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

Chapter 318 The End (Part 2)

Su Yinyin snorted coldly and said without any mercy, "Madam Lin, how can anyone believe your daughter's one-sided story?"

"Words are meaningless; we need evidence. It's naive of you to expect us to believe your daughter's words without proof."

Mrs. Lin was speechless for a moment, rendered speechless by Su Yinyin's retort, and did not know how to refute her.

Just then, Su Yinyin said again, "You should announce to the public that you and my cousin have no marital relationship whatsoever, and that it's all a lie you made up to marry into the Duke's mansion."

For the sake of our past acquaintance, we'll let it go.

Lin Jiao and her wife's faces turned very ugly upon hearing this.

With the duck about to fly away from their mouths, how could they give up so easily? They were determined to cling to the Duke's mansion as their lifeline.

Seeing that they remained unmoved, Su Yinyin smiled slightly and said confidently, "Madam Lin, this is the best solution I can offer."

"If you disagree, we will report this to the authorities. As you know, this princess possesses a Truth-Telling Pill. I will administer it to Lin Jiao in the government office, and the truth will surely come to light."

Upon hearing the words "Truth Pill," Lin Jiao's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled slightly.

She knew that if she really took the Truth Pill, all her lies would be exposed, the Lin family would be disgraced, and she herself would be ruined.

But she still held onto a sliver of hope and stubbornly retorted, "Hmph, I'm not lying, don't try to scare me with this!"

Su Yinyin sneered, took out a delicate little porcelain bottle from her sleeve, and gently shook it in her hand. The pills inside collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

It seemed like a warning to Lin Jiao. "Miss Lin, you can try it. Once you take this Truth-Telling Pill, whatever you want to hide, you will involuntarily tell the truth."

By then, everyone in the capital will know that you, Lin Jiao, used despicable means to try and curry favor with the Duke's mansion.

Do you think the Lin family's reputation can be preserved? Where will your Lin family's face be placed?

Upon hearing this, Lord Lin and his wife immediately panicked.

Lord Lin had learned in detail from his colleagues about the miraculous effects of the Truth-Telling Pill, and had even mentioned it to his wife.

They had simply overlooked the matter of the Truth Pill, assuming that once the deed was done, everything was settled and a done deal.

But then they thought, so what if they took the Truth Pill? They were convinced that Lin Jiao had indeed been violated by Li Yanche, and the two of them became self-righteous again.

Little did they know that the person Lin Jiao was having a marital relationship with was not Li Yanche, but someone else entirely.

Actually, before Su Yinyin and Li Lan entered the hall, Su Yinyin had already learned from Lao Qi that there was someone else having an affair with Lin Jiao, and that this person had also been caught by Lao Qi.

Therefore, Su Yinyin and Li Lan clearly knew that Lin Jiao was plotting against Li Yanche.

Lin Jiao could no longer sit still. She knew in her heart that once she took the Truth Pill, everything would be exposed, and the consequences would be something she could not afford.

She suddenly knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and pleaded, "Princess Protector of the Nation, please have mercy and spare me!"

I was completely blinded by greed to come up with such a terrible idea. I'll declare to the public that I fabricated it and will no longer bother General Li."

Seeing this, Lin Jiao's parents didn't understand what she was doing and were about to argue with her when Lin Jiao quickly stopped them.

Lin Jiao knew that once she took the Truth Pill, her shameful affair with another man and her attempt to frame Li Yanche would be completely exposed. At that time, not only would the Lin family lose face, but she herself would also be doomed.

She can still tell the public that it was a misunderstanding...

Su Yinyin looked at Lin Jiao kneeling on the ground with an icy expression and said without any mercy, "Lin Jiao, you'd better make things clear in front of everyone here. Don't go back on your word later."

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Jiao gritted her teeth and finally said, "The one I have consummated my marriage with is not General Li."

Lord Lin and his wife looked at Lin Jiao in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock and anger.

Madam Lin was so angry that she slapped Lin Jiao across the face and yelled, "You good-for-nothing! What are you up to?!"

