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

Chapter 238 The Appearance of Su Jianguo

"I, the Marquis, am willing to apologize to the Princess and offer compensation," Marquis Yongyi said hastily, his eyes filled with pleading.

Su Yinyin snorted coldly, turned her head away, and stopped looking at Marquis Yongyi: "My lord, this compensation is not something that can be done casually."

"I am willing to offer a thousand taels of gold as a token of my apology," Marquis Yongyi said through gritted teeth.

Su Yinyin smiled slightly: "The Marquis is very generous, but this matter has caused great damage to my reputation. Gold alone is probably not enough."

Su Yinyin smiled, but her eyes were icy cold.

Marquis Yongyi's face grew increasingly grim and unpleasant: "Then what does the princess want?"

Su Yinyin's gaze sharpened: "My lord, besides the money, you also need to clear my name in front of everyone and apologize to me."

Su Yinyin's gaze was sharp as a sword, staring directly at Marquis Yongyi.

Although Marquis Yongyi was unwilling, he had no choice but to agree due to the circumstances.

Marquis Yongyi looked at the common people outside the gate, feeling deeply resentful. What kind of father apologizes to his daughter?

Yes, what kind of father apologizes to his daughter? That's against human ethics.

Therefore, Marquis Yongyi said with a straight face, "Su Yinyin, I am your father. What kind of father apologizes to his daughter?"

Marquis Yongyi straightened his chest, trying to appear dignified.

Upon hearing this, Su Yinyin sneered and said, "Father, I don't have a father like you. Don't make up stories."

Su Yinyin threw her head back and laughed loudly, her laughter filled with grief and indignation.

Marquis Yongyi trembled with rage at Su Yinyin's words, pointing at her and saying, "You rebellious daughter, how dare you be so disobedient!"

Su Yinyin was fearless, meeting the gaze of the Marquis of Yongyi directly, and said, "My lord, ever since you drove me out of the Marquis's mansion, disregarding the lives of me and my child, and even ordering people to beat me and throw me into a mass grave."

You will no longer be my father. If you don't admit your mistake today, don't expect to get away easily.

Su Yinyin's gaze was firm, and every word she spoke was resounding.

Seeing this, Lord Chen said, "My lord, things have come to this point, you should admit your mistake and not continue this stalemate." Lord Chen shook his head helplessly and advised.

Eunuch Li chimed in, "My lord, I advise you to go along with the princess's wishes. Otherwise, if this matter reaches the Emperor, you'll be in a difficult position to handle."

Eunuch Li's expression was serious, and his tone carried a warning.

Marquis Yongyi's expression was uncertain as he weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Under pressure from the crowd, Marquis Yongyi finally lowered his head and said, "Princess Anguo, I was wrong!"

Marquis Yongyi managed to squeeze out these words, his voice barely audible.

Su Yinyin said, "Hmm, Marquis Yongyi's apology was quite sincere. However, this princess will not accept it."

"You're playing me for fools...!" Marquis Yongyi glared at Su Yinyin.

Su Yinyin said with a grin, "So what if I'm teasing you...!"

Su Yinyin said to Lord Chen, "Lord Chen, this princess wants to accuse Marquis Yongyi and Su Jianguo of plotting to harm this princess and the old lady."

Lord Chen's expression hardened, and he said, "Please tell me in detail, Princess."

Su Yinyin said, "Lord Chen, the old lady invited me to the mansion for a gathering that day. When I met the old lady, I had only exchanged a few words with her."

Su Jianguo then led his men in, directly taking the old lady hostage and threatening me with my life. Not only did Marquis Yongyi not stop them, but he also set up this trap, attempting to frame me for the murder of the old lady. His intentions are despicable!

What Su Yinyin said was half true and half false.

She was trying to disrupt their plans, a mix of truth and deception.

Marquis Yongyi retorted loudly, "Su Yinyin, don't make false accusations!"

Marquis Yongyi was furious and roared loudly.

Su Yinyin sneered, "My lord, now that things have come to this, do you still want to deny it? Many servants in the manor can testify to this."

At this time, some servants of the Marquis's residence can testify.

Marquis Yongyi turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

Lord Chen slammed his gavel and shouted, "Marquis Yongyi, what else do you have to say?"

Marquis Yongyi stammered and could no longer speak.

Eunuch Li said from the side, "My lord, having committed such a crime, you will likely face severe punishment."

Su Yinyin said, "Lord Chen, I hope you can make a fair judgment and seek justice for me and the old lady."

Lord Chen solemnly replied, "Princess, rest assured, I will handle this according to the law and will not tolerate any wrongdoing."

Standing in the crowd, Su Jianguo finally couldn't hold back and retorted directly: "No, things are not as Su Yinyin said."

Su Jianguo's face flushed red as he shouted loudly.

Su Yinyin heard the voice; it was loud and strong. This medicine is pretty good!

Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Su Yinyin was no exception, and followed the others to look over.

In fact, Su Yinyin had already spotted Su Jianguo in the crowd.

Of course, it's true that Su Jianguo was in a coma. It's also true that he was conscious. As for how he got to the scene...

It was Su Yi who tricked Su Jianguo into coming to this place.

Lord Chen roared, "Su Jianguo, stop talking nonsense and tell the truth!"

Su Jianguo braced himself and stepped forward, saying, "Sir, it was Su Yinyin who was disrespectful to the old lady first, which is why I intervened."

Su Jianguo stubbornly refused to listen and resorted to sophistry.

Su Yinyin snorted coldly: "Su Jianguo, you're quite adept at twisting the truth. Back then, it was clearly you who was unreasonable and took the old lady hostage."

Su Yinyin glared at her, her words sharp and cutting.

Su Jianguo retorted, "You're talking nonsense. It's clear that you intended to harm the Marquis's mansion. I had no choice but to do it in order to protect the Marquis's mansion."

Su Jianguo's eyes darted around, and he continued to make excuses.

Lord Chen frowned deeply: "You're all sticking to your own versions of events. Who's telling the truth?"

At this moment, Su Yinyin said, "Lord Chen, why not summon the other servants who were present that day to come and confront them? The truth will then become clear."

Lord Chen nodded and said, "Someone, summon the servants who were present that day."

Before long, several servants were brought to the front of the hall.

Lord Chen asked, "Tell me the truth, what exactly happened that day?"

The servants looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them mustered his courage and said, "Sir, it was the young master who took the old lady hostage. What the princess said is true."

The servant answered tremblingly.

Su Jianguo glared at him angrily: "How dare you talk nonsense!"

Lord Chen slammed his gavel: "Su Jianguo, the evidence is irrefutable, how dare you still try to argue!"

Su Jianguo's face was ashen, and he collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.
