Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1027 1027: Stealing Wine

Chapter 1027

Qin Yi hurried to the Mo Family. Now everyone in the Mo Family knows that Family Head Mo Wuji and Blood Shura Qin Yi are good friends, and quickly to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing came out together to greet him.
Qin Yi saw this and was amused. Bai Jingqing was no longer a maiden, it seemed that this good cabbage was eventually snatched by Mo Wuji, the pig.
"Brother Qin, is everything done?"
Qin Yi nodded slightly, "I just finished and came to drink the wedding wine."
"The wedding wine has been saved for you. Come on, I'll personally cook, and we'll have a good drink tonight."
Arriving at Mo Wuji's courtyard, Bai Jingqing kept Qin Yi company while chatting, and Mo Wuji went to prepare food and drinks.
"Little White Fairy, oh no, now I should call you Mrs. Mo." Qin Yi teased.
Bai Jingqing rolled her eyes, "You better call me Little White Fairy, it sounds more comfortable. I married Wuji, but I can't lose even my surname, right?"
Qin Yi laughed, "How does life feel after marriage?"
Bai Jingqing thought for a moment, "Not much change, just one person becoming two."
Qin Yi smirked, "How could it be the same? You used to sleep alone and couldn't sleep, now with two people, it's sleepless nights."
Bai Jingqing's pretty face turned red, she glared at Qin Yi with annoyance, "Be proper. Wuji calls you Brother Qin, I guess I'm your sister-in-law. What kind of brother jokes like that with his sister-in-law?"
"Stop joking, Old Mo is a few years older than me, by age, I should call him brother."
"That means I am your sister-in-law, as the saying goes, 'An elder sister-in-law is like a mother, the young brother-in-law is like a son.' You should follow the rules more."
Qin Yi: "..."
"I honestly didn't see it. Marriage can improve one's speaking skills. What have you gone through to develop such a good tongue?"
Bai Jingqing was about to respond when she saw Qin Yi's mischievous grin. Instantly her pretty face turned rosy. This scoundrel started spouting nonsense again. In anger and embarrassment, she picked up an apple from the table and threw it at Qin Yi, "Eat an apple to shut your mouth."
Qin Yi caught the apple with his hand, "Are you planning to settle down in the Mo Family from now on?"
"No, I will still return from time to time, after all, Baihua Pavilion is also my maiden family. Now Baihua Pavilion and the Mo Family thrive together and suffer together. Staying there is actually the same for me."
The two were chatting aimlessly, and Mo Wuji had prepared the food.
Mo Wuji brought a jar of wine, "This is the real wedding wine, we didn't dare drink it, just waiting for you."
"What does real wedding wine mean?" Qin Yi didn't understand.
Mo Wuji laughed, "This jar of wine was buried by Pavilion Master Nie underground on Bai Junior Sister's first day at Baihua Pavilion. On our wedding day, Pavilion Master Nie dug it out. So this is the real wedding wine, only this jar, waiting for you."
"I see, a hundred-year wine, I must drink a few glasses."
Bai Jingqing joked with a laugh, "Are you crazy? What hundred-year wine, am I a hundred years old?"
"Uh... not?"
Bai Jingqing rolled her eyes in frustration.
Mo Wuji smiled and broke open the mud seal on top of the wine jar, "Brother Qin, let's have a toast."
Of course, Qin Yi had no objections.
However, Mo Wuji tilted the wine jar for a long time, but no wine came out.
Mo Wuji looked bewildered, squinting into the jar, it was completely empty inside, not a drop of wine.
"This..."
Bai Jingqing took the jar for a look, "Where's the wine?"
Mo Wuji shook his head, with a face full of confusion.
Qin Yi teased, "You invite me for wedding wine, but it's just a feeling of loneliness?"
Mo Wuji looked embarrassed, glancing at Bai Jingqing, "Could it have all evaporated over time?"
Bai Jingqing nodded, she thought the same.
"Impossible, with such good sealing, even if moisture evaporates, there should still be some wine sediment or paste left; it can't be completely gone." Qin Yi said.
Mo Wuji wondered, "Then where did the wine go?"
Qin Yi took the jar, turning it over and over, then stared at the bottom for a while, "Who all touched this wine?"
Mo Wuji thought, "Pavilion Master Nie gave it to the ancestor, and the ancestor passed it to me. I stored it away, waiting for you to drink. Only the three of us touched it, Bai Junior Sister didn't touch it."
"The ancestor you mention, was it Hutu Old Man or the Old Scumbag?"
Mo Wuji's mouth twitched, "It was Hutu Old Ancestor."
Qin Yi grinned, "That old guy, stealing disciple's wedding wine, that's despicable, right? Your Mo Family ancestor, among the three, there's a scumbag, a thief, and the one I haven't seen yet, but I can imagine, he's either a lecher or a rogue."
Mo Wuji's mouth twitched, "Brother Qin, you mean the wine inside was stolen by Hutu Old Ancestor?"
"Who else?"
"Could there be a mistake? The seal on the wine jar is well intact."
Qin Yi pointed at a needle-sized small hole at the bottom of the jar, "Take a look at this and you'll understand. Clearly, someone poked a hole here and stole the wine inside."
Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing stared at it for a long time before spotting the needle-sized hole and exchanged glances.
"No way, could it be the jar's poor quality, Pavilion Master Nie buried it, and it leaked on its own?" Mo Wuji questioned.
"The marks around the small hole are very fresh, obviously poked out recently."
Mo Wuji studied it for a while and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I knew Hutu Old Ancestor loved wine, but I truly didn't expect him to steal this jar of wine."
"Pavilion Master Nie was too carefree, handing such good wine to Hutu Old Man, isn't that like giving a fish to a cat for safekeeping?"
Mo Wuji looked ashamed, "Brother Qin, I'm really sorry."
"Come on, let's go find Hutu Old Man. Daring to steal the wine saved for me, I'll beat him until he vomits even the meals of the past days."
Mo Wuji quickly soothed Qin Yi, "Brother Qin, never mind! There is still good wine, I'll go get it."
Qin Yi pouted, it was pointless to find Hutu Old Man now. The wine probably turned into urine long ago and nourished some piece of land.
"Little White Fairy, see? The Mo Family from the old to the young are no good. Be careful in the Mo Family, and keep your guard up."
Bai Jingqing was also speechless, unexpectedly Mo Hutu was so unreliable to steal this wine as well.
Mo Wuji fetched another wine, which was also a fine wine stored for decades.
"Sorry, I wasn't there for your wedding and couldn't witness your ceremony. I'll drink one as an apology." Qin Yi raised his head and drank a glass.
Mo Wuji lifted his glass to toast but was stopped by Qin Yi, "Let me finish talking."
Qin Yi raised the second glass, "This one is to wish you happiness in your new marriage, early delivery of children. The blessing comes a bit late, I will drink another for myself."
Qin Yi poured another glass, "And this one is to wish you all well in the future."
Qin Yi finished three glasses consecutively.
Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing exchanged glances, feeling something was off with Qin Yi. With Qin Yi's personality, he usually drinks a glass and then tricks others into drinking two glasses; today's behavior was obviously unusual.
