Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1108: Keep the Music Playing, Keep Dancing

Yun Susu and Yun Mengyao took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and by this time Jin Die had already prepared the meal.

The four of them sat around the table.

While eating, Jin Die recounted how Qin Yi rescued her, then returned to the mansion to punish those wicked servants.

Yun Susu, unsure of what else to say, frequently offered toasts in gratitude.

However, Qin Yi was not particularly appreciative. Yun Susu's eyes dimmed; it seemed Qin Yi still couldn't forgive her for using him in the past.

Yun Mengyao didn't interject either; this was Qin Yi's matter. She knew Qin Yi well; although he appeared gentle, he was a man of principle. Yun Susu seeking forgiveness wouldn't be an easy or quick task.

"Qin Yi, can you return to your normal appearance? It's really awkward to look at," Yun Mengyao teased.

Qin Yi said irritably, "Well, you'll have to wait until I finish eating."

Yun Mengyao pouted and quietly asked Jin Die, "What's stuffed in Qin Yi's chest?"

"Apples."

Yun Mengyao: "..."

"I swear I'll never eat apples again."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes irritably. He then looked at Yun Susu and said, "Third Princess, now that we're in the Imperial City, shouldn't you give us the map?"

Yun Susu pressed her lips tightly, looked at Qin Yi, and said, "Tomorrow I will meet with Father, and when I return, I'll give you the map, ensuring it's the most complete."

Jin Die hesitated to speak but was stopped by Yun Susu's glance.

"Alright, then I'll wait until tomorrow."

...

...

At this moment, the Second Prince Mansion was still brightly lit, and the scene was filled with the sounds of music and dance.

"Bang!"

Yun Baixuan suddenly smashed the white jade wine cup in his hand to pieces.

"What did you say?"

He roared at the person kneeling in front of him.

The music and dance halted abruptly; Yun Baixuan's anger rendered the scene deathly silent, with everyone kneeling on the ground.

"All of you, get out of here." Yun Baixuan shouted angrily, chasing away the musicians, dancers, and maids, leaving only his confidants.

The person kneeling in front of Yun Baixuan was a strong practitioner in the middle stage of Unification, named Cheng Feng, a highly trusted confidant of Yun Baixuan.

Yun Baixuan was usually gentle, but his current anger indicated he was livid.

"Second Prince, we received news from the people watching the Princess Mansion that Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao suddenly appeared in the Third Princess Mansion. Also, Tianxiang House reported that Gao Tianhuan and Li Changdi were killed in the prison, and Yun Susu and Yun Mengyao have vanished." Cheng Feng briefly explained the situation. In fact, he had already mentioned it once, but when the master asked, he could only repeat it.

An ominous glint flickered in Yun Baixuan's eyes, causing unease.

"Fools, we've been tricked." Yun Baixuan's voice was icy.

Cheng Feng and the others looked baffled.

Yun Baixuan said sternly, "The Yun Susu who came to the mansion today must have been a fake. The one we captured is the real one. With two Yun Susus appearing, they calculated that we would definitely investigate, so they followed Gao Tianhuan and Li Changdi to Tianxiang House, killed the two, and rescued the real Yun Susu."

Cheng Feng and the others suddenly realized.

Yun Baixuan tried to suppress his inner rage, knowing that he had to remain calm at this moment. With a sigh, he said, "We were too careless and gave the enemy an opening."

Cheng Feng frowned and said, "Second Prince, besides a trustworthy maid, the Third Princess has no one else to rely on. Could it be that all this was orchestrated by that Jin Die?"

Yun Baixuan shook his head, "Impossible, Jin Die doesn't have such brains. If my guess is correct, all this is Qin Yi's strategy. I think the one who killed Gao Tianhuan and Li Changdi must also be Qin Yi. This person saved Jin Die, came to the Imperial City, never showed his face, but planned everything in the dark.

I never thought this Qin Yi not only had extraordinary cultivation but also outstanding intelligence. I underestimated him."

Cheng Feng immediately said, "Second Prince, should I take some men to kill Qin Yi? Leaving him alive will eventually lead to disaster."

"No." Yun Baixuan waved his hand, "This prince has always been eager to recruit talents. His cultivation and intelligence, the fact that he managed to outsmart me, makes him the first one. Such a person must be brought to our side."

"But what if he refuses to submit to you, Second Prince?"

Yun Baixuan laughed confidently, "He will. With such intellect, how could he not weigh the pros and cons? Even a fool would know how to choose between a fallen princess and a prince in his prime, let alone someone as smart as him."

Cheng Feng hurriedly said, "What the Second Prince says is very true."

"Exchanging Gao Tianhuan and Li Changdi for a Qin Yi is worth the trade." Yun Baixuan's mood suddenly brightened.

"Cheng Feng, have someone watching the Third Princess to find a way to notify Qin Yi. Tomorrow, I will host a banquet at the Tianci Restaurant to entertain him. Also, inform the people at Tianxiang House to clean up all traces, keep a few insignificant individuals, and withdraw everyone else, leaving no evidence for others."

"Yes." Cheng Feng bowed his head in agreement, thought for a moment, and said, "Second Prince, the Third Princess already knows about Tianxiang House, she will surely report everything to the Emperor, you should be prepared to deal with it beforehand."

Yun Baixuan waved his hand, "It's not a concern. I know my fifth sister's capabilities well. Dealing with her is too easy."

Cheng Feng nodded.

"Come, continue the music and dance." Yun Baixuan, having come up with a plan, was in better spirits and shouted.

...

Princess Mansion.

After dinner, Qin Yi returned to his original appearance. He was now sitting on the roof, looking at a locket hanging around his neck, inside of which was a photo of Xia Yanbing and two children.

He knew that many of the Second Prince's men were watching nearby, so he deliberately revealed his true appearance.

The fact that the Second Prince received news so quickly was naturally because Qin Yi intentionally let him know.

Anyone else would surely worry about the Second Prince getting angry and retaliating. But Qin Yi had no fear at all. He just wanted to annoy the Second Prince, making himself feel smug. If he didn't let people know when he had gained the upper hand, it wouldn't be satisfying.

Qin Yi looked at the photo in the locket, his eyes gentle.

It had been over a month since he arrived in this world, and he hadn't even left the Moon Desolate Domain yet. The progress was far behind what he expected.

Qin Yi initially thought he could fix everything within a few months and then quickly return home. However, looking at the current situation, it might take years.

Suddenly, Qin Yi closed the locket and put it back into his chest.

A figure unexpectedly appeared beside Qin Yi. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Qin Yi didn't make any movements, just turned his head to look at this uninvited guest. This person had been hiding around the Princess Mansion, and Qin Yi had long sensed his presence, but he didn't know why he suddenly revealed himself.

The person approached Qin Yi and said coldly, "Qin Yi, tomorrow at noon, someone wants to meet you at the Tianci Restaurant."

"Oh, got it, now go away!" Qin Yi said indifferently.

A chill passed through the other's eyes, but he merely snorted coldly before disappearing into the night.
