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

Chapter 164 Attending a Banquet 7

Su Yinyin hurriedly ran to the princess's side and said pitifully, "Your Highness, this has nothing to do with Yinyin. Yinyin was just resting in her room when she heard the noise and came out to see this scene."

The princess frowned, naturally understanding that something was amiss. She feigned surprise and said, "What a misfortune for our family! Someone, quickly go and invite the prince here."

The lady and young lady standing nearby were both embarrassed at the sight, but they were still eager to watch the spectacle and were unwilling to leave.

Everyone was cursing, "This is truly immoral and disgraceful."

"No, just how promiscuous are these two people?"

"Could it be that Prince Yong'an couldn't satisfy Consort Su, so he cheated on her and got caught red-handed?"

These words were spoken just as Prince Yong'an arrived. Upon hearing them, Prince Yong'an's face instantly turned bright red, and he glared angrily at the speaker.

He looked at Su Yinhan and Lin Yao, his eyes filled with disgust. "You two shameless women! Quickly pull them apart!" he roared.

After gaining their freedom, Su Yinhan and Lin Yao used all their strength to pull at the tattered clothes beside them, trying their best to cover their bodies. Even so, there were still many places that could not be covered.

Only then did everyone see the true faces of the four men: incredibly ugly, and Feng Peng was filthy. As dirty as could be.

Meanwhile, Su Yinyin and the Princess Consort secretly watched the disdainful expressions on everyone's faces towards Su Yinhan, and they were quite pleased.

After being freed, Su Yinhan rushed towards Prince Yong'an, crying, "Your Highness, we were framed!"

Prince Yong'an shoved her away, "Stop making excuses!"

Lin Yao also cried and begged Zhou Yuan to save her, but Zhou Yuan turned his head away in disgust.

Regent Zhou Yuan had just returned from the palace when he witnessed this scene. He was filled with resentment.

Just now, Zhou Yuan met the Imperial Noble Consort and asked directly, "Mother, is today's event related to you?"

The Dowager Consort smiled and stroked her son's face. "Yuan'er, Lin Yao does have feelings for you. Your mother is just going with the flow."

Zhou Yuan frowned. "Mother, I will handle my own affairs. Please don't interfere anymore."

Seeing this scene now, Zhou Yuan understood everything. Today's events were orchestrated by his mother, Su Yinhan, and Lin Yao, but Su Yinhan had seen through their scheme and decided to play along.

If there were no intention to harm, how could there be a reaction? Zhou Yuan felt no sympathy whatsoever. On the contrary, he wanted to eliminate the person who harmed Su Yinyin. But Zhou Yuan had overlooked his mother.

Su Yinyin, secretly pleased with herself, pretended to be afraid and said, "Your Highness, these two people's behavior is likely to damage the reputation of the Prince's Mansion. They should be severely punished." Everyone nodded in agreement.

The princess glanced at Su Yinyin, secretly pleased. But on the surface, she remained serious and said, "Discipline her according to family rules." Su Yinhan and Lin Yao turned ashen-faced.

Just as the servants were about to drag the two away, Su Yinhan and Lin Yao suddenly pointed at Su Yinyin and shouted, "It was her! She framed us!"

Su Yinyin looked completely innocent. "Consort Su, Miss Lin, please don't make false accusations."

Su Yinhan ignored Su Yinyin; the prince was her everything. She was determined to make him know she had been framed. If that happened, she might not have to die.

Su Yinhan kept kowtowing and said to Prince Yong'an, "Your Highness, we have been framed! We were drugged! If you don't believe me, have a doctor come into the room and check. You'll see that I've been framed!"

After hearing Su Yinhan's words, Prince Yong'an hesitated for a moment, then ordered his servants to fetch a doctor.

Before long, the doctor rushed over, entered the room to examine it, and came out to report: "Your Highness, there is no trace of sleeping potion in the room." Everyone was shocked.

Su Yinyin calmly stepped forward, curtsied, and said, "Your Highness, the doctors can't find any trace of sleeping potion. The truth is, Consort Su framed me."

Even if there was a sleeping potion, so what? Who knows if Consort Su arranged it herself? If she harbored ill intentions, it's possible she was deliberately using it as an excuse to escape punishment.

Su Yinhan's eyes widened, and she angrily pointed at Su Yinyin: "You viper, why do you slander me like this?"

At this moment, Zhou Yuan spoke up: "This matter is full of doubts and we cannot draw conclusions lightly. I suggest that we first detain Consort Su and Lin Yao for thorough interrogation. As for Miss Su Yinyin, we should not arbitrarily accuse her unless there is conclusive evidence that she framed others."

Su Yinhan and Lin Yao were terrified. If they were locked up and interrogated, it would be worse than death. Su Yinhan was unwilling to accept this. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the more she lost her mind. She frantically pointed at Su Yinyin and said, "It must be Su Yinyin who is holding a grudge and taking revenge on me."

Su Yinyin sneered a few times, "Consort Su's words are truly laughable. What do I hate about you? Why would I seek revenge against you!"

Su Yinhan angrily pointed at Su Yinyin and shouted, "That's because I orchestrated your rape back then!" Her words caused an uproar.

Everyone stared in shock at Su Yinhan. How old was she back then? They never imagined she could be so ruthless. Su Yinhan's close friends turned pale.

Su Yinyin's face was drained of color, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with pain and hatred.

Prince Yong'an looked at Su Yinhan in disbelief, "How could you do such a vicious thing?"

Su Yinhan was now completely reckless. "That's right, I'm just jealous of her. Why does she always act so aloof? What's there to be afraid of? She doesn't have to work hard to get the status and wealth she wants!"

Su Yinyin feigned surprise and said, "What do you mean by that? Your mother is the legitimate daughter of a Duke's mansion, and your father is a Marquis. You were born a Marquis's legitimate daughter. Your status is already very noble. Why do you say such a thing?"

Zhou Yuan looked at Su Yinhan with icy eyes, his disgust for her growing even stronger.

He spoke slowly: "Such a vicious person must not be let off lightly."

Su Yinyin took a deep breath, forcing back her tears, "Su Yinhan, you have committed such a heinous crime and even tried to frame me. Today is your death day."

Su Yinhan stood up, looked at the onlookers, then at Su Yinyin and laughed loudly, "That's because I'm not yours...!"

"Han'er, what nonsense are you spouting!" Lady Hou shouted.

She had just been pulled aside for a chat by the other ladies, which is why she arrived late. If she had been any later, everything they had done would have been made public.

All their efforts over the years have been in vain!
