Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1254: The Hardest Part Is Farewell

Unexpectedly, Yun Susu showed a faint smile, "Thank you, elder sister!"

Yun Qinglian suddenly gripped the sword hilt tightly, her knuckles turning white, the tip of the sword trembling, just two centimeters from Yun Susu's throat, yet she couldn't stab down.

"You've won, I am not as good as you, I will leave." Yun Qinglian said angrily, then sheathed her sword and turned to leave, "I'm telling you all, from now on, the Royal Family has no Eldest Princess. Don't provoke me again, or next time I won't be so courteous."

"Yun Susu, remember this clearly, if you don't treat the people of the Yunyue Empire well, I will kill you just the same."

After Yun Qinglian spoke, she jumped onto the carriage, out of sight, out of mind.

Yun Susu's mouth curled into a faint smile, nodding heavily, "Don't worry, elder sister, I will certainly treat the people well."

A cold snort came from inside the carriage.

Qin Yi watched the carriage, a slight smile on his lips. Then he turned and walked toward the carriage as well.

Qiu Tang, Yun Susu, Yun Fu, and others were all stunned, blankly staring at Qin Yi.

"Qiu Tang, I give you ten years, in ten years I will come back for you, to verify my words, to see if you can stop me after ten years of hard work."

Qin Yi jumped onto the carriage, it turned around, swaying as it drove off into the distance.

Qiu Tang's gaze was complicated, she thought she was doomed, yet didn't expect Qin Yi to spare her. Qin Yi not killing her must have been influenced by Yun Qinglian. The person she wanted to kill ended up saving her instead.

"Take care, elder sister."

"Qin Yi, thank you, take care!"

Yun Susu shouted toward the distant carriage, tears already streaming down her face. She knew, from this farewell, they might never meet again.

Qiu Tang sighed slightly, "Susu, don't cry, don't forget the ten-year promise."

Yun Susu wiped her tears, firmly saying, "In ten years, I will show him a different Yunyue Empire."

...

...

"Why didn't you kill her?"

Qin Yi sat outside, asking calmly.

Yun Qinglian lifted the curtain, poking her head out, frowning, "Why bring up the thing I don't want mentioned? Why didn't you kill?"

"Don't forget, I have a ten-year promise."

Yun Qinglian sneered, "Stop fooling yourself, you've already lost the will to kill, in ten years you won't be able to do it even if you want to."

Qin Yi's lips curled slightly, "This is the first time I've spared someone who hurt me, I don't know if it's right or wrong?"

"Who cares if it's right or wrong, it's not like you can't kill, you just don't want to."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "You have a point."

"Where are we going?"

"To pick up Yun Mengyao."

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Third Princess's mansion.

Qin Yi had stayed at this place for quite some time.

Qin Yi jumped down from the carriage, ready to go in to find Yun Mengyao.

"Qin Yi?"

Qin Yi turned around, looking at Yun Qinglian, "What's the matter?"

Yun Qinglian's gaze held a trace of reluctance, smiling, "Are we saying goodbye now?"

Qin Yi paused, also feeling reluctant, but it was indeed time to part, "Goodbye, take care!"

"You're really heartless, aren't you? We're parting, and you can't even feel a bit of regret?"

Qin Yi smiled, "I'm almost tired of you, I'm too happy to part."

Yun Qinglian pursed her lips, "You say one thing but mean another, come on, give me a hug."

"Mm?" Qin Yi was slightly startled.

"What are you thinking? It's a farewell, a friendly hug, don't overthink it." Yun Qinglian said, stepping forward to give Qin Yi a big hug.

After a long while, the two separated.

Yun Qinglian turned around carefreely, heading toward the carriage, "I must take Elder Bai back to Ling Yue Academy. Qin Yi, the road of the world is long, I hope we will meet again, take care."

"Take care!"

Yun Qinglian jumped onto the carriage, turned it around, and headed into the distance.

Qin Yi didn't see that Yun Qinglian was already in tears.

Qin Yi sighed slightly, parting is the hardest, he truly disliked such things.

Watching the carriage leave his sight, Qin Yi then turned to enter the mansion.

The Third Princess's mansion was quiet, Yun Susu had already become the Emperor, so the place had long been unguarded.

"Ah!" A cry of pain came, making Qin Yi tense up, it was Yun Mengyao's voice.

In the kitchen, Yun Mengyao held a plate in one hand and a spatula in the other, her face covered in all sorts of mess, the dish in the pot emitting black smoke, a burnt smell spreading.

Yun Mengyao dropped the spatula, using her hand to pinch her earlobe, having gotten burned while serving the dish earlier.

After a while, Yun Mengyao realized the dish in the pot was about to catch fire, she couldn't help but look distressed, muttering, "Damn Qin Yi, are you trying to starve this lady? Doesn't he know this lady can't cook? Susu is really something too, couldn't she assign me a couple of servants?"

"Can't you just go out to eat?"

The sudden voice startled Yun Mengyao, making her drop the plate, which shattered to pieces on the ground.

She quickly turned around to see Qin Yi leaning against the kitchen door, watching her with amused delight. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Yun Mengyao's eyes lit up with joy, her expression excited. But soon her face turned stern, "You actually came to find me? I thought you were outside having so much fun you forgot about home?"

Qin Yi laughed, "Isn't a reunion after a long time supposed to be joyous? Is this how you treat someone who just risked their life to come save you?"

"Save me? Why save me?" Yun Mengyao looked completely puzzled.

Qin Yi was slightly taken aback, realizing, "Weren't you imprisoned here by Qiu Tang?"

Yun Mengyao paused, then looked utterly disdainful, "Did you get your head caught in a door? Do I look like I'm imprisoned?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"Indeed not.

When you're concerned, logic goes out the window. There wasn't even a guard here, Yun Mengyao was bouncing around, nowhere near imprisoned.

Qin Yi shook his head with a bitter smile, this Qiu Tang, once again she outsmarted him.

Yun Mengyao thought Qin Yi was shaking his head to laugh at her, and resentfully said, "Stop standing there talking without feeling any backache, if you have the ability, you come and cook."

"Cook what?" Qin Yi didn't get it.

"Cook a meal."

Qin Yi was slightly startled, bitterly smiling, "Let's forget it! I'm even worse than you."

"Ha... good to know you're dimwitted." Yun Mengyao rubbed her stomach, "Let's go out to eat."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "Let's go, once we're full, we should leave."

"Leave?" Yun Mengyao was taken aback.

"What, you can't bear to leave?"

"Not really, we haven't said goodbye to Susu yet, nor have we gotten the map."

Qin Yi laughed, "I've already said goodbye to Yun Susu for you. I've also gotten the map."

Yun Mengyao paused, patting Qin Yi's shoulder, she laughed, "This time you've really made me see you in a new light."

"Hm?" Qin Yi was surprised, not quite understanding.

"Madam Qiu told me that you single-handedly dethroned the Emperor. You're amazing, Susu is the Emperor now, and once we leave, who knows if we'll be able to see her again?"

Qin Yi was stunned, "Is that what Qiu Tang told you?"

Yun Mengyao nodded, "Yes, she told me to wait here for you, saying you'd come find me soon."

Qin Yi was stunned for a while, shaking his head helplessly, that woman is indeed impressive. It seems Yun Qinglian didn't kill Qiu Tang because she understood the Yunyue Empire needed her.
