Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1008: Silent Until Astounding

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing Nie Zhujun's words, the tea that Qin Yi had just sipped sprayed out in a mist.

Mo Wuji also nearly sprayed his out, but managed to hold it in.

Mo Hutu stretched his neck like a chicken being strangled, almost choking on his own saliva, coughing violently and turning red-faced.

"Hahaha..."

Qin Yi couldn't hold it in any longer, laughing so hard he bent back and forth.

Nie Zhujun looked puzzled at the exaggerated laughter of Qin Yi, then turned to Mo Hutu, "Senior, did I say something wrong?"

"No mistake, Old Hutu is here to propose marriage to your family's ancestor, preparing for a twilight romance. Hahaha..." Qin Yi laughed so hard he was out of breath, his face flushed with laughter.

Nie Zhujun looked embarrassed, knowing from Qin Yi's reaction that she had misspoken.

Mo Hutu finally caught his breath, glared at Qin Yi, and then said, "I'm not here to propose for myself, but for Wuji."

"Young Master Mo?" Nie Zhujun was taken aback.

Qin Yi chuckled, "Pavilion Master Nie, Old Mo is no longer the young master, but the head of the Mo Family now."

Nie Zhujun was surprised, not expecting that Mo Wuji had already become the head of the Mo Family, a status equal to hers.

"Master Mo, I sincerely apologize." Earlier, when Nie Zhujun spoke to Mo Wuji, it was in the tone of an elder. Since he was now the head of the Mo Family, a status equivalent to hers, her previous tone was quite inappropriate.

Mo Wuji quickly bowed, "Pavilion Master Nie, there's no need for formalities. In front of you, I am always the junior."

Joking aside, this was a mother-in-law-like figure. Whether Bai Jingqing could marry him depended on her decision. How could he dare to act big?

Nie Zhujun found Mo Wuji's humble attitude strange. Still, seeing his courteous manner raised her opinion of him. Achieving such renown and position at a young age and remaining humble was indeed rare.

"Master Mo, may I know who you're proposing to?"

Mo Wuji instinctively looked at Bai Jingqing.

Following his gaze, Nie Zhujun saw Bai Jingqing shyly lower her head, and her face immediately changed.

Bai Jingqing was the best disciple of Baihua Pavilion, now holding the title of Holy Daughter, and the future Pavilion Master. If Mo Wuji took her away, what future would Baihua Pavilion have?

"Pavilion Master Nie, I am here to marry Junior Sister Bai, and I hope you will agree," Mo Wuji said earnestly.

Nie Zhujun's face turned grim. "You want to take away Baihua Pavilion's outstanding disciple, and you expect my consent? Dream on."

"Master Mo, please don't joke. Jingqing is our Pavilion's Holy Daughter, while you are the Mo Family's head. Such a disparity in status, I dare not climb high."

Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat, suddenly getting nervous. From Nie Zhujun's words, it seemed she didn't agree for Bai Jingqing to marry him.

Qin Yi, however, remained calm, having anticipated that this proposal wouldn't go smoothly.

Bai Jingqing's pretty face dimmed, not saying a word.

On one side was Nie Zhujun, who treated her like a daughter, and on the other, her lover Mo Wuji. It was inappropriate to side with either, so staying silent was best.

Mo Wuji grew anxious, earnestly saying, "Pavilion Master Nie, Junior Sister Bai and I are deeply in love. I'm sincere about her, and I vow with my life to treat her well, love her, and protect her all my life. If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning and die without a grave."

Qin Yi secretly clicked his tongue. Getting a wife was really tough; he was quite ruthless on himself.

Nie Zhujun looked at Mo Wuji, admiring his accomplishments at such a young age, a rarity in the world. However, Bai Jingqing was Baihua Pavilion's future and hope, and couldn't be married off to the Mo Family.

"Master Mo, I sincerely apologize. Jingqing cannot marry you. Baihua Pavilion has three hundred disciples, all young and beautiful. If Master Mo likes any of them, I can facilitate it. But Jingqing, no. She is as important to Baihua Pavilion as you are to the Mo Family. I hope you can understand."

Mo Wuji turned red with anxiety, saying, "Pavilion Master Nie, love isn't child's play. In my heart, there's only Junior Sister Bai. Indeed, the fairies of Baihua Pavilion are all stunningly beautiful, but among the vast waters, I only desire one ladle."

Nie Zhujun's face darkened. "Master Mo, I can agree to anything else, but not to this. Forced love has no sweetness."

Mo Wuji panicked, utterly at a loss, instinctively looking at Qin Yi, eyes filled with pleading.

Qin Yi sighed slightly, smiling, "Pavilion Master Nie, how can you know whether it's sweet if you don't taste it? Besides, why force it when it can happen naturally?"

"Happen naturally? What do you mean?"

"Little Bai Fairy is pregnant with Mo Wuji's child."

Nani?

Qin Yi's statement was truly shocking.

The words landed like a deep-sea bomb, leaving everyone stunned, gaping in bewilderment.

Even Bai Jingqing herself was dumbfounded.

"Jingqing, is this true?" Nie Zhujun's voice trembled.

Bai Jingqing was just about to explain when Qin Yi spoke first, "Of course it's true. In the Secret Realm, Little Bai Fairy seduced Old Mo. Given the time, the child should be born in a few months."

Nie Zhujun's face darkened to the extreme, her fingertips trembling. "You... you..."

Nie Zhujun was so angry she couldn't utter a complete sentence, her vision darkening. Bai Jingqing being pregnant was outrageous.

"I'll kill you," Nie Zhujun suddenly roared at Mo Wuji, full of murderous intent.

Mo Wuji stood with his mouth open, still processing the buzz in his head from Qin Yi's words.

"Pavilion Master, please don't!" Bai Jingqing pleaded urgently.

The murderous aura from Nie Zhujun was palpable, making the surrounding air colder.

"This scoundrel defiled your purity, and you still protect him? Are you trying to upset me to death?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean defiled her purity? It was Little Bai Fairy who seduced Old Mo. Didn't I make it clear before?"

"Nonsense!" Nie Zhujun roared.

Qin Yi: "..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

To make the dignified Baihua Pavilion's Pavilion Master curse was a testament to Qin Yi's exceptional talent for riling people up.

"I say, Pavilion Master Nie, what age is this? Why cling to old customs of parental arrangements and matchmaking? The cooked rice is done, just accept it. Congratulations, you're about to become a grandmother."

Qin Yi's words nearly made Nie Zhujun's stomach bleed from fury, her teeth grinding like she'd transform into a fierce mastiff.

"Even if Jingqing is pregnant, the child cannot remain," Nie Zhujun said angrily.

Everyone's expressions changed, staring at Nie Zhujun in disbelief, not expecting her to say something so cold-blooded.

Qin Yi's eyes turned cold, a chill exuding from him. Previously, he thought Nie Zhujun was reasonable and understanding. He realized he'd misjudged; this old witch was thoroughly vile. Although he knew Bai Jingqing wasn't pregnant, such cruel words infuriated him.

In the past, his and Xia Yanbing's first child was miscarried because of the Diao Family. It took Xia Yanbing over half a year to recover from the grief. He knew she still hadn't let go, often secretly mourning the child who never saw the world.

What crime did the child commit? How could Nie Zhujun utter such cold-blooded, cruel words?
