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

In the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, a resounding slap echoed throughout the residence. The Marquis raised his hand again to strike his wife. "You poisonous woman! You've ruined my Yongyi Marquis's mansion!" the Marquis roared, his eyes wide with rage, trembling with fury.

The once grand Marquis's mansion is now almost completely empty, just a shell.

When Su Yinhan got married, I said that I couldn't give her such a large dowry.

If it weren't for that wicked woman's slander, I wouldn't be in this predicament now.

A bright red handprint immediately appeared on the lady's face. She bit her lip and remained silent.

"Father, please calm down!" A young man rushed in and helped the swaying lady up.

The Marquis was even more furious when he saw this: "You've come at the perfect time! Look at what your mother has done!"

The man looked down at his mother, then at his father. Although he didn't understand, he still sided with the weaker party.

"Father, is there some misunderstanding...?" the man tried to explain.

"A misunderstanding?!" The Marquis interrupted him. "Ask her what really happened!"

The lady raised her head and looked at the Marquis with a firm gaze: "My lord, everything I have done has been for the sake of the Marquis's manor. I have a clear conscience about what happened today."

Upon hearing this, the Marquis snorted coldly, "So you have a clear conscience! You wait, I will definitely divorce you!" With that, he turned and left.

Only the mother and son remained in the hall, and the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

"Mother, what have you done?" the man couldn't help but ask.

The lady covered her face, tears streaming down her face through her fingers. "Your elder sister's condition is getting worse and worse; ordinary doctors simply cannot cure her."

Only the Divine Physician can cure her illness, so I'm doing everything I can to raise more money. As you know, the Divine Physician's Pavilion auctions...

Upon hearing this, the man's face showed a look of heartache. "So that's how it is. I misunderstood Mother. But what about Father..."

The lady shook her head. "Don't worry, I will explain it to him myself. As long as it can save your elder sister, what does it matter if I suffer some grievances?"

"My son, why are you back at this hour? What's going on at the academy...?"

The man's eyes darted around. "Mother, the teacher dismissed us early today, so... Mother, I'm going back to my study..." He finished speaking and left without waiting for Madam Hou to reply.

As Lady Hou watched her own son's departing figure, she secretly vowed in her heart, "That position belongs to my son. It can only belong to my son."

The lady of the Marquis's mansion was listening to her maid's report when the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.

The maid asked anxiously, "Madam, what should we do?"

The Crown Prince's wife never expected that the Marquis's mansion, despite its outward appearance of grandeur, was actually just an empty shell, rotten to the core.

The Marquis's mansion is not even as good as her maternal family, yet they dare to look down on her.

Everything in the Marquis's mansion will belong to them in the future. No way! They dared to give Su Yinhan 300,000 taels of gold. That's gold! We must take it back.

The Crown Prince's wife asked the maid beside her, "Where is the Crown Prince?"

The maidservant respectfully replied, "Reporting to Madam, the young master is in the study." Although her young mistress had a fiery temper, she was a woman of her word and would not lash out at them or punish them indiscriminately.

They were the young lady's dowry maids, accompanying her into the Marquis's mansion. Originally, they all harbored the same ambition. Once the young lady became pregnant, they would have the opportunity to serve the heir apparent, become his women, and then, after bearing him a child, they would at least be half-mistresses.

But after they followed their mistress into the Marquis's mansion, they gradually realized just how wonderful their young mistress was. Without comparison, there is no hurt.

Su Yinhan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, is rumored to be beautiful and kind-hearted. In reality, that's not true at all; she's an absolute psychopath.

All the maids and servants in Su Yinhan's own courtyard had been punished. Whenever a maid or servant passed by Su Yinhan's courtyard, they could hear their pitiful pleas for mercy.

So when compared to this, all the maids around the Crown Prince's wife felt incredibly lucky, and gradually, those fantasies disappeared.

When the Crown Prince's wife arrived at the Crown Prince's study, she heard sobbing coming from inside.

The Crown Prince's wife pushed open the door and entered, only to find her husband embracing his stepmother.

