Chapter 182 Zhou Yuan Breaks into the Su Residence at Night
That night, the Duke's mansion was bustling with activity. After Su Yue and the others finished their meal with the old lady, they went to the garden to enjoy the night view. Bao Bao and Xiao Xiao were like two lively little rabbits, running around.
"Second sister, it's really nice here," Su Nian'an said, holding Su Yue's hand.
Su Yue smiled faintly, "Yes, but I wonder if my eldest sister is alright."
Lin Jie followed behind the group, a hint of worry creeping into his heart.
The gap between him and his wife, Nian'an, is now too great. Nian'an's uncle is a Duke, and her elder sister is Princess Anguo.
Lin Jie sighed inwardly, realizing he needed to work even harder to be worthy of Su Nian'an now.
Meanwhile, Bao Bao and Xiao Xiao ran to the lakeside and looked curiously at the moon reflected in the water.
“Brother, the moon is in the water,” Xiaoxiao said, pointing to the lake.
The baby nodded. "I want to scoop up the moon."
As she spoke, she reached out to grab it, startling the maidservant beside her who quickly stopped her.
"Young master, you mustn't! It's dangerous!" the maid said anxiously.
Hearing the commotion, everyone gathered around.
The old lady scolded, "These two naughty boys, don't scare them."
Su Nian'an stepped forward and picked up Xiaoxiao, saying, "You two, don't run around."
Everyone continued their stroll in the garden, their laughter and chatter filling the air.
Su Yinyin tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, because she had slept too much during the day.
Su Yinyin, wearing pajamas, went downstairs to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine.
Su Yinyin took the red wine, sat down on the sofa, and poured herself a drink.
After a few drinks, her face turned slightly red! At this moment, Lao Yi returned from outside and saw Su Yinyin drinking alone on the sofa. He frowned slightly.
"Miss, it's so late, please drink less," Jin said. Seeing Su Yinyin dressed so lightly, the old man's face flushed slightly.
Su Yinyin looked up at Jin, her eyes somewhat unfocused, "Jin, I can't sleep."
Jin sighed, walked to Su Yinyin's side, took off his cloak, and draped it over Su Yinyin's shoulders.
Su Yinyin put down her wine glass and leaned on Jin's shoulder. "Jin, it's so good to have you here." The old man's body stiffened slightly.
Just then, the door opened, and Regent Zhou Yuan walked in. He happened to see Su Yinyin leaning against a man.
Regent Zhou Yuan's face instantly darkened, his eyes revealing a chill.
"Su Yinyin, what are you doing?" Zhou Yuan's voice was icy cold.
Su Yinyin said calmly, "The Regent is quite leisurely, meddling in other people's affairs. May I ask what brings the Regent to my residence at night?"
Zhou Yuan snorted coldly, "Su Yinyin, you're in quite a good mood."
Su Yinyin composed herself and said, "Your Majesty, this is my private matter, no need for you to concern yourself with it."
Zhou Yuan stepped forward, staring at Su Yinyin, "Private matters? I'd like to take a look."
Jin stepped in front of Su Yinyin and said, "Your Highness, Miss is just in a bad mood and has had a few drinks."
Zhou Yuan roared, "Su Yinyin, you've been drinking! You actually drank alcohol?"
Zhou Yuan knew that Su Yinyin became confused after drinking. Otherwise, she wouldn't have...!
Zhou Yuan fears neither heaven nor earth. The only thing he fears is Su Yinyin when she drinks.
Su Yinyin retorted defiantly, "Regent, aren't you meddling too much? What does my drinking have to do with you?"
Seeing Su Yinyin's arrogant demeanor, Zhou Yuan became even more furious. "You are my queen."
Hearing this, Su Yinyin became even more furious. She had repeatedly stated that she had nothing to do with him anymore, and she would never become his queen.
Su Yinyin glared angrily, "Zhou Yuan, don't talk nonsense! When did I agree to be your queen?"
Zhou Yuan stared intently at her. "Su Yinyin, this is not up to you! Tomorrow I will read out the imperial decree. In this life, you are destined to be the Regent's Princess."
