Three times married to Yama

When I asked him that, Pei Yu scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Because I've recently noticed he's become effeminate," he whispered to me.

How do you know?

Pei Yu said, "Sister, watch me."

After saying that, he walked over to Zhao Huaixu and pinched his arm with his finger.

Zhao Huaixu's facial features immediately contorted, and he let out a sharp, explosive sound.

"Ouch~~~ What are you doing~~~! That hurts~" Zhao Huaixu said, reaching out and giving Pei Yu a good few punches.

Pei Yu had a look that said, "See, that's just how he is."

"He used to be really fierce when he fought with us, but now when he punches me, it feels like he's giving me a massage."

"Most importantly..."

Pei Yu's voice became even softer, "Once, it was a really hot day, and we wanted to drink something cold. So after class, we went to buy water together, but he told us we couldn't drink anything cold because it would cause menstrual cramps..."

I,"……"

"We all thought he was just being abstract, but now that I think about it, it's really terrifying. I'm getting goosebumps." As he spoke, Pei Yu couldn't help but rub his arms, and his gaze towards Zhao Huaixu changed.

Zhao Huaixu didn't hear what Pei Yu said to me, but he felt something was wrong from Pei Yu's eyes.

"Pei Yu, what are you muttering about?"

"Nothing, nothing," Pei Yu quickly shook his head, then added, "You haven't answered the question my sister asked you before."

Reminded by Pei Yu, Zhao Huaixu suddenly realized what was happening and began searching his body for the things he carried with him.

Until he pulled out a jade buckle wrapped in gold.

"I couldn't find any strange things I always carried with me, but the only thing I always carried with me was this jade pendant that my dad gave me."

I took the jade clasp. Half of the clasp was covered in gold, half gold and half jade.

"Did your dad give this to you?"

"Um."

I looked at Zhao Hongyi standing to the side, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant when I looked at him.

"What? You doubt me?" Zhao Hongyi asked, clearly annoyed.

"It's just reasonable suspicion. Mr. Zhao has a saying: 'If you have a clear conscience, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night.' Please don't be nervous," I replied with a smile.

Zhao Hongyi's face darkened further, but he didn't find anything wrong with Zhao Huaixu's room.

I focused my gaze on the computer that was still lit up, where a game was playing.

Seeing that I noticed the computer, Zhao Huaixu immediately said, "I really like this game. I like to stay at home and play games when I have nothing to do. If Pei Yu and He Fan hadn't invited me to go hiking, I wouldn't have wanted to go out at all."

I nodded and didn't ask any more questions. I just said to him, "I'm quite interested in this game. Call me next time you play."

Zhao Huaixu's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll definitely carry you!"

Xu Zhiyi was extremely anxious. She glared at Zhao Hongyi before cautiously asking me, "A-Yin, is there something wrong with this jade clasp?"

This jade buckle looks fine from this angle.

"No problem." With that, I returned the jade buckle to Zhao Huaixu.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongyi's expression softened somewhat, and a hint of contempt crept into his gaze as he looked at me.

I pretended not to see it and continued to say to Xu Zhiyi, "Don't worry, Aunt Xu, I see Zhao Huaixu as my younger brother. I won't let anything happen to him. Besides, if I can't make it, I still have my master."

"You're right, aren't you, Master?" I looked at Xia Zheng.

Xia Zheng, playing the role of a wise man, remained completely engaged. When he heard my words, he merely glanced at us indifferently and then nodded.

"If my apprentice could handle it, I would step in myself."

Xu Zhiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Xia Zheng's reply.

"Then, what should we do now?" Xu Zhiyi asked hurriedly. "Xiao Xu is the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. We have a mother-son relationship of sixteen years. How can I let someone else steal his life! Absolutely not!"

Seeing Zhao Hongyi standing silently with a sullen face, Xu Zhiyi became even angrier.

"You, surnamed Zhao, such a big thing has happened to our son, how can you still be so indifferent?! Could it be that you're the one who orchestrated this whole thing with Xiaoxu? Do you have an illegitimate daughter on the side?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongyi jumped up immediately.

"Madam! You can't say such things! I'm devoted to you, how could I possibly have illegitimate children!"

