Chapter 230 Fame
Arriving at the cell where the man in black was being held, Su Yinyin looked at him coldly, her gaze seemingly capable of freezing a person. "Do you really think you can withstand all the torture? If you reveal who's behind this, this princess might spare your life."
The man in black gave a bitter laugh. "Princess, don't waste your time."
Su Yinyin's eyes flashed sharply, like a sword. "Fine, since that's the case, then don't blame this princess for being impolite."
Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside.
"Miss, something terrible has happened! A group of uninvited guests have arrived at the manor!" Biyu rushed over, her face pale and panting.
Su Yinyin's heart sank, as if she had fallen into an abyss. "Let's go, let's go see!"
Upon arriving at the front yard, they saw a group of mysterious people dressed in black standing there, each with a gloomy expression and an aura of murderous intent.
The leader said, "Princess Su, hand over the person, or the Su family will not have peace today."
Su Yinyin shouted angrily, "How dare you trespass into the Su residence!"
"Enough with the nonsense, hand over the person," the leader said again, his tone forceful and unyielding.
Su Yinyin was speechless at the person in charge. So she made a gesture.
The first, second, fifth, and Biyu all drew their swords and leaped into the air!
The two sides instantly descended into a fierce melee.
The first and second brothers were agile and wielded sharp swords. Wherever they went, people fell to the ground and never got up, like autumn leaves swept away by the wind.
The fifth brother, with his agile movements, weaved through the crowd like a nimble fish, occasionally delivering a fatal blow to his enemies.
Although Biyu was a woman, she was not afraid at all. Her sword dance was as beautiful as a flower, forcing her opponent to retreat repeatedly. She was heroic and valiant.
Su Yinyin observed the situation from the side, her eyes sharp, searching for the opponent's weakness.
Suddenly, she realized that although the leader's moves were fierce, his lower body was unstable.
"Oldest, attack his lower body!" Su Yinyin shouted loudly, her voice clear and decisive.
Following Su Yinyin's instructions, the old man changed his sword stance and thrust it straight at the leader's leg. Caught off guard, the man staggered.
The second brother seized the opportunity and pointed his sword at his throat: "Surrender now!"
However, at that moment, another person suddenly rushed out from the crowd. This person was highly skilled and forced the second-in-command back in just a few moves.
"Princess, this person is formidable!" the second son exclaimed, his voice tinged with anxiety.
"Second brother, show me your true strength," Su Yinyin said, her voice steady and firm.
Upon hearing this, the second brother channeled his internal energy, channeling it into his sword.
The sword in the old man's hand instantly surged with sword energy. He roared and attacked the person with profound skill once again.
The two clashed with swords, their sword energy spreading everywhere. People around them quickly moved aside, afraid of being injured by the sword energy.
At this moment, Su Yinyin noticed that the other members of the opposing side had begun to rush into the Su residence in an organized manner.
"Oh no, they're trying to use a feint! First Brother, Fifth Brother, stop them!" Su Yinyin shouted urgently.
The first and fifth brothers immediately turned around and engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black who were trying to rush into the mansion.
Like the second brother, the first and fifth brothers also activated their internal energy.
Each move was fatal. Soon, the men in black fell to the ground, dead.
Su Yinyin closely watched the battle between the second brother and the powerful enemy. She saw the second brother enhance his internal strength, and his sword flashed like lightning, stabbing straight at the opponent's right shoulder.
The man couldn't dodge in time and was stabbed in the shoulder. He groaned and staggered back a few steps.
Seeing this, Su Yinhan shouted, "Take him down now!"
The second brother pressed his advantage, his swordplay becoming increasingly fierce, and the powerful enemy gradually found it difficult to defend himself.
Ultimately, he was imprisoned in Su Yinyin's cell.
Despite the great battle that ravaged the Su family estate, the family suffered significant losses of houses and belongings.
However, news of this major battle spread rapidly, especially among those forces that were paying close attention to the Su family. An emergency meeting was convened.
The emperor still sent spies to keep a close eye on the Su residence.
In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing memorials when his personal guard came to report.
Upon hearing this, the emperor was relieved that he hadn't taken action. Thank you.
After a moment of contemplation, the emperor made up his mind. He summoned the chief eunuch and ordered him to make a trip to the residence of the Marquis of Yongyi.
Su Yinyin looked at the mess in the Su mansion, her face solemn, as if shrouded in a gloom.
"Miss, what should we do next?" the old man asked, his tone tinged with worry.
Su Yinyin pondered for a moment, her eyes resolute. "First, clean up the mess and strengthen the defenses of the manor. Now that those hidden forces know about this, they certainly won't let it go."
However, it also lets those people think twice about their own strength.
Everyone got busy cleaning up the battlefield and repairing the houses.
Meanwhile, in a mysterious mansion in the capital, several people were sitting together discussing something.
"We were surprised that Su Yinyin was able to resolve the crisis so quickly this time," one person said, his brows furrowed and his face full of disbelief.
"Hmph, it's just a temporary victory. She offended the wrong person, and she'll pay the price sooner or later," another person said coldly, their tone filled with jealousy and resentment.
"So what should we do next? Continue sending people to probe?"
"Let's hold back for now and observe her movements. See if she has a more powerful force backing her."
Meanwhile, in the study of the Marquis of Yongyi's residence, the Marquis and Su Jianguo were anxiously waiting.
Just then, there was a knock on the door…!
Su Jianguo hurriedly got up to open the door, only to see the butler walking in looking rushed.
"My lord, young master, something terrible has happened! People from the palace have arrived!" The steward's voice trembled slightly.
Marquis Yongyi frowned deeply: "Don't panic, do you know what this is about?"
The steward shook his head: "I don't know, I only saw that he was the chief eunuch by the Emperor's side."
Su Jianguo's face turned pale: "Father, what should we do? Could it be that the Emperor knows about our plot?"
Marquis Yongyi took a deep breath: "Go out and greet them first, then act according to the situation."
The two arrived at the front hall, where the chief eunuch was sitting, expressionless.
"Greetings, Your Excellency," Marquis Yongyi said, bowing.
The chief eunuch raised his hand: "Your Excellency is too kind. I am here today on the Emperor's orders."
Marquis Yongyi's heart tightened: "Please speak, Your Excellency."
The chief eunuch narrowed his eyes: "Is the Marquis aware of the recent events at the Su residence?"
Marquis Yongyi hurriedly replied, "I have heard of it, but I do not know the details."
The chief eunuch sneered, "My lord, nothing in the capital can escape the Emperor's eyes. The Emperor instructed me to tell you not to do anything wrong."
Marquis Yongyi was sweating profusely: "Your subject will humbly obey Your Majesty's teachings."
The chief eunuch stood up: "My lord, it would be best to change the position of heir apparent. My lord, please take care of yourself. I will return to the palace to report back immediately."
Watching the chief eunuch's departing figure, Su Jianguo slumped into his chair: "Father, what are we going to do now?"
Marquis Yongyi gritted his teeth: "Don't rush, let's discuss this further."
