Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1109: Because I’m Outstanding

The next day, in the early morning, after finishing breakfast, Yun Susu sent someone to the Royal Family to deliver a petition, requesting an audience with the Emperor.

Qin Yi sneered, "A child meeting their father, yet having to submit a petition. It's utterly ridiculous."

Yun Susu's eyes dimmed. When her mother was the Empress, she was once favored by her father and could freely enter and exit the Royal Family, but now things are different. The petition was submitted, but whether the Emperor will see her is still uncertain.

"The Royal Family's rules are always stringent."

Qin Yi indifferently said, "Since ancient times, the Royal Family is often heartless."

"With loss comes gain. We who are born with a golden spoon, enjoying wealth and luxury, cannot enjoy familial affection." Yun Susu's smile was full of bitterness.

"Third Princess, would your days be much better if you rescued your mother?" Yun Mengyao asked.

Yun Susu smiled bitterly, "My mother has lost her position as Empress. Once rescued, I will take her away from the Royal Family to a place where no one can disturb us, to live quietly."

"Have you ever thought about competing for the throne?" Qin Yi inquired.

Yun Susu was stunned, then shook her head. This is something she never considered, she only wants to rescue her mother.

Qin Yi's eyes flickered, but he said no more and instead changed the topic: "By the way, today I have an appointment."

The three women looked at him in surprise.

Yun Mengyao disparagingly said, "Who do you know in the Imperial City besides us? Who's your appointment with?"

As she spoke, Yun Mengyao glared, "You wouldn't be going to a brothel, would you?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"Are you foolish? Who goes to a brothel at noon?"

Yun Mengyao pouted, disdainfully saying, "You men, do you care what time it is when going to a brothel?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"I'm going to meet Yun Baixuan."

The three women were shocked.

Yun Mengyao said, "Second Prince, why is he inviting you?"

"I don't know."

"You're still going? Just don't fall into a trap."

Qin Yi laughed, "Even if it is a trap, I have to go. Since he sent someone to invite me, how can I not go?"

"When did he send someone to invite you? How come I didn't know?"

Qin Yi said disdainfully, "What do you know besides eating?"

Yun Mengyao glared at him indignantly, "I'm smart."

Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Do you know that the people around the Third Princess Mansion are all under the Second Prince?"

"Ah?" Yun Mengyao was astonished.

Yun Susu wasn't surprised; it seemed she had grown accustomed to it. Not only the surroundings, but even inside the mansion, aside from Jin Die, there wasn't a single person loyal to her.

"If the Second Prince is inviting you, he's definitely plotting against you," Yun Mengyao confidently said.

Qin Yi joked, "I said you know nothing besides eating, right? The Second Prince inviting me this time is definitely not to plot against me, but to win me over."

"Why?"

"Because I'm excellent."

Yun Mengyao: "..."

"Shameless, you killed his people, yet expect him to win you over. Be careful or you might lose your life."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "If you go, you'll definitely lose your life. Besides, you're not invited; the Second Prince wouldn't invite you. I, however, will get good food, drinks, and benefits."

"Don't go, I forbid you to go," Yun Mengyao said angrily.

Qin Yi, curious, asked, "Why?"

"I know you too well. You're so greedy that if you're swayed, what about the Third Princess? You are unstable and can't resist temptation, better stay put."

Qin Yi: "..."

Yun Mengyao stated seriously, "Do you think the Second Prince is a good person? He even does harm to his own sister; what are you worth? Even if you help him succeed, in the end, you won't escape death. I'm considering your life."

Qin Yi looked disgusted, "Thank you!"

"So you're not going?"

"Going."

"You... then I'll go with you."

"You're not invited, why would you go?"

"I'll go to watch over you! You can't resist temptation, so if the Second Prince uses a beauty trap on you, you'll definitely fall for it. With me beside you, no one can be prettier than me, so the beauty trap would be ineffective."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Why is your face so big? With you beside me, even if I wouldn't fall for the trap, I'd have to."

Yun Mengyao clenched her fists, glaring at Qin Yi fiercely, "Try saying that again? Don't you think I'm beautiful?"

Seeing her demeanor, if Qin Yi dared say she wasn't beautiful, she'd throw a punch.

Qin Yi looked speechless, "Beautiful, stunningly beautiful."

"Then I'll go with you."

"No."

Yun Susu laughed, "Miss Yun, rest assured. Since Mr. Qin mentioned this matter, he won't be swayed by the Second Prince. Otherwise, he could have quietly gone alone; why bother telling us?"

"See? That's what a refined and intelligent woman is. When encountering problems, think wisely, don't be loud and rash. After all, you're a Holy Daughter; don't act like a shrew."

Yun Mengyao immediately exploded, "You're the shrew, throwing tantrums, crying and shouting without reason."

Qin Yi: "..."

Just as Qin Yi was about to speak, a soldier from the mansion rushed in to report saying the Royal Family had conveyed a message for Yun Susu to meet the Emperor.

"Third Princess, may I go with you to the Royal Family?" Yun Mengyao eagerly asked, "Qin Yi is off to enjoy good food without me, so take me to play in the Royal Family. I haven't been there yet."

"Sure." Yun Susu agreed with a smile.

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, not expecting Yun Susu to agree so readily.

Yun Susu said, "Actually, both Mr. Qin and Miss Yun should go with me to meet the Emperor, considering the Three Kings of the Tianyue Empire were slain by Mr. Qin. Since Mr. Qin has business, taking Miss Yun is the same."

"There won't be any danger, right?" Qin Yi asked worriedly.

"No, it's just to meet my father, we'll be back shortly."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, realizing that leaving Yun Mengyao alone in the Princess Mansion would bore her, but he couldn't help but remind them: "Remember, don't cause trouble."

"Go to your appointment." Yun Mengyao wasn't grateful at all.

Qin Yi shook his head helplessly and looked at Yun Susu, "This woman is from the countryside and has attention deficiency disorder, never idle with her hands, feet, or mouth. Keep an eye on her."

Yun Mengyao was furious, gritting her teeth.

Yun Susu nodded with a smile.

The three women dressed up, after all, they were going to meet the ruler of the nation, so their attire had to be appropriate. Then, they proceeded to the Royal Family.

Qin Yi wandered alone in the mansion, as the time for his appointment was yet to arrive.

The people of the Princess Mansion were very curious because Qin Yi appeared too suddenly, and no one knew where he came from. However, everyone saw him with the Third Princess, otherwise he would have been taken away for questioning long ago.

After wandering for a while, Qin Yi looked at the time and, seeing it was about right, left the Princess Mansion, asked for directions to Tianci Tavern, and leisurely walked towards it.
