Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 876 877: Adding Fuel to the Fire

Chapter 876

Qin Yi arrived at the villa where Lan Jiaojiao was originally held.
"Stop."
The captain of a patrol team appeared, stopping Qin Yi.
Qin Yi hurriedly said, "By the Family Head's order, the auspicious time has come, take the bride over immediately."
"Understood!"
Upon hearing the response, Qin Yi nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Qin Yi quietly snuck back again.
"What are you up to?" Lan Jiaojiao asked curiously.
Qin Yi laughed and said, "It's nothing, just adding fuel to the fire."
Qin Yi suddenly looked at Lan Jiaojiao's pretty little face.
Lan Jiaojiao felt a bit embarrassed under Qin Yi's gaze, "I know I'm very pretty, but if you keep staring at me like that, I'll feel shy."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes.
"There's something off about your appearance."
"What's wrong?" Lan Jiaojiao asked curiously.
Qin Yi's lips curled slightly, "Even though you're wearing a Fang Family disciple's outfit, your physique is too petite, very noticeable. Especially with your face, anyone can immediately tell you're a woman. So, some changes are needed."
"What changes?"
"Simple, your face is too clean, it needs to be a bit dirtied."
Lan Jiaojiao instantly glared at Qin Yi, "Old Man Qin, I'm warning you, if you dare to dirty my face, I'll never forgive you."
"But if you're discovered, it will really be over."
"You're just getting back at me, just because I teased you a bit? Is it really worth holding a grudge over?"
Qin Yi forced himself not to laugh, calmly said, "Revenge? I'm thinking about your safety."
"I don't care, but you'd better not think about dirtying my face."
"Alright then. If you get discovered, don't expect me to save you. There are so many strong fighters here, I can't defeat them."
As Qin Yi spoke, he secretly rubbed his hands on a nearby rockery, covering them with dust. Then suddenly extended his hands, smearing Lan Jiaojiao's charming face.
Lan Jiaojiao was dumbfounded, staring at Qin Yi blankly. It was only when Qin Yi let go that she came to her senses. She touched her face, realizing it was all dusty, and went berserk.
"Shh! Someone's coming," Qin Yi gestured for silence.
Lan Jiaojiao, like a balloon full of air being popped, lost her chance to vent, seething with anger and glaring at Qin Yi with a stomach ache.
Qin Yi wasn't lying. The Fang Family, in an attempt to find Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing, was conducting a thorough search, and two Fang Family disciples had searched behind the rockery.
Qin Yi and Lan Jiaojiao pretended to be searching as well.
Seeing the search in progress here, the two disciples didn't ask questions and moved on to search elsewhere.
"Old Man Qin..." Once those two left, Lan Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, glaring at Qin Yi, ready to settle the score.
Qin Yi, however, cheerfully pointed in a direction, "Look over there, the show is starting."
Lan Jiaojiao instinctively turned to look, and saw a large group of people heading this way from afar.
An old woman was supporting the bride, surrounded by a dozen maids, flanked by two patrol teams from the Fang Family for protection.
In front of the Fang Family's main hall, the Family Head, the Elders, and elders from other families were present.
Seeing the team escorting the bride, Fang Haohong's face turned black on the spot, and the other elders were equally grim, looking as if they were about to die.
Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing's life and death were unknown. The Five Great Families were suspecting each other, and now, of all times, the bride was being delivered, stabbing right at Baihua Pavilion and the Mo Family's hearts.
Chen Qingxia looked at Fang Haohong, "Family Head Fang, what do you mean by this? With our Baihua Pavilion's Holy Daughter's fate uncertain, you are impatient to hold a wedding celebration?"
Although Mo Fushui and others remained silent, their expressions were equally grim, probably sharing similar thoughts with Chen Qingxia.
"What's going on?" Fang Haohong asked with a darkened face.
Several elders of the Fang Family were equally bewildered. Fang Haohong had already ordered the wedding to be postponed. So why was the bride brought over now?
The Great Elder, Fang Weiran, stepped forward, sternly demanding, "Who told you to come?"
The old woman escorting the bride, the maids, and the patrol teams were frightened by Fang Weiran's twisted and ferocious face.
"Speak, who told you to come?" Fang Weiran shouted, his voice so powerful that the ground seemed to tremble.
The group escorting the bride was almost scared out of their wits, trembling uncontrollably, not understanding why the Great Elder was so furious.
The captain of the patrol team stepped forward, bowed with clasped fists, and nervously said, "ing to the Great Elder, a disciple conveyed a message earlier, saying it was the Family Head's order to bring the bride over immediately."
Even someone like Fang Haohong, as the head of the family, rarely gets provoked to anger. Yet now, he was almost exploding with rage, "Nonsense, when did I ever give such an order?"
The Great Elder was already furious, and now even the Family Head was angered. The escorting team was scared to the core, kneeling and shaking on the spot.
"Whoever dared to fabricate my order, find this person and execute them on the spot," Fang Haohong commanded angrily.
However, Chen Qingxia chuckled coldly, "Family Head Fang, quit the theatrics."
"What do you mean?" Fang Haohong asked coldly, looking at Chen Qingxia.
Chen Qingxia sneered, "This is your Fang Family, who would dare risk their life to impersonate your orders? Whether it was impersonation or not, we all know well."
Mo Fushui also sneered, indicating his stance.
Fang Haohong's eyes turned ominous as he looked at Chen Qingxia and Mo Fushui. As the Family Head, these people were merely elders from various families. Especially since they were in the Fang Family's domain, they should be paying respects to him.
Simply put, his status was much higher than theirs. In an ordinary situation, if they dared to speak to him like this, he could slap them to death, and they would have brought it upon themselves.
But in this current situation, he felt extremely aggrieved. If he truly exerted his power, it would confirm that Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing's disappearance was related to the Fang Family. He absolutely couldn't make a move. Fang Haohong was so angry it hurt his chest.
"Nonsense, take them away," the Great Elder Fang Weiran roared.
The escorting team was so terrified, their souls felt like they had left their bodies, their hands and feet going weak, unable to stand for a long time.
Everyone was kneeling, except for the bride who was standing. Just then, a gust of wind blew, sweeping away the bride's head covering.
This gust of wind was, of course, Qin Yi's handiwork.
The wind suddenly blowing away the bride's veil naturally drew everyone's attention.
As a result, everyone was stunned upon seeing her.
Fang Family members were shocked into a mental blankness, their eyes staring wide.
Elders from other families were equally astonished. Due to mutual wariness, the Five Great Families had spies keeping tabs, fully aware of such matters. This bride turned out to be Fang Haohong's concubine.
This...
Fang Haohong's concubine became the bride, and was to marry the Young Master Fang Zhiyi?
The Fang Family's Family Head and Young Master sharing the same woman, it was utterly absurd, more shocking than anything anyone could imagine, truly a sensational story.
