Chapter 108 was done by Su Yinyin.
After Zhou Yuan left the Imperial Noble Consort's palace, the consort looked dejectedly in the direction Zhou Yuan had left.
He hated Su Yinyin to the core. The son he raised had actually dared to talk back to him, question him, and doubt him because of her.
How could a woman like that stay by Zhou Yuan's side!
The Su residence was bustling with activity.
After Su Yinyin saw Zhou Yuan off, she returned to the villa and saw two adults and two children lying on the sofa in the living room.
She had a face mask on, which she had taken from Su Yinyin's room. Of course, only Bao Bao and Li Lan knew how to use it.
Without even thinking, Su Yinyin could guess who had suggested it.
Seeing this, Su Yinyin's frustration vanished completely. Her mood improved!
It turns out that the atmosphere is very important.
Hearing footsteps, everyone asked in unison, "Mother, you're back! Sister, you're back! Aunt, you're back! Sister Yinyin, you're back?"
This must be what home feels like!
Su Yinyin said with a smile, "I came back as soon as I finished my business. Bixia, I'm hungry. When can we have breakfast?"
Bixia, busy in the kitchen, heard her mistress's voice and came out: "Miss, you're welcome anytime."
After hearing Bixia's words, Su Yinyin smiled and walked towards the dining table.
Hearing that it was time to eat, the others followed. The table was already laden with exquisite breakfast dishes, their aroma filling the air.
Su Yinyin looked at them, pointed at their faces and said, "Don't you need to go to the restroom to remove the face masks from your faces?"
Li Lan realized what was happening and pulled Bao Bao and Xiao Xiao along, saying, "Come on, come on, come on, let's clean up first." Li Lan then turned back and added, "Sister Yin Yin, don't eat alone!"
Su Yinyin shook her head helplessly!
Everyone sat together, filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
After having breakfast, Su Yinyin prepared to leave for the Duke's mansion. She waited for a long time, but Li Lan didn't come downstairs.
Su Yinyin went upstairs and saw Li Lan lying on the sofa in the living room on the second floor, reading a book.
Su Yinyin walked over, took Li Lan's book, and said, "Let's go back to the Duke's mansion."
After sitting up, Li Lan pouted and said, "Sister Yinyin, I don't want to go back, and I don't want to go out. It's so warm here, and I don't have to wear bulky clothes, and...!"
Su Yinyin interrupted sharply: "Stop, get up and change your clothes! I promised your aunt yesterday that I would take you home today. If you want to stay here, you'll have to do everything yourself. Are you comfortable living here like a spoiled young lady?"
After Su Yinyin finished speaking, she went downstairs. A short while later, the five of them squeezed into a carriage and slowly made their way towards the Duke's mansion.
The carriage drove directly into the Duke's mansion. There were simply too many spies outside the Duke's mansion.
As usual, Su Yinyin and the others went to greet the old lady first. However, on the way, Su Yinyin was pulled into the study by the Duke and Li Yanche.
In the study, Su Yinyin sat opposite the two men, leisurely sipping tea.
Seeing their adoring gazes, so intensely intense, Su Yinyin spoke first: "You two, just ask me what you want to say. Don't look at me like that, it scares me."
The Duke spoke first: "Yinyin, I heard that the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort's private treasury was completely ransacked. You are very astute, what are your thoughts on this?"
Su Yinyin put down her teacup and smiled faintly, "Uncle, why don't you just ask directly, did you do it?"
Li Yanche nodded approvingly; he liked Su Yinyin's quick wit and outspokenness.
Su Yinyin smiled slightly, "Then I'll just admit it openly, I did it, I was just really angry!"
The Duke took Su Yinyin's anger to heart and immediately declared, "Yinyin, who will tolerate your anger? Your uncle will stand up for you!"
Li Yanche looked at his father speechlessly. Couldn't he listen to his cousin's explanation before giving his opinion?
Su Yinyin said, "Who else could it be? So many people are watching me outside my mansion and want to kill me, so I'm just teaching them a lesson and collecting some interest."
Upon hearing this, the Duke's eyes widened. "Yinyin, do you know how serious this is? What if it's discovered...!"
Su Yinyin waved her hand dismissively, "Uncle, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. You know I have a powerful confidant and I have a powerful backer. Those people won't find any evidence."
The Duke's man slammed his hand on the table: "Indeed, I was too worried. Besides, A-Yin is a weak woman, and I completely forgot about her abilities."
Li Yanche chimed in, "Father, Cousin Yinyin is exceptionally intelligent and will certainly not leave any evidence against her. However, Yinyin, after this incident, those who are secretly plotting against you will likely be even more enraged and will act against you."
Su Yinyin raised an eyebrow slightly. "So what? I'll deal with whatever comes my way. They're trying to scheme against me, so naturally I'll fight back. Besides, if someone's trying to kill me, why wouldn't I fight back?"
"Ayin, whoever kills her, her uncle will take his life!" The Duke truly had no idea what had happened to Su Yinyin last night.
This morning, news came from the palace that the emperor's private treasury had been robbed, and in a way that was completely undetected. He thought of Su Yinyin.
Upon hearing Su Yinyin say that someone tried to kill her last night, the Duke was extremely shocked.
Su Yinyin looked at the Duke and slowly said, "Uncle, this is a long story. Last night, when I left the Marquis's residence and was about to go home, a large group of assassins suddenly appeared and wanted to kill me."
Of course, none of these people were a match for the First Prince. The First Prince deliberately let some assassins go. It was later discovered that the Imperial Noble Consort was behind it.
The Duke was shocked: "The Imperial Noble Consort, the Regent's mother, and Bao Bao's grandmother? Ayin, do you have any concrete evidence?"
Su Yinyin smiled slyly: "Of course." Then Su Yinyin took out a handwritten letter from the Imperial Noble Consort from the bag.
The Duke took the letter, opened it, and exclaimed, "Outrageous! Outrageous!"
Seeing his father so angry, Li Yanche went forward to read the contents of the letter. He was also extremely shocked.
Li Yanche asked, "How will the Regent handle this matter?"
Su Yinyin didn't take it seriously: "Him? He came to apologize on behalf of his mother this morning!"
"What, that's all?" the Duke and Li Yanche asked in unison.
"Yes, so I've decided to part ways with him?"
Duke: "What about the baby?"
Su Yinyin crossed her arms over her chest, her face resolute, "I will take care of the baby myself."
The Duke sighed, "Ayin, have you thought this through? Offending the Regent is no small matter."
Su Yinyin sneered, "Uncle, I am not a pushover. He can't protect me, and he condones his mother's actions. Why should I get entangled with him anymore?"
