Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 961 961: Prank

Qin Yi ate his fill, wiped his mouth, rubbed his swollen belly, and grinned, "Comfortable. Indeed, the heavens are ruled by food. Eating until full brings peace of mind."
Mo Wuji chuckled softly and began to clear the dishes.
"You're just like a frugal and hardworking little wife," Qin Yi teased.
Mo Wuji could only offer a wry smile in helplessness.
"Satisfied and satiated, I should be on my way. You must be extra cautious these days; notify me immediately if there is any sign of trouble."
Mo Wuji put down the items in his hand, took paper and pen, and wrote, "Brother Qin, you're heading off now?"
"I'm going home! My two precious daughters are waiting for me, now I have another reason to worry."
"Brother Qin is indeed fortunate."
"Without all these chaotic matters, I'd truly be the winner in life."
"That day will come."
"Remember to burn the notes you've written."
Mo Wuji nodded; all of this was conversations with Qin Yi, which could easily become leverage for others.
Qin Yi laughed, stood up, waved his hand, and left directly.
Mo Wuji finished cleaning up the dishes, turned, and walked towards his room.
"Young Master is back?"
Mo Wuji, thinking about the news Qin Yi told him, just nodded, not noticing the odd look in Qin Ankang's eyes.
He pushed open the door, entered the room, and as he sat down on the bed, still pondering, his hand touched a warm and smooth skin.
Mo Wuji reacted as though electrocuted, shouting, "Who is it?"
He turned sharply to see the quilt laid open with two distinct figures below it.
He raised his hand, and with a sweep of his palm wind, the quilt was lifted away.
Mo Wuji's entire body stiffened; on the bed lay two beautiful women dressed scantily and alluringly.
The two women cried out, shyly curling into a ball.
Mo Wuji's mind buzzed, he quickly turned away, shouting, "Ankang."
Qin Ankang hurriedly pushed open the door and entered, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
"What is this about?" Mo Wuji asked in panic, pointing at the two women on the bed.
Qin Ankang was puzzled and confused, "I acted on Young Master's orders and didn't alert anyone. Young Master, are you dissatisfied with them? Although they aren't up to the standard of Fairy Bai, they are the most beautiful among the others."
Mo Wuji's eyes widened, "What are you saying? What orders of mine?"
Qin Ankang was dazed, suddenly realizing that such an affair couldn't possibly be ordered by Young Master. If word got out, Young Master's reputation for being lecherous would be irretrievable.
"Young Master, it was my decision alone, nothing to do with you."
As a subordinate, ensuring tasks are well done and bearing the blame at critical moments are both essential.
Mo Wuji looked incredulously at Qin Ankang, "You, you acted on your own? Ankang, what on earth happened, explain to me clearly, no hiding."
Having been with him for so long, he knew very well that Qin Ankang was certainly not someone who acted independently, nor could he possibly have the idea of placing two women on his bed. Something was definitely awry.
"Come out with me," Mo Wuji finished, heading towards the door.
Qin Ankang, still stunned, quickly followed.
"Explain, what is going on here?" Mo Wuji frowned.
If this gets to his Fairy Bai's ears, could he still live?
Qin Ankang couldn't fathom Mo Wuji's thoughts, instinctively said, "Young Master, wasn't it you who instructed me to find two women for you? You mentioned you were too tired and wanted to relax."
Mo Wuji was completely stunned, exclaimed, "You said I instructed you?"
Qin Ankang nodded honestly, still reassured, "Young Master, don't worry! Should word truly spread, I'll say it was my own decision, nothing to do with you."
Mo Wuji forced himself to calm down, knowing Qin Ankang wouldn't lie, and indeed, he hadn't given such an instruction, making the situation very peculiar.
Suddenly, Mo Wuji's gaze flickered as he thought of a possibility.
"When did I instruct you?"
Qin Ankang looked at Mo Wuji strangely. Could it be that Young Master had developed amnesia? He replied, "Just earlier in the study, not more than an hour ago. Young Master, you don't remember?"
An hour ago?
At that time, he went to cook for Qin Yi? And the study had only Qin Yi?
Mo Wuji chuckled bitterly; it seemed he had been plotted against by Qin Yi.
"What you saw in the study wasn't me; can't you even recognize me?" Mo Wuji said helplessly.
Qin Ankang's face changed dramatically; this matter could be seen as minor or serious. If the other party was an enemy, he'd be slandering his own Young Master's reputation.
"Young Master, yet I clearly saw you, though the light was dim, but the physique and voice were indeed yours."
"That was Brother Qin."
Qin Ankang was completely dumbfounded.
"Qin, Mr. Qin?"
Mo Wuji nodded, "When he arrived, you happened to be out handling affairs, so you didn't see him. At that time I went to cook for him; what you saw was him."
"This..."
Qin Ankang was at a loss.
Mo Wuji laughed and cried simultaneously, "Brother Qin has the skill of disguising, coupled with his physique not differing much from mine. You said the light was dim; it must have been intentionally done by Brother Qin. You were deceived by him."
Qin Ankang was completely speechless. If it were someone else, he might have already started cursing. But against Qin Yi, he didn't dare, only managing a wry smile, "Mr. Qin has such a childish heart, playing such a prank."
Mo Wuji shook his head, amused, "I didn't expect it either. However, Brother Qin's actions likely weren't merely a prank but a test for me."
"A test? This old servant doesn't understand."
Mo Wuji's gaze focused, "Do you know why Brother Qin came looking for me late at night?"
"This old servant does not know, dares not presume Mr. Qin's intent, nor can he discern."
"Indeed, no one can fathom Brother Qin's intentions. The reason he did this was to test whether I truly am disinterested in women. At my age, having never been involved with women, spreading such claims is hard to believe. Since he has done so much for me, he needs to see if I am truly worth his support."
Ankang, I must tell you something you might find hard to believe; Brother Qin came to me late at night because he had just exterminated the Fang Family. And it was due to me."
Qin Ankang's face changed dramatically; exterminated the Fang Family, which was utterly unimaginable for him.
"The Fang Family had suspected my connection with Brother Qin and planned to inform Mo Honghai, intercepted by Brother Qin. Having no choice, he eradicated the Fang Family; he came specifically to inform me."
Fang Ankang was stunned, unable to return to his senses for a long time. The Fang Family's power was not inferior to the Mo Family, yet it was wiped out by Qin Yi; it was terrifying.
Qin Ankang was about to speak, but Mo Wuji quickly interrupted: "We'll talk more later; first get rid of those two women inside for me. If Fairy Bai finds out, I might as well commit suicide. Brother Qin is going to get me killed sooner or later."