Lin Jiao covered her slapped face, tears streaming down her face.

Now she regrets it; she shouldn't have acted impulsively. She shouldn't have been misled by Lin Li, and she shouldn't have overestimated her abilities.

Su Yinyin pressed her advantage and said directly, "First, you must immediately issue a statement admitting that you fabricated the lie that you had a marital relationship with General Li."

He publicly apologized to General Li and the Duke's Mansion, and promised not to cause any further trouble or harm to them.

Secondly, you need to post notices in the most bustling area of ​​the capital, making your mistake public as a warning to others.

Let everyone know that those who attempt to gain advantage through illegitimate means will ultimately fail.

Lin Jiao looked troubled, but when she thought of the power of the Truth Pill, she could only grit her teeth and agree, "Yes, Princess, I will do as you say."

Her voice was filled with helplessness and resentment.

Although Madam Lin was dissatisfied, she dared not say anything more and could only glare fiercely at Lin Jiao.

Lord Lin's face turned ashen; he was both angry and annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

The Duke then looked at Madam Lin and Lord Lin, and said seriously, "Lord Lin, Madam Lin, I hope you can properly discipline your daughter in this matter."

If she dares to commit such evil deeds again in the future, don't blame our Duke's Mansion for showing no mercy.

"Then, we won't let it go so easily like we did today."

Lord Lin quickly bowed and apologized, saying, "Yes, Your Excellency is right. I will definitely discipline Jiao'er properly so that she will not misbehave again."

Lin Jiao slowly stood up, her eyes filled with resentment and bitterness, but she dared not show it and could only endure it.

She helped Madam Lin up, and as she and Lord Lin were about to leave...

At this moment, Lao Qi threw the man who was having an affair with Lin Jiao in front of Lin Jiao and the others.

Su Yinyin looked at Lin Jiao and asked coldly, "You don't want this man anymore?"

Lin Jiao took a closer look, and her face instantly turned ashen white. Her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground again.

Madam Lin and Lord Lin stared at the man in astonishment, and they instantly understood everything.

Lin Jiao was both shocked and frightened, and shouted loudly, "I don't want to, I don't want to!" After saying that, she quickly fled the hall.

Seeing this, Lord Lin and his wife could only slink away from the Duke's mansion.

After they left, the Duchess breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

She stepped forward, took Su Yinyin's hand, and said gratefully, "Yinyin, we owe you so much this time. If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't know how to resolve this trouble. Lin Jiao is just too much!"

Su Yinyin smiled and comforted her, "Auntie, you can handle things perfectly even without me. You're giving me a chance to practice."

Everyone knows the truth in their hearts; they just need an opportunity to reveal it.

Li Yanche also came over and said with a grateful look, "Yinyin, this time it's really thanks to you for coming up with such a thoughtful solution, otherwise I would have been speechless and unable to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River."

Su Yinyin winked mischievously and said with a smile, "Cousin, you have to be careful in the future, and don't give these people any more opportunities."

It was only because I had the Truth Pill that I was able to resolve this matter so quickly.

Cousin, you are a handsome and talented man, and you are already a third-rank general at a young age. There are countless women who want to marry you.

You'd better settle your marriage as soon as possible, so these troublesome people won't bother you anymore.

Upon hearing this, Li Yanche blushed to the roots of his ears and said shyly, "It's all up to Grandmother and Mother to decide."

After saying that, she left quickly and shyly, like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing Li Yanche's shy appearance, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere in the front hall became much more relaxed and pleasant.

Time flies, and October arrived quickly, bringing Li Yanche's wedding day.

Li Yanche married a princess who had long harbored a secret crush on him and had secretly expressed her feelings for him.

She made many efforts in order to marry Li Yanche, and finally got her wish and married the man she loved.

Li Yanche had a very good impression of his wife.

On the wedding day, the Duke's mansion was brightly decorated and bustling with activity. Guests came to offer their congratulations, and laughter echoed throughout the mansion, creating a festive atmosphere.
