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

Chapter 163 Attending a Banquet 6

Yao begged for mercy in terror. Seeing the Regent's resolute attitude, she cried out in anguish, "Your Highness, Yao'er's wound seems to have reopened, it hurts!" Lin Yao gazed lovingly at Regent Zhou Yuan.

She wanted to see how Zhou Yuan would treat her. After all, she was injured while saving him.

But he disappointed her again. Why was he so cold? No matter how she tried to warm him, she couldn't. She was so devoted to him, yet all she got in return was indifference.

Zhou Yuan merely glanced at her coldly and said, "I told you long ago, don't try these tricks anymore. I know your intentions perfectly well."

Yao'er's eyes widened in disbelief. She had thought that this self-inflicted injury would at least earn her a shred of his pity.

At this moment, the maid beside her couldn't help but whisper, "Your Highness, Miss Lin was really injured while saving you."

Zhou Yuan snorted coldly, "She's just trying to use this opportunity to curry favor with me. I've seen this kind of trick many times before."

Hearing his heartless words, Yao'er burst into tears, her heart filled with despair.

However, at that moment, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

It turned out that the emperor had heard that Lin Yao had saved the regent and had issued a special decree to commend her.

After the attendant read out the imperial edict, Zhou Yuan's expression changed slightly. He knew that now that the emperor was paying attention to this matter, if he still openly disliked Lin Yao, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble.

So he slowly squatted down, looked at Lin Yao, and said in a voice that was still cold but with a hint of perfunctoriness, "Since His Majesty values ​​you, I cannot go against His Majesty's wishes. Get up."

Yao'er watched his change, her heart filled with mixed emotions. But their plan was still progressing slowly; there was no rush. Zhou Yuan would be hers, Lin Yao's, sooner or later. Lin Yao glanced triumphantly at Su Yinyin.

Su Yinyin, if His Majesty can praise you, so can I.

Su Yinyin couldn't help but chuckle, "Now that you've shown your true colors, I wonder how far you can go."

Su Yinyin didn't care at all about the colorful people around Zhou Yuan. After all, she now considered Zhou Yuan just an ordinary friend.

They thought these little tricks could affect her. They really underestimated Su Yinyin.

Regent Zhou Yuan suddenly remembered something and immediately walked up to Su Yinyin, explaining, "Yinyin, Lin Yao saved me a few days ago, I...!"

Su Yinyin raised her hand to interrupt: "Regent, your private matters are none of my business, so there's no need to explain."

"This lady needs to change her clothes. Please, Regent, leave." Su Yinyin said, then turned and went into the room.

As for Biyu, Su Yinyin was worried that Su Yue and the others might be in danger at the banquet. She instructed Biyu and her maids and nannies to accompany them.

They went to the backyard of the Prince's mansion to change clothes. Su Yinhan and the maids of the Prince's mansion accompanied them.

Only then did Su Yinhan have a chance to make her move. Su Yinyin entered the room and instructed the maids of the Prince's Mansion to wait at the door.

Seeing this, the maid quietly closed the door and stood at the door without leaving.

Regent Zhou Yuan felt even more anxious when he saw that Su Yinyin was distant from him, which was somewhat different from what he had expected.

His purpose today was to cultivate a relationship with Su Yinyin. How could there be an imperial edict in the middle of all this?

He has ordered that no one who knows about Lin Yao saving him should divulge a single word about it. Is there a spy among his entourage?

Suddenly he remembered that Su Yinyin had told him to keep an eye on his mother. Could it be his mother?

His mother knows everything about him now. It seems the Prince's mansion has long been her domain.

Many doubts swirled in his mind. Zhou Yuan could no longer bear the torment. Seeing that there was still some time before lunchtime, he thought, "If I make a round trip, I should be able to make it in time!"

So Zhou Yuan ordered An Ying to secretly protect Su Yinyin. He then went to the palace.

So Zhou Yuan used his lightness skill and flew towards the palace. Lin Yao and Su Yinhan watched the Regent leave.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. Su Yinhan walked towards Lin Yao: "Miss Lin, your clothes are wet too. Let me accompany you to your room to change!"

Seeing this, Lin Yao nodded. The two of them walked into the room next to Su Yinyin's room, one after the other.

After the two entered the room, Su Yinhan quickly closed the door. After closing the door, both of them gestured for silence.

Then they cautiously walked to the wall, listening intently to the sounds coming from Su Yinyin's room. In that instant, both of them felt their bodies slowly heating up, their heads spinning. They began to tug at their clothes.

Su Yinyin had already sensed someone entering the next room; upon closer listening, she recognized the footsteps of two people. Su Yinyin guessed, and understood.

Su Yinhan and Lin Yao want to see a show! Since you want to see a show, I'll let everyone see your show.

Su Yinyin sneered. Such despicable tactics, how dare they resort to them? Today, I'll let you taste the bitter fruit of this. Don't blame me for being ruthless.

When Su Yinyin entered the room, she had already smelled the faint scent of intoxicating fragrance. But her body was already immune to all poisons.

The first and fifth brothers, each carrying a man in one hand, dodged the guards and threw the four men into Su Yinhan's room through the window.

After cleaning up all traces in the room, they gave a signal and quickly retreated.

Those men had already received the man's instructions to send them girls today.

Su Yinyin heard panting, shouting, and excited sounds coming from the next room, a mixture of male and female voices, and knew that they were already together.

Su Yinyin quietly opened the door and gave a wink to the maid guarding outside.

The maid was very clever; she immediately understood and ran away. A short while later, she returned with a group of servants.

Su Yinyin opened the door and deliberately shouted loudly, "Help! There's a thief!" Her voice was clear and loud, echoing throughout the entire backyard.

Su Yinyin pretended to be panicked and ran out of the room. She faced the approaching guards and servants.

Pointing to the room where Su Yinhan was, she said, "This princess heard, heard a man's voice coming from that room! It scared this princess to death!" Su Yinhan spoke haltingly several times before she could finish her sentence.

Upon seeing this, the guards and servants quickly broke down the door and trapped the people inside.

Everyone was astonished by the scene. They had never seen anything like it before.

The scene was truly grand. The maidservant guarding the gate had gone to the banquet hall early to report to Princess Yong'an about Su Yinyin's encounter with the thieves.

Princess Yong'an heard the maid's report and feigned surprise, loudly rebuking, "How could this be? The Prince's mansion is heavily guarded; how could there be thieves? For the sake of the Princess's reputation, I, the Princess, will personally lead men to catch the thief."

After saying this, he got up and left. Those who wanted to see the spectacle followed closely behind.

Su Yinyin pretended to be extremely frightened and leaned on her maid.

Su Yinhan and Lin Yao blushed deeply, feeling utterly ashamed and indignant, wishing they could disappear into the ground. The pointing fingers and whispers of those around them pierced their hearts like needles.

At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "This is indecent!"

The others chimed in. Su Yinhan gritted her teeth and glared at Su Yinyin, knowing that Su Yinyin was definitely behind this.

Lin Yao lowered her head, filled with regret, realizing she shouldn't have listened to Su Yinhan's idea.

If I had stayed obediently in the Prince's mansion, none of this would have happened.

If she had stayed obediently in the Prince's residence, she would have had a chance to become a concubine. In the end, she lost everything!

Amidst the chaos, the princess arrived with her entourage. She was also taken aback by the sight before her.
