Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife Chapter 444: Scalp Tingling, Yet Another Disguise!

To the west of the General Mansion, there is a prison cell used specifically for detaining servants who have made mistakes. It was afternoon at the ti, and Long Yue had just finished her al and went out for a walk, unknowingly ending up here.

"Squeak!"

A short, anxious sound ca from inside, sounding so desperate, as if life was not worth living.

Long Yue frowned slightly, and Ning Xiang, who was beside her, said, "Madam, this place is ominous. How about we go sowhere else?"

Li Qingmu had told Long Yue before not to ddle with this monkey. Ning Xiang rembered and subtly reminded her, but her reminder was very indirect.

Long Yue, however, shook her head, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, let’s go and take a look!"

"Madam, but..."

Ning Xiang was a bit troubled.

Long Yue glanced at her lightly, and Ning Xiang quickly lowered her head, "Yes!"

Alas, in this household, the Madam holds the most power; even the husband has to yield to her sowhat!

She opened the door; the monkey, like a docile child, nestled inside. As the door opened and a bright ray of sunlight shone in, the monkey squinted slightly.

This action was very human-like.

Long Yue was very curious in her heart, just what kind of monkey was this?

She slowly approached, observing it closely.

The monkey was shackled, with its hands and feet bound by ropes, ensuring it wouldn’t suddenly beco aggressive, and judging by its weary appearance, it probably wouldn’t harm anyone.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The monkey was probably afraid of people; even though Long Yue had no ill intentions, as she approached, it still emitted a pleading sound.

Long Yue spoke faintly, trying to keep her tone gentle, "Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. Can you tell why you ca to my doorstep?"

This monkey was obviously very clever; Long Yue didn’t believe it would co to her ho by chance.

The monkey slowly raised its head, looking at Long Yue with eyes full of supplication and gratitude, perhaps grateful it wasn’t stopped earlier, allowing it to escape, but this plea... maybe it was asking her to release it?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly noticed fear filling the monkey’s eyes and was taken aback; what was happening?

But soon, Long Yue realized its fear wasn’t because of her, but soone else!

Long Yue hurriedly turned around and saw her husband’s dark face.

"Who allowed you to co here? Don’t you know it’s very dangerous?"

Li Qingmu’s voice was cold, tinged with a bit of anger, and a frustration of hoping for more from soone.

Uh? Long Yue wondered if she had made a mistake, provoking this man?

"I was just taking a casual look, besides, it won’t hurt anyone!"

Long Yue pointed at the little monkey, showing a sweet smile, the monkey stared blankly, perhaps feeling a sort of attraction.

Li Qingmu’s face grew even darker, pulling Long Yue away, "This place is filthy and foul, not suitable for a pregnant woman like you!"

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Li Qingmu led Long Yue out of the prison cell, and the monkey suddenly cried out, struggling desperately, even jumping around frantically!

Both Li Qingmu and Long Yue were stunned, was the monkey’s reaction really so intense? Rember, when it was caught before, it wasn’t this intense, was it?

"This monkey has a problem!"

The two spoke in unison, exchanging glances.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The monkey continued to struggle, the chains on its body clattered noisily, and suddenly, Li Qingmu, who was quick-eyed, saw a piece of skin falling off the monkey!

His pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes flashing a look of horror.

"Yue’er, don’t move, Zifeng, Qingming!"

These two were subordinates given to him by Qi Jingyu, and he had used them obligingly.

"Young Master?"

The two appeared like phantoms and saluted.

"Go, untie the ropes on this monkey."

Zifeng glanced at Li Qingmu, after getting a definite confirmation, stepped forward and untied the ropes binding the monkey.

With the ropes untied, the monkey attempted to move towards Long Yue.

But only the ropes were removed, allowing the monkey so freedom of movent, the chains were still there, restricting it from going too far.

But this was enough, it cautiously approached Long Yue step by step.

Such a move was indeed surprising.

Li Qingmu frowned slightly, pointing at the monkey’s piece of peeling skin, "Take a look, be careful."

The two stepped forward to tear at that piece of skin, expecting it to require great effort, possibly causing the monkey pain and triggering its resistance, but with just a slight force, the monkey gently "squeaked," and a large piece of skin fell off.

Instantly, Long Yue and Li Qingmu felt a tingling on their scalps!

The monkey skin was nothing, but inside, it was... human skin! And because it had been covered by monkey fur for so long, so areas were beginning to fester!

Even so places were stuck together, possibly torn open during the recent struggle, with oozing bloodstains on top!

"Peel it all off!"

Li Qingmu ordered coldly, and Zifeng and Qingming, without a word, skillfully peeled off all the "monkey" skin.

In an instant, a small, bloody, filthy boy appeared before everyone!

This...

The people present couldn’t help but gasp, even Zifeng and Qingming, who lived as assassins and killers, felt a chill down their backs.

The person before them was a child through and through, what kind of brutal person would do such a thing to a child?

Too terrifying!

And infuriating!

The crowd was silently shocked for a long ti, then Long Yue suddenly said, "Go, quickly call Master to co and see this child!"

Long Yue touched her own belly; she, too, was about to beco a mother. Who could bear to see their child suffer like this? They’d most likely faint from the pain!

A tragic scene!

"So, the one who tried to assassinate the Emperor, could it also be...?"

Li Qingmu’s pupils contracted slightly, his face also reflecting disbelief.

The monkey that attempted to assassinate the Emperor might also have been a human!

But it probably wasn’t a child, its gaze was very fierce and resolute, sothing a child couldn’t possess, plus it was slightly bigger.

Perhaps, it was trained by dwarves?

This thought rely flickered across his mind, as the matter had happened long ago and couldn’t be verified, especially since Li Qingmu had been severely injured and unconscious at the ti.

Long Yue, anwhile, was caring for him in the Imperial Palace, oblivious to the outside events.

Not long after, Duanmu Nan arrived, seeing the wretched state of the little boy, he was also moved.

"This is truly... monstrous sin!"

Duanmu Nan shook his head, gently sighing before taking the little boy inside for treatnt.

Long Yue waited outside, she thought she should have been a heartless person, but as she was about to beco a mother, seeing this child’s misery, she felt a bit sad and sympathetic.

Was she also sensitive and sentintal?

Long Yue was very puzzled.

Li Qingmu saw her small, conflicted appearance and was speechless; Duanmu Nan had previously told him that won endure the most hardship during pregnancy and childbirth, and many experience various ntal irregularities, urging him to be more forgiving.

Of course, Li Qingmu would be more forgiving; that was his wife.

But seeing her like this now, he was indeed a bit worried, would his little wife also encounter so issues?

No, he needed to have Duanmu Nan check her pulse later.

A full hour later, Duanmu Nan finally ca out, his expression surprisingly showing signs of fatigue.

"Master, how’s the child?"

Duanmu Nan glanced at Long Yue, shaking his head slightly, and Long Yue’s heart sunk instantly!
