Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1120: Left My Brain at Home

The woman tossed the token to Qin Yi and casually asked, "What did the Second Prince send you to do by sneaking into the Royal Family at night?"

"I am not sent by the Second Prince."

The woman frowned, "Aren't you the Second Prince's person?"

"Yes! But not sent by the Second Prince, I came by myself. I have always been curious about the Royal Family and came in out of boredom to take a look."

The woman's eyes darkened, "You have quite the interest, never heard of anyone coming to the Royal Family out of boredom for a casual stroll."

"Heh, I'm just that bored. Beauty, let's chat next time, it's late, I'll leave first, it would be troublesome if discovered. I'm fine, but it wouldn't be good for your reputation."

Qin Yi laughed awkwardly, heading towards the door, the key is the sky should light up in an hour, he must quickly find Yun Susu and others.

The woman did not stop him.

Qin Yi gave an innocent smile as he walked towards her.

The woman just looked at him indifferently.

But suddenly, Qin Yi moved like a specter towards the other, lashing out with lightning speed.

However, this surprise attack failed. The woman seemed to anticipate his move, dodging a split second before he struck.

Qin Yi's expression changed slightly; this woman is really cunning.

"If you move again, I will call for help immediately."

Qin Yi could only stop, this opponent is not weak, missing once means no chance for another surprise attack.

"Ha ha..." Qin Yi smiled innocently, scratched his head, and said, "Your cultivation is really good, I just wanted to test it, this time I'm really leaving."

"I told you, if you move I will call for help."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Beauty, I really just wanted to test your cultivation, meeting an expert makes my hands itch, this is called mutual appreciation."

The woman's face showed no hint of a smile, "Who exactly are you?"

Qin Yi knew his previous failed move, trying to fool her was no longer possible. Or rather, this woman never believed him from the start.

"Beauty, don't push me, although there are many strong people in the Royal Family, if I want to leave, no one can stop me. I can completely subdue you then leave the Royal Family successfully. So, I advise you to pretend I never came."

The woman indifferently said, "How do you know I'm not the Second Prince's mother?"

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, "Will you let me go if I explain?"

"I'll consider it."

"Alright!" Qin Yi shrugged, "Hope you'll keep your word, my temper isn't good, and I hate being lied to. It's very simple, if you were the current Empress, how could you live here?

Though the interior of this hall is spotless, the outside courtyard is overgrown, and there's surveillance by strong people all around, indicating you're confined here and cannot leave, and cannot step out of this hall.

If you were the current Empress, how could you encounter such treatment?"

After Qin Yi finished speaking, he suddenly froze, looked at the woman sharply, his eyes shining.

This woman exudes such a strong aura, she must be highly dignified, only someone in a high position for long could develop such presence. Yet she is restricted, confined within this hall. Qin Yi suddenly thought of someone.

Most importantly, when he arrived, he clearly felt Yun Susu's aura, but it's not her upon arrival here.

Qin Yi suddenly smiled bitterly, clapped his forehead, realizing he was really dumb. Why hadn't he figured out such a simple thing sooner?

The woman looked strangely at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi laughed, "Sorry, I just realized some things, forgive me for having drunk too much tonight, leaving my brain at home when I came."

"Oh? What did you figure out?" the woman asked.

Qin Yi slightly lifted his lips, "You're the mother of the Third Princess Yun Susu, right?"

The woman's eyes slightly tightened, "Again guessing?"

"No, this time it's almost certain, because you two are mother and daughter, your aura is very similar, so I mistook you for her."

The woman stared at Qin Yi, "Are you Qin Yi?"

"You know me?" Qin Yi was surprised.

The woman's eyes were full of curiosity and surprise, sizing up Qin Yi, asking, "Are you indeed Qin Yi?"

"Absolutely genuine."

"How do you prove it?"

Qin Yi was taken aback, "I am Qin Yi, how do I prove it? Moreover, even if I prove it, you wouldn't know whether I'm speaking the truth or not?"

"You can try saying."

"Say what?" Qin Yi was puzzled.

"You and Susu met, thanked with a poem, only you, Susu, and Jin Die know."

Qin Yi laughed, "You're talking about that poem themed with peonies, right? This is easy, in the courtyard, the peonies lack spirit, in the pond, the lotuses lack depth, only the peony truly is of royal beauty, blooming affecting the Imperial City."

The woman's eyes immediately softened.

"Now you believe?"

"Let's say I believe you temporarily."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Beauty, apart from me, Yun Susu, and Jin Die, not even Yun Mengyao knows this poem, is this not enough proof?"

The woman lightly laughed, "Are you sure there's no fourth person who knows?"

"Absolutely not."

"What about me?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"Damn, Yun Susu really tells you everything. Wait, aren't you imprisoned? Yun Susu just entered the Royal Family yesterday, has no time to meet you, she couldn't have told you, how do you know?"

"No need for you to know this," the woman laughed lightly.

Qin Yi pouted, but knew the woman before him was no simple one.

"Come, have a seat!" the woman walked over and sat at the table.

Qin Yi walked over and sat down, saying, "Quickly tell me where the Third Princess is? It'll be daylight soon, and once it's light I can't leave."

"Why are you looking for Susu?"

"Of course to rescue her."

Yun Susu's mother stared at Qin Yi, "For Susu, you dared to sneak into the Royal Family at night. Do you know, if discovered, it would be an unforgivable capital crime here."

"That's your Royal Family's rule, not mine, Qin Yi's. To you, royal authority is paramount, to me, it's nothing. Want to kill me, unless truly capable, using royal authority to talk only makes me laugh."

Yun Susu's mother's face changed dramatically, she had never seen anyone bold enough to disregard royal authority.

"Indeed, like Susu said, you're extremely daring."

"Not daring, just annoyed by your so-called royal authority. Quickly tell me the whereabouts of the Third Princess, I'll find a way to rescue her."

"Don't be foolish, taking three people out of the Royal Family is impossible. Moreover, even if you all escape by luck, the entire Yunyue Empire will have no place for you."

Qin Yi looked at her with some disdain, "Who said I would take all three out of the Royal Family? Do I seem like someone that brainless?"

"Didn't you leave your brain at home?"

Qin Yi: "..."

This woman is just... unbelievable.

"Rest assured! Susu and others are safe now, having cut down the Three Kings of the Tianyue Empire, such credit will even if angering the Emperor, not result in losing heads."
