Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1077: Lending a Hand

Yun Susu looked at those young people indifferently and said, "It must be them who instigated Li Feng to hunt in the street, riding horses and injuring people. Li Shuangcheng, kill all these vile lackeys."

Can't touch you and your father, Li Shuangcheng? Surely, I can deal with these malicious youths?

Furthermore, Li Shuangcheng himself just said that these people spend all day goofing around, saying nothing good about them, showing his disdain.

The few young men who followed Li Feng were frightened on the spot.

Li Shuangcheng glanced at them and then bowed with clasped fists toward Yun Susu, respectfully saying, "Princess, although these people are detestable, they are all sons of the city's officials and nobles. Their families donate money and grain, allowing the soldiers to be well-fed and stocked, so they can kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Princess, if we kill these people, their families will definitely not assist us in the future. With the warriors lacking clothing and food, it will be tough to fight this battle. The relationship between us and the Tianyue Empire is growing tense, especially as the Third Princess is courageous, having slain the three kings of the Tianyue Empire. Sooner or later, our two countries will go to war.

I know these people are hateful, and if the Princess insists on killing them, I'll take care of it immediately."

Yun Susu's pretty face turned blue with anger. Li Shuangcheng, this old fox, truly knows how to calculate. If she insists on killing these evil youths, she will have to bear the responsibility for a future defeat. Even as a princess, she cannot afford to take the blame for losing a war.

"Still think being Princess Yun Susu is impressive?" Qin Yi couldn't help but smile faintly.

Yun Mengyao shook her head, "Being hindered at every turn, being a princess is truly frustrating."

"Yun Susu is, after all, too young and lacks experience in handling things. Encountering an old fox like Li Shuangcheng and being suppressed everywhere, it's inevitable she will suffer losses."

Yun Mengyao nodded slightly, "Qin Yi, what would you do if you were in her place?"

Before Qin Yi could speak, Yun Mengyao said to herself, "Forget I asked. With your character, you would have killed those people before Li Shuangcheng even arrived."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Could you show a little more imagination? Don't use your stiff mind to think of me, okay?"

"Wouldn't you have killed them?" Yun Mengyao asked curiously.

Qin Yi replied indifferently, "Of course not. If I were Yun Susu, as a princess, already in a weakened position, under no circumstances would I offend a War General. It is important to remember that the entire Yunyue Empire has only twelve War Generals, each holding great power. There's not enough time to win them over, why offend them?"

Yun Mengyao looked at him with disdain, "Then aren't you just like them, a conniving group."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Yun Mengyao, unless you've experienced another's hardships, don't persuade them to act righteously. As a princess, Yun Susu must find a support to survive in a place as full of intrigues as the Royal Family, or someday she won't even know how she died."

"Is it still possible for Yun Susu to win them over now?"

Qin Yi shook his head.

"But the Third Princess hasn't killed Li Feng."

Qin Yi laughed and said, "From Li Shuangcheng's attitude towards the Third Princess, it's clear that he has already aligned himself with another faction, possibly a prince or princess, otherwise, he wouldn't dare make things difficult for the Third Princess publicly. No matter how destitute Yun Susu is, a War General like him would not dare to offend her."

Yun Mengyao nodded slightly, "I suppose you're clever."

Qin Yi: "..."

What do you mean "suppose he's clever"? This woman, is it so hard to admit someone else's excellence?

Seeing Yun Susu's downtrodden face, Yun Mengyao felt a pang of compassion, "Qin Yi, can you help her?"

"I can't, I only help my own friends." Qin Yi refused flatly.

"You... How can a grown man be so petty? I don't even blame her anymore, why are you still holding a grudge? Yun Susu, being the Third Princess, has been showing goodwill along the way, can't you forgive her? Besides, she has her own hardships; filial piety is the foremost of virtues, and someone who is filial cannot be a bad person."

"There are countless ways to handle issues, yet she used the most foolish one. Regardless of her reasons, she stepped over my line. Hence, we cannot be friends." Qin Yi said currently.

Yun Mengyao angrily replied, "But I'm friends with her, can't you help her for my sake?"

Qin Yi glanced at her with contempt, "Yun Mengyao, a big face doesn't mean a big favor."

Yun Mengyao's face darkened instantly, "You're the one with a big face, you're just a big-faced cat."

Qin Yi smirked, "I still won't help her."

"Qin Yi, don't you understand how to cherish the fairer sex? That Li Feng just tried to get me to accompany him, how disgusting, I must kill him."

Qin Yi laughed, "What's it got to do with me? You, Yun Susu, neither are my women. Who you accompany doesn't concern me."

Yun Mengyao glared at him resentfully, "Die, you. You can say Yun Susu isn't your friend, but would you dare say we aren't friends? Can't you help as a favor to me?"

"Yun Mengyao, you're morally blackmailing me."

"I am blackmailing you, what's it to you? Just answer me, will you help or not? If not, we'll part ways now, and never see each other again."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Are you truly dumb or pretending? Isn't this threat of yours too laughable?"

"I'm just being ridiculous, are you helping or not?"

Qin Yi, helplessly, "Alright, I'll help. But let it be clear, I'm helping you, not her."

"Got it, small-minded."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Come closer."

Yun Mengyao leaned in, and Qin Yi whispered a few words in her ear.

"Wow, you're really sneaky."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Can you still speak properly, woman? If it's sneaky, just don't use my idea."

"Now that I know it, it's my idea." Yun Mengyao proudly raised her head, stepped forward to Yun Susu, and loudly declared, "Third Princess, as War General Li mentioned, these wicked youngsters are from wealthy families. To win battles, what's wrong with riding horses in the street? Crushing a few commoners, what does that count for?

This Bolan City is the territory of War General Li, where military orders are not received. As a mere woman, the Third Princess's desire to stand up for the people is compassionate yet powerless, better to give up. We can't defeat War General Li."

Upon finishing, Yun Mengyao went over and personally lifted those wicked youths, though she said she was helping, but it was almost by brute force. She loudly said, "Gentlemen, our apologies, the Princess has led us to the Tianyue Empire, consecutively slaying the Wind King, Fire King, and Thunder King, resulting in a heavier murderous aura, don't take it to heart.

The woman and girl earlier were saved by us. Even if you hadn't trampled them, even if you did, it's not your fault, it's because they were blind, they deserved it. Don't worry, with War General Li's protection, who would dare touch you in Bolan City? The Princess? Even the Emperor wouldn't dare.

Gentlemen, from now on Bolan City is your hunting ground, gallop as you please. If you trample someone, just inform War General Li directly."
