Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 92 Sister-in-law

Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yi and asked, "How did you know about these things?"

Wang Yuyan also realized what was happening and shook her head, saying, "That's right, you're about our age, how do you know these things? You must be lying to me, how could my cousin not be my cousin..."

Lin Yi laughed and said, "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. After Wanmei and I got together, I specifically inquired about her background. With my status in the martial arts world, is it not normal for me to find out about Prince Duan's romantic affairs?"

Qin Hongmian collapsed on the deck. She had felt both hatred and anger when she heard Lin Yi talk about those old stories, so she wasn't surprised to learn that Wang Yuyan was also Duan Zhengchun's daughter.

But upon hearing Lin Yi say that he and Mu Wanqing had gotten together, he immediately turned red with anger and glared at Mu Wanqing.

Lin Yi suddenly felt a thrill of spoiling the plot. Seeing Wang Yuyan's blank expression, he became even more excited and continued to add more information.

“Miss Wang, Wan’er is your older sister, and you also have a younger sister named Zhong Ling… Her situation is the same as yours. Back then, her mother, Gan Baobao, was pregnant with her, but was abandoned by Duan Zhengchun and quickly married someone else.”

Lin Yi didn't mention A Zhu and A Zi. Not only have they not recognized each other yet, but whether they will be able to recognize each other in the future is still a question.

"You're so smart, don't you understand? Madam Wang loves to kill unfaithful men, especially those from Dali, because she was betrayed by Duan Zhengchun;"

"But Madam Wang also planted camellias from Dali all over Mantuo Villa, because she had always been deeply in love with Duan Zhengchun."

"And...why do Madam Murong and Madam Wang not get along?"

Of course, it was because the eldest sister-in-law discovered that her sister-in-law was having an affair with another man, and that the daughter she gave birth to was not of the Wang family bloodline—Lin Yi didn't say this explicitly, but Wang Yuyan could naturally guess it.

When Wang Yuyan learned about her true identity, she felt as if fate had played a cruel trick on her.

Visibility was obstructed at night, the boat moved slowly, and with no one rowing, it just drifted along.

……

The next day, the three women woke up after a nap and had calmed down. They sat on the boat without saying a word.

Qin Hongmian was shocked when she learned of Lin Yi's identity. She was concerned about his relationship with Mu Wanqing, but could only ask him about it in private.

Mu Wanqing and Wang Yuyan rowed the boat one after the other, the atmosphere was a little awkward, only Lin Yi spoke from time to time.

"Wanmei, from now on you will come with me. First, come with me to Shenjing, and then you will follow me wherever I go."

Before Mu Wanqing could speak, Qin Hongmian suddenly said, "I heard that you are already married, to the daughter of the leader of the Huashan Sect."

"So what?" Lin Yi asked. "Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?"

"You want Wan'er to be your concubine?" Qin Hongmian said fiercely.

"So what? Aren't you the same as Duan Zhengchun? Don't worry, I'm not Duan Zhengchun, I won't abandon Wan'er."

"You're not allowed to insult him!"

"What did I say to him? Was it not true?"

Qin Hongmian was furious and almost attacked him... but she knew she couldn't beat Lin Yi, and if she did, she would be immobilized by having her pressure points sealed.

Lin Yi ignored her and took Mu Wanqing's hand, saying, "Don't use that poisoned arrow anymore. If you encounter a true master, you'll only suffer the consequences. Wanmei, you'll follow me from now on, and I'll teach you the best martial arts in the world."

Qin Hongmian was immediately displeased. She was the one who had instructed Mu Wanqing on how to use hidden weapons. She sneered, "At most, these hidden weapons won't hit the opponent. What harm could they possibly do?"

Lin Yi smiled and waved to her. Qin Hongmian raised her sleeve, and Mu Wanqing saw it and exclaimed "Ah!"

呲呲呲!
Qin Hongmian pressed the trigger, and three short arrows shot out rapidly. Lin Yi raised his sleeve and flicked it, sending out a burst of energy that deflected the three short arrows back, grazing Qin Hongmian's shoulder.

Qin Hongmian was so frightened that she trembled and froze on the spot.

Wang Yuyan turned her head to look at the three short arrows. She saw that the arrows flew more than twenty feet before disappearing into the lake, splashing up a long string of water droplets. She immediately cheered in her heart.

Then he sighed inwardly, "His martial arts are so high. How can my cousin catch up if he only learns the martial arts from the Langhuan Jade Cave?"

Qin Hongmian was still frozen in place, both from the shock she had just experienced and from recalling Mu Wanqing's reaction when she had launched a sneak attack on Lin Yi...

Wang Yuyan suddenly asked, "Brother Lin, what martial arts skills are you going to teach my sister?"

Lin Yi knew that Wang Yuyan wanted to find out about him, but he didn't take it to heart. He then smiled and said, "It's brother-in-law! Call me brother-in-law first, and I'll tell you."

Mu Wanqing blushed and tapped him with the oar pole. Lin Yi hugged her and kissed her cheek.

Wang Yuyan blushed and stared blankly.

"You...you people, you have no shame!" Qin Hongmian said, "I haven't even agreed to your relationship yet!"

Lin Yi said, "You don't agree? I'll go find Prince Duan and ask him to marry his daughter to me... By the way, I just saved Prince Duan at Little Mirror Lake, and he's currently flirting with another woman."

