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

Chapter 280 Murong Yu Knows the Truth

Su Yinyin gently patted their hands and said softly, "Silly sisters, what are you thinking? How could your elder sister abandon you?"

But now you both have your own little families, and those families need your own careful management and attention.

Su Yi (Su Yao) said, "Since Yin Yin has already made up her mind, let's do it this way."

The old lady nodded and said, "Then let's do as Yinyin wishes."

After seeing that the elders all agreed, Su Yinyin instructed, "Biyu, go and invite Lin Jie, Uncle Lin, and Aunt Lin over here."

Su Yinyin felt that Nian An's husband and in-laws should be present.

Before long, Lin Jie and his family arrived in a hurry.

Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin followed along, their eyes wide with shock at what they saw, unsure of where to look.

They originally thought that the courtyard in front of them was already breathtaking enough.

But now...!

Sigh, I just can't get enough of what I see, there's never enough.

Uncle Lin asked with a puzzled look, "Princess, what is the purpose of summoning us here?"

Su Yinyin smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, I called you here today so that you could be my witnesses. I am going to distribute my mother's dowry to my sisters."

Uncle Lin said, "Princess, this is your family's private matter, we..."

Su Yinyin interrupted, "Uncle Lin, you are Nian'an's in-laws, please act as witnesses."

Uncle Lin nodded and said, "Then I will follow Your Highness's arrangements."

After Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin sat down.

Su Yinyin explained the dowry distribution plan in detail.

Su Yue and Su Nian'an were still a little hesitant. Su Yue said, "Big sister, isn't this too much?"

Su Yinyin said, "It's not much, it's just my eldest sister's heartfelt wish, I hope you can all live well."

Su Nian'an said, "If they're all given to us, what about you, eldest sister?"

"I am now a princess, receiving a salary from the court and having a fiefdom. How could I possibly starve to death?"

Su Yue and Su Nian'an accepted the gift with peace of mind after hearing Su Yinyin's words.

On a luxurious carriage speeding towards the capital.

Murong Yu was anxiously flipping through the various intelligence reports collected by his subordinates.

Murong Yu was extremely anxious. Two days had passed, and there was still no news from his mother.

Murong Yu was a prince of the Great Yan Kingdom, born to the Empress.

The Empress of the Great Yan Kingdom gave birth to three sons: Regent Zhou Yuan, Su Jianguo, and Murong Yu.

Her greatest love was Murong Yu's father, the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom.

The strategist sitting opposite Murong Yu said with a worried expression, "Your Highness, there has been no news from the Empress at all. This is really too abnormal."

Could it be that the Empress and the others have met with misfortune, and were secretly murdered by someone?

Upon hearing the strategist's words, Murong Yu was instantly enraged. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, angrily saying, "Absolutely impossible! The Empress Dowager has many capable people around her, and countless experts. How could she be so easily...!"

The strategist interrupted the prince without hesitation. He wasn't actually afraid of the prince's temper; what he was truly worried about was the empress's safety.

He was specially arranged by the Empress to be by Murong Yu's side and assist him in achieving great things.

Unfortunately, Murong Yu was stubborn and lacked real talent, so he had wanted to leave for a long time.

"Your Highness, don't forget that the palace storerooms and your mansion's storerooms were also stolen without a trace, and to this day, not a single clue has been found."

As the saying goes, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding; we have to prepare for the worst.

Murong Yu's eyes widened as he glared at the strategist and roared, "How dare you! I will not allow you to slander the Empress Dowager like this!"

The strategist shook his head helplessly and said, "Your Highness, I am also worried about your and Her Majesty the Empress's safety."

The situation is now unpredictable, full of unknowns and dangers; we must prepare for the worst, just in case.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yu sat down with a gloomy expression and said, "Then, in your opinion, what should I do?"

After a moment's thought, the strategist said, "Your Highness, let's send people to continue gathering information while strengthening our own defenses."

Furthermore, it is necessary to secretly and carefully investigate whether there are any unusual movements or disturbances within the court.

Murong Yu nodded and said, "As you say. However, if I find out who is behind this, I will tear them to pieces and make sure they suffer a terrible death!"

Just then, a guard rushed over and said urgently outside the carriage, "Your Highness, there is new information."

Murong Yu said urgently, "Speak quickly!"

The guard said, "According to the scouts, Su Yinyin has been granted the title of Princess Protector of the Nation."

And this letter, someone just delivered it. The person said that Your Highness must read it personally.

Murong Yu snatched the letter and quickly opened it.

The contents of the letter made him frown deeply, and his face grew increasingly gloomy, as if it could drip water.

"Your Highness, what exactly did the letter say?" the strategist asked curiously.

"Impossible, this is impossible, how could Mother be such a person?" Murong Yu stared at the letter in his hand, muttering to himself, as if he had lost his soul.

The strategist sitting opposite him saw Murong Yu's distraught appearance.

He took the letter from Murong Yu and read it. The strategist was also shocked by the contents of the letter and said, "What?! The regent of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Yuan, and the heir of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, Su Jianguo, are your half-brothers, Your Highness!"

This earth-shattering information truly frightened the strategist.

Murong Yu clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "There must be some misunderstanding. Mother Empress would never do something so disgraceful to the family!"

The strategist frowned and said, "Your Highness, this matter is of utmost importance. If the news is true, then our current situation will be even more difficult and dangerous."

Murong Yu roared, "No matter what, I will get to the bottom of this and find out the truth!"

By this time, the carriage had arrived in the capital.

Murong Yu led his men straight to the residence of Regent Zhou Yuan without hesitation.

Sitting in the carriage, Murong Yu was filled with inner turmoil, his thoughts in complete disarray.

Upon seeing this, the strategist quickly ordered the guards to go and knock on the door.

After hearing what the visitors wanted, the gatekeeper told them to wait at the gate.

The servant reported to the Emperor that Murong Yu had requested an audience with the Regent.

After weighing the pros and cons, the steward finally knocked on the Regent's study door.

"What is it?" Regent Zhou Yuan asked in a somber voice.

"Murong Yu of the Great Xia Kingdom requests an audience," the steward replied respectfully.

Zhou Yuan was slightly taken aback, then said, "Let him in."

Before long, Murong Yu entered the flower hall accompanied by his strategist.

Upon seeing Zhou Yuan, Murong Yu couldn't wait to question him: "Zhou Yuan, is what you said in the letter true or false?"

Zhou Yuan remained calm and said slowly, "Murong Yu, do you not even bow to me when you see me?"

Murong Yu shouted angrily, "What nonsense about formalities? Tell me right now, is this even true?"

Zhou Yuan sighed and said helplessly, "It is indeed true."

Murong Yu's eyes widened, and he roared in disbelief, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could my mother do this...! I don't believe it."

Explain this to me clearly! What exactly is going on?

Zhou Yuan said angrily, "I'm even less willing to believe this is true than you are."
