Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1161 - 1166: The Arrow Is Already Loosed

Qin Yi finished speaking and took off running.

Sure enough, Yun Mengyao was stunned for three seconds before finally understanding.

"Darn you, Qin Yi! What do you mean? Don't run."

Saying this, she directly chased after Qin Yi.

Qin Yi ran around the table with a mischievous grin.

Yun Mengyao said through clenched teeth, "Stop right there, let me punch you a few times, then apologize to me, and we'll call it even. Otherwise, I won't let you go."

Qin Yi laughed, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Then just wait until I catch you; I'll bite you to death."

"Bite me to death? Are you a dog?"

Yun Mengyao grinded her pearly white teeth and chased Qin Yi around the table.

But how could she possibly catch Qin Yi?

"Stop!"

"A man of honor never stops when told. If you've got the skills, catch me."

Yun Mengyao had no intention of giving up until she caught Qin Yi.

Seeing this, Qin Yi hurriedly said, "How about I apologize without getting hit?"

Yun Mengyao stopped and put her hands on her hips, "Apologize first."

"Alright then, I was wrong! I shouldn't have told the truth."

Yun Mengyao hadn't reacted yet when Yun Susu let out a giggle.

Yun Mengyao's pretty face immediately darkened, "Qin Yi, I swear I won't let you go today until I've bitten you to death."

The two of them started chasing each other again.

In the end, Yun Mengyao was out of breath but didn't even touch the hem of Qin Yi's clothes.

"Forget it, I won't hold this against you since I'm the bigger person." Yun Mengyao sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, took a couple of sips, and said, "We'll call a truce for today, but don't think I'll let you off."

Qin Yi grinned mischievously and shrugged, "Anytime, I love playing chase."

Yun Mengyao bit her teeth so hard they made a grinding sound.

Qin Yi sat across from Yun Mengyao and poured himself a cup of tea as well.

Yun Susu also came over to sit down and said, "Mr. Qin, the royal family is heavily guarded, you must be careful."

"Don't worry! I've snuck into the Royal Family quite a few times." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Hmm?" Yun Mengyao glared at Qin Yi, "You've been in here several times and only now found us? You're so dumb!"

"The first few times I came in weren't to find you guys, but to find other beauties."

Yun Mengyao's eyes widened with disdain, "You weren't looking for the old matrons of the Royal Family, were you? Ew... Qin Yi, you're disgusting."

Qin Yi: "..."

Then he looked at Yun Susu and said, "The first two times I came in were to find your mother."

Yun Susu was taken aback.

Yun Mengyao frowned and murmured, "Could it be... you have a crush on the Third Princess's mother?"

Qin Yi almost spit out his tea and gave her a glare.

Yun Susu also looked at her with displeasure.

Yun Mengyao chuckled awkwardly, "I'm just curious. Otherwise, why would this guy be looking for your mother?"

Yun Susu also looked at Qin Yi curiously, her eyes asking for an explanation.

Qin Yi laughed and said, "The first time I came in, I intended to save you, but the aura of the Third Princess and Lady Qiu was so similar that I got the wrong person."

"So that's what happened. Mr. Qin, how's my mother?" Although someone had sent messages, they hadn't met for a long time.

Qin Yi replied, "She's doing well, eating well, sleeping well, looking radiant. She even has time for a bit of scheming now and then."

Yun Susu: "..."

"The Second Prince being placed under house arrest was the work of your mother and me."

Yun Susu was stunned but quickly understood, "So, the person who attempted to assassinate my mother that night was you. You and my mother set up the whole incident to frame the Second Prince?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Yun Mengyao grumbled, "Why go through all that trouble? Just charge into the Second Prince Mansion and finish him off, problem solved."

"Impossible. If you killed the Second Prince, you and Mr. Qin would be on the run from the entire Empire."

"So what? It's not like I've never been on the run before, we can just escape," Yun Mengyao said dismissively.

Qin Yi looked at her speechlessly and couldn't help but comment, "Really brainless."

Yun Mengyao looked up angrily at Qin Yi, but then quickly laughed.

Qin Yi: "..."

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Nope, I'll just take that as a compliment. I'm responsible for looking beautiful and having a great figure. You handle the scheming and brain work. That's what makes us a perfect team. I'm taking it as a compliment."

Qin Yi: "..."

Damn, this woman's face is getting thicker and thicker.

Qin Yi ignored her and turned to Yun Susu, "Third Princess, let me ask you, do you want to become the Emperor?"

"What?" Yun Susu was shocked, her face turned pale.

Yun Mengyao was full of excitement, "Yes! The Third Princess can become the Emperor. Then we can come and go as we please, and get the map, killing two birds with one stone."

Yun Susu snapped back to reality, shaking her hands, "No, I can't. I just want to save my mother; I never thought about this."

Qin Yi laughed, "It's not too late to start thinking now. Let me tell you, your mother and I have already begun laying plans. To be precise, your mother had already planned for this, to push you to the throne."

"Mother?" Yun Susu was completely bewildered, her mind buzzing and full of chaos. She murmured, "This won't work. We have no power, no influence. We can't compete with others. I've never wanted to be Emperor, I just want my mother to be healthy and safe."

Qin Yi spoke calmly: "Third Princess, you're a smart person, and you should know. If anyone else ascends to the throne, you and your mother will be doomed. To save yourself and your mother, you must become Emperor."

Yun Susu was dumbfounded.

"Your mother and I have already started planning, and I've won some support for you. Your mother has also begun taking action. Now our greatest advantage is that we're in the dark, while our enemies are in the light. Everything we do will be unknown to our enemies. By then, we can catch them off guard and ascend to the throne."

Yun Mengyao looked at the dazed Yun Susu, "Third Princess, why don't you want to be Emperor? It would be so much fun to be Emperor. Let me tell you, you don't have to worry about anything. Although Qin Yi is ruthless and unscrupulous, whenever he decides to do something, he always succeeds."

Qin Yi: "..."

Good grief, why does it sound so harsh when this woman says it?

Qin Yi looked at Yun Susu, "Third Princess, you don't have to do anything, just think about how to be a good Emperor in the future. Leave the rest to your mother and me. Now that the arrow is loosed, there's no turning back.

For yourself, for your mother, for the people of the Yunyue Empire, you must rise to become Emperor. I believe in you."

Yun Susu looked at Qin Yi, her eyes full of helplessness, "Can I really do it?"

"Of course, I wouldn't misjudge. If you couldn't do it, why would I want you to be Emperor?" Qin Yi laughed.
