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

Chapter 55 The Lady of the Marquis's Mansion is to Take Action

When Su Yinhan arrived at the Marquis of Yongyi's residence and met her mother, she told her mother about her experiences at the Duke's residence.

"I am, after all, the Duke's niece. That vile woman won't let me in. Mother, have they discovered something?" Su Yinhan voiced her doubts.

All the way there, she kept thinking about this question and couldn't figure it out. When she returned to the Prince's Mansion, the Prince asked if she had seen the Duke. What should she say? She should say that she hadn't even entered the Duke's Mansion!

"Yinhan, did you send someone to the Duke's mansion to deliver a visiting card yesterday?"

"I...I forgot." Su Yinhan lowered her head, feeling somewhat guilty. She couldn't very well say that she deliberately didn't have someone deliver the invitation because she considered herself superior.

"Oh, you silly child, how could you be so foolish?" Lady Hou sighed helplessly. "However, things are indeed a bit strange at the Duke's mansion. In the past, when you and that wretched Su Yinyin visited the Duke's mansion together, you were never turned away. Could it be that, as you say, they have discovered something?"

The mother and daughter didn't even consider that when the Duchess of the Duke's Mansion was still in the capital, Su Yinyin would always present a visiting card in advance whenever she visited, demonstrating impeccable manners. Which elder wouldn't appreciate that?

Furthermore, the current Duchess of the Duke's Mansion now knows that Su Yinhan is not only not the Duke's sister's biological daughter, but also a swindler who switched the baby and caused Su Yinyin such a terrible fate.

If Su Yinyin hadn't instructed the Duke's mansion to remain inactive, Su Yinhan would have been in serious trouble today.

Su Yinhan's face turned pale. She grasped the Lady of the Marquis's hand and asked anxiously, "Mother, what should we do now? If the Duke's mansion really discovers something, wouldn't we be in great danger?"

Lady Hou remained silent for a moment, a resolute glint in her eyes: "No matter what, we can't just sit here and wait to die. Since the Duke's mansion refuses to see us, we'll take the initiative. I'll find a way to get close to the Duchess and sound her out. As for you, don't go to the Duke's mansion anytime soon, lest you alert them."

Su Yinyin said anxiously, "But the Prince asked me to win over the Duke as soon as possible. Now I can't even enter the Duke's mansion. How can I explain this to the Prince!"

After a moment of deep thought, the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion slowly said, "No rush. I'll have someone deliver the visiting card now. I'll see the Duchess first and then make further plans."

Seeing that her mother was going to take charge personally, Su Yinhan felt relieved and stopped worrying about it.

Suddenly remembering something, Su Yinhan asked, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Mother. Mother, the Divine Physician's auction is in two days. How are your preparations going?"

The Lady of the Marquis's Mansion is in a real predicament. The Marquis's Mansion is now struggling to make ends meet, and it is already very difficult to maintain the expenses of the mansion.

After giving Su Yinhan a large sum of money for the auction, Madam Hou sighed helplessly, "Han'er, you know the current situation of the manor. We really can't afford to give out much more money."

Su Yinhan immediately became anxious upon hearing this, "How can this be? Without the miracle doctor's treatment, how can my face be restored to its original state?"

Lady Hou quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Han'er. I will do everything I can to get the money. But right now, we need to deal with the Duke's affairs first."

Just then, a servant came to report that the Duke's mansion had sent a reply, inviting the Lady of the Marquis to visit the mansion the next day.

Lady Hou was secretly delighted, but remained outwardly calm. "I understand. You may leave." She turned to Su Yinhan and said, "Han'er, don't worry, your mother will definitely help you get treatment from the divine physician."

Hearing the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion speak so confidently, Su Yinyin was very curious and asked, "What is Mother's method?"

The Lady of the Marquis's Mansion said mysteriously, "You'll find out tomorrow. Go back to the Prince's Mansion now and appease him properly. Don't lose his heart." The Lady of the Marquis's Mansion looked at Su Yinhan and added, "When you go out now, put on your veil."

"Mom, I know!" Su Yinhan replied, looking aggrieved.

Yong'an Prince's Mansion

As soon as Su Yinhan stepped into the Prince's mansion, she saw the prince's servant waiting at the gate.

Upon seeing Su Yinhan return to the manor, the servant immediately stepped forward to greet her. "This servant greets Consort Su. His Highness is waiting for Consort Su in the study."

Su Yinhan was secretly delighted; it seemed the prince still cared about her. She quickly walked to the study, pushed open the door, and saw the prince standing with his hands behind his back, his back to her.

Su Yinhan called softly, "Your Highness..."

The prince turned around, looking at her coldly, "So you still know how to come back?"

Su Yinhan felt a pang of pain in her heart and quickly explained, "Your Highness, I went to see my mother and the Duke today."

The prince asked anxiously, "How is the Duke?"

Su Yinhan didn't know how to answer. Should she tell the prince that she hadn't even entered the Duke's mansion? She was the Duke's niece and only granddaughter. Would they believe her if she told them?

What to do? What to do? Su Yinhan decided to conceal the truth for the time being, so she said, "The Duke is doing well, thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Upon hearing this, the prince's expression softened slightly, but a hint of doubt remained. Su Yinhan quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, I have a favor to ask of you."

The prince looked at her and asked, "What is it?"

Su Yinhan feigned pitifulness and said, "Ever since my face has changed so drastically, I've been feeling down. Would Your Highness be willing to accompany me for a walk in the garden to ease my mind?"

After considering it for a moment, the prince finally nodded in agreement.

Su Yinhan was secretly delighted. She thought that as long as she could buy time, she could receive treatment from the divine physician after her mother went to see the Duke's wife tomorrow, restore her appearance, and win back the prince's heart.

What Prince Yong'an wants is the support of the Duke's Mansion, plus the support of the Marquis's Mansion, which would make his path to power easier. If he could also gain the support of the Regent, that position would be a piece of cake.

At the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), a large adult and a small child were sitting in Su Yinyin's room. Neither of them wanted to leave Su Yinyin's room.

Su Yinyin said helplessly, "A Yuan, why haven't you returned to the palace yet?"

Zhou Yuan said ingratiatingly, "Wherever Ayin and her son are, that's my home!"

Su Baobao, sitting to the side, rolled her eyes at Zhou Yuan and said, "Sycophant!"

“Son, your mother is a woman. If we say nice things to her, she will be happy. When she is happy, she will be in a good mood. When she is in a good mood, she will find us pleasing to the eye.”

Just as Su Yinyin was about to say something, she heard a knock on the door.

Su Yinyin walked over and opened the door. Bixia stepped forward and whispered a few words in Su Yinyin's ear.

Su Yinyin's expression changed repeatedly, and she instructed Bixia to go and make preparations.

She returned to her room and said to the two people inside, "Son, your mother is going out for a few days. You and your father wait for your mother to come back at home."

Zhou Ayuan didn't know what had happened that required Su Yinyin to go out. He was very worried and wanted to go with her. "Ayin, I'll go with you."

Su Yinyin refused, saying, "No need, Bixia and I will go. You stay home and take good care of our son!"

Su Baobao was used to Su Yinyin going out. "Mom, when are you leaving?"

"Let's set off now, and wait for Mom to bring Auntie back!"

Upon hearing this, both of their eyes lit up, knowing that Su Yinyin was going to take care of something important.

Zhou Yuan was still very worried. "Ayin, I'll send people to protect you."

"No need, I can protect myself. You all wait for me at home."
