Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1139: Rushing Back and Forth

"Is this bird also called Qiu Tang?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

Qiu Tang rolled her eyes, "What, can't it be?"

"Sure, you could call it Susu too."

Qiu Tang: "..."

"Let's talk business. Since Long Hai was exposed, how did you subdue him? Did you use your Soul Devouring Pearl?" Qiu Tang asked curiously.

Qin Yi looked at her disdainfully, then shook the secret letter in his hand.

Qiu Tang realized that these secret letters were evidence of Long Hai's collusion with the Second Prince, any one of them could land them in deep trouble. Qin Yi had Long Hai's weakness, so it was no wonder he'd obey.

"You bring out the other letters, and I'll add the secret mark."

Qin Yi nodded and handed the letters to her.

Qiu Tang quickly added a secret mark to the bottom right corner of each letter, then sealed them again before handing them to Qin Yi.

"Qin Yi, thank you for your hard work!" Haitang suddenly said.

Qin Yi paused, speechless, "It's okay! I just hope to rescue my friend soon and get the map."

Qiu Tang smiled, this two-faced man. With Qin Yi's cultivation, if he wanted to rescue Yun Mengyao, he could just take her and leave the Royal Family unnoticed. As for the map, he could easily cooperate with the Eldest Prince, Second Prince, and Eldest Princess, which would be easier than working with them.

"Don't look at me with that expression, I might misunderstand." Qin Yi felt embarrassed being stared at.

"Misunderstand what?"

"Misunderstand that you might like me? Only someone who likes another would look at someone with such tender eyes."

Qiu Tang's face turned black, glaring at Qin Yi, where in her eyes was tenderness?

"I am Susu's mother."

Qin Yi shrugged, "What does that have to do with me? I'm so handsome, women who like me range from eight to eighty. Of course, don't love me, there's no future. Because this young master's heart belongs only to my wife."

"Would you die if you didn't talk nonsense?" Qiu Tang said irritably.

Qin Yi laughed, "I'm very serious. After all, it's normal for an excellent man like me to attract women."

"I've never seen anyone thicker-skinned than you, by age, I'm probably as old as your mother."

Qin Yi smirked, "So, don't develop feelings for me, I don't like older women."

Qiu Tang's pretty face contained wrath, almost angering her into a gastric hemorrhage; older women? Is she very old?

It seems no matter what age, women care a lot about their age.

"If someone else talked to me like this, their head would've been chopped off long ago."

Qin Yi said with a cheeky smile, "I know, but you don't have that ability, I feel bad for you."

Qiu Tang: "..."

She understood, Qin Yi was not only thick-skinned but also exceptionally shameless.

"He's here." Qin Yi suddenly said.

Qiu Tang was slightly stunned, just about to ask who? When she heard Li Tianyang requesting to see them outside.

"Come in!"

Li Tianyang pushed the door open and entered, freezing upon seeing Qin Yi. He hated Qin Yi, yet feared him to death.

Wasn't this guy supposed to be taming those war generals? How did he get here? He always thought the Royal Family's guards were so strict not even a bird could fly in. Yet Qin Yi entered the Royal Family like it was his own house.

"Sir Qin." Though he didn't want to see Qin Yi, he greeted him with a smiling face.

Qin Yi slightly nodded.

Qiu Tang said, "Li Tianyang, did you use the secret letter I gave you?"

Li Tianyang's face changed slightly, kneeling on one knee, "Please forgive me, Empress. The Emperor ordered me out on errands today, I haven't had the chance yet."

"Great!" Qiu Tang exclaimed.

Li Tianyang was utterly bewildered.

Qiu Tang explained the secret marks on the letters.

Li Tianyang's face drastically changed, realizing Yun Baixuan's cunning almost caused them all to fall into a trap.

"Luckily, you didn't manage to do it today. If those letters had been seen by the ministers, we'd be done for." Qiu Tang said with lingering fear.

Li Tianyang nodded slightly. It seemed Qin Yi returned because he discovered the secret marks on the letters.

"You mark the secret marks, and I'll leave first. Proceed with caution. These Royal Family offspring, each one is more treacherous than the other, they're like Poison Snakes; one careless mistake and it's eternal damnation." Qin Yi said.

Li Tianyang cursed inwardly, could anyone be more treacherous than you? Didn't you discover the secret marks?

Qiu Tang couldn't help but argue, "Susu isn't like that."

"Right, that's why she's now under house arrest."

Qiu Tang: "..."

"You better leave quickly!"

She really didn't want to chat with Qin Yi; he was terrible at conversations.

Qin Yi shrugged, flashed a mischievous smile, and with a swift move, darted through the collapsed ceiling into the night.

Leaving the Royal Family, Qin Yi returned directly to Yun Susu's residence, ordered food and drinks, ate to his heart's content, and began breathing control cultivation.

He's not made of iron, running back and forth was tiring enough.

Until the next morning, the maid came to call Qin Yi for breakfast, called a few times with no response, opened the door to find Qin Yi had long disappeared.

...

...

Late at night, the silver moon was full, and the sky was filled with stars.

Long Hai returned to his bedroom, burdened with worry that the secret letters of his collusion with the Second Prince had all been taken by Qin Yi. Any one of these letters handed to the Emperor would be a crime punishable by execution of nine generations.

Qin Yi, that treacherous scoundrel.

Long Hai cursed inwardly, opening the door.

Unexpectedly, he saw someone sitting at his desk, startling him.

However, in the next moment, when he saw clearly it was Qin Yi, his face turned black on the spot.

This guy dared to show up again?

"War General Long, we meet again."

Long Hai said with a black face, "I don't want to see you."

"Don't be like that! From now on, we're brothers in the same trench, no need to be so distant. You see, I don't act distant at all, completely treating your home as my own." Qin Yi said with a smile.

Long Hai's lungs were almost bursting with rage, "I am not as thick-skinned as you."

"Wrong, you don't have my cultivation level, otherwise you could totally treat my home as yours."

Long Hai: "..."

This shameless fellow, did he come back just to mock him?

Qin Yi's mouth curled into a smile, he loved seeing the other person hating him but unable to do anything about it.

"Return the secret letters to me." Long Hai said.

Qin Yi looked surprised, "What secret letters?"

"Stop playing dumb, who else would have taken the secret letters I hid in the hidden compartment?"

"What hidden compartment?" Qin Yi looked very interested, "Where is it? Open it and let me see, did you hide Erotic Paintings in there? Take them out to enjoy; good stuff should be shared."

Long Hai was so angry he ground his teeth, looking like he was about to turn into a Tibetan Mastiff and pounce on Qin Yi to bite him. He knew in his heart those secret letters were his lifeline; Qin Yi surely understood this too, how could he willingly give them back?
