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

When Su Yinyin brought Su Yue to the front of her villa, Su Yue was attracted by the house. "It's so beautiful, so beautiful, sister. I've never seen such a beautiful house. It's so bright, and it's not dark at all."

"If you like it, little sister, you can live with your older sister," Su Yinyin invited.

“Okay, then I’ll stay with you for a while, sister. I’ll go back home after Biyu has settled everyone at home!” Su Yue said happily.

In truth, Su Yue didn't want to leave Su Yinyin's side, but Su Yinyin had already bought her a house and settled her down. She couldn't be ungrateful!

Su Yue knew that her sister didn't want her to feel like she was living under someone else's roof and wanted her to live more comfortably, so she couldn't let her sister down.

Su Yinyin smiled, took Su Yue's hand, and walked into the villa. The interior of the villa was luxuriously decorated yet warm and inviting. Su Yue and Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed, looking around curiously.

As Su Yinyin stepped into the living room, she froze, for she saw the Imperial Noble Consort. The Fifth Prince had indeed reported to her yesterday that the Imperial Noble Consort had visited her residence.

But why is she still here at this time?

At this moment, Bixia came out of the kitchen and, seeing her mistress's expression, knew that her mistress was unhappy.

Bixia quickly walked to her side and whispered, "The Imperial Noble Consort is upstairs, the Regent is upstairs, and Young Master Bao has gone out with Su Yi!"

Su Yinyin glanced coldly toward the stairs, then at the Imperial Noble Consort sitting on the sofa. She silently pondered the Imperial Noble Consort's purpose in coming.

When Su Yinyin and the others entered the living room, the Imperial Noble Consort had already seen them.

She sat there motionless, drinking her tea, waiting for Su Yinyin and the others to come and pay their respects.

Su Yinyin thought to herself, "Since we're here, I might as well have a good time with her." So she led Su Yue straight to the Imperial Noble Consort and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Imperial Noble Consort."

The Imperial Noble Consort put down her teacup and said with a smile, "We're all family, no need for such formalities." Then, she looked Su Yue up and down, frowning, "This must be your sister!"

Su Yinyin understood from the tone of the Imperial Noble Consort's voice that she was unhappy. Why was she unhappy? Su Yinyin knew.

It was because Su Yinyin, Su Yue, and the others did not perform the kneeling ceremony.

Su Yinyin deliberately refused to kneel; she didn't want to kneel, and she had the ability to do so.

The Imperial Noble Consort added, "This little girl is so adorable, who is she?"

"Replying to Your Highness, this is Su Yue's daughter." Su Yinyin couldn't stand the sarcastic tone any longer.

When Bixia told Su Yinyin that the Imperial Noble Consort was living here, Su Yinyin was already very unhappy, feeling that her territory had been invaded.

Moreover, she disliked the lack of boundaries that Zhou Yuan and the Imperial Noble Consort showed her.

This is my own home; I moved in without her permission.

Su Yinyin instructed Bixia to take Xiaoxiao downstairs to wash up.

Then she pulled Su Yue to sit down beside her. She asked directly, "May I ask what brings the Dowager Consort here today?"

The Imperial Noble Consort smiled and said, "It's nothing important. I was just bored and wanted to visit A-Yuan, but I ran into my grandson. And I really like this place, so I've decided to stay here permanently!"

Su Yinyin turned her head and said gently to Su Yue, "Little sister, why don't you look around by yourself first and see if there are any rooms you like? I have some things to take care of, and I'll keep you company in a little while."

Su Yue nodded obediently and then began to admire the villa's furnishings on her own.

The Imperial Noble Consort was displeased with Su Yinyin's attitude towards her. Just as she was about to say something, she heard...

"Biyu, go upstairs and ask the Regent to come down," Su Yinyin instructed Biyu.

Upon hearing Su Yinyin's instructions, Biyu turned and went upstairs.

When Zhou Ayuan came downstairs, he saw Su Yinyin and his mother sitting on the sofa, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Zhou Ayuan didn't think too much about it and sat down next to Su Yinyin. He said happily, "Ayin, you're back?"

Su Yinyin said coldly, "Yes, I'm back. Thank you so much for taking care of the baby these past two days. I don't have any plans to travel far during this time. I'll take care of the baby myself. If A Yuan misses the baby, he's welcome anytime."

Su Yinyin paused, looked at Zhou Yuan, and continued, "Also, Your Highness, this is my home. It might not be very convenient for you to stay here permanently." Her voice was calm, but carried an undeniable firmness.

Zhou Yuan's expression changed slightly; he understood Su Yinyin's meaning. The Imperial Noble Consort, on the other hand, looked surprised, clearly not expecting Su Yinyin to be so direct.

"Daughter-in-law, this is also A-Yuan's home. Do I not even have the right to live here?" The Imperial Noble Consort's tone revealed a hint of displeasure.

Su Yinyin smiled slightly and replied, "This is my own home, and it has nothing to do with A Yuan."

What I earn myself belongs only to me. If I have to marry someone and everything I own belongs to that man, then I'd rather not marry!

The Imperial Noble Consort was about to reprimand him when she heard such remarks for the first time.

Zhou Yuan quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Mother, how about this, I will personally escort you back to the palace."

Knowing that further entanglement would be pointless, the Imperial Noble Consort accepted the excuse given by Zhou Yuan.

“I’m not targeting her, I just hope we can maintain certain boundaries,” Su Yinyin interrupted Zhou Yuan. “Besides, I think we also need some time to think about our relationship. And we can talk about the wedding later.”

"Then... can we still see each other as often as before?" Zhou Yuan asked cautiously.

Su Yinyin looked at Zhou Yuan, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "If you want a baby, you're welcome anytime!"

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment, then finally nodded slowly, "I understand, Ayin. In any case, I will respect your decision."

After seeing Zhou Yuan and the Imperial Noble Consort off, Su Yinyin felt the air in the house become much lighter.

Su Yinyin found Su Yue in the kitchen, where she was curiously looking at the food on the table.

Su Yinyin took Su Yue's hand and led her to a door. She opened the door and said, "Little sister, you can live in this room from now on." The room was furnished exquisitely and comfortably.

Su Yue looked happily at the smooth, clean floor and carefully entered the room. She had never seen any of the furnishings before, so she touched them cautiously with both hands.

Su Yinyin didn't disturb her, letting Su Yue observe quietly. Su Yue looked around and touched everything, saying, "Thank you, sister! I love it here!"

Seeing Su Yue's cheerful appearance, Su Yinyin felt a warmth in her heart.

Inside the carriage, the Imperial Noble Consort was furious. She was of such high status, yet she had been escorted out of her residence by someone else. And that person was none other than her daughter-in-law, the mother of her grandson.

The Imperial Noble Consort said, "Yuan'er, I think this Su Yinyin has a very strange personality. Tell the Emperor not to marry her as his princess."
