"If you don't understand, don't interrupt." Yan Si said unhappily, "Prince Yu is seriously ill and will die soon. How can the young lady get married when she is in her prime?"

The King is dying?

Su Yinyue immediately began to think that if she married into Prince Yu's Mansion, once Prince Yu died, she would be the master of the Mansion.

Taking over the power of the Prince Yu's Mansion, with money and power, wouldn't it be faster to find a way to return to the modern era?

This is much faster than borrowing the power of the Marquis' Mansion.

Su Yinyue's mind became active, and she no longer cared about Aunt Yan pushing her into the fire pit. She said seriously: "Aunt, you are right. My sister is young and deserves someone better!"

"This Prince is the emperor's son, right?"

Seeing Aunt Yan nod, Su Yinyue said with great joy, "The Emperor must have more than one son, Prince Yu. Sister is both beautiful and talented. If she marries another prince, she might become the Queen in the future and rule the country."

These words touched the hearts of Su Changyuan and Liu Wan, and they nodded repeatedly after hearing them.

Ning'er has always been known as a talented woman in the capital, and has always been the object of imitation for noble ladies.

Ever since Ning'er turned fifteen, the door has been crowded with young men from wealthy families proposing marriage, and even a prince has come to ask for her hand in marriage.

Previously, Prince Yu was the most promising of all the emperor's sons. Su Changyuan and his wife were happy to see Su Qinning fall in love with Prince Yu.

But the present is different from the past. Prince Yu is seriously ill and will die soon. Su Qinning certainly cannot get married.

Su Qinning glared at Su Yinyue, wishing she could eat her up in one bite.

"Father and mother, there are so many doctors in the Imperial Hospital, they will definitely be able to cure Prince Yu."

Su Qinning looked anxious, trying desperately to persuade the two, "The emperor has even posted an imperial edict to recruit famous doctors from all over the world to treat the prince. I don't believe that in such a big country like Qi, there is no doctor who can cure the prince!"

"Father and mother, my daughter truly loves Prince Yu, please fulfill her wish!"

As she spoke, she lifted up her skirt, knelt on the ground, and looked pleading.

Liu Wan frowned, "If Prince Yu dies because he can't be cured, are you willing to live alone in Prince Yu's mansion from now on? You have to know that the royal family is not like other families. For the sake of face, they will not let you remarry."

"I……"

Su Qinning pinched her palms and racked her brains to persuade the two of them, "After marrying into Prince Yu's Mansion, I will stay at home and will not step out of the palace even once!"

She spoke more and more smoothly, subconsciously weighing the pros and cons, "If Prince Yu really died, I would fake my death in the name of Su Yinyue, and later announce to the public that it was Su Yinyue who married Prince Yu. What does it have to do with me, Su Qinning?"

The Yongning Marquisate had done the same thing before.

Eighteen years ago, Yan Xi took Su Yinyue away in order to frame Aunt Yan, and the Marquis' Mansion announced to the public that the fetus was stillborn.

Now that Su Yinyue has been found, it is announced to the public that Su Yinyue's breath was weak back then and it was unknown whether she could be raised. In order to prevent Aunt Yan from worrying day and night about a daughter who was destined to die and hurting her own body, the child was simply sent to the farm to be raised.

"By then, I will still be the eldest daughter of the Marquisate!"

Su Qinning argued convincingly.

She had come up with this idea on the spur of the moment, but now that she had thought about it, she felt that this method was most beneficial to her.

Su Qinning couldn't help but begin to regret killing Su Yinyue.

If she could become good sisters with Su Yinyue, the plan would be easier to carry out.

After hearing this, Su Yinyue almost laughed out of anger. It turned out that bringing her back was not only for marriage replacement, but also for death in the place of death if necessary!

"Is it really okay for you to plot against me in front of me?"

Su Yinyue asked quietly, her eyes seemed to be frozen with coldness.

"Why not?" Su Qinning said confidently, "You were born to a concubine, you are of low status, and you grew up in the countryside. You are so crude and vulgar, how can you compare to me?"

"I am the legitimate daughter, of noble blood, and your mother is my mother's maid. You should have been my wife--ah!"

Su Yinyue didn't want to listen anymore, so she raised her hand and slapped her in the face.

