My wife is number one in the world

Qi Yun's sarcastic tone made Liu Dashao's lips twitch slightly involuntarily.

At this moment, he realized that Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui were clearly just teasing him!
No, no, that's not entirely true.

Whether Qingrui was teasing him or not is still uncertain.

However, his beloved wife Qi Yun was definitely making fun of him right now!

After a moment of contemplation, Liu Mingzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he had a general idea in his mind. He felt that Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui, the two sisters, most likely already knew that he had gone to see Lan Ya.

As for how Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui found out, I have no idea.

It's possible that Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui guessed it, or perhaps they saw it by chance while searching for themselves...

Just as Liu Mingzhi was contemplating the second possibility, his thoughts suddenly paused.

Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui, the two sisters, insisted that neither of them had gone out to look for them before they returned from outside.

In that case, my second guess would also be invalid.

However, Liu Shao had a vague feeling that Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui had lied to him and were obviously just teasing him!
Otherwise, why would his beloved wife Qi Yun's tone of voice sound so sarcastic and strange?

Unfortunately, he couldn't produce any evidence to prove that Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui were just playing with him!

The moment the word "evidence" flashed through Liu Mingzhi's mind, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily once again.

Evidence? Evidence my ass.

Earlier, I had spent half a day in the courtyard next door talking back and forth about evidence, and my mind was almost driven crazy by the two of them.

Gu Molanya is his sister-in-law, so when he, as her brother-in-law, talks to her, he naturally needs to be reasonable and present evidence.

However, Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui, her two best friends, are not her sister-in-law!
Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui, the two sisters, one is his good wife who has shared a bed with him for more than 20 years, and the other, although not yet his real wife, is no different from a real wife.

As long as you have that thought, Qingrui can become your real bedmate anytime, anywhere.

The reason I need to reason with my sister-in-law, Lan Ya, and present evidence when we discuss these matters is because of our established relationship. As her brother-in-law, I can't be unreasonable or fail to present evidence!
However, Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui are sisters, one is his good wife, and the other is his half wife.

In that case, what's the point of reasoning or providing evidence with Yun'er and Rui'er?

If it makes sense, then I would be in the best of luck.

Conversely, if you really can't reason with them, then you can just use family discipline.

After making up his mind, Liu Mingzhi smiled and glanced at Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui, who were both looking at him with smiles.

Immediately, he slowly raised the teacup in his hand to his lips, tilted his head back slightly, and drank the little remaining cold tea in one gulp.

"call!"

After letting out a long sigh, Liu Mingzhi nimbly twirled the empty teacup in his hand while turning his gaze with a smile to Ren Qingrui's beautiful face.

"Rui'er, tell me the truth, before I came back from outside, did you go out to look for me?"

Hearing her beloved's question, Ren Qingrui shook her head gently at Young Master Liu with a serious expression on her beautiful face.

"Big Fruit, I really didn't go looking for you."

"Rui'er, are you sure?"

"Yes, yes, Big Fruit, I'm sure, absolutely sure."

After answering Young Master Liu's question in a firm yet delicate voice, Ren Qingrui gently turned the pages of the book between her slender, white fingers, and then suddenly changed the subject, softly uttering two words.

"but!"

Liu Mingzhi was about to say something when he heard Ren Qingrui suddenly change the subject with the words "only two words," and immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Immediately, he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with great interest, raising his eyebrows slightly with a curious expression.

"Rui'er, but what?"

Ren Qingrui looked at her beloved's curious expression and gracefully placed the book in her fair hands upside down on her long, slender legs that were crossed.

“Big Fruit, although I didn’t go looking for you, I went to the outhouse in the yard to relieve myself before you came back.”

After hearing what Ren Qingrui said, Liu Mingzhi roughly understood what was going on.

However, he still smiled faintly and asked softly, "Rui'er, so what?"

"Cough cough, cough cough cough." Ren Qingrui coughed softly a few times, then looked at her beloved who was smiling gently at her and replied softly, "Big Guoguo, when I was washing my hands in front of the changing rack by the steps outside the door, I vaguely heard you and Lan Ya talking in the courtyard next door."

At first, I thought I had misheard.

So, after washing my hands, I curiously moved closer to the archway.

Then, I realized I hadn't misheard; the voices coming from the neighboring yard were indeed you, Da Guoguo, and Lan Ya, talking.

As Gu Molan spoke softly, she suddenly straightened her slender waist, which was barely a handful.

"Big Fruit, I assure you, I've confirmed that it was indeed you and Lan Ya who were talking and immediately set off back to your room."

As for the other things I shouldn't have heard, I swear I didn't listen to a single extra word.

When Liu Mingzhi heard Ren Qingrui's previous words, he was already prepared to nod with a knowing smile.

However, just as he was about to nod and chuckle, he heard Ren Qingrui's last two sentences.

As Ren Qingrui's voice, as clear and melodious as a nightingale's, fell, Young Master Liu abruptly stopped nodding and instead shook his head slightly, feigning annoyance.

"Rui'er, Rui'er, what kind of girl are you talking about? What do you mean by 'those words you shouldn't have heard'? You swear you didn't listen to a single extra word?"

There wasn't a single word I should have overheard when I talked to Lan Ya.

When I was chatting with Lan Ya, we were having an open and aboveboard conversation from beginning to end. I never thought of hiding it from any of you sisters.