Xu Zhiyi looked coldly at Zhao Hongyi, "Whether or not you have illegitimate children is not up to you to decide. I will send people to investigate thoroughly. If they find out anything suspicious about you, heh..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her gaze towards Zhao Hongyi was filled with coldness.

Zhao Hongyi's face was grim, but his eyes were filled with apprehension as he looked at Xu Zhiyi.

I said to Xu Zhiyi, "Aunt Xu, I need to go back and prepare some things. I'll come back another day to resolve this matter completely."

Xu Zhiyi doesn't know much about this, but she still trusts me quite a bit.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Xu Zhiyi nodded, then added, "It's almost lunchtime now. Ah Yin, why don't you, Master Kongyi, and your friends stay for lunch? Let Aunt Xu treat you to a good meal."

I checked the time, and it was indeed almost lunchtime. I could have lunch and then leave.

I looked at Yan Jinyue, "Would you mind staying for lunch?"

"I'll listen to you," he replied.

I looked at Xia Zheng again, and he raised his chin slightly and nodded calmly.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, Aunt Xu," I said to Xu Zhiyi with a smile.

Aunt Xu was very hospitable and immediately arranged for someone to prepare lunch, which was as plentiful as possible.

While waiting for lunch, Pei Yu, Zhang Hefan, and Zhao Huaixu all gathered around Xia Zheng.

The three of them kept talking, making Xia Zheng's head ache.

"Master Kongyi, you're so young to be my sister's master! I admire you so much! Did you graduate from university?"

"Master, could you please take me as your disciple? I'd like to become fellow disciples with Sister Yin!"

"Master~~~"

Xia Zheng rubbed his temples helplessly, looking speechless at Pei Yu and the other two, who were even more talkative than him.

Let them bother Xia Zheng. Yan Jinyue and I will enjoy the flowers in the Zhao family's back garden and have some peace and quiet.

Arriving at the Zhao Family Garden, thinking about the matter of Zhao Huaixu's stolen destiny, my expression darkened slightly as I looked at Yan Jinyue.

He felt my gaze without turning his head. Yan Jinyue looked at the flowers in front of him and said to me, "A-Yin, do you have something to say?"

"Mm." I nodded gently.

Yan Jinyue said, "I would like to hear the details."

"It's about the matter of switching fates. What will happen if the Underworld finds out?" I asked casually.

After all, Qin Zhi and I secretly switched places, although it was only temporary.

Yan Jinyue finally turned his gaze to me, his eyes deep and his lips curved into a half-smile.

"It won't be anything serious, just some punishment in the underworld after death," he replied calmly.

"What kind of punishment?" I pressed.

Yan Jinyue said, "They will go through fire and water, and finally spend a hundred years in the eighteenth level of hell."

Me: "...Is it that serious?"

"Stealing someone else's destiny is theft, and this punishment is necessary."

Hearing what Yan Jinyue said, I felt the hairs on my body stand on end.

If Qin Zhi and I temporarily exchange fates, will it also put me through hell and oil, and then imprison me in the eighteenth level of hell for a hundred years?

Seeing that I froze and didn't speak, Yan Jinyue raised an eyebrow slightly. "What's wrong? You seem a little nervous right now."

"I'm not nervous, you're mistaken," I replied.

Dad, we've managed to fool the King of the Underworld now. Will we end up in a boiling oil pot hand in hand after we die?

"If you have any worries, you can tell me. As your current husband, I can help you." Yan Jinyue's calm voice rang out.

I forced a smile. How could I dare to say such a thing?

I just want to fast forward to three years from now.

"It's alright, if I really do need your help, I will definitely ask you for it," I said.

"it is good."

Yan Jinyue looked at the roses blooming beautifully in front of him. He wanted to reach out and pluck one, but suddenly stopped picking it as if he had thought of something.

He withdrew his hand, opened his palm upwards, and specks of blue spiritual energy gathered in his palm, condensing into a blue rose.

Using spiritual energy to create roses was a bit extravagant for Yan Jinyue.

He handed me the rose, saying, "This is for you."

I was stunned when I saw the rose, which was still radiating a blue aura, being handed to me.

He actually gave it to me?

I hesitated to reach out and take it, still in shock.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Yan Jinyue frowned slightly. "Don't you like roses? What flowers do you like then?"

It's not about whether I like roses or not, but why would he suddenly give me this flower?

