Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1176: Dream Come True

Qin Yi looked into Yun Qinglian's eyes, but his mind was racing. He couldn't figure out what Yun Qinglian meant—did she really know something, or was she trying to trap him with words?

"I'm afraid I don't quite understand what the Eldest Princess is saying. Yun Baixuan, the Eldest Prince, what are you talking about?"

Yun Qinglian chuckled, "Mr. Qin, your acting is quite impressive."

Qin Yi still looked puzzled.

Facing Qin Yi's gaze, Yun Qinglian spoke slowly, "Didn't Yun Baixuan die at Mr. Qin's hand? Including the Empress and that Black Armor warrior. Aren't these all your handiwork?"

Qin Yi's eyes slightly narrowed, then he laughed, "I really don't know what you're talking about."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I'll tell you, Mr. Qin, just listen to see if I'm right."

Qin Yi looked at her with interest.

Yun Qinglian said, "Mr. Qin is helping the Fifth Sister to seize the throne, right? Yun Baixuan fell so quickly, wasn't it all thanks to Mr. Qin? No, to be precise, it's the work of you and Concubine Qiu. Previously, someone broke into the Royal Family by night, and two hundred strong men couldn't stop them. I guess that person was Mr. Qin, wasn't it?"

"You guess?" Qin Yi was startled inside, but his expression didn't show the slightest change, smiling, "You must think too highly of me."

"No, I have evidence."

"Oh? What evidence?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

"In the Second Prince Mansion, I have my people."

Qin Yi's eyes slightly narrowed, "So what?"

Yun Qinglian smiled, "Actually, the most important thing is that I've investigated you. Although this is the first time we've met, I dare say I understand you far better than the Fifth Sister, Yun Susu.

Mr. Qin's means and cunning are admirable. Besides, as far as I know, throughout the country, the concept of royal power supremacy is deeply rooted, yet only you don't have a trace of reverence for it. Yun Mengyao and Yun Susu were under house arrest by the father emperor. With your character, you would inevitably break into the Royal Family at night. So, I conclude that it must have been you that night.

After the Fifth Sister was under house arrest by the father emperor, you suddenly got very close to Yun Baixuan. Yet within a few days, he fell from the position of the lofty Second Prince to being an illegitimate child born from an affair between the Empress and the Black Armor warrior. This matter was hidden for over thirty years without ever being discovered, but once you appeared, this matter got exposed. Can it be a coincidence?

Mr. Qin, although I don't have solid evidence, with so many events happening since your arrival, if one were to think and organize carefully, it wouldn't be hard to find the flaws within. Do you still wish to hide?"

Qin Yi was inwardly amazed; such a wise woman truly was not simple, to suspect him so quickly.

"The Eldest Princess doesn't have solid evidence, yet based on mere speculation, you place such a burden on Mr. Qin's head. Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Actually, bringing down Yun Baixuan was done too hastily, leaving numerous details. If someone with determination takes their time to ponder, they'll surely find clues since perfect crimes don't exist; without committing any, there will be traces left behind.

What surprised Qin Yi the most was that this person turned out to be the Eldest Princess.

Moreover, once this matter reached the Emperor, he could leave at any time. But Qiu Tang, Yun Susu, and Jin Die would all be in trouble.

Should he kill this woman?

Yun Qinglian's eyes turned wary, "Mr. Qin, killing me is not the best solution. Because if I could think of it, the Eldest Prince surely can guess too."

Qin Yi was slightly startled; could this woman read minds? She even knew he had murderous intentions toward her.

"Rest assured, although Mr. Qin has killed countless people, he has never harmed the innocent. The Eldest Princess and I bear no animosity; such ruthless acts I cannot commit."

Yun Qinglian slowly said, "Mr. Qin thinks that by mentioning the Eldest Prince, I only meant to divert your attention?"

"Isn't it? Everyone knows the Eldest Prince is inept and worthless, like a wallowing mud unable to be propped up." Qin Yi said, noticing the mocking intent on Yun Qinglian's face, suddenly his eyes narrowed, "You mean, the Eldest Prince, like you, pretends to be mediocre to protect himself and mislead enemies."

"Like me? That's a mistake. I'm just a weak woman, consistent inside and out."

Qin Yi's eyes played along, suddenly laughing, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Of course, I am."

Qin Yi patted the spot beside him, "Come, sit."

Yun Qinglian hesitated, then charmingly smiled, slowly rising to sit beside Qin Yi, "Is Mr. Qin intending for someone to keep you company at night?"

"Would you be willing?"

"Mr. Qin is as handsome as a demon, none of my male consorts compare to you. To be with Mr. Qin would be something I'd eagerly seek."

Qin Yi mischievously smiled, "Since that's the case, I might as well fulfill your desire—serve me well, and I will spare your life."

Saying that, with lightning speed that left Yun Qinglian no time to react, he directly pressed her beneath him.

The two were pressed closely against each other, face to face, each could clearly feel the other's breath.

A trace of panic flashed through Yun Qinglian's eyes, but she quickly regained composure, coyly laughing, "Mr. Qin, don't be so hasty, at least let me freshen up, after all, I had several men with me just now."

"Yun Qinglian, quite something you are, willing to sacrifice your own reputation to escape. However, you don't seem to care much about fame. You mentioned several men were with you just to disgust me, but it's alright, I don't mind." Qin Yi said, his hands becoming restless.

A layer of goosebumps visibly appeared on Yun Qinglian's white skin, yet her expression remained calm, "Mr. Qin, being a paragon among men, since you don't disdain me, then there's no need for me to be pretentious."

Qin Yi slightly lowered his head, leaning toward Yun Qinglian's ear, teasing, "If I disdain the Eldest Princess's first time, then I'd be the one being pretentious."

Yun Qinglian's eyes widened suddenly, giving him a strong push, moving Qin Yi off her.

Actually, Qin Yi left on his own, otherwise Yun Qinglian wouldn't have been able to move him.

Qin Yi looked playfully at the rare panic in Yun Qinglian's eyes, "Wasn't the Eldest Princess going to serve me? What's this you're doing?"

Yun Qinglian glared at Qin Yi, exasperated, "You figured it out?"

"What?" Qin Yi feigned ignorance.

Yun Qinglian bit her red lip, a bit ashamed and angry, "Don't play dumb, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"Oh, so the Eldest Princess was talking about her own chastity." Qin Yi smiled wickedly, "Yes, I noticed right away. I was just curious. Rumor has it that the Eldest Princess has a taste for men, and I myself saw a few handsome men with you; yet you remain chaste. Is it that they can't do it? I guess the Third Princess is quite anxious too, so I am willing to help, transforming the Eldest Princess from a girl into a real woman."