This was originally a very proper matter, but the way you've described it, Rui'er, makes it sound like Lan Ya and I are discussing something shameful.

Hearing Liu Dashao's irritated tone, Ren Qingrui couldn't help but mutter softly, "You big brat, how can you blame me? If you hadn't been so secretive just now, would I have misunderstood?"

Liu Mingzhi heard Ren Qingrui muttering softly and frowned slightly in confusion.

"Rui'er, what are you muttering to yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Qingrui quickly shook her head gently at Young Master Liu, who was looking at her with a slight frown.

"Mmm, it's nothing, it's nothing, the girl didn't say anything."

Upon hearing Ren Qingrui's reply, Liu Mingzhi's eyes widened immediately.

“Rui’er, stop pretending to be confused. I vaguely heard you say that I was covering up for you and that you misunderstood something.”

"Tell me honestly what you were muttering about just now."

Seeing her beloved's eyes widen suddenly, Ren Qingrui pouted her luscious cherry lips with a soft hum.

"Hmph, fine, I'll say it then."

"Big Fruit, how can you blame me for what I just said? If you hadn't been so evasive, would I have misunderstood?"

Upon hearing Ren Qingrui's words, Liu Mingzhi immediately retorted loudly, "Rui'er, don't talk nonsense. You can't make someone innocent out of nothing. When have I ever covered for you..."

As Liu Mingzhi was speaking loudly, his words suddenly stopped abruptly.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that he had indeed been trying to hide it.

After all, what I just told Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui was that I had gone for a walk outside the courtyard, not to chat with Lan Ya in the neighboring courtyard.

After Liu Mingzhi belatedly realized what had happened, his expression turned awkward.

When Ren Qingrui saw that her beloved's expression suddenly became awkward, she immediately raised her fair and slender neck with a smug look on her face.

"Big Fruit, don't stop! Keep talking!"

Although Qi Yun didn't say anything, her gaze towards Young Master Liu gradually became playful.

Liu Mingzhi glanced at Ren Qingrui, whose beautiful face was full of smugness, and then at Qi Yun, who was looking at him with amusement. He chuckled awkwardly.

Hehehe, hehe~ hehehe.

"Alright, alright, Rui'er, good Rui'er, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"Yun'er, Rui'er, I swear to God, it's not that I didn't want to tell you two the truth, it's that I was afraid you two would misunderstand if you heard that I went to see that girl Lan Ya."

That's why I told you two sisters earlier that I went to wander around the palace outside the courtyard.

Really, everything I said is true.

As Liu Mingzhi finished speaking with a sullen expression, he suddenly let out a soft sigh, looking utterly helpless.

"Ugh!"

“Yun’er, Rui’er, I originally thought it was better to avoid trouble.”

Looking back now, I should have just told Yun'er and Rui'er the truth from the very beginning!

It's truly a case of trying to be clever but making a mess of things!

Seeing her husband's helpless expression, Qi Yun gracefully adjusted her posture.

Then, she first took the book that was upside down on her long legs and gently placed it on the silk quilt. Then, she gently turned her slender waist and picked up the soft pillow from the head of the bed and gently placed it across her round and slender legs.

"My husband, as the saying goes, if you are upright, you have nothing to fear."

"If you had nothing to hide, why did you lie to me and Sister Rui'er just now?"

As soon as Qi Yun said this, Ren Qingrui, who was sitting cross-legged beside her with her long legs crossed, quickly echoed her in a sweet voice.

"Yes, yes, Sister Yun is right."

Big Guoguo, if you have nothing to hide, why did you lie to Sister Yun and Sister Mei?
As the saying goes, there is always a reason for everything.

"Da Guoguo, the fact that you lied to Sister Yun and Mei'er means you definitely have something to hide."

After hearing Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui's rebuttals, Liu Mingzhi's helpless expression was instantly replaced by a deep sense of frustration.

"Oh dear, look what this mess has become."

After a muttered sigh of sullenness, Liu Mingzhi gently pressed down on the teapot in his hand and poured himself a cup of cold tea.

"Yun'er, my good wife, didn't I just explain it to you and Rui'er, you two sisters?"
I didn't tell you and Rui'er the truth directly because I just wanted to avoid trouble.

How could I have imagined that my actions would only deepen the misunderstanding?

As Liu Mingzhi spoke softly with a sullen expression, he lowered his head slightly and took a small sip of the cold tea in his cup.

“Yun’er, whether you and Rui’er believe it or not, I still stand by what I said earlier.”

When I was chatting with Lan Ya, we were having an open and aboveboard conversation from beginning to end. I never thought of hiding anything from any of you sisters, including Yun'er, Yan'er, Lian'er, Ya Jie, Wan Yan, Yun Shu, Jie'er, Rong Rong, and Rui'er.

Oh, right, I just remembered.

Yun'er, when I went to the courtyard next door to find Lan Ya, I didn't know which room Lan Ya lived in, so I went to Ying'er's room to ask her to show me the way!
Unfortunately, by the time I arrived outside Ying'er's room, she had already fallen asleep.

I called out to Ying'er several times outside her room, but she didn't respond at all.

Left with no other choice, I had to rush to Lian'er's room.

Then, I asked Lian'er to take me to Lan Ya's room.

"If you don't believe me on this point, Yun'er, we can go find Lian'er right now to testify for me." (End of Chapter)
