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

Seeing that the child had such powerful people protecting him, the Imperial Noble Consort assumed that his family background must be quite good. His father must also be a powerful person.

However, the Imperial Noble Consort was still somewhat worried about the willful, capricious, and unreasonable Princess Anyang. After checking the time, she decided that her own affairs were more important.

So she said to Su Baobao, "Little girl, I have important matters to attend to. I am relieved to have such capable subordinates protecting you. However, I will definitely have the Empress discipline Princess Anyang properly in this matter."

Su Baobao wasn't ungrateful, and said sweetly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Oh my, you have such a sweet tongue!" The Imperial Noble Consort patted Su Baobao's head affectionately.

Then she turned to Princess Anyang and said, "Anyang, put away your arrogant and domineering temper, otherwise no one will dare to marry you. Furthermore, I will have a good talk with the Empress about what happened today. Your Li family has so much power that you don't even listen to an old woman like me."

"Granny, you stay here and wait for the child's father to arrive. Then you can go straight back to the palace."

Princess Anyang was in so much pain that she couldn't even stand up. She couldn't hear what the Imperial Noble Consort was saying; all she wanted now was to capture Su Baobao and strangle her on the spot. "Your Highness, you must do justice for Anyang! This little bastard had me beaten like this; he's committed insubordination! His whole family should be executed!"

Looking at the brainless Anyang, the Imperial Noble Consort couldn't understand how the Li family could produce such a stupid daughter. "Anyang, how do you want me to help you?"

An Yang thought the Imperial Noble Consort was distressed for her, so she went even further and said, "Your Highness, order the guards to arrest them all. I, the Princess, will execute them on the spot."

The Imperial Noble Consort rebuked, "Do you think this is your home? When did it become your place to act so wildly! Your father was a man of great reputation, how could he have such a foolish daughter like you!"

Princess Anyang was thoroughly scolded, yet she still tried to argue. However, the Imperial Noble Consort, no longer interested in her, turned to the nanny and said, "Let's go." Then she led her entourage away.

The Imperial Noble Consort remained cautious. She felt a sense of kinship with the child, and since she had encountered him, she decided to keep an eye on him.

The Imperial Noble Consort left, and while in the carriage, she recalled Su Baobao's appearance. It seemed very familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

Meanwhile, Princess Anyang and the others were crying and wailing on the ground, each of them holding their face in their hands, hoping to ease the pain.

When the second brother struck, his slap distorted everyone's mouth and shattered the bones in their cheeks.

So they were in so much pain that they rolled on the ground in agony. Princess Anyang was no exception.

Ignoring the stares of others, Su Baobao walked up to Princess Anyang and looked down at her.

Su Baobao said in a childish voice, "Princess, don't you want to kill me?"

"You're in such a state that you can barely take care of yourself, how can you possibly save the baby's life?"

Princess Anyang covered her face, which was swollen like a pig's head, her heart filled with resentment.

Ignoring Princess Anyang's pain, Su Baobao put on an innocent face and continued, "You probably don't know who my father is, right? When he comes, you'd better take his life. I heard his life is very valuable."

The onlookers, upon hearing Su Baobao's words, were all puzzled: what did she mean by "valuable"?

Could it be a notorious bandit? The imperial court has recently offered a reward for the capture of a notorious bandit.

That's not right either. The expert next to that child is a true master. With such a powerful expert around, why would he become a notorious thief?

Could this be the young master of that prominent family? But this child's language suggests he's not from the capital.

As the people speculated, the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw two men in brocade robes riding steeds at full gallop. They were tall and handsome, exuding an imposing aura.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Su Baobao immediately ran forward joyfully and threw herself into the arms of one of the men.

"Daddy!" Su Baobao called out affectionately. Then she turned to Su Yi and said, "Uncle Su Yi, she, Princess Anyang, bullied me!"

The man held Su Baobao in his arms and asked softly, "Baby, are you hurt?"

“No, Daddy, some bad guys tried to bully me, but I’ve already taught them a lesson,” Su Baobao said proudly.

Su Yi carefully examined Su Baobao to make sure he wasn't injured, then teased him, "You're such a grown man, and you still get bullied? You still have the nerve to tell me this."

Su Baobao pouted, feeling wronged, "Uncle Su Yi...!"

Su Yi didn't bother to look at Su Baobao's appearance. She looked down at the person lying on the ground.

The Regent and Su Yi both had a chill in their eyes as they looked at Princess Anyang and her entourage groaning on the ground.

"You dare touch my son? You're asking for trouble," the man said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding people began to speculate about the man's identity. Some said he was a powerful figure from the capital, while others said he was a chivalrous hero from the martial arts world.

Some girls who had never been abroad blushed and lowered their heads when they saw these two handsome and elegant young men, their hearts fluttering with desire.

The old nanny who had stayed behind to care for Su Baobao when she saw the man before her was both stunned and delighted. She also felt sorry for the old nanny.

The man before them was none other than the Dowager Consort's son, the Regent. And the child who had been bullied by Princess Anyang was calling the Regent "father"—wasn't that the Dowager Consort's grandson?

The Regent has a wife, and she has raised his son, who is five years old this year. The Dowager Queen rushed out of the palace to see her daughter-in-law and grandson. She encountered her own grandson, but didn't recognize him. What a pity! What a pity!

If the Dowager Consort had left later, wouldn't she have run into her son and grandson? I, this old servant, am lucky; I saw the young prince before the Dowager Consort.

No wonder this child looks so familiar; he looks very similar to the Regent when he was a child.

Granny Li stepped forward, knelt down, and said, "This old servant greets the Regent."

Li Mama's words confirmed that the man was the regent and the child was the regent's son.

Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down to pay their respects to the Regent.

The Regent looked at the people and said, "Please come forward, all of you!"

Princess Anyang was already pale with fright. She never expected that Su Baobao's father was actually the Regent.

She never imagined that the man she had longed for day and night, the one she would marry no one but the Regent, would be so protective of this little bastard before her. For a moment, she thought the rumors were all false.

Even after the emperor issued the decree, she continued to deceive herself, unwilling to believe it.

The regent has never been interested in women, so how could he have a son? Moreover, the regent is willing to accept a woman of unknown origin and an illegitimate child.

Princess Anyang couldn't understand why the Regent, whom she loved madly and was willing to do anything for, couldn't see her good qualities despite her noble status and attractive appearance.
