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

A hint of doubt flashed in the concubine's eyes. "What deal?"

Su Yinyin paced gently, circling the concubine once. "If you follow my plan, it won't be long before you become the wife of the Marquis of Yongyi. Otherwise, if I were to expose your plot to harm the mistress right now, how do you think the Marquis would treat you?"

The concubine gritted her teeth, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "Alright, I agree."

Su Yinyin nodded in satisfaction, signaling the old man to release her.

Then Su Yinyin walked towards Madam Hou. When she was two steps away from Madam Hou, she took out a handkerchief, covered her nostrils, and said loudly, "This smell of excrement and urine is strong enough! But Madam Concubine, it's a pity that the smell is not strong enough! If the smell is not strong enough, Madam Hou will not be able to eat or sleep!" After Su Yinyin finished speaking, she looked at Madam Concubine.

The concubine understood Su Yinyin's meaning. "It's all my fault. How can we not bring a gift when we come to visit the highly respected lady of our Marquis's mansion? I will arrange it right now."

After speaking, the concubine left the room that made her feel nauseous and want to vomit as quickly as possible.

“Madam,” a maidservant stepped forward to help the concubine.

The maidservant leaned close and whispered some simple instructions in the concubine's ear. The maidservant then turned and happily went to prepare the gift!

The concubine, unable to bear the pervasive stench, went to the garden pavilion to rest. She instructed her maids to prepare a stool and a brazier.

"Who are you, and why did you come up with such a vicious idea?" Madam Hou narrowed her eyes, trying to see Su Yinyin's face through the veil.

Su Yinyin sneered, "Who am I? Can't you recognize my voice?"

Lady Hou looked puzzled. "Who exactly are you?"

Su Yinyin said: "Su Yinyin."

Lady Hou's eyes widened. "Impossible, impossible! She's dead! Completely dead, and that bastard child was also killed without a trace."

Su Yinyin suddenly ripped off her face mask, revealing the face that the Lady Hou had once loathed. "Open your dog eyes and take a good look! I'm not dead! I'm lucky to be alive!"

Lady Hou shrank back in terror. "You...what do you want?"

Lady Hou thought for a moment, then realized she hadn't done anything to Su Yinyin. Even if she had, all the evidence had been wiped clean! So what did she have to fear from her?

So Lady Hou calmed herself down. Forcing a smile, she said, "So it really is Yinyin! You're not dead, that's wonderful!"

Su Yinyin laughed sarcastically, "The Lady of the Marquis changes her mind quickly."

Lady Hou pretended to say, "Yinyin, I don't know why you are so hostile towards me. It's not that I didn't want to save you back then, but I was powerless to do so."

Su Yinyin snorted coldly, "Is that so? I'm very grateful for the generous gift you and Su Yinhan gave me!"

"Yinyin, what do you mean by that?" Lady Hou stared intently at Su Yinyin's face, trying to discern the true meaning behind her words.

Su Yinyin said with a smile, "Back then, when you and Su Yinhan set a trap for me and sent me men, I was really grateful to you."

I think we should reciprocate, right? I've already prepared a return gift! So, now, enjoy the gifts I've given you!

Madam Hou's expression changed, but she still tried to remain calm: "Yinyin, don't make baseless accusations. How can you make things up without any evidence?"

Su Yinyin's eyes were icy: "Is that so? These things were told to me by your dear daughter, oh, she's your own daughter!"

Madam Hou shook her head and said, "Impossible, impossible, Yinyin, you have no evidence, don't make baseless accusations! I went to great lengths to treat you well back then, Yinyin, have you forgotten?"

Su Yinyin held out her hand, and the old man immediately took a whip from his waist and handed it to her. Su Yinyin reminded him, "Remember to disinfect it when you get back!"

When Lady Hou saw the whip in Su Yinyin's hand, she shrank back, shrinking into herself. Her eyes widened in terror as she stared at Su Yinyin, her lips trembling as she stammered, "W-what are you going to do?"

Su Yinyin approached Madam Hou, her eyes as cold as knives, "I want you to be utterly disgraced and to taste the bitterness of a life worse than death."

"I'll collect some interest now, but I don't know if your body, so weakened, can withstand the whip in my hand."

The old man standing to the side spoke up at the right moment, "Miss, that's enough. She still has to serve the man later."

Su Yinyin smiled and said, "I understand. Even if she has whip marks, it won't affect her serving men! Those men are desperate for women; they're not picky."

In fact, a large portion of the men serving Lady Hou these past two days were arranged by Su Yinyin.

Even when the Marquis was angry, he would not kill the man because of the affection between him and his wife and son.

Lady Hou wanted to explain, but Su Yinyin didn't want to listen to her nonsense; bad people are often good at making excuses.

Before long, the sounds of whipping and shouting came from inside the room. There were no servants outside; the concubine had already dismissed them.

The old man stopped her, saying, "Miss, that's enough."

Su Yinyin put away the whip and handed it to Lao Yi. "Oh, give her the medicine, don't let her die."

After recovering from her shock, Madam Hou glared fiercely at Su Yinyin. "Su Yinyin, how dare you whip me! I am your mother, and I have treated you like my own daughter. Where are your morals and your filial piety?"

Su Yinyin sneered, "Morality, filial piety? You want me to talk about morality? And filial piety? You should look in the mirror. Do you even deserve it?"

Hearing the commotion outside, Su Yinyin put on her face mask.

At this moment, the concubine entered with a group of servants carrying several large barrels. As soon as the lids were opened, a stench filled the air. "Madam, this is a grand gift I've carefully prepared for you," the concubine said smugly.

Lady Hou nearly fainted upon seeing this.

"Please bear with it, this is the last time." After directing the maids to put the things away properly, the concubine said respectfully to the Lady of the Marquis, "Madam, this is a 'generous gift' that I have carefully prepared. I hope you like it."

Then Su Yinyin gave the concubine a wink. The concubine understood immediately. After instructing the servants...

Su Yinyin and the concubine walked out of the room and stood outside the door. They watched as the maids dumped everything onto the Lady of the Marquis.

Lady Hou screamed, but was powerless to resist.

"Don't rush, this is just the beginning!" Su Yinyin said softly.

Just then, a commotion arose outside; it turned out that the Marquis had returned to his residence.

The concubine, however, felt a pang of fear. The revenge she had just exacted was indeed exhilarating, but hearing that the Marquis had returned filled her with apprehension.

After all, the Marquis has not yet publicly announced his divorce from his wife.

Su Yinyin noticed the concubine's worry and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. "You can do this...!"

"Very well, I know what to do." The concubine nodded in satisfaction.

Not long after Su Yinyin and the Fifth Prince left, the Marquis arrived at the place where the Lady of the Marquis was being held. The stench of filth throughout the room made the Marquis stop in his tracks.
