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

Upon hearing this, Prince Yong'an's eyes widened in shock. Su Yinhan was his favored concubine, and this woman before him was her sister? Yet the two women appeared to have completely different demeanors.

At this moment, the princess suddenly said in a shrill voice, "Your Highness, Su Yinyin is so arrogant, she must not take you seriously."

Prince Yong'an ignored the princess and said to Su Yinyin, "I have met all the sisters of my concubines, but I have never seen you."

"Could you be the concubine's cousin? But your surname is Su, and her cousin's surname is Li, from the Duke's mansion." Prince Yong'an couldn't think of a logical explanation.

Su Yinyin looked at Prince Yong'an with a sneer, cursing inwardly, "Scumbag, what a scumbag! Only a few years have passed, and he can't even remember his fiancée's name! Good, very good!"

Looking at the Prince of Yong'an's idiotic appearance, Su Yinyin felt that he and Su Yinhan were a perfect match.

Indeed, aside from his outstanding appearance, Prince Yong'an really has nothing to offer. If he were intelligent, the emperor wouldn't have bestowed upon him the title of Prince Yong'an.

What's even more ridiculous is Su Yinhan. You went to great lengths to become a princess. And what's the result? Now you're just a concubine. Soon, you'll be a mistress!

Su Yinhan! Killing you with a single blow would be far too lenient. Enjoy your last moments of pleasure!

From now on, your days will be worse than death!

Su Yinyin gently nudged Li Lan, and their eyes briefly met. Li Lan understood what Su Yinyin meant.

"Greetings, Prince Yong'an! I am Li Lan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion!" Li Lan stepped forward and bowed to Prince Yong'an.

"Are you Li Lan from the Duke's Mansion?" Prince Yong'an scrutinized Li Lan closely.

“That’s right,” Li Lan replied respectfully.

The Duke's family had been back in the capital for several days. Prince Yong'an had instructed Su Yinhan to pay her respects to the Duke and to cultivate good relationships with the Duchess and her cousins.

Su Yinhan told Prince Yong'an that the Duke and his entourage were too tired from their journey and needed to rest. She would visit them in a few days.

Prince Yong'an couldn't understand why Su Yinhan's mother was the Duke's younger sister. Even though Su Yinhan's mother was no longer alive, the old man and the Duke of the Duke's mansion still doted on Su Yinyin and Su Yinhan.

Now that they've all returned to Beijing and haven't seen each other for many years, it shouldn't be...!

Prince Yong'an became suspicious. Was Su Yinhan deliberately preventing him from establishing a good relationship with the Duke's mansion? But why would she do that?

Prince Yong'an was puzzled. How could the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion be mixed up with Su Yinyin? And they seemed to have a tacit understanding.

At this moment, Su Yinyin spoke up: "Your Highness, please do not be suspicious. Today's encounter was merely by chance."

Lost in thought, Li Lan spoke up: "Your Highness, my cousin and I went out shopping today, but I never expected...!"

Prince Yong'an frowned slightly and looked at Li Lan, asking, "Cousin? Your cousin, Su Yinhan, is in the palace right now!" He pointed at Su Yinhan and said, "Cousin, you mean her?"

Li Lan gracefully bowed and slowly said, "Indeed! Your Highness, this is my eldest cousin, Su Yinyin, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi. This is my second cousin, Su Yue. As for your concubine Su Yinhan, our Duke's Mansion does not know her."

Li Lan continued, "Oh, my second cousin's original name was Su Yinhan. My father thought that the name Su Yinhan was dirty and that someone else had stolen it, so he changed my second cousin's name to Su Yue."

Li Lan's words shocked everyone present.

The princess exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, I remember now! Aren't you Su Yinyin, the one who got pregnant out of wedlock? I heard that Marquis Yongyi threw you into a mass grave back then. You didn't die?"

The princess looked Su Yinyin up and down and said, "Having survived such a calamity, you are sure to have good fortune in the future! Live well."

Su Yinyin was slightly taken aback by the princess's words, and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Princess."

The princess looked at Su Yinyin and, for some reason, felt sorry for her!

The princess was perfectly aware of the intricacies of the inner quarters.

Perhaps it's because the princess had a similar experience, being framed...! However, the princess had a loving mother.

The princess used to be dignified, well-mannered, gentle, and virtuous! It was only after that incident that she became the unreasonable person she is now!

Prince Yong'an stared wide-eyed, never expecting that the woman before him was his former fiancée.

Marquis Yongyi and Su Yinhan explicitly told Prince Yong'an that Su Yinyin was dead. Furthermore, Prince Yong'an didn't have a strong impression of Su Yinyin.

It's fair to say that Prince Yong'an's memory of Su Yinyin is very vague. Every time he visits the Marquis of Yongyi's residence, he is always greeted by Su Yinhan.

Su Yinyin raised her eyes and looked directly at Prince Yong'an, her gaze cold. "Your Highness has probably already forgotten about Su Yinyin, hasn't he? Back then, I was inexplicably falsely accused of being pregnant out of wedlock, and Marquis Yongyi, believing the slander, threw me into a mass grave. Fortunately, I survived thanks to the protection of Heaven. But I never expected...! Your Highness, are you quite surprised?"

Prince Yong'an looked remorseful. "I once felt sorry for you...!"

Su Yinyin interrupted Prince Yong'an directly, coldly snorting, "Regret? What's there to regret? I didn't even know that you all thought I, Su Yinyin, was so stupid? I've received a good education, after all. Do you think I don't know whether it's more honorable to be pregnant out of wedlock or to be a princess?"

Upon hearing Su Yinyin's words, the princess snorted, "This matter is not so simple. We must investigate it thoroughly. I despise people who resort to underhanded tactics."

Su Yinyin then said, "Prince Yong'an, please go back and inform your concubine to return all the dowry my mother left me."

Prince Yong'an's face darkened. He had always thought Su Yinhan was a simple and kind woman, but he never expected that there was such a shady deal behind her back.

However, in front of everyone, Prince Yong'an suppressed his inner doubts and tried to speak on behalf of Su Yinhan, "Your mother is also Yinhan's mother, and her share of your mother's dowry should also be included. If she embezzled your share of the dowry, I will make her return it to you!"

Prince Yong'an wasn't stupid; he needed to protect his reputation, and protecting Su Yinhan was protecting his own reputation.

Su Yinyin retorted disdainfully, "Your Highness, please go back and ask your concubine what kind of person she is, whether she is worthy of taking my mother's things."

"Miss Su, there's no need to speak like that. No matter what, Su Yinhan is your own sister!"

Su Yinyin sneered a few times, then pulled Su Yue and said, "My own sister? My own sister is right here. Her name is Su Yue. Go back and ask Su Yinhan if she's my own sister. Is she my mother's biological daughter?"

Su Yinyin's words surprised everyone. This was explosive news!

Those around were speculating about the connections. The inner quarters of this Marquis's mansion were truly fascinating.
