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

Chapter 312 Meeting Murong Fu Again

Everyone turned to look, and saw a group of people rushing towards them.

The dust billowed up behind them like a long tail.

Su Yinyin felt a chill run down her spine and became secretly on guard, wondering which force this was, and whether it was friend or foe.

Upon seeing this, the leader in black was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior descend upon him.

But as the group of people drew closer and he saw who they were, he was filled with mixed emotions. Just as he had expected, it was his master who had come.

The newcomer was a young gentleman, dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with a long sword at his waist, and possessing an extraordinary air.

He pulled on the reins, and the horse reared up on its forelegs, letting out a neigh.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, he became anxious and hurriedly said, "Princess Protector, please have mercy!"

Su Yinyin looked closely and saw that the person who came was Murong Fu.

She was slightly taken aback, and quickly recalled that Murong Fu had once given her some help.

Su Yinyin's cold expression softened slightly as she looked at Murong Fu, a hint of doubt in her eyes. She asked, "Young Master Murong, what is the meaning of this?"

Murong Fu dismounted swiftly and cleanly.

He strode up to Su Yinyin, bowed respectfully, and said with a guilty expression, "Princess Protector of the Nation, I am truly sorry."

These people are all guards in my residence, because that batch of gold is of great significance to me, Murong Fu.

They acted rashly in a moment of confusion, and have offended many people. They hope the princess will forgive them. His tone was sincere, and his eyes revealed deep apology.

Su Yinyin frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased. "Young Master Murong, we have a history of friendship. If you have any difficulties, you can simply tell me directly."

Why send these people to forcibly demand it, and with such a tense standoff that almost ruined the harmony? Your actions have truly disappointed me.”

Murong Fu looked guilty and quickly said, "Princess, please forgive me. Let's pretend nothing happened before, okay?"

I am fully aware that my actions were inappropriate, and I hope that Your Highness will be magnanimous and forgive their ignorance and impulsiveness.

Murong Fu knew in his heart that he had already witnessed Su Yinyin's ruthless methods and extraordinary abilities.

She had free access to the palace of the Great Yan Kingdom and could secretly empty his father's treasury.

Then, at the same time, they looted Murong Yu's warehouse without being noticed.

Who in the world possesses such ability?

In other words, if Su Yinyin wanted to kill someone, it would be an incredibly easy thing to do.

He did not want to be her enemy; on the contrary, he longed to live peacefully with her, or even become her friend. He also wanted to use Su Yinyin's power to ascend the throne of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Seeing Murong Fu's guilty expression, Su Yinyin pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "Since Young Master Murong is so sincere, I will not pursue the matter any further."

We both know the truth, so let's not bring this up again. I hope you remember today's lesson and never do anything so foolish again.

Murong Fu nodded hastily, as if pounding garlic, "Of course, of course. I am deeply grateful for the princess's magnanimity. I will remember the princess's teachings and dare not offend her again."

Su Yinyin glanced at the men in black lying around her, her brows furrowing slightly. She said with a hint of sarcasm, "These guards need some proper training. It's laughable that they dare to rob people with such poor skills."

"If it weren't for your sake, none of them would be alive today."

Murong Fu smiled awkwardly, a slight blush creeping onto his face. "It was my fault for not disciplining them properly; please forgive me, Princess. I will definitely strengthen their training when I return, so that they will not dare to slack off again."

Although the leader in black was in a sorry state, he was still somewhat unwilling and couldn't help but say, "Master, they killed so many of us, are you just going to let them go like this?"

His eyes were filled with resentment as he stared intently at Su Yinyin and the others.

"Shut up! I have already instructed you not to provoke the Princess Protector, but you have ignored my words."

"Such disobedience...for the sake of your many years of service to me, you may leave."

"Murong Fu said angrily. He knew in his heart that these people always only obeyed his mother's orders."

After his mother passed away, he had no choice but to obey him, but he always harbored resentment towards him.

Their rash actions this time were probably intended to prove their so-called "loyalty" to him, but in reality they wanted to do things their own way and didn't take his words seriously at all.

Upon hearing Murong Fu's words, the leader in black turned deathly pale, as white as a sheet of paper.

He knelt down with a thud, his eyes filled with pleading, "Master, we..."

