Chapter 948 What sister-in-law? !
"Oh? So that's how it is," Bai Luoying pretended to be surprised, but a hint of pride flashed in her eyes, "No wonder the mansion is in such a mess."
She took a sip of tea, letting the warm liquid slide down her throat, "How is Ximen Yinshuang doing?"
"The second young lady has been crying all day, and Madam has been with her the whole time." Qing Liu hesitated for a moment, "Miss, I heard that if the eldest young lady cannot be found, the second young lady may..."
Bai Luoying put down the teacup and gently stroked the edge of the cup with her fingertips: "Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid he won't live more than a month." Qingliu's voice was almost inaudible.
"Is that so..." Bai Luoying looked out the window. The moonlight poured like water onto her delicate profile, outlining a cold and hard outline.
She was secretly happy in her heart: If Ximen Yinshuang died, she would be the only bloodline of the Ximen family.
As a lady with the blood of the Ximen family, Bai Luoying's identity and status will naturally rise.
By then, all the wealth and glory, as well as the resources for cultivation, won’t they all be hers?
Thinking of this, Bai Luoying couldn't help but laugh wildly in her heart, "Hahaha..."
Not only that, she also thought of Su Yi.
If Ximen Yinshuang died, the marriage between the Su family and the Ximen family would naturally fall on her.
At that time, she only needed to find a suitable opportunity to leave the Ximen family, and then bring the strong men of the Ximen family to eliminate Su Chenyin.
Without Su Chenyin as a competitor, Jun Yijue would definitely feel empty and lonely.
And Bai Luoying can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, and Jun Yijue will naturally become her prey.
In this way, both the wealth and status of the Ximen family, as well as the two outstanding men, Su Yi and Jun Yijue, will belong to Bai Luoying alone.
Thinking of this, Bai Luoying almost laughed out loud.
……
At the same time, in the mountains a hundred miles away, Su Chenyin and his group were resting.
It is now late at night, and they plan to rest here for one night and return to Tianyan Sect tomorrow.
Su Chenyin and others chose a relatively flat place and quickly built a blazing bonfire.
The flames of the bonfire jumped happily in the breeze, making crackling sounds from time to time.
The orange-red firelight illuminated the surroundings, bringing a little warmth and vitality to the quiet night.
Su Chenyin and his group sat around the campfire, eating dry food and chatting.
The shadows of the trees, illuminated by the fire, cast mottled black shadows on the ground, constantly changing with the dance of the flames.
Su Chenyin sat cross-legged beside the campfire, holding a branch in his hand and stirring the fire from time to time.
Sparks crackled, illuminating her beautiful profile.
Jun Yijue was sitting beside her, carefully peeling a spiritual fruit for her.
"Yinyin, here, I've peeled it." Jun Yijue handed the peeled fruit to her lips, his eyes full of pampering.
Su Chenyin opened her mouth and took it, and the tip of her tongue accidentally touched his fingertips.
Jun Yijue's eyes darkened and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
"Cough cough..." A deliberate cough interrupted the two people's romantic moments.
Su Yi had squatted on the other side of Su Chenyin without him knowing, with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Brother!" Su Chenyin glared at him in reproach, but the tips of her ears turned red.
Su Yi smiled and rubbed the top of his sister's head.
Then he leaned down, lowered his voice very low, as if afraid of being heard by others, and asked: "Sister, how is Junior Sister Ji now?"
Su Chenyin's expression straightened, and with a flick of his fingertips, a soundproof barrier quietly unfolded.
Looking at Su Yi's anxious expression, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Su Chenyin's eyes.
She deliberately swallowed the food in her mouth slowly, then wiped her mouth unhurriedly.
"Brother, don't worry, sister-in-law is fine now," she deliberately emphasized the word "sister-in-law" and a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"My sister-in-law woke up a long time ago, and I have already told her what happened."
Su Chenyin deliberately dragged out his voice and blinked at Su Yi with a teasing look.
"What sister-in-law!" Su Yi jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his handsome face turned red instantly.
"You girl, stop talking nonsense! Junior Sister Ji and I are just senior and junior brother and sister."
Su Chenyin looked at Su Yi's embarrassed reaction and secretly felt amused.
The smile on her face became even brighter, and she seemed very satisfied with Su Yi's reaction.
"Oh, really? Why are you so excited, brother?" Su Chenyin raised his eyebrows and pretended to be innocent, "Did I say something wrong?"
"But, brother, you just said in front of everyone at Ximen Yinshuang's birthday party that you like Miss Ji!"
"Brother, are you just saying it casually and not planning to confess your feelings to Miss Ji, let alone be with Miss Ji?"
Su Chenyin kept teasing Su Yi and nudged Su Yi lightly with her elbow.
Su Yi's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple, and the tips of his ears were so red that blood almost dripped out.
He lowered his head slightly awkwardly, his eyes avoiding, not daring to look into Su Chenyin's smiling and teasing eyes.
He recalled the scene at Ximen Yinshuang's birthday party today -
When the old fox Ximen Lie hypocritically proposed a marriage, he blurted out "I have someone in my heart" in a hurry, and even mentioned Ji Lier by name.
The scene was extremely awkward at the time, and Ximen Lie's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
"That was... that was a temporary solution!" He stammered in defense, "I just said that to deal with Ximen Lie's refusal to marry me, Ximen Yinshuang."
"Sister, don't take it seriously. Junior Sister Ji and I are just ordinary senior and junior brothers and sisters. There is absolutely nothing else."
There was a hint of guilt in his voice, as if even he himself did not quite believe what he said.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Su Chenyin nodded slightly, with an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, "Well, since you said so, brother, I will believe you."
Su Yi nodded quickly and breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, that's it."
Su Chenyin raised a meaningful smile at the corner of her lips: "Well, I will tell Miss Ji that you hate her and ask her to find someone to marry."
When Su Yi heard this, he was immediately panicked.
He suddenly raised his head, his face full of panic: "Sister, I don't hate Junior Sister Ji! I didn't ask her to find someone to marry."
"Don't tell her these things, or she will misunderstand you, do you hear me?"
His voice unconsciously rose an octave, with a hint of pleading, for fear that Su Chenyin would really say those words to Ji Lier.
Su Chenyin looked at Su Yi's extremely nervous appearance and couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
However, she still pretended to be innocent on the surface: "But, didn't you just say that you don't like her? I thought you really hated her."
Su Yi stamped his feet in anxiety.
He grabbed Su Chenyin's arm, shook it and said, "Sister, that's not what I meant!"
"I don't have any prejudice against Junior Sister Ji. Anyway, you must not say those words to Junior Sister Ji, otherwise she will misunderstand me!"
