Chapter 242 Su Gaojie's Resentment
Su Yinyin replied respectfully, "Yinyin dares not take credit, she only hopes that Her Majesty the Empress will recover soon."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "You may leave!"
After Su Yinyin left the imperial study, the emperor murmured softly, "Let's see what the Su siblings are up to first."
The emperor frowned, lost in thought!
He also ordered his secret guards to secretly investigate the evidence provided by Su Yinyin.
After leaving the palace, Su Yinyin rushed to the Su residence without stopping.
She buried herself in her bed, oblivious to the raging storm outside.
Inside the Marquis's residence, people were discussing Su Jianguo's affairs.
The common people are all standing up for Su Yinyin.
But soon, the emperor's edict caused an even bigger uproar.
"This Su Yinyin actually managed to get His Majesty to strip the Marquis of Yongyi of his title, she's truly amazing!"
"Hmph, they probably used some underhanded methods."
The common people outside the government building watched the spectacle and discussed it amongst themselves.
The masters in the Marquis's mansion were stunned for a long time.
Especially Marquis Yongyi, who stood there dumbfounded.
Seeing the dejected look on Marquis Yongyi's face, Eunuch Li felt happy for Su Yinyin.
Eunuch Li said, "Marquis Yongyi, receive the imperial decree!"
Eunuch Li shouted in a shrill voice!
Marquis Yongyi seemed to wake from a dream, and with trembling hands, he accepted the imperial edict, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
Then, Eunuch Li read out another imperial edict conferring upon Su Yao the title of Marquis of Yongyi.
Upon hearing the imperial decree bestowing upon Su Yao the title of Marquis Yongyi, the expressions of the people in the Marquis's residence varied. Some were jealous, some were envious, and some secretly rejoiced that they had not offended Su Yinyin and her brother before.
Amidst the complex gazes of the crowd, Su Yao solemnly accepted the imperial edict.
As Su Yinyin stepped into the Marquis's residence, all eyes were on her.
When Marquis Yongyi Su Gaojie saw Su Yinyin arrive, he quickly walked up to her, raised his hand, and slapped her face.
Su Yinyin saw Su Gaojie arrive. She knew exactly what Su Gaojie wanted to do, so she was prepared long ago.
Just as the slap was about to land, Su Yinyin stepped back, and Su Gaojie's slap missed its mark.
Seeing that his slap had missed, Su Gaojie was even more furious: "You unfilial daughter, how dare you dodge!"
Su Gaojie's face flushed red, and he roared loudly!
Seeing this, the old lady stepped forward to block Su Yinyin's path, glaring at Su Gaojie and saying, "You unfilial son, what do you think you're doing?"
Su Yinyin patted the old lady's hand and pulled her to her side.
Su Yinyin sneered: "You rebellious daughter, is it appropriate for you to address me, the princess, like that? You are no longer the Marquis of Yongyi, yet you still bully me, the princess? Su Gaojie, you are now just a commoner, don't you kowtow and pay your respects to me, the princess?"
Su Yinyin crossed her arms and looked at Su Gaojie with a cold smile!
Everyone around gasped in surprise, not expecting Su Yinyin to be so defiant towards Su Gaojie.
Su Gaojie glared angrily: "You ungrateful wretch! I'm still your father!"
Su Gaojie's eyes widened in fury!
Su Yinyin's gaze was icy: "Father? Hmph, this princess has no father, and even if she did, he is long dead! You want to be this princess's father? That's not impossible, but may I ask? Are you dead?"
Su Yinyin's eyes were filled with disgust and mockery!
Su Gaojie was so angry at Su Yinyin's words that his face turned ashen. He pointed at Su Yinyin and trembled as he said, "You unfilial and disobedient wretch, how dare you curse me like this!"
Su Yinyin was not afraid at all, and said with her head held high, "Me, disobedient and unfilial? Who have I disobeyed? Who have I been unfilial to? Who in the capital does not know that I have no father!"
Su Yinyin raised her chin, showing no sign of backing down!
Enraged, Su Gaojie roared, "You rebellious daughter, how dare you scheme against me!"
Su Yinyin sneered, "My lord, you are mistaken. You have committed many mistakes, shouldn't you be punished?"
Su Yinyin's lips curled up into a mocking smile!
Su Gaojie pointed at Su Yinyin and said, "What good will it do you if I fall from power? You rebellious daughter, don't you see anything good about me?"
Su Gaojie was furious, his voice trembling!
Su Yinyin sneered, "I'm glad you're unlucky. You should thank me, because if I hadn't shown mercy, you and all of you would be in jail right now."
Su Gaojie, don't you understand what you've done? Instead of being grateful, you dare to criticize this princess?
Su Yinyin's gaze was sharp, and every word she uttered was like a knife stabbing at Su Gaojie!
Su Yinyin looked at everyone present. Upon hearing Su Yinyin's words, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Everyone is wondering what Su Jianguo did to get everyone in the Marquis's mansion imprisoned.
Su Gaojie pointed at Su Yinyin, trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time: "You, you, you...!"
Su Yinyin said, "Su Gaojie, what you did to my mother, brother, and sister is enough to make you pay for it even if you die a hundred times. If it weren't for the old lady's sake, do you think I would have spared your life?"
Su Gaojie stood there, panting heavily, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness.
At this moment, the old lady spoke up, "Su Gaojie, you have committed such a grave mistake and still do not repent. Yinyin has already been more than kind to you."
The old lady's voice was filled with disappointment and anger.
Su Gaojie glared at the old lady and said, "Mother, how dare you speak up for this rebellious daughter? I am your own son!"
The old lady shook her head and sighed, "If you had acted uprightly and honestly, how could you have ended up like this? You and Su Jianguo have ruined the reputation of the Marquis's mansion!"
Su Yao stepped forward and said to Su Yinyin, "Yinyin, don't take it to heart. It's not worth getting yourself sick from getting angry."
Su Yinyin nodded slightly and said, "Brother, I know."
Watching the brother and sister's coordinated attack, Su Gaojie's anger flared even more: "Su Yao, don't be too smug. You won't be able to hold onto this position in the Marquis's mansion!"
Su Yao replied calmly, "Then there's no need for you to trouble yourself. I will do my best to revitalize the Marquis's mansion."
The servants of the Marquis's mansion whispered among themselves, all criticizing Su Gaojie.
"It's all the fault of Marquis Yongyi, who has turned the Marquis's mansion into a mess."
"That's right. Now that the new Marquis has taken office, I hope the Marquis's mansion can regain its former glory."
Su Yinyin looked around and said, "From now on, my brother will be in charge of the Marquis's mansion. If anyone dares to cause trouble, don't blame this princess for being ruthless!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Seeing that no one supported him, Su Gaojie turned to leave.
Su Yinyin shouted, "Stop!"
Su Yinyin walked to Su Gaojie's side and said in a low voice, "Su Gaojie, this is just the beginning. I hope you can withstand my revenge!"
