Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1102: Testing the Waters

"Thank you for your concern, Second Brother. Didn't I just come back to see you first for Ping'an?" Qin Yi said with a smile, though he felt quite disgusted inside; from the first meeting, he could clearly sense how hypocritical Yun Baixuan was.

"Fifth Sister, don't just stand there talking. Come, sit down quickly!"

"Thank you, Second Brother."

Jin Die supported Qin Yi as they walked towards the nearby chair.

Yun Baixuan looked sharply at their backs. The appearance was fine, the voice was fine, the walking posture was fine; the person in front of him was indeed Yun Susu.

But if that was the case, then who was the Yun Susu he had captured?

Yun Baixuan glanced sharply at Gao Tianhuan and Li Changdi, his eyes filled with questions. At this moment, Yun Susu turned and sat down, and Yun Baixuan immediately changed to a concerned expression.

The speed of changing faces was indeed fast, Qin Yi sneered inwardly. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Someone, serve the tea. I remember Fifth Sister likes to drink the Thousand Sparrow Tea from Minghuang Mountain, and Second Brother has always prepared it for you." Yun Haoxuan said with a smile, his expression resembling that of a caring elder brother.

Qin Yi sneered inwardly but kept a light smile on his face, "Second Brother, you remembered wrong. Susu only likes to drink the White Tea from Dragon Mist Mountain."

Long Baixuan slapped his forehead, reproaching himself, "Fifth Sister, don't blame me, look at my memory, really busy and muddled, even remembered Fifth Sister's taste wrong."

"It's okay, Second Brother is busy with work, it's normal to remember such a small thing about Susu wrong."

Yun Baixuan chuckled, "Thank you, Fifth Sister, for understanding."

Soon, the tea was served.

"Fifth Sister, taste it; this tea is specially prepared for you by Second Brother. I've already got it packed, take it with you when you leave."

"Thank you, Fifth Brother." Qin Yi bowed slightly, then picked up the tea cup, only took a small sip, and smiled, "It's a bit hot." Saying this, he put the tea cup down.

Yun Baixuan's fingertips trembled slightly; it was indeed Yun Susu, as Yun Susu never drank hot tea and waited until it was almost cold before drinking it, a detail known by very few.

But Yun Baixuan forgot that nobody knew Yun Susu's living details better than Jin Die.

"Fifth Sister, have you visited Father Emperor?" Yun Baixuan asked.

Qin Yi shook her head gently, "Second Brother also knows Susu's current situation; without a summons, Susu cannot go see Father Emperor."

"Look at my brain. But you've led people to kill the Three Kings of the Tianyue Empire, such a great achievement, Father Emperor will surely summon you. Perhaps, Father Emperor doesn't know you have returned yet."

"Second Brother guessed right; besides the people in the residence, only Second Brother knows Susu has returned."

Yun Baixuan's gaze flickered slightly, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

Qin Yi's lips slightly curled up; he could guess the general idea of what Yun Baixuan was thinking. Because Yun Baixuan's thoughts were entirely under his control now.

"Oh, Fifth Sister, why haven't I seen your subordinate, Qin Yi? Second Brother really wants to meet him; it's said he helped Sister conquer the Three Kings. Such a strong person is also of interest to Second Brother."

"I'm afraid Second Brother will be disappointed; Qin Yi and I separated in Fengwu City. He has some personal affairs to handle, so it'll be a while before he can come find me in the Imperial City."

"Fengwu City?" Yun Baixuan said with some surprise.

Qin Yi said with a smile, "That's right, Qin Yi was concerned someone might harm us on the journey, so he suggested we split into two routes. I, Jin Die, Qin Yi, and Yun Mengyao all split up. Jin Die was captured by Song Qingfeng along the way but saved by Qin Yi.

Second Brother, I wonder under whose command Song Qingfeng dared to take action against me. This matter I must report to Father Emperor, let him investigate thoroughly."

Yun Baixuan's corner muscles twitched hard; the Yun Susu and Yun Mengyao brought back by Gao Tianhuan and Li Changdi were indeed handed over by Song Qingfeng, but why hadn't he handed Jin Die over then? Qin Yi saved Jin Die...

His mind was now in chaos; two Yun Susus left him unable to sort things out for a moment.

Yun Baixuan was almost certain that the Yun Susu in front of him was real, but the Yun Susu he had locked up also seemed not to be fake.

The current plan was to first determine which of the two Yun Susus was real. He must not let the real Yun Susu face the Emperor.

Yun Baixuan said with a smile, "Fifth Sister, it's getting late, it's time for dinner. Stay for dinner before going back, Second Brother will have someone make your favorite dishes."

"Thank you, Second Brother, but Susu already dined before coming, really doesn't have much appetite. I came this time because there's something I need advice on from Second Brother."

"Hmm? Fifth Sister, just say it, with Second Brother, don't be polite."

"Second Brother, Qin Yi saved Jin Die, and when he handed her to me, he told me something. Jin Die, tell him, you were there."

"Yes." Jin Die stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "At that time, Song Qingfeng wanted to hand me over to a Mr. Li to take back to the Imperial City. Well, Qin Yi appeared, and the three couldn't compete, to save their lives, they claimed to be part of the Second Prince's faction, capturing the Princess was under his orders."

Yun Baixuan's smile stiffened, suddenly enraged, "Nonsense, Song Qingfeng and I have no intersection, he is a War General of the Yunyue Empire, his loyalty lies with the Emperor. As a Prince, how could I command him? Moreover, Fifth Sister is my biological sister, why would I have him capture Fifth Sister?

Slander, blatant slander, this Prince will certainly report to Father Emperor and let him decide. Fifth Sister, you must trust Second Brother, since childhood, when have I ever harmed you?"

Qin Yi smiled slightly, "I naturally believe in Second Brother, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you to verify but would tell Father Emperor directly when he's summoned. Since Second Brother claims ignorance, then this matter must be Song Qingfeng's slander of Second Brother."

Yun Baixuan's anger remained, "Rest assured, Fifth Sister, I will certainly give you an explanation on this matter. Once I report to Father Emperor, I will immediately send someone to capture Song Qingfeng and confront him face-to-face. I want to ask why he slandered me? Accusing a Prince at will is a grave crime."

"Second Brother, no need to be so upset, Song Qingfeng has already been punished."

"Hmm?" Yun Baixuan was stunned.

"Jin Die, you tell it, you were there at the scene."

Jin Die nodded and said, "Song Qingfeng, Mr. Li, and Qiu Shuang, all three were turned into turtles by Qin Yi."

Yun Baixuan was dumbfounded, wearing a dumbfounded expression, completely baffled by Jin Die's words.

"Jin Die, what do you mean by them being turned into turtles by Qin Yi? How can a person be turned into a turtle?"

Jin Die explained in detail how Qin Yi made Fine Steel pillars into turtle shells and placed them on Song Qingfeng and the other three.

Yun Baixuan felt awful, with a pale face, his fingertips uncontrollably trembling.

Gao Tianhuan and Li Changdi, too, lost their color, frightened all over by Qin Yi's cruel tactics.

Yun Baixuan finally came to his senses, frowned, and said, "Fifth Sister, indeed Song Qingfeng is guilty, but he is still a War General of the Yunyue Empire. His mistakes ought to be judged by our Royal Family. Qin Yi administering private punishment is truly inappropriate. I'm not sympathizing with Song Qingfeng, merely that Qin Yi's actions are inappropriate both in sentiment and reason."