"I'm just a little surprised that you suddenly sent me roses."

I spoke softly, reaching out to take the blue rose.

Upon hearing my words, Yan Jinyue's expression remained calm.

"As your husband, I don't need a reason to give my wife a flower."

I was slightly taken aback again. Okay, Yan Jinyue, you win.

According to him, there is indeed no reason needed.

At that moment, a young girl came to the garden.

"Miss Yin, Mr. Yan, lunch is ready. Please come in and have a meal."

I looked at the girl who was speaking. She looked to be about the same age as Pei Yu and the others, and she was wearing a school uniform.

When I looked at her, she gave me a polite smile.

"Okay," I replied.

I entered the house with Yan Jinyue, holding the blue roses. Pei Yu immediately noticed the roses in my hand.

"Sis! Where did you get these flowers? They seem to be sparkling. Is it just my imagination?"

Pei Yu's eyes were wide open like copper bells. Xia Zheng also wanted to come closer to look, but because he had to maintain his persona, he could only glance at them with aloofness.

I tapped Pei Yu's forehead. "Don't pry into your sister's affairs."

Apart from Xia Zheng, no one present knew about my relationship with Yan Jinyue.

While the Zhao family's nanny was serving the dishes, I called Zhao Huaixu aside.

"Who is that girl to you?" I asked softly, glancing casually at the girl in school uniform who had come to the garden to have dinner with us earlier.

The girl was helping to serve the food at that moment and wasn't paying much attention to me.

Zhao Huaixu replied in a low voice, "She is Aunt Bai's daughter, named Bai Xiaochun."

"Aunt Bai?"

"Aunt Bai is our housekeeper. She takes care of all the household chores. She has worked for us for eighteen years. Bai Xiaochun was brought here because she was going to high school. She usually helps the nanny with some chores."

"I see. But why don't I see the butler?" I asked.

Zhao Huaixu frowned. "It seems she took the day off today because of some family matters. Sister Yin, is there something wrong?"

I shook my head. "It's okay, let's go eat."

Lunch was very plentiful, with everything that flies in the sky, swims in the water, and runs on the ground.

I think Yan Jinyue and Xia Zheng must be very happy, since they both love to eat.

Zhao Hongyi wasn't there during lunch; Aunt Xu said he had to go and handle an urgent matter at the company.

I didn't ask any more questions, but I would occasionally glance at Bai Xiaochun, who was eating with the nanny at the small dining table in the kitchen.

After lunch, I didn't stay at the Zhao family's house for long before leaving. Zhao Huaixu reluctantly saw us off at the door.

"Sister Yin, you have to save me! Although girls are beautiful, I really don't want to become a girl. I feel like I'm losing control of my behavior more and more." Zhao Huaixu said with a bitter face.

I patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll do my best. Even if you do turn into a girl..."

"That is?"

"If your destiny is stolen, you will be gone."

Zhao Huaixu: "!!! The sky has fallen!!"

On the way back, Xia Zheng couldn't help but ask me, "Master, if Zhao Huaixu's fate were successfully switched, would he really be gone?"

"Hmm, you think I was just trying to scare him?" I said as I drove. "This method of switching fates is extremely vicious. The person whose fate is stolen will experience the most unfortunate thing in their life before they die."

"If I'm not mistaken, if he had died at Qingyue Mountain last time, his fate would have already been successfully switched."

"Zhao Huaixu was just unlucky before, but after this, he will experience nothing but dead ends."

When Xia Zheng heard what I said, he trembled with fear and hugged his frail self tightly.

"This is terrifying, it feels even scarier than encountering a ghost."

I laughed. "You used to be so excited about these kinds of things, why do you seem a little scared now?"

Xia Zheng sighed helplessly, "Before, it was ghosts we encountered, but now it's people manipulating the fate-swapping. I think these people are even more cunning than ghosts, and people can't easily trust ghosts, but they can easily trust other people."

Xia Zheng is right; people are often not that wary of their own kind.

Like Cheng Fei before her, who was deceived and ultimately died tragically.

"Master..." Xia Zheng called out again.

I asked, "Is there anything else?"

His gaze fell on the blue rose I had placed on the center armrest of the car.

"These flowers were a gift from Mr. Yan, weren't they?"
