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

Chapter 160 Attending a Banquet 3

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Su Yinhan said, "Princess, I was wrong before, please punish me."

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Yinyin's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "What are you up to now? If you truly want to admit your mistake, then show it. Don't try to confuse the issue with these tricks."

Su Yinhan raised her tearful eyes, "Princess, Han'er wishes to offer her most cherished possession as an apology."

Everyone watched her curiously, wondering what she was up to. Then, Su Yinhan slowly took out a jade hairpin from her sleeve. The hairpin appeared to be quite valuable, and everyone wondered if Su Yinhan would accept it.

Princess Yong'an's face also turned ashen. She snorted and said nothing more.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall became oppressive, and everyone lowered their heads silently, not daring to say a word.

Su Yinyin took the jade hairpin, examined it, and immediately realized that it belonged only to the Princess Consort, the principal wife. It seems this Prince Yong'an is truly foolish!

And Su Yinhan took out this item to apologize to me; her heart is truly wicked!

Su Yinyin said lightly, "Such a precious item is beyond my ability to accept. I will give it to the Princess Consort, and I hope the Princess Consort will not find it offensive."

Princess Yong'an: "Then thank you very much for your generosity, Princess."

After the princess's maid took the jade hairpin, she returned to the princess's side.

Su Yinyin stared intently at the person on the ground. "Su Yinhan, this is only the second step. I hope you can endure all the punishment."

If you were to expose your most beautiful face to the public, I wonder if you would faint from fright.

Su Yinyin checked the time; Su Yinhan's appearance should be returning to its original state soon.

With your face full of wrinkles, I wonder if it will scare your girlfriends?

Although Su Yinhan had her head down, Su Yinyin still smelled a familiar scent.

"Since Consort Su is so sincere, and I am not a narrow-minded person, let's leave it at that! Rise!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked back to her seat. She couldn't block others from admiring Su Yinhan's beauty!

After Su Yinhan stood up, she naturally took out a scarf, intending to put it on and cover her face.

But the moment she stood up, her entire face was exposed to everyone.

When everyone saw Su Yinhan's wrinkled face, they gasped in surprise.

Some of the maids were so frightened that they covered their eyes, and the timid young ladies turned their heads away.

Su Yinhan panicked and hurriedly covered her face with a gauze scarf, but it was too late.

Su Yinyin feigned surprise and said, "Oh dear, Consort Su, what happened to your face? Could it be that you have contracted some strange illness?"

Su Yinhan harbored deep hatred for Su Yinyin, especially regarding the problem on her face. Only those within the Prince's residence knew the truth, and Su Yinhan had explicitly stated that anyone who dared to leak it would be considered an enemy of her.

She kept it very secret. Fearing exposure, she turned down many social engagements.

She secretly sought treatment from a renowned healer. As a result, all her efforts were in vain today.

It's all that quack doctor's fault; he took the money but didn't cure her. She could only grit her teeth and say, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I'll go and freshen up first, then take my leave."

Su Yinyin's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as she said softly, "Consort Su, are you just going to leave us here like this? I heard you've been preparing for this banquet for a long time; it's not going to end so blandly, is it?"

Su Yinhan's anger reached its peak. It was all the fault of the divine physician and the prince; they couldn't even handle such a small matter, making her look so foolish.

The crowd pointed and whispered about Su Yinhan's retreating figure, while Su Yinhan smiled with satisfaction.

But she knew this wasn't enough. Su Yinhan definitely had powerful backers, and she certainly wouldn't let this go easily. Today, she would wipe them all out!

At this moment, Su Yinyin's personal nanny leaned over and whispered, "Princess, today's actions will surely cause Consort Su to lose favor, but we must be extra careful."

Su Yinyin nodded slightly, her eyes showing determination. No matter what, she would watch the show first!

Su Yinhan had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with it. She knew that Su Yinyin must have some ulterior motive, but for the moment she could only take it one step at a time.

The group resumed their conversation over snacks, but still occasionally stole glances at Su Yinyin.

At this moment, a noble lady suddenly stood up and said in a sweet voice, "I've heard that Princess Su is a master of the zither. It's a rare occasion for us to gather here today, so why don't you play a piece to add to the merriment?"

Su Yinyin glanced at her, knowing that this was a deliberate attempt to make things difficult, after all, she used to be a good-for-nothing.

The original owner was indeed a good-for-nothing. Raised by Lady Hou, she was completely ignorant, unable to compose poetry, play the zither, burn incense, or embroider. She was utterly useless.

Lady Hou went to great lengths to cultivate Su Yinhan, hiring the best teachers for her and shaping her into a talented woman.

Before Su Yinyin could respond, Su Yue grabbed Su Yinyin's hand and said worriedly, "Sister."

Su Yinyin smiled and comforted her, "Trust your sister!" Only then did Su Yue let go of Su Yinyin's hand.

Everyone knew Su Yinyin's reputation and was watching the show.

Su Yinyin did not disappoint them, "This princess did not know that the client should perform first, otherwise Consort Su would have to go first."

Su Yinhan was surprised that Su Yinyin would kick the ball back, and her face turned pale and then red.

She knew that although her piano skills were quite good, she had just been involved in such an embarrassing incident, and if she played poorly now, it would only make matters worse. But with everyone watching, she couldn't refuse.

Helpless, Su Yinhan could only sit down at the zither. Her fingers had just touched the strings when she accidentally plucked the wrong note, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

She became increasingly nervous, and her playing became increasingly halting. By the time she finally finished, she was drenched in sweat.

Su Yinyin stood up and said to Su Yinyin, "Please, Princess."

Seeing this, Su Yinyin raised her eyebrows slightly, and then walked gracefully to the zither.

In her previous life, she was proficient in all kinds of musical instruments, so this mere guqin was naturally no problem for her.

Su Yinyin stood up gracefully, curtsied, and said, "Thank you for your kind offer. I'll make a fool of myself."

Having said that, she gracefully moved towards where the guqin was placed. Su Yinhan was secretly delighted, thinking that Su Yinyin was bound to embarrass herself.

Su Yinyin sat down and gently plucked the strings to test the sound. In an instant, beautiful music poured out like flowing water.

Everyone was shocked, never expecting that the former good-for-nothing would possess such skills.

As Su Yinyin played the piano, she secretly channeled her inner energy, and an invisible force attacked Su Yinhan.

Su Yinhan felt a wave of dizziness and swayed. Seeing this, Su Yinyin paused, the music abruptly stopping, and feigned concern, asked, "What's wrong, Consort Su? Are you still reeling from the shock?"

Su Yinhan was about to speak in her defense when she felt a tightness in her throat and was unable to utter a word.