The old man stepped forward and blocked Su Yinyin's path, saying, "Regent, please return. Miss needs to rest."
Zhou Yuan glared at Jin, "You have no right to speak here!"
Su Yinyin sneered, "Zhou Yuan, do you really have to do this? Do you really want us to become enemies?"
Don't you dare bully others! He's my man, Su Yinyin's man.
Zhou Yuan couldn't believe what he was hearing: "Su Yinyin, what did you say?"
Su Yinyin was speechless. He'd made it so clear, yet he was still pretending. So she said, "Jin, lower your head!"
The first man, not understanding what was going on, obediently did as he was told and lowered his head.
Su Yinyin tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Lao Yi's neck, and kissed him without hesitation.
The old man froze instantly, while Zhou Yuan's eyes widened in fury.
"Su Yinyin, how dare you!" Zhou Yuan roared, stepping forward and pulling Su Yinyin away from Lao Yi.
Su Yinyin was pulled and staggered, almost falling over.
"Zhou Yuan, what are you doing!" Su Yinyin shouted angrily.
When the old man came to his senses and saw what was happening, he stepped forward and put his hands on Su Yinyin's shoulders.
Zhou Yuan stared at Jin, who was supporting Su Yinyin's shoulder, his eyes practically spitting fire. "Su Yinyin, do you really intend to oppose me?"
Su Yinyin stubbornly raised her head, "Zhou Yuan, I've said it before, there's no future for us. Tell His Majesty to divorce me."
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, "Do you know the consequences of your actions?"
Su Yinyin sneered, "Disobeying the imperial decree? I, Su Yinyin, do not consider the consequences of my actions. Zhou Yuan, don't forget, we still have a baby. Can't we part ways amicably?"
At this moment, Jin spoke up, "Your Highness, the young lady has made up her mind. Please do not force her any further."
Zhou Yuan glared at Jin fiercely, "You're just a servant, how dare you speak out of turn?"
Su Yinyin shielded Jin behind her, saying, "Zhou Yuan, he's my man. Do I need to confirm that again?"
Looking at Su Yinyin's resolute expression, Zhou Yuan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He slowly said, "Su Yinyin, I have a heart full of sincerity towards you, why are you so resistant?"
Su Yinyin was stunned; she hadn't expected Zhou Yuan to say such a thing. But she quickly recovered, "I don't need your sincerity, nor can I afford to. You can leave."
A flicker of pain crossed Zhou Yuan's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. "Su Yinyin, I will pay for your words!"
After saying that, Zhou Yuan turned and left.
The room fell silent. Su Yinyin sobered up a bit and looked in the direction Zhou Yuan had left, feeling a mix of emotions.
The old man looked at Su Yinyin with concern, "Miss! The Regent is injured!" He could tell at a glance that the Regent was seriously wounded. He was also reminding Su Yinyin of this.
Su Yinyin, being a renowned healer, naturally noticed. She dismissed it, saying, "Never mind him; he's the one who came looking for trouble."
“Miss, the Regent’s feelings for you may not be false,” she said cautiously.
Su Yinyin snorted coldly, "So what if it's true? There's no possibility between us. Jin, you're speaking up for him here, and I'm going to get angry."
Just then, a commotion broke out outside.
"What happened?" Su Yinyin asked.
The old man went out to check and returned shortly afterward. "Miss, it's one of the Regent's men. He says he wants to take you to see the Regent."
Su Yinyin frowned. "I won't see them. Let them leave."
But those people wouldn't give up and kept shouting outside the door.
Su Yinyin felt irritated. "Let's go take a look."
Upon arriving at the entrance, they saw a group of guards kneeling on the ground, pleading, "Princess, please save the Prince."
Su Yinyin's heart softened, but she still hardened her heart and said, "His life or death is none of my business."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to go back to his room.
However, just as she turned around, a guard said, "Princess, the Prince is the Crown Prince's father. For the sake of the Crown Prince, please have pity on the Prince!"
