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

Su Yinyin's lips curled into a cold smile. "Let's go and see the Marquis's concubine." Although the old man was a little puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions and silently followed behind Su Yinyin.

Arriving outside the concubine's quarters, Su Yinyin quietly approached the window. Inside, she heard the Marquis whispering, "What happened today must be kept secret."

The concubine said coquettishly, "Don't worry, my lord, I understand. But how should we deal with the mistress?"

The Marquis snorted, "If she wants to manage the Marquis's mansion, then let her manage it." The Marquis sighed again, "You should inform your master about this matter as soon as possible."

As Su Yinyin and Lao Yi saw the Marquis turn to leave, Lao Yi grabbed Su Yinyin's arm and disappeared into the night.

After the Marquis came out, the two followed him closely. The Marquis did not notice that anyone was following him and went straight to his study.

Su Yinyin's doubts grew stronger. Did this concubine have a master behind her?

Su Yinyin and Lao Yi hid in the flower bushes outside the study. They saw the Marquis enter the study, light a candle, and take out a letter from a hidden compartment behind the bookshelf.

At this moment, Su Yinyin saw the Marquis's tense expression reflected on the window paper.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the letter fluttered to the ground, flying right through the open window to Su Yinyin's feet.

Su Yinyin picked up the letter and her expression changed drastically. The letter contained the Marquis's secret plot to seize the throne, but it did not specify who the concubine's master was.

Just then, a cry of alarm came from the study, presumably from the Marquis who had discovered the letter was missing.

Su Yinyin quickly put the letter into her bosom and gestured for Lao Yi to take her away. Lao Yi used his lightness skill to carry Su Yinyin away from the study.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Old Man Yi put Su Yinyin down. Su Yinyin instructed, "Later, go and check if he has moved anything. If not, take all the letters."

"Take a closer look. I suspect that the Marquis has more than just this one place in Ang!"

Su Yinyin thought for a while, then said, "Have two people keep an eye on that concubine from earlier and find out who her master is. Lord Marquis, keep an eye on her too!"

The old man blew a whistle, and a man in black appeared in front of them.

"Greetings, Miss."

The man in black took the order and left.

After the old man finished explaining the task to the men in black, he looked at Su Yinyin and said, "Miss, this matter is dangerous. Once the Marquis discovers that the letter is missing, he will definitely investigate it thoroughly. What do you plan to do with this letter?"

Su Yinyin's gaze was firm. "This matter is not urgent. Let's see what the Marquis does next. I will then decide what to do."

Su Yinyin looked up at the moonlight and sighed, "The air was so fresh in ancient times! The moonlight is so bright!"

Su Yinyin said, "Let's go, take me to meet that fake brother."

The old man led Su Yinyin to the prince's courtyard in no time. Su Yinyin looked at the old man curiously, and the old man said, "Miss, that night, not long after the Marquis's wife had illicit relations with other men in front of him, the Marquis arranged for someone to send him back to his room."

Su Yinyin exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, is that possible? Your Excellency is truly magnanimous. It seems you love your birth mother dearly."

Without a second thought, the old man replied, "This subordinate does not know."

Su Yinyin shook her head, "What a blockhead!"

Su Yinyin saw guards standing outside the door. She took out a small bottle from her bosom and handed it to Lao Yi.

The old man took the bottle, and in a flash, the guard at the door fainted to the ground.

The young master Su Jianguo, who was inside the room, heard the noise and pushed open the door, only to have Lao Yi's sword held to his neck the instant he did so.

The speed was so fast that Prince Su Jianguo was completely unaware. Su Jianguo could only beg for mercy, "Great hero, please spare me! We have no grudge against each other. Murder is a crime!"

Seeing that the man in black remained silent, Su Jianguo grew even more panicked. Although he knew martial arts, this secret was unknown even to the Marquis. If he made a move now, wouldn't he be exposed?

Su Jianguo gritted his teeth, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Please spare my life, great hero. I have money, I can give you a lot of money, please don't kill me."

Su Jianguo noticed that Lao Yi wasn't responding to him at all, but instead kept staring at him. He knew this man was the most difficult to deal with!

He kept wondering who was trying to kill him. He had always kept it well hidden.

While he was in a state of panic and speculation.

Su Yinyin emerged from the darkness, walked up to Su Jianguo, circled him once, and sneered, "My dear brother, how have you been?"

Su Jianguo's eyes widened: "Who are you?"

Su Yinyin chuckled, "Oh dear, you can't even recognize my voice?"

Su Jianguo pondered for a moment, "Impossible, impossible, she's already dead!"

Su Yinyin chuckled and said, "Brother, why are you so scared?"

As she spoke, Su Yinyin walked into the house, sat down at the table, and faced the doorway.

The old man gestured with his eyes for Su Jianguo to walk into the room. Su Yinyin looked at Su Jianguo, who was so close to her.

In her memory, Su Yinyin deeply admired and relied on this older brother, yet he refused to help her when she was in danger.

Su Yinyin slowly removed her face mask. When her face was revealed to Su Jianguo...

When Su Jianguo saw that it was Su Yinyin, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which then turned into anger. "Su Yinyin, how dare you treat me like this! Aren't you dead?"

Su Yinyin smiled and said, "Brother, are you disappointed that I'm not dead?"

Su Jianguo said against his will, "How could that be? You're not dead. I'm happy for you."

Su Yinyin snorted coldly, "Brother, don't say things against your conscience. I bet only you believe what you're saying."

"Brother, I wonder if you were involved in what happened back then?" Su Yinyin's eyes were filled with hatred.

Su Jianguo broke out in a cold sweat and retorted, "Sister, you've misunderstood. I really didn't know anything about your affairs. If I had known, I would have definitely stopped it."

"Hmph, still lying." Su Yinyin picked up the teacup on the table and played with it. "If I hadn't been lucky enough to escape, I would have been a skeleton by now. Today, I'm here to collect my debt from you."

Su Jianguo knelt down with a thud. "Sister, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I really don't know anything about your affairs. At most, I only knew about what happened when you were beaten."

I didn't help you. But it's not like you deserve to die! But back then, I, your brother, didn't have the ability to save you!

Su Yinyin stood up and slowly walked to him. "Really? But I don't believe what you're saying. What should I do?"

Su Jianguo gritted his teeth, "As long as you don't kill me, I can give you benefits, lots and lots of gold and silver treasures!"

Su Yinyin said dismissively, "Oh, really? These things of yours must have been given to you by your biological mother, right?"

Su Jianguo was panicked and at a loss. "What did you say? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Yinyin circled around him. "Brother, don't be angry. I just want to talk to you. You weren't born to my mother, that's true, isn't it?"

Su Jianguo's face turned ashen. Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to admit it. After all, he and Su Yinyin shared the same father. Could she really have killed her blood-related brother?

So he readily admitted, "How did you know? What exactly are you trying to do?"

Su Yinyin gently patted his face: "What do I want to do? Don't you know? What exactly are you trying to achieve by impersonating a member of the Su family?"

Su Jianguo's eyes darted around: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Su Yinyin said bluntly, "You are neither my mother's biological son nor my father's biological son! I wonder if the Marquis knows about this?"
