Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1103: The Real and Fake Princess

Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh, and her aura changed accordingly, as she said, "Since when did Second Brother become so soft-hearted? You and I share the royal bloodline. What is Song Qingfeng, to dare harm me? Not killing him is already showing mercy beyond the law from this princess."

Having said that, Qin Yi stood up, "I'm sorry for troubling you for so long, Second Brother. Susu will return to the mansion to rest now."

Yun Baixuan was stunned by Qin Yi's aura and only came to his senses when they both left the room, hastily taking a couple of quick steps to catch up, "Fifth Sister, are you really not staying at Second Brother's place for a meal?"

"Thank you, Second Brother, but Susu is a bit tired and will return to the mansion to rest first. Please, no need to see me off."

Seeing Qin Yi and Jin Die off, Yun Baixuan returned to the hall with a heavy heart. Just now, Yun Susu's imposing manner had surprised him greatly. His impression of Yun Susu was always one of gentle weakness. Although her cultivation level was not low, her personality wasn't strong.

But the Yun Susu just now was full of fierce energy. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"My Fifth Sister has changed quite a bit upon her return," Yun Baixuan sneered. "No matter how Yun Susu changes, she'll never stir up much of a wave because of her disfavored mother."

"Second Prince, did you notice anything?" Gao Tianhuan asked.

Upon hearing this, Yun Baixuan was immediately filled with anger, exclaiming, "No matter how I look, this Yun Susu seems genuine."

Gao Tianhuan and Li Changdi were shocked, "Could it be that the Yun Susu we brought back is fake? In that case, the problem must lie with Song Qingfeng. But why would he do such a thing?"

Yun Baixuan's eyes flickered, "It's very possible that when you reached Tianlin City, Qin Yi had already arrived. Song Qingfeng, afraid of death, handed you a fake. Of course, this is just my guess; there are many things I haven't figured out.

But now, we must first figure out who the real princess is. If she actually meets Father and rescues that deposed consort, I'll be in big trouble."

Gao Tianhuan said, "Second Prince, I will go to the holding place now and interrogate through the night."

The Second Prince nodded.

"Wait." Yun Baixuan suddenly stopped Gao Tianhuan, "Don't go yet. If the Susu who just left is fake, she will certainly guess that we will find ways to verify. She might be hiding in the dark now, tracking you, and then rescuing someone."

Gao Tianhuan nodded slightly; Yun Baixuan indeed had a meticulous mind.

"Second Prince, what should we do next?"

"Wait, I've already sent someone to follow them; let's wait for news first."

...

More than an hour later, the person Yun Baixuan sent to follow returned.

"How was it? Did they return to the Third Princess Mansion?"

The person responsible for tracking replied, "The Third Princess ate some snacks along the way, bought some pastries and such, and then returned to the mansion."

"Ate some snacks?" Yun Baixuan's eyes turned cold.

Li Changdi asked in confusion, "Second Prince, is there something wrong with that?"

Yun Baixuan sneered, "I invited her to dine with me just now, but she refused. Yet now she goes to eat street food, indicating that she is already wary of me. The earlier Yun Susu wouldn't dare to refuse me. My Fifth Sister has truly changed a lot."

"With such changes, could she be a fake princess?" Gao Tianhuan suggested.

Yun Baixuan shook his head, "This kind of change is normal. Since she left the Princess Mansion to go to the Tianyue Empire, she has already been changing. What's more, she even killed the Three Kings of the Tianyue Empire. It wouldn't make sense for her not to have become more fierce and changed a bit.

I'm starting to suspect that the Yun Susu you brought back is likely the fake one. How could someone who has gone through bloodshed and storms not change at all?"

Gao Tianhuan and Li Changdi nodded slightly; the Second Prince indeed had a sharp mind and was meticulous.

"What pastries did she buy?"

"Tianxiang Cake and Pear Blossom Cake."

Yun Baixuan said solemnly, "My Fifth Sister has always loved Tianxiang Cake since she was young, that's indeed true."

Gao Tianhuan commented, "Second Prince, since the Third Princess loves Tianxiang Cake, why did she also buy Pear Blossom Cake?"

"Pear Blossom Cake is what her maid, Jin Die, loves to eat. Jin Die, being older, has practically watched Yun Susu grow up. The two, on the surface, are master and servant, but in reality, they are as close as sisters. I previously tried to win Jin Die over, but she refused every time. My Fifth Sister is indeed capable of winning people's hearts."

Li Changdi questioned, "So, does this mean the Third Princess has no issues?"

"If she has no issues, then the one you brought back must have issues," Yun Baixuan said, looking at the person following them, "Is our man still watching the Third Princess Mansion?"

"Yes."

"Well done, continue to monitor closely. Make sure to keep a tight watch before dawn, with people watching the perimeter and from above. If Yun Susu leaves the Princess Mansion, report to me immediately."

"Yes."

Yun Baixuan said, "Go."

After the person tracking them left, he turned to Gao Tianhuan and Li Changdi, "You two can go now. Remember, no matter what method you use, make her talk. I must know who the real and fake Yun Susu is. If the one you brought back is fake, kill her right away."

"Yes, Second Prince!"

The two bowed and retreated, leaving the Second Prince Mansion quietly.

...

...

The nighttime lights of the Imperial City shone brightly, rivaling the nightlife of modern cities.

Gao Tianhuan and Li Changdi appeared at the entrance of Yunxiang House.

Yunxiang House was one of the largest brothels in the Imperial City.

They stepped inside, and the madam immediately came forward to greet them.

"Honored sirs, do you have a familiar girl in mind, or do you need me to introduce someone?"

"No one in particular, please help us with an introduction."

As Li Changdi spoke, he discreetly took out a gold token.

The madam's face changed drastically and she quickly said, "Please follow me, sirs, I'll arrange something right away."

The madam led them upstairs to the second floor, entering a room.

After closing the door, the madam immediately knelt on the ground, "Greetings, esteemed lords."

"Stand up, take us to see the Third Princess."

"Yes, please follow me."

The madam moved forward and turned a vase, and with a rumbling sound, a hidden door appeared on the wall.

This Yunxiang House was secretly supported by the Second Prince, and many officials of the royal family frequented it. These prostitutes were no less skilled at gathering information than trained spies, given that many loose-lipped individuals emerged when drinking.

Indeed, in this regard, Yun Susu was quite like Yun Baixuan. Being half-siblings, it's no wonder their ways were similar. In the Tianyue Empire, Yun Susu also secretly supported two brothels.

"Please be careful of your footing, sirs," the madam cautioned.

But this caution was mostly flattery; the stairs beneath were a stone staircase, spiraling downward directly underground. Yet these two were Body Integration Realm experts, as if they would fear tripping and falling to their deaths?
