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

After Su Yinyin left, Su Jianguo slumped to the ground, his heart filled with resentment.

Despite his resentment, Su Jianguo was genuinely afraid. He hadn't expected Su Yinyin to be so powerful, and the man in black beside her to be so skilled in martial arts.

This is a crucial moment. Let's not provoke her yet. If she wants a dowry, then give it to her first.

Once everything has settled down, then we can deal with Su Yinyin.

After leaving the Marquis's residence, Su Yinyin removed her face mask and strolled leisurely down the street. She thoroughly enjoyed the quiet walk.

The older man following behind asked, "Miss, what do we do next?"

A cold glint flashed in Su Yinyin's eyes. "Su Jianguo will definitely try to raise money. Have someone keep an eye on him and see who he contacts."

"Miss, someone is following us. Do you need help?" The old man made a murderous gesture.

“If he intended to kill us, then kill him; if not, then let it go!” Su Yinyin spoke at a normal volume, but it sounded particularly loud in the quiet street.

Su Yinyin deliberately made sure the people following behind heard her. Upon hearing Su Yinyin's words, the person following her paused, clearly hesitant. The eldest brother keenly noticed this and reported to Su Yinyin in a low voice.

Su Yinyin's lips curled into a cold smile as she led Lao Yi into a small alley. A short while later, the person who had been following them caught up. Su Yinyin stopped, turned around, and faced the newcomer directly; it was Su Jianguo's servant.

"Young Miss, the young master asked me to convey a message to you: everything will be ready by tomorrow. Please arrive at the same time as tonight, and be on time tomorrow." Although the servant tried to remain calm, his voice trembled slightly.

"Heh, go back and tell Su Jianguo to be there on time tomorrow. Don't try anything funny, he'd better behave himself." Su Yinyin's expression was icy.

The servant gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran away.

The old man frowned and said, "Miss, are we just going to let him go like this?"

Su Yinyin gently shook her head. "It's alright. I want to see how many tricks Su Jianguo has up his sleeve." With that, she left gracefully.

Su Yinyin said helplessly, "Honestly, I'm just taking a walk, and everyone's staring at me. It's making me very uncomfortable. If I don't leave quickly, I might as well leave with my life."

As soon as she finished speaking, a person emerged from a small alley. Su Yinyin and Lao Yi stopped upon hearing the footsteps.

All that could be heard was, "Miss Su, it's been a long time. I am Murong Yu."

Su Yinyin looked up and saw Murong Yu, tall and imposing. "Young Master Murong, what brings you following me?" Su Yinyin asked in an unfriendly tone.

Murong Yu smiled slightly, "Miss Su, you misunderstand. We are all civilized people, and such words are too impolite! Let's not say them again. I was just passing by and happened to see Miss Su, so I wanted to come up and say hello."

Su Yinyin raised an eyebrow. "What I'm saying is nonsense. What does it have to do with Young Master Murong? I'm not some refined person. Goodbye, that's all."

Seeing that Su Yinyin was about to leave, Murong Yu took a step closer and said, "Miss Su, is it possible for us to cooperate? You can name your terms. Although I am not very talented, I do have some influence and am willing to lend you a hand."

Su Yinyin sized him up, secretly wondering what Murong Yu was up to by suddenly showing goodwill.

After a moment, Su Yinyin slowly spoke, "I appreciate Young Master Murong's kindness, but I don't need any help." With that, she led the old man around Murong Yu and left.

Murong Yu watched her departing figure, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, and murmured softly, "An interesting woman."

After the two had walked away, the old man couldn't help but ask, "Miss, should we kill Murong Yu?"

Su Yinyin snorted, "Oldest brother, stop with all the fighting!"

"I'll do as you say, Miss," the old man said respectfully.

Su Yinyin and Lao Yi walked to a street not far from the Su residence. Su Yinyin suddenly said, "Lao Yi, I was wrong. Kill those who deserve it, don't hesitate. Remember, spare one to go back and report. Don't reveal your strength!"

In the darkness, countless assassins sprang out. The old man responded and charged towards the group of assassins like a ghost.

Su Yinyin stood aside, calmly observing the situation. She saw that Lao Yi was agile and each move was deadly. Although the assassins outnumbered her, they were unable to harm Lao Yi for the time being.

However, as the battle continued, new assassins kept pouring in from all directions.

Just then, the sound of hooves came from afar, and a white horse galloped towards them. The person on the horse was none other than Murong Yu.

He charged into the fray, longsword in hand, his swordsmanship fierce and deadly, and assassins fell one after another in an instant. Su Yinyin frowned, wondering why this guy was here again.

While fighting, Murong Yu shouted, "Miss Su, it seems I still need to help you."

“He can handle it without you.” Su Yinyin snorted coldly, but did not stop him.

Before long, most of the assassins were dead or wounded. The remaining few, seeing the situation was dire, turned to flee. Just as the eldest was about to give chase, Su Yinyin raised her hand to stop him.

Murong Yu sheathed his sword and walked towards Su Yinyin, smiling, "Miss Su, would you like to reconsider my proposal now?"

Su Yinyin looked at him, a hint of scrutiny in her eyes, and after a moment said, "Young Master Murong, there's no need to discuss this matter further. Although you didn't need to intervene today, thank you!"

After saying that, she led the old man towards the Su residence. Murong Yu watched her back and a smile appeared on his lips.

In the imperial palace, in the bedroom of the imperial concubines and noble ladies.

"What?" the Imperial Noble Consort exclaimed.

"Your Highness, Miss Su is protected by secret guards," the assassin leader said.

The Imperial Noble Consort was so angry that she smashed her teacup on the ground. "The assassin I carefully arranged has failed! Were the secret guards protecting Su Yinyin A Yuan's men?" The maid beside her trembled with fear and dared not speak.

"Your Highness, judging from that man's martial arts style, he is not one of the Regent's men," the assassin leader replied honestly.

"What extraordinary encounters has Su Yinyin had in the past few years? Or what other identity does she have?" The Imperial Noble Consort pondered for a moment, her eyes growing increasingly sinister. "No matter whose person she is, Su Yinyin must die."

After returning to her residence, Su Yinyin was also pondering the matter. She knew that this assassination attempt must have been orchestrated by someone. "First Master, strengthen the defenses of the residence; things are unlikely to be peaceful for some time," Su Yinyin instructed. The First Master nodded in agreement.

Su Yinyin said, "Old Yi, go and investigate who ordered these assassins today, and pay special attention to whether they are related to anyone in the palace."

"Miss, I just received a message." The old man handed the note he had just received to Su Yinyin.

After Su Yinyin opened the note, she said, "Hmph, how interesting. Imperial Noble Consort, I have truly underestimated you!"

"Miss…!"

"Pass this message on to Regent Zhou Yuan. I'd really like to see how he handles it!"