But when he saw Murong Fu's cold eyes, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

He knew in his heart that there was no point in saying anything more, and he could only accept this reality.

He gritted his teeth and finally led the remaining men in black away in a dejected manner, their backs looking incredibly lonely.

Watching their departing figures, Su Yinyin frowned slightly and turned to Murong Fu, saying, "Young Master Murong, it seems your subordinates are not entirely loyal to you. If this continues, it could become a future problem. You need to be more careful."

Murong Fu sighed helplessly, his eyes revealing a hint of weariness and despair. "Princess, please understand. These people were originally my mother's confidants. After my mother passed away, although they outwardly obeyed me, they still harbored resentment in their hearts."

Their rash actions this time are probably intended to prove their 'loyalty' to me, but in reality, they want to do things their own way.

I've been troubled by this for a long time, but I don't know how to solve it.

Su Yinyin's heart stirred. It seemed that Murong Fu's situation in the Great Yan Kingdom was also quite difficult, which might become an opportunity for their cooperation. "Young Master Murong, it is indeed not easy to be in this vortex of power struggles."

However, if you truly aspire to achieve great things, you must first reform your internal structure and earn the genuine respect and loyalty of your subordinates. Otherwise, even with numerous opportunities, success will be difficult to attain.

Murong Fu looked at Su Yinyin with admiration and gratitude in his eyes, as if he had seen a ray of light in the darkness. "What the princess says is absolutely right."

Fu had been troubled by this matter, but today the princess's words of enlightenment were like a sudden awakening.

Having only recently entered the realm of power struggles, I am still unsure how to proceed and hope that the princess will generously offer her guidance.

Su Yinyin smiled slightly, a smile as warm as the spring sun, giving people warmth and hope. "It's not a matter of giving you guidance. Since we are friends, I'll give you this as compensation."

As she spoke, Su Yinyin took out several exquisite bottles from her bosom and handed them to Murong Fu.

Murong Fu hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it decisively.

He looked at the bottle in his hand, filled with curiosity, wondering what was inside.

Su Yinyin said with a smile, "Leave the Great Zhou Kingdom as soon as possible. I can't guarantee I won't inform the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Until we meet again."

After saying that, she led the old man into the carriage. The carriage slowly started moving, its wheels turning and making a creaking sound.

Murong Fu held the bottles, watching Su Yinyin's departing carriage, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He knew that although Su Yinyin's actions seemed to be driving him away, they might also be a form of subtle protection.

After all, he had led his men to intercept Su Yinyin on the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom. If the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom found out, it would probably bring him great trouble.

He looked down at the bottle in his hand, filled with doubt.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he leaped up and quickly caught up with Su Yinyin's carriage, asking curiously, "Princess, what's in this bottle?"

Su Yinyin's calm voice came from inside the carriage: "These are some specially made pills that can enhance your skills. They might be of help to you in a critical moment."

There are also some antidotes that can cure all poisons. Keep them safe; we can discuss important matters together another time when the opportunity arises.

I hope these things will be helpful to you and help you achieve great things.

Murong Fu was overjoyed, as if a long drought had been relieved by rain.

He patted the bottle on his chest as if it were his treasure, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to the carriage, and said with tears of gratitude, "Thank you for your generous gift, Princess. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

"If one day I succeed in my great undertaking, I will never forget the princess's kindness today."

Only after Su Yinyin's carriage disappeared from sight did Murong Fu turn around and leave with his men.

Along the way, he pondered to himself that although the gold was gone, he had achieved some kind of understanding with Su Yinyin, which could be considered a gain.

Upon returning to the Great Yan Kingdom, he planned to utilize the gifts from Su Yinyin to quickly enhance his strength, reorganize his internal forces, and make full preparations for his future endeavors.

As Su Yinyin sat in the carriage, her mood gradually calmed down.

She knew that although Murong Fu had left temporarily, they might have opportunities to cooperate in the future.

Although she yearns for freedom and longs to live a carefree life.

But for her baby and family, she is willing to do her best to pave the way for them so that they can live in a stable and peaceful environment.

The carriage slowly entered the capital city, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going.

The shops along the street were open as usual, and the shopkeepers' faces were full of smiles, with shouts of their sales pitches rising and falling.

It seems that things have calmed down in the capital, and everyone has returned to their normal lives.