He smashed her bones and sucked her marrow so blatantly, did he really think she was made of clay?

Pulling off the hairpin on Liu Wan's head, Su Yinyue stabbed Su Qinning with all her might, "If you want me to die, I'll kill you first!"

Su Qinning didn't expect that she would be so crazy and dare to kill someone in front of her parents. She screamed in fear.

"enough!"

Su Changyuan shouted angrily, grabbed Su Yinyue's hands and took off her hairpin.

He turned to Su Qinning and said sullenly, "Ning'er, you can plot against other people however you want, but Yin Yue is also my daughter. She has the same blood as you. I won't allow you to plot against your own sister like this!"

Su Changyuan's face looked extremely bad. He had used many shady methods to eliminate his competitors in the court.

In order to prevent Su Qinning from being harmed, he would sometimes pick out some things to tell her.

He did this to cultivate Su Qinning's scheming so that she would not be at a loss when encountering major events, instead of letting her target her own family members for her own selfish reasons!

Sacrificing Su Yinyue's life to fulfill her wish of being husband and wife with King Yu for a few months, how selfish and cold-blooded this idea is!

His Yongning Marquis Mansion is far from being at the end of its rope!

Su Changyuan said to Liu Wan, "Madam, you should discipline Ning'er! Today, for her own benefit, she can kill Yin Yue! Will she use my life to pave the way for her in the future?"

"I don't want to hear such unkind words again!"

Moreover, he had received accurate information that Prince Yu was doomed to die, so marrying Su Yinyue to him and marrying Su Qining to other princes would maximize the benefits.

It's just that he can't tell you this news now.

It was the first time that Su Qinning saw Su Changyuan speak harshly to her. She opened her mouth to explain, "Dad, I..."

Su Changyuan raised his hand to stop him. "You set fire to your sister. This is too cruel. From today on, you are confined to your house and copy the words and commandments for women to reflect on your actions."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Su Yinyue stepped forward and blocked Su Changyuan's way. "She wants to kill me, so she's just confined to her house as punishment?"

It's too light.

Su Qinning's maid Qianqiu couldn't bear to watch, "You beat my young lady like this, what else do you want? Besides, aren't you okay?"

Su Yinyue slapped him with her backhand and said coldly, "We are talking, why are you, a slave, butting in? Don't you think you are too good?"

Su Changyuan was silent for a moment, then looked at Liu Wan, "...You are the mistress of the Marquisate, so you decide how to compensate Yin Yue."

Liu Wan bowed and agreed, "Don't worry, Lord."

Before leaving, Su Changyuan looked at Su Yinyue, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he couldn't help but sighed, "You have to change your temper that makes you hit people at every turn."

"Ning'er, don't leave the yard before Yin Yue gets married."

After leaving the last words, Su Changyuan walked out of Qiyun Courtyard completely.

"mother……"

Su Qinning looked at Liu Wan with tears in her eyes, wanting to plead for mercy.

"Listen to your father."

Liu Wan patted Su Qinning's arm to comfort her, "Qianqiu, Wangqing, go see if the doctor is here?"

She and Su Changyuan have been married for more than 20 years and she knows what he is thinking.

It was indeed the best choice for the Yongning Marquis' Mansion that Su Yinyue married into the Prince Yu's Mansion and became a widow, leaving the talented and virtuous Su Qining to be sold at a good price.

This was her plan from the beginning, otherwise she would not have brought Su Yinyue back.

……

Back at Yechun Courtyard, Aunt Yan sat on the main seat angrily, slapped the armrest, and shouted, "Rebellious girl, kneel down!"

Su Yinyue had originally wanted to find a room to treat her burns, but when she heard Aunt Yan's words, she was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking to me?"

"Are you still playing dumb in front of me?"

Aunt Yan sneered, "You broke into Qiyun Courtyard in the middle of the night and beat up my eldest sister. You have no sense of propriety. Do you know that you are wrong?"

"Su Qinning wants to burn me to death? Should I be burned to death by her?"

Su Yinyue blinked and found it funny.

When they first met, she thought Aunt Yan looked gentle, weak and delicate, the typical image of a bullied concubine.

But now it seems that she was wrong.
