Chapter 192 The Dowager Consort Monitors the Marquis's Residence
Su Yinyin drank some warm water and said slowly, "If it weren't for Zhou Yuan, he wouldn't have acted so despicably. However, it's not impossible that someone else is using his name!"
Su Yinyin's expression softened slightly, and her tone became calm.
Just then, Su Yinyin's brother, Su Yao (Su Yi), rushed over. "Yinyin, there's a show to watch, why didn't you invite me?" Su Yao strode into the main hall, a smile on his face.
"Oh, why do you like watching plays so much? Haven't you always been annoyed by those low-class plays?" Su Yinyin teased, then rolled her eyes at Su Yao, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Su Yao smiled and sat down next to Su Yinyin. "Today's events are no ordinary drama. With you keeping everyone at arm's length, I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine will not let this go easily." There was a hint of worry in Su Yao's smile.
Su Yinyin rolled her eyes at him. "So what? Do you expect me to greet you with a smile?" There was a hint of stubbornness in Su Yinyin's tone!
Su Yao gently patted her shoulder, "Of course not, but we need to be careful."
Su Yao's movements were gentle, and his eyes were full of care!
"Brother, you came here today just for this play?"
"Of course not. It's Grandmother who wants to invite my sisters back to the Marquis's residence for the New Year. She asked me to inquire," Su Yao explained simply. His tone was relaxed, and his eyes held anticipation.
"So, what do you think, brother?" Su Yinyin kept staring into Su Yao's eyes.
"What I mean is, let's go to Grandma's house for a family reunion dinner first, and then go back to our own home, the Su family mansion, to celebrate the New Year."
Su Yinyin nodded after hearing Su Yao's words, "This arrangement is good."
A satisfied smile appeared on Su Yinyin's face!
"This is the purchase order, Uncle Li. Take some people to make the purchases right now. Let's have a happy New Year this year." Su Yao handed the note to Uncle Li, his tone decisive.
Uncle Li nodded and said, "Young Master, Miss, this year should be the happiest year for all of us."
With that, he picked up the note on the table, took his servants, and went out of the mansion to make purchases.
After Uncle Li left, only Su Yinyin, Su Yao, and Lao Yi remained in the main hall.
How does it feel to be my brother?
"Not bad. I used to listen to you. Now you should listen to me, right?" Su Yao smiled at Su Yinyin, a smug grin spreading across his face.
Su Yinyin raised an eyebrow. "Su Yi, what do you mean by that? Are you hiding something from me?" Her eyes were filled with suspicion.
Su Yao's smile faded, and his face turned serious. "Yinyin, actually, Grandmother's reason for asking us to go back this time isn't just for the New Year."
Su Yao's expression became very serious, and his tone became heavy!
Su Yinyin's heart skipped a beat. "Brother, please speak freely."
Su Yinyin's expression changed slightly, and her eyes became focused!
Su Yao said slowly, "My grandmother and I discovered that the Imperial Noble Consort has planted people in the Marquis's residence to monitor our Su family's every move." His voice was low, and his eyes revealed vigilance.
Su Yinyin sneered, "This Imperial Noble Consort is truly a persistent ghost."
Su Yinyin revealed a disdainful smile!
The older man said worriedly, "Miss, what should we do?"
Su Yao said confidently, "It's alright, we'll prepare in advance. Yinyin, you just need to pretend you don't know anything."
Su Yao's face was full of confidence as he patted Su Yinyin's hand!
Su Yinyin nodded. "In that case, I will listen to my brother. However, I am very curious, since I have severed ties with the Marquis's mansion, why is the Dowager Consort still arranging for people to monitor the Marquis's mansion?"
Have you noticed that, besides monitoring your grandmother and you, the Dowager Consort is also monitoring Su Jianguo and that scumbag Marquis?
Su Yi shook her head: "Haven't found anything yet?"
Su Yinyin pondered for a moment, "Perhaps they have other plans. Brother, we must find out the secrets hidden behind this as soon as possible." A thoughtful light flashed in Su Yinyin's eyes.
Su Yao responded, "That's right, Yinyin. I plan to start by investigating suspicious individuals within the Marquis's residence." Su Yao nodded, his eyes resolute.
Su Yinyin snorted lightly, "Is the Empress Dowager making such a fuss just because she doesn't want me to be her daughter-in-law? We must have touched her interests."
Su Yinyin's face showed a hint of anger!
Su Yao's gaze was firm. "No matter what, we will definitely be able to deal with any conspiracy or trickery."
Su Yinyin smiled slightly, "Yes, brother is right. Let's proceed according to the original plan."
A confident smile appeared on Su Yinyin's face!
The three were discussing something when Uncle Li came to report to Su Yinyin that the person outside the door claimed to be from the Prince's Mansion and named An Ying.
Su Yinyin frowned, inwardly annoyed. But she still wanted to see what trick he was up to this time.
So he instructed Uncle Li to bring the person over.
Upon seeing Su Yinyin, An Ying bowed respectfully and said, "Princess, the Prince misses you dearly and is unwell. He requests that you visit him." An Ying's expression was sincere, and his tone was filled with anxiety.
Su Yinyin sneered, "Don't try to fool me with that excuse, I won't fall for it."
Su Yinyin's face revealed a disdainful smile, her tone icy cold!
Su Yao stood up and stood in front of Su Yinyin, "Is your prince that weak? It's good that Yinyin had foresight and got rid of that prince."
Su Yao's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with anger!
Shadow didn't expect Su Yi to dare say that the prince was weak. But he didn't dare to argue: "This... after all, the princess and the prince have a deep friendship, and there is also the heir apparent in the middle. Please, princess, have pity on the prince."
An awkward smile appeared on Shadow's face, his voice tinged with pleading!
Su Yinyin said with a smile, "Since His Highness is unwell, Jin, go and fetch a doctor for him."
Su Yinyin wore a mocking smile!
Shadow hurriedly said, "Princess, the Prince only wants to see you; he won't see anyone else." Shadow's face was full of anxiety!
"That's his business, it has nothing to do with me." Su Yinyin's voice was as cold as ice.
Shadow tried to persuade him further, but Su Yao said, "Go back and tell Zhou Yuan to stop bothering my sister, or don't blame me for being impolite." Su Yao's voice was full of threat!
Shadow sighed helplessly and turned to leave.
After the shadow left, Su Yi said, "Wasn't this shadow the real one?" Su Yi frowned, seemingly lost in thought, and said...
Su Yinyin nodded: "Yes, the previous one was fake, this one is real." Su Yinyin's eyes were full of certainty.
The old man said, "Miss, we must be careful." His face was full of worry.
Su Yinyin pondered for a moment and said, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's prepare for the New Year according to plan first, and then we'll see how things go."
"Oh, right, Su Yi, my dear brother, don't just focus on enjoying yourself, don't forget about your work."
Su Yao chuckled and patted Su Yinyin's head. "You silly girl, always teasing me. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Su Yao said with a smile, his eyes full of affection.
Su Yinyin reminded him, "Brother, you must be careful when you return to the Marquis's mansion. Although their martial arts are not as good as yours, I'm afraid they might use underhanded tactics, and you won't be able to outwit them."
Su Yao laughed heartily, "Yinyin, you underestimate your brother. I don't even care about those tricks."
Su Yinyin still looked worried. "In short, we must not be careless."
Su bluntly stated, "However, that Zhou Yuan is a complete idiot. His own mother has been playing him for fools without him even realizing it. He's so stupid. He's really not good enough for my smart and beautiful sister."