Qin Hongmian immediately flew into a rage: "Who is she? Which woman?"

Lin Yi laughed; this method of shifting the blame was indeed effective: "The lady surnamed Ruan is very gentle; no wonder Prince Duan goes to the Central Plains to find her whenever he has the chance."

These words were like a sharp knife piercing Qin Hongmian's heart. Enraged, she said, "Fine, I'll marry Wan'er to you. Go and kill all his lovers!"

Lin Yi looked at Wang Yuyan and smiled, "Okay, your mother lives closest, shall we go to Mantuo Manor first? You want to go back anyway."

Wang Yuyan was so frightened that she quickly waved her hands, even though she knew Lin Yi was probably joking... With Lin Yi's martial arts skills, no one could stop him. "Brother-in-law, I'm not going back! Don't hurt my mother."

Upon hearing the address "brother-in-law," Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle. A trip to Mantuo Manor would mean gaining a concubine and a sister-in-law for free...

Qin Hongmian sat there silently, her eyes red. Wang Yuyan said, "Brother-in-law, you haven't said what superior martial arts you're going to teach my sister."

Lin Yi glanced at her, then said to Mu Wanqing, "I will first teach you the Yi Jin Jing and Duan Gu technique of the Nine Yin Manual to improve your physical aptitude and then practice internal strength. After that, you will learn the exquisite sword techniques of the Five Sacred Mountains, Emei, Wudang, and Quanzhen Schools. Then you will be a first-class female knight in the martial arts world."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan suddenly realized: "No wonder you were at Mantuo Manor, you were secretly reading in Langhuan Jade Cave."

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Weren't the martial arts manuals in Langhuan Jade Cave stolen from various sects by your maternal grandparents?"

Wang Yuyan, unaware of these matters, shook her head and said, "I can't argue with you."

They rowed their boat all the way to Suzhou. On a waterway, they suddenly encountered a small boat approaching from afar. It was Ding Baiying, who was on her way to pick up Lin Yi from Mantuo Villa.

When the two groups met, Ding Baiying was secretly surprised to see that Lin Yi had brought back three beautiful women from Mantuo Villa after his trip.

After leaving Taihu Lake and arriving in Suzhou, Lin Yi chose an inn close to the Lin residence to stay at.

Qin Hongmian said, "The whole city of Suzhou is full of Wang family spies. If we stay here, that bitch's men will definitely come looking for us."

Lin Yi said, "With me here, I'm not afraid of any number of people coming."

Wang Yuyan looked at Qin Hongmian and said, "Auntie, my mother is not a lowly woman."

"Who's your aunt?" Qin Hongmian glared at her, reaching out to pinch her. "I'll take it out on you, you little slut."

Wang Yuyan quickly hid behind Mu Wanqing, "Sister!"

Although Mu Wanqing was fierce, she was very simple-minded and kind-hearted. She quickly advised, "Mom, it has nothing to do with her."

Qin Hongmian said angrily, "You haven't explained your situation clearly yet! Come with me."

She pulled Mu Wanqing into the house, then turned and glared at Lin Yi.

Wang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the table, her little face showing worry.

Although Suzhou is very close to Mantuo Villa, she is completely unfamiliar with it.

Wang Yuyan has almost never left Mantuo Manor since she was a child; the last time she left was the last time.

She went out on her own initiative, accompanied by A Zhu, A Bi, Bao Butong, Feng Bo'e, and Duan Yu, who was trying to win her favor.

This time, however, he was captured and brought out.

Qin Hongmian still harbored a great deal of hostility towards her.

Wang Yuyan looked at Lin Yi and said weakly, "Brother-in-law, please let me go."

Seeing her expression, Lin Yi felt a pang of pity and his heart softened. He was about to speak.

Wang Yuyan added, "My cousin is injured, I need to go back to take care of him..."

Lin Yi's face darkened. "Go find your Sister Mu... Don't worry, I held back my strength in that palm strike. Murong Fu won't die."

Wang Yuyan looked embarrassed and said, "My cousin said he saved you in Shaanxi before, how could you hit me so hard..."

Lin Yi laughed: "I held back half my strength because of his favor, and he still couldn't withstand it. How can you blame me? If your martial arts are low, you should practice more!"

Hearing Lin Yi belittle Murong Fu, Wang Yuyan felt uncomfortable, and then suddenly thought of something else.

"Brother Lin, you owe my cousin a favor, right?"

Lin Yi nodded.

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "Then you can send me back, and that will repay the favor!"

Lin Yi's expression was strange as he said, "Of course."

Wang Yuyan was beaming with joy when she saw Lin Yi's amused smile. She asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"

"But are you sure your cousin is willing? Will Murong Fu be angry if he finds out you've used up his favor like this?"

Lin Yi shook his head and smiled: "How precious is my favor? Murong Fu is single-mindedly focused on restoring his Great Yan. In his eyes, should he save you, or should he use this favor for the restoration of his country?"

Wang Yuyan froze, and the joy on her face slowly faded.

"In Murong Fu's heart, is restoring the kingdom more important, or are you more important?"

Wang Yuyan fell silent for a moment, unable to utter a word.

She didn't even ask Lin Yi how he knew the top secret that Murong Fu was a descendant of the Great Yan.

Wang Yuyan couldn't help but think about this question... She had the answer, but she was unwilling to accept it.
