Reincarnated as the Abandoned Daughter of a Marquis's Mansion: I Take Control of My Life

Great Zhou Kingdom

In the courtyard of the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion, amidst the cold wind and drizzle, Su Yinyin knelt, wearing only a thin garment, holding her newborn baby in her arms.

The baby was only wrapped in a thin garment, and in the chaos and with the new mother in the situation, the baby's hands and feet were exposed outside the garment.

The cold wind and biting rain made the baby wave its hands and feet constantly, trying to gain more warmth.

The crying only intensified Su Yinyin's despair.

Su Yinyin bent over, hugging herself tightly, trying her best to shield the child from the cold rain, constantly adjusting her position to give the child more warmth.

Su Yinyin didn't realize that her thin, wet clothes only brought a bone-chilling cold to herself and her child. This cold seeped into their skin and penetrated to their bones.

Su Yinyin tried to comfort herself, but her body trembled involuntarily; it was just too cold.

Standing in the courtyard were the elders of Su Yinyin's clan.

No one pitied the mother and daughter, not even their own parents! Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, not a single pity or hesitation was shown to Su Yinyin. Only a chillingly cold gaze met their eyes.

In their eyes, the person kneeling there was someone who brought them shame.

Su Yinyin was simple-minded. She believed that with the love her father, mother and brother had for her, even if she was abandoned by her family and executed, she would still be able to live a good life.

A father will make proper arrangements for his own child, after all, the child is innocent.

But she underestimated human nature in this era. Such behavior would get ordinary people thrown into pig cages.

Moreover, powerful families would not hesitate to abandon or execute them.

She had no hope for herself, but in order to save her child, Su Yinyin could only hold the child and keep kowtowing and begging for mercy, her forehead bleeding from the repeated kowtows, but she dared not stop.

Su Yinyin tried her best to explain to her father. But a woman who had just given birth and whose body was not yet cleaned up, had no strength to fight for herself.

Unable to look towards her loved ones in the courtyard, she hoped they would have pity on her child.

When Su Yinhan met her older brother Su Jianguo's gaze, it was not only cold indifference, but also conveyed the message, "I don't have a shameless sister like you, and I don't have a sister like you who got pregnant out of wedlock."

Meanwhile, his own father, the "Marquis," gritted his teeth, his face filled with rage, and shouted, "Expel him from the Marquis's mansion, give him fifty strokes of the cane, and throw him and the little bastard into a mass grave."

The Marquis was unwilling to linger for even a moment; the humiliation brought upon him by his legitimate daughter filled him with resentment.

Upon hearing that the child would be thrown into a mass grave, Su Yinyin was filled with despair. Why was her father so heartless? That child was, after all, her father's grandson!

All her relatives and friends, some of them were kicking her when she was down, and no one pleaded for Su Yinyin. They felt that even glancing at her would offend their eyes.

The servants, upon hearing the order, acted in an orderly fashion. They then rushed over and snatched the child away.

Su Yinyin used all her strength, but she couldn't resist.

Soon after, a series of thuds and muffled pains were heard.

Su Yinyin looked at her brother and sister in despair, unable to understand why they were so heartless.

The eldest brother watched quietly for a while, his thoughts unknown. He moved his lips, but ultimately turned and left with a look of disappointment.

In the end, only her younger sister and stepmother remained.

Thirty. The servant counted the number of strokes carefully. Su Yinyin's vision slowly blurred, her head buzzed, and she was in so much pain that her face contorted, with blood constantly flowing from the corner of her mouth.

I feel like I'm about to die. I can't stop worrying about my child. What will happen to my child? He/She was only born a few days ago, he/she won't even have a chance to grow up, let alone see the world.

I'm not reconciled, I'm so unwilling to accept this! How could Heaven be so unfair to me? Heaven, please open your eyes!

Who is it that has caused me such suffering? My child, may you be reborn into a good family in your next life.

The baby had completely stopped crying. In such cold weather, soaked by the rain, and without a drop of water, it would either freeze to death or starve.

"Miss, she's not well, she's probably dying soon," the servant reported, looking at Su Yinyin's condition.

"Stop," a soft voice said.

"All of you, get out of my way!" The servants immediately stepped back.

Su Yinyin heard a familiar voice. She struggled to open her eyes and slowly raised her head, only to see her younger sister, Su Yinhan, slowly bending down and lowering her head.

Holding a handkerchief, she casually wiped the corners of her eyes, and with a sob in her voice, she loudly blamed herself, saying, "Sister, does it hurt? You've done such a despicable thing, I can't save you."

I also knelt down and begged my father and mother for mercy. My father had high hopes for my older sister, but she...!

Sigh, this matter has become the talk of the town. Father had no choice!

"Sister, please don't blame your younger sister. I'm just a nobody!" From an angle where no one could see, she raised the corners of her lips in disdain.

Anyone with a keen eye could see that this younger sister was a scheming woman, not a particularly skilled actress, but certainly cunning and vicious. Unfortunately, Su Yinyin trusted her sister too much and couldn't see through her tricks.

The reason I spoke so loudly was so that the servants could hear me. Look how kind my own sister is!

Upon hearing this, Su Yinyin felt as if something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.

Su Yinyin's mind went blank, and her eyes slowly became unfocused.

No way, you can't take it this badly? We haven't even said the most exciting thing yet, don't die yet!

Su Yinhan reached out and brushed Su Yinyin's hair that had fallen across her forehead back, speaking in a contemptuous and sinister voice.

"Sister, you are so stupid! You were completely fooled by Mother and me, and you didn't even know it!"

You don't know this, do you? All your bad reputations outside are carefully crafted by your mother and me.

Oh, and the disappointment your brother and father feel towards you is also our doing.

The man you lost your virginity to was someone I had someone find for you—a dirty, smelly beggar. He gave him to you. Did he taste good?

I originally thought that since you lost your virginity, I would expose it, ruin your reputation, and make you spend the rest of your life in obscurity.

Before I could make up my mind, you became pregnant out of wedlock. So I decided that you should give birth to the child. Now you understand why you were sent to the countryside, right?

Just as you're about to give birth, we'll bring you back. You'll give birth to this bastard in the Marquis's mansion. Wouldn't that be exciting?

Su Yinhan slowly stood up, looking down at the good-for-nothing who was about to die, feeling extremely pleased.

In the quiet courtyard, only a scream could be heard, "Ahhhhhh... Why, why are you treating me like this? I'm your own sister!"

Su Yinyin looked at her younger sister, whom she had loved for thirteen years, in disbelief.

Why is my sister so cruel?

My arrogance, viciousness, and incompetence were all carefully crafted personas by my sister and stepmother.

"Hehehehehe, Su Yinhan, why? We're sisters!" She raised her head, her eyes glaring angrily at her devilish younger sister.

Su Yinhan lowered her head and whispered, "I love the Third Prince."

Your mother is blocking my mother's way!

Your sister is blocking my way!
