The legitimate daughter returns, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion regrets and begs for for

“I want the Prince of Zhenbei’s property, not just farmland and shops, but also some antiques and paintings. All you have to do is get the Prince of Zhenbei’s property for me,” Madam Tian said calmly, as if it were a very ordinary topic, rather than something she was trying to seize.

Su Muya trembled with rage, glaring at Tian Shi with gritted teeth, wishing she could tear off her hypocritical mask. She took a deep breath and said, "I don't understand why you're doing this to me! Do you even know who the Prince of Zhenbei is? He's not good enough for me. You'd be better off marrying my uncle or my maternal uncle."

"Hmph, how can those two pieces of trash compare to the Prince of Zhenbei?"

Tian gave a disdainful sneer.

"Sister-in-law, you're so vicious! Did you pick me up?" Su Muya roared angrily, unable to contain herself any longer.

Tian suddenly fell silent, looked at Su Muya, and slowly said, "Yes, you're the one I picked up from the garbage dump."

Su Muya was stunned. She hadn't expected her sister-in-law to say such a thing to her.

Madam Tian sighed and said, "I took you in because I wanted to reserve a place for my son to study with. I knew your background, which is why you were willing to be my son's playmate. You were clever, obedient, and sensible; you were my favorite girl. But your father wouldn't allow me to send you away. He said you were a jinx, that you had brought death to your mother and brother. Later, I realized I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken you in, much less kept you as my son's playmate."

"Your father sent you to the Liu family as a maid, hoping that you could use this connection to rise in status and one day become the Princess Consort of Zhenbei. I was unwilling, but I couldn't fight against your father."

"But then, you actually hooked up with the eldest son of the Liu family, and I just couldn't let that go! You jinx!"

Su Muya clenched her fists, struggling to suppress her anger, and said, "Then why are you trying to win me over today?"

"Because you are a pawn, as long as we cooperate smoothly, I can let you go and guarantee that you will become the Princess Consort of Zhenbei."

Tian said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"you."

Su Muya wanted to say something, but Madam Tian impatiently waved her hand to stop her, saying, "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Think about it first. Wait for my message. I'm going to sleep now."

After saying that, Tian went into the house and locked the door. Su Muya stood there, stunned, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

Tian's words shocked Su Muya. She had always thought of herself as just an ordinary child, and she dared not presume to guess Tian's intentions.

Su Muya stood there for a moment, then shook her head and left.

The next day, as expected, Madam Tian came to discuss matters with Su Muya and they agreed on a time. In the evening, Su Muya left the mansion in a sedan chair and then in a carriage. Along the way, she pondered many things. Madam Tian's intentions were clear: she wanted to use the Prince of Zhenbei to retaliate against her, but at the same time, she was wary of the Prince of Zhenbei, since his power was now immense and they could not afford to offend him.

As Su Muya was thinking, she lifted the curtain to look outside. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, knocking the veil off her face to the ground. She hurriedly covered her face with her hand, then bent down to pick up the veil. Just as she was about to put it on, she saw a dark shadow flash by on the side of the street. She screamed in fright and fell to the ground. She got up in terror and ran home as fast as she could.

“Help!”

"Assassin! Help!"

A woman's shrill screams echoed through the street, terrifying everyone who fled in panic. Some brave, burly men gave chase.

The man was dressed in black and had his face covered. He ran while drawing his sword to fight back.

"Murder! Murder!" Su Muya shouted as she ran home with all her might. She was terrified; she couldn't die.

Su Muya ran home, rushed into the house, and threw herself into the arms of Old Madam Su, crying and begging for help.

"Mother, help! There's an assassin!" Su Muya cried, tears streaming down her face. "Mother, help me! I'm scared, waaaaah~"

"Don't cry, don't cry, tell me slowly," Old Madam Su comforted her. Actually, she was quite scared herself. She was old and would definitely be terrified if she encountered an assassin. She could only pretend to be calm.

"Assassin, someone wants to kill me!" Su Muya sobbed.

Old Madam Su frowned. "Who wants to kill you?"

"I don't know, I don't know! Mother, I can't die, I can't die!"

"Silly girl, don't worry, Mother will definitely protect you."

Madam Su gently stroked her back and softly comforted her.

"Waaah~ Mother, they want to take me to be buried with the Prince of Zhenbei, they want to destroy me." Su Muya hugged the old lady Su and wailed loudly.

"The Prince of Zhenbei?" Old Madam Su asked in confusion.

Su Muya nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, I don't want to marry the Prince of Zhenbei as a concubine, boohoo!"

“The Prince of Zhenbei is a tyrannical and bloodthirsty man. If you marry him, how will you survive?” Old Madam Su frowned.

“But I have to marry him!” Su Muya suddenly looked up, stared at him, and said resolutely.

"Why?"

"Because he already has a fiancée, if I marry him, I can become his legal wife!"

"What! Are you crazy?!"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Su nearly fainted. She leaned on the table, panting, "You silly girl! That's the Prince of Zhenbei! He's a powerful and ruthless regent! How could our Su family afford to offend him!"

"Grandmother, don't worry about all that. I can't marry anyone else. I only want to be the legal wife. As for the Regent's fiancée, once I marry her, I'll definitely be able to get rid of her," Su Muya said fiercely.

Old Madam Su was so angry she almost laughed. "What makes you think you can get rid of the Prince of Zhenbei's fiancée? Are you a princess, a noblewoman, or even a member of the imperial family?!"

"I don't know, but I think I have the ability. Just you wait and see!" Su Muya said confidently, without any worry about the fiancée of the Prince of Zhenbei.

Su Muya's certainty made the old lady Su even more worried. She felt that her granddaughter was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and even vaguely felt that she was very much like her mother, that poor woman who was bullied.

Old Madam Su was heavy-hearted, but she could only do as Su Muya said and deal with this troublesome matter at hand.

Say.

The next day at lunchtime, Su Muya dressed up specially and attended the event in her finest attire. The Prince of Zhenbei was a man who appreciated beautiful women; she believed that as long as she displayed enough allure, he would surely marry her.

Su Muya sat in front of the dressing table, letting the maids do as they pleased, each one more attentive than the last.

Suddenly, a servant announced, "Reporting to the Old Madam, the Eldest Young Master has returned."

"Oh? Why is the child back so early? Has he eaten?" asked Madam Su.

"They haven't eaten yet. I'll go to the kitchen and urge them."
