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

The Marquis frowned and shouted, "Men, clean this place up!"

The servants hurriedly went inside to tidy up, while the Marquis stood outside waiting. Soon, the cleaning was finished, and the Marquis ordered his servants to help his wife outside. Exhausted, the Marquis collapsed to the ground. The Marquis saw his wife's disheveled state.

Upon seeing the Marquis, Lady Hou cried out as if grasping at a straw: "My lord, I have suffered such humiliation, all because of that concubine and Su Yinyin. You must do justice for me!"

The Marquis's face betrayed no emotion; he simply said, "I have my own judgment."

The Marquis believed that all these incidents were the work of his concubines, who were vying for his affections. He then rebuked them, "Look at what you've done!"

At this moment, following the plan taught by Su Yinyin, the concubine hurriedly ran over and pretended to fall at the Marquis's feet, crying and saying, "My lord, I have no choice. These are not what I wanted."

“I know all your little tricks, and I won’t expose them. But what you did today is really, really…! If word gets out, what face will the Marquis’s mansion have left?”

Upon hearing the Marquis's rebuke, the concubine wept bitterly. The concubine was beautiful and well-maintained; her pitiful appearance deeply moved the Marquis.

"My lord, this has nothing to do with me! My lord, please listen to my words, I came to visit Madam with good intentions. However, I never expected to be so unlucky as to encounter two men in black here with Madam."

The two men ordered me to prepare these things. They said they would kill you if I didn't do as they said.

While I hesitated, the two men threatened me again. They said they would kill the Marquis if I didn't do as they instructed.

Despite the large number of guards in the Marquis's residence, they failed to spot the two individuals.

Although the Marquis is protected by skilled guards, I cannot take that risk. If anything were to happen to the Marquis, I would not survive either. Therefore, I can only trouble you, Madam!

"Is this true?" The Marquis stared at his concubine.

The concubine said with absolute certainty, "It is absolutely true. I would never dare to deceive you, my lord. You are my everything. I may deceive others, but I would never deceive you, my lord."

"I believe you, get up!"

After helping his concubine up, the Marquis turned to look at the person who disgusted him. "Madam, what do you have to say?"

Lady Hou sneered inwardly; this concubine was putting on quite a show.

She slowly curtsied and knelt down, saying softly, "My lord, I was perfectly fine in my room when two men in black suddenly barged in. I was terrified, but then I saw the concubine exchange a few words with them, and then the two men disappeared. After that, the concubine ordered people to bring these so-called evidence to slander me."

The Marquis frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two women. The concubine hurriedly cried out, "My lord, this is slander against me! How could I possibly have the ability to command men in black?"

"My lord, I have something else to say, but I don't know if I should?" The concubine grabbed the marquis's sleeve and spoke in a coquettish voice.

The Marquis felt a strong urge to take his concubine back to her room as he looked at her.

The concubine saw the Marquis's gaze and understood its meaning. Her face flushed even more. Her eyes glanced at the Marquis, intentionally or unintentionally.

The Marquis's tone softened, "Speak!"

"As soon as I arrived at the room and opened the door, I saw a man in black standing next to the lady. I was terrified by the man in black."

My feet and mouth wouldn't obey me, and I was still wondering what to do.

Suddenly, the lady shouted, "Impossible! Impossible! How could Su Yinyin not be dead? Revenge, My Lord!"

The Marquis was startled upon hearing this.

"Su Yinyin? Why does that name sound so familiar?" Upon seeing this, the concubine's eyes darted around, and she said, "My lord, could this Su Yinyin be someone that the madam was jealous of before? Otherwise, why would the madam be so agitated when she mentions her?" The lord frowned and fell into deep thought.

This concubine was only brought into the household after Su Yinyin's accident. Moreover, after this incident, the Marquis ordered that no one was allowed to mention the name Su Yinyin in the mansion.

As time went by, the discussions from the outside world gradually faded away.

Therefore, it is quite normal that this concubine did not know.

The Marquis's face darkened. "Go back to your own courtyard. I have matters to attend to."

"This concubine takes her leave." The concubine couldn't wait to get away from this smelly place.

As the concubine turned to leave, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.

After the concubine left, the Marquis instructed the maid to clean the Lady of the Marquis and then send her back to her own courtyard.

The Marquis returned to his study, pondering his concubine's words. A tightness gripped his heart.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. It was a maid who came to report that the lady had been sent back to her courtyard.

The Marquis's face darkened, and he turned and walked towards his wife's room.

At this moment, the lady was still immersed in her own thoughts, muttering to herself. When she saw the Marquis enter, she was about to explain when the Marquis angrily said, "You'd better explain to me clearly what's going on with Su Yinyin."

"My lord, my lord, Su Yinyin is back!"

"You're having a nightmare! What Su Yinyin? Look at yourself now, acting crazy and out of control! What kind of behavior is this!"

“My lord, I have no nightmares. It is Su Yinyin who has returned to seek revenge. She is still alive.”

She's still alive? She's incredibly lucky to have survived all that. The Marquis scoffed, "So what if she's alive? Can she possibly turn the world upside down?"

Lady Hou trembled, "My lord, you are unaware of what happened back then. Su Yinyin believes that it was me and you who did it."

The Marquis's gaze sharpened. "She's the one who's being indecent, yet she's blaming us!"

Lady Hou gritted her teeth, "My lord, no matter how we explain, Yinyin won't believe us. She's going to seek revenge."

"Hmph, if she dares to come, I will make her die again. Besides, I am her biological father. What daughter would dare to assassinate her father?" The Marquis said with a face full of disdain.

Seeing this, Lady Hou hurriedly said, "My lord, do not underestimate your enemy. Yinyin seems to have helpers now, and she is ruthless. She just whipped me."

"Outrageous! You rebellious daughter! I will handle this matter myself." The Marquis was not afraid of Su Yinyin. In his memory, Su Yinyin had always been timid and submissive.

Therefore, the Marquis felt that Su Yinyin wouldn't cause much trouble.

"My lord, you must do justice for me! Those stains are clearly...!"

The Marquis interrupted her, saying, "The concubine has already explained this matter clearly, there is no need to pursue it further!"

I have decided that tomorrow, I will send someone to escort you to the manor. You will then spend the rest of your life there.

This is only out of consideration for Ming'er. I'm showing leniency because I don't want Ming'er's reputation to be damaged.