The sound of the door opening startled the two people who were embracing, and they quickly separated.

Seeing that the visitor was the Crown Prince's wife, the two felt a little relieved.

The prince walked to his wife's side and said, "Madam, what brings you here?"

Seeing that her husband and mother-in-law looked flustered, the Crown Prince's wife's suspicions grew even stronger.

The Crown Prince's wife sneered, "Can't I come? If I hadn't come, how would I have witnessed this embarrassing scene? You two are actually hugging each other."

Upon hearing this, the two quickly explained, "Madam, you've misunderstood."

"Daughter-in-law, you've misunderstood."

Hearing the two of them explain at the same time, the Crown Prince's wife became even more furious. "I misunderstood, I saw it with my own eyes, and you call this a misunderstanding? Then does it mean that if the two of you slept together, it wouldn't be a misunderstanding?"

A slap landed on the Crown Prince's wife's face, and her face instantly turned red.

All three were stunned. The Crown Prince's wife pointed at the Crown Prince in disbelief, "You, you, you actually hit me for this slut who seduced another woman's husband! We're getting a divorce!" With that, she covered her slapped face and ran out of the study.

The maids and servants outside the study heard the entire conversation inside.

The people brought by the Crown Prince's wife were also stunned. They never expected that the Crown Prince and the Lady of the Marquis would actually...

Only the maids and servants around the heir apparent and the lady of the house knew.

It was just a hug; they were already used to it.

"Young Master, hurry and go after your daughter-in-law. Explain things to her properly, and make sure she doesn't misunderstand us." The Lady Hou cried and pushed the young master toward the door.

The young master held the lady of the house's hand and said, "It's alright. She's in a bad mood right now. Even if I go over there, she won't listen to my explanation."

"Your Highness, I shouldn't have come to you to complain, otherwise this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened." Lady Hou's tears flowed freely, she cried silently, her body trembling, her pitiful appearance arousing a surge of protective instincts in men.

Lady Hou knew that the Hou mansion was now an empty shell, and the richest people in the mansion were the young master in front of her and her good daughter-in-law.

It's hard to get money from a daughter-in-law, but it's easy to get money from the person in front of you, which is why this whole drama is happening today.

Su Yinhan, who had rushed back to the Prince's Mansion, returned to the Yong'an Prince's Mansion with the good news. She was already making plans in her mind.

Meanwhile, in the Prince's mansion, Princess Yong'an served the Prince food while gently saying, "Your Highness, I heard that the Divine Physician Pavilion auction was quite lively today, with high-ranking officials and nobles in attendance, and the entrance fee was as high as 50,000 taels of gold."

I wonder who this divine physician is. If such a powerful person could help the prince, wouldn't the prince be...!

Unfortunately, it's all my fault for being so incompetent that I don't even qualify to enter the Divine Physician's Pavilion auction, otherwise...!

Whenever I have the chance, I will do my best to win over the divine physician to serve Your Highness.

Moreover, I heard from my servants that Consort Su was in the limelight today, truly…!

Princess Yong'an saw that the prince was in a daze, so it seemed that he had taken her words to heart. "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness...!"

"My affairs are none of your concern," Prince Yong'an interrupted impatiently without even glancing at her.

Princess Yong'an's smile froze on her face. She bit her lip, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"Your Highness, I have spoken too much," she said, feigning grievance.

"Enough!" Prince Yong'an suddenly stood up. "If you bring this up again!"

Prince Yong'an felt his heart bleed at the thought of the 50,000 taels of gold entrance fee.

After saying that, he turned and left the table, leaving the princess alone there in a daze.

The princess clenched her fists tightly, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

Seeing how the prince treated his princess, the maid standing nearby felt heartbroken. "Princess, the prince is going too far! He just leaves like that!"

Upon hearing the maid's words, the princess chuckled wickedly, "Xi'er, there's no need to be angry. This is the effect I wanted. I just don't know if Consort Su can handle it."

The maid looked at her princess with curiosity, "Xi'er, let's just watch the show."

"Yes, Your Highness, would you like to continue your meal?"
