Chapter 1038: Chapter 590: One Dragon, Two Tigers (Two-in-One)

Watching Yin Tingxue run into the pavilion with small steps, the female crown glared at her resentfully.

Lin Wanxiao should not have appeared at this moment. She planned to hold off on mentioning Lin Wanxiao, first whetting Chen Yi’s appetite to earn a "good sister" acknowledgment, and then taking the young widow to see him, recounting the arduous journey beneath the moonlit night, so he would feel guilty.

But Yin Tingxue’s sudden act disrupted everything, bringing the person halfway through without any benefit for herself despite all her efforts.

The credit went to Yin Tingxue!

Yin Weiyin was so angry she couldn’t manage a single pleasantry, wishing that when Chen Yi opened his banquet, he would crush her beneath him.

The Little Fox, who had just stepped into the pavilion, wanted to greet but her ears twitched, and she whispered: "Sorry, Sister Weiyang, I didn’t know..."

"You didn’t know what?" Yin Weiyin snorted coldly, "Hmph, you know nothing."

Yin Tingxue nodded in agreement with this. She had encountered Lin Wanxiao by chance on the road and hurriedly brought the person to see Chen Yi, divining while hastening the journey, with no time to ponder why the young lady appeared here...

But thinking in detail wouldn’t necessarily help. A widow from home suddenly appearing on Dragon and Tiger Mountain had no apparent connection with anything, and who could have thought it was Yin Weiyin’s doing? So, it was understandable that she didn’t know.

Yin Weiyin thought differently. To her, this Second Wife Little Fox was just here to make trouble, intentionally or unintentionally, she ended up at a significant loss, not getting any advantage and having to endure a storm afterward.

Though... there was a slight sense of nostalgia, yet the deep emotions and a slight retribution were entirely different; the more Yin Weiyin thought about it, the angrier she became.

"What’s the use of only claiming ignorance? I exhausted myself for his sake, and now it’s alright, everything became your wedding dress. Tell me, what should be done about this?"

These words were unpleasant to hear, but knowing she was at wrong, Yin Tingxue nodded reluctantly and softly said: "I’ll advise him, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll help share some of the burden."

"Share the burden? I see you’re enjoying it," Yin Weiyin said coldly.

Yin Tingxue was naturally an obedient person, having never been unreasonable or willful from childhood, nor knowing how to argue. She nodded quietly even if these words were harsh.

Seeing her at a loss for words, Yin Weiyin pressed further: "Since that’s the case, you need to help me well, follow my instructions. Speaking of your girlfriend’s position..."

At this, the Little Fox quickly said: "I can’t let it go, Sister Weiyang, you can’t be unreasonable."

"You brought the person over, how does that make any sense to me?"

Yin Weiyin was quite displeased, having suffered such a significant loss due to the Little Fox, who wouldn’t even relinquish a mere girlfriend position.

She wanted to take this chance to admonish her, hoping the Little Fox would step aside and settle as a second wife in the future.

However, a familiar figure emerged from a distance, and as the words reached her lips, Yin Weiyin quickly withdrew them and said:

"Tingxue, did I... speak too harshly?"

The Little Fox’s ears twitched, and she glimpsed Chen Yi arriving.

The female crown suddenly remembered she had the Heavenly Ear Technique, instantly feeling uneasy. She had been treading on thin ice all along, and if Chen Yi found out she had been harsh to Yin Tingxue, it would be disastrous.

She hastily said: "Just a moment ago... I spoke hastily; in hindsight, it wasn’t right. Let’s not mention this to him, and I won’t hold it against you."

Yin Tingxue pondered for a while; Sister Weiyang’s words before had been harsh, but now her tone softened somewhat. The change was exasperating, yet the Little Fox, always susceptible, despite her displeasure, shook her head and let it go.

Yin Weiyin sighed in relief, glancing aside to see Chen Yi returning to the pavilion. He ruffled the Little Fox’s hair and laughed: "Are you the only one who knows how to handle things? Hmm?"

He was referring to the matter with Lin Wanxiao, who consistently hesitated despite understanding her feelings, and so the Little Fox had silently played the bad guy.

"I’m not handling things; I’m just helping her a bit," Yin Tingxue said.

Chen Yi chuckled, shaking his head, then turned to meet Yin Weiyin’s gaze and sat beside her, patting her shoulder, causing the female crown to freeze.

"Hus... husband..." Yin Weiyin’s voice was trembling and low.

Chen Yi glanced at her; whenever she found herself disadvantaged, she would call out "husband" a few times, trying to soften hearts, which was quite similar for both the Twin Yin Lords, not knowing who had learned from whom. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Yin Weiyin felt uneasy, afraid that the more she argued, the worse it would get. She had never won Chen Yi’s favor in these matters and couldn’t turn black into white. The female crown long realized her pillow talk was far less effective than Yin Tingxue’s.

The Little Fox’s ears perked up, contemplating, and seized the moment before Chen Yi could lay blame: "It was Sister Weiyang who brought the person over; otherwise, I couldn’t have helped even if I wanted to."

Chen Yi turned his face, slightly frowning. He had accumulated plenty of grievances over the past days and was on the verge of venting, wanting to give Yin Weiyin a hard time, but the Little Fox was speaking up for her sister.

"Are you pleading for her?" Chen Yi sneered.

Yin Tingxue held his hand to her face, saying matter-of-factly: "Didn’t you say I know how to handle things? Besides... haven’t you been thinking about Sister Weiyang quite a bit along the way?"

Chen Yi’s expression slightly softened, and Xiao Yin quickly signaled to Da Yin.

Yin Weiyin watched this unfold, realizing that Tingxue always managed to please him, obedient and pitiable. Seeing the signal, the female crown suddenly had an epiphany.
