call a monk doctor to take a look at you?" Qi Zhenzhen asked.
Why would he need a monk doctor? What could be wrong with him?
"Sister, who is that person?" Qi Yi asked again.
"Who is who? Yi Ge'er, what are you talking about? Am I confused?" Qi Zhenzhen asked, looking lost.
"I mean, who is the father of the child in your belly?" Qi Yi asked directly.
"Of course, it's your brother-in-law. Who else could it be?" Qi Zhenzhen found it completely inexplicable.
"I am your own brother. No matter what you've done, I'll stand by you. So, you don't need to hide it from me," Qi Yi emphasized. "If you tell me, I can help you. Also, where is that person? He needs to take responsibility for you."
Qi Zhenzhen was even more confused. "Yi Ge'er, did someone say something to you?"
That couldn't be. The only people who knew she was pregnant were the servants attending her, Xuanxuan and Ziyan, and then the Da Qin family. Besides the abbot, the monk doctor, and Yuan Jue, no one else in the temple knew. None of these people would go and talk nonsense to Qi Yi.
But besides them, there was no one else.
"Sister, just tell me the truth," Qi Yi said, his small face stiffening.
"Do you think I've wronged Gu Sinian? That the child in my belly isn't his?" Qi Zhenzhen asked.
Qi Yi looked at her stubbornly. "Brother-in-law left nearly a month ago, and you're pregnant at this time..."
After her initial shock, Qi Zhenzhen couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She laughed so hard she was almost out of breath.
This silly boy actually thought she had an affair!
The brat was conflicted and tangled in his heart, but he still chose to stand by her side. It was true that she was touched, but she still wanted to laugh.
Qi Yi grew anxious. "Sister, at a time like this, how can you not realize the seriousness of the situation?"
Qi Zhenzhen finally stopped laughing. "Listen carefully. Sister has not done anything to wrong your brother-in-law. This child in my belly was conceived before your brother-in-law left. It's just that it was too early then, and there were no symptoms. So, I didn't know. I've been pregnant for over a month, and your brother-in-law hadn't left yet."
Qi Yi slowly processed Qi Zhenzhen's words. The pale color on his face gradually turned red. So, what foolish thing had he done? He actually thought his sister had an affair. Qi Yi now wished there was a crack in the ground so he could crawl into it and hide.
