Chapter 264 Su Yinyin's Suspicion
After discovering that Su Jianguo was also her son, Zhou Yuan was unable to accept this cruel fact, let alone face Su Yinyin and the baby.
How could they let the world know about such a complex relationship between them?
Therefore, Zhou Yuan devoted all his efforts and tried every means to handle this matter cleanly.
Zhou Yuan ordered his guards to bury her hastily on the spot.
She never expected that her own son wouldn't even glance at her.
And it was done very hastily; they buried her without even a proper coffin.
Not long after Zhou Yuan left with his guards, a group of masked men hurriedly arrived.
Besides the cold corpses of their companions,
Seeing the hastily buried traces on the ground, the leader of the masked men sneered, "Zhou Yuan is truly heartless."
His face was as gloomy as the oppressive sky before a storm, so dark it was almost suffocating.
His eyes were filled with a burning rage, as if he were about to unleash flames that could burn the land to ashes.
A person next to him chimed in, "The prince is probably bewitched by that Su Yinyin, and he doesn't even care about his own mother."
It turned out that the masked men were her subordinates, but they were still a step too late.
The master was still killed by Su Yinyin.
Another masked man said, "Sir, what do we do now? The lady is dead. If we go back, the Crown Prince will not let us go. We will only face death."
His voice was filled with undisguised fear and despair; his legs were weak and he was about to collapse to the ground, as if he could already see his tragic end.
The masked man in the lead pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go find Su Yinyin to take revenge. If we bring her head back, perhaps His Highness the Crown Prince will spare our lives."
The masked men echoed their agreement, a faint but hopeful spark rekindling in their eyes.
Another masked man asked, "What about the regent?"
The masked leader said, "With the strength of our group, we can't touch the Regent for the time being."
"Leaving aside the Regent for now, Su Yinyin is currently isolated and helpless, which is the perfect opportunity for us to make our move."
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the masked leader, his gaze as that of a hungry wolf eyeing its wounded prey, filled with greed and cruelty.
"Yes, sir!" the crowd replied in unison, their voices carrying a hint of determination and sorrow.
The masked leader gave the order: "You, go and inform the Crown Prince and the Princess immediately. The rest of you, set off."
What the masked men didn't expect was that their original plan was to catch up and kill Su Yinyin directly.
If that doesn't work, we should first find out Su Yinyin's whereabouts and the situation of the Su family, and then wait for an opportunity to act.
What the masked man didn't expect was that Su Yinyin had long anticipated that this woman's subordinates would seek revenge for her.
So Su Yinyin, along with Lao Liu and Lao Qi, deliberately slowed down to see if the masked men were following.
When the masked men chased her into a gloomy grove of trees, Su Yinyin's carriage stopped.
Su Yinyin stepped out of the carriage, stood on it, and coldly demanded, "What do you want?"
Her voice was as cold as frost, and her gaze held an awe-inspiring majesty, like a queen high above, in control of everything, looking down on the crowd who were like ants at her feet.
The masked leader laughed wildly: "The one who will take your life."
The masked man didn't waste any words and immediately started attacking fiercely.
The sixth and seventh brothers rose into the air.
The two men brandished their swords.
The masked men didn't even have to make a single move before they all collapsed to the ground.
The masked men's bodies fell like withered leaves, their blood instantly staining the ground red. The bloody scene was shocking, like a terrifying painting from hell.
The masked leader never expected that Su Yinyin's subordinates would be so capable.
They didn't even have a chance to get close to Su Yinyin.
He gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, pulled out the poison powder he had hidden in his pocket, and suddenly threw it at Su Yinyin.
Su Yinyin remained calm and composed, gently flicking her sleeve. A gust of wind swept by, and the poison powder flew back towards the masked man.
The masked men were terrified and tried to escape, but it was too late. All the masked men, poisoned, began to convulse. Soon after, they all vomited blood and died.
Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar.
It turned out that Zhou Yuan was worried and had returned. Seeing the scene before him, he instantly understood everything.
Zhou Yuan dismounted and slowly walked towards Su Yinyin, saying softly, "Yinyin, I know you are capable of handling this, but I'm still worried about you."
His eyes held a hint of concern, and his voice was gentle and low, as if he were afraid of disturbing Su Yinyin.
Su Yinyin turned her head away, completely ignoring him.
Zhou Yuan looked at Su Yinyin again, "Yinyin, what happened before was my fault. I shouldn't have let you face the danger alone."
Su Yinyin snorted, "You think a few nice words can make up for it?"
Her eyes were still filled with anger and distrust, and her lips were tightly pressed together, as if she was trying her best to suppress the turbulent waves in her heart.
Zhou Yuan smiled wryly, "I know I can't, but I will prove with my actions that I have no ill intentions towards you."
Su Yinyin sneered, "So what do you plan to do?"
Zhou Yuan looked at her earnestly, "I will help you find out the remaining injustices against the Su family and bring justice to your family."
Su Yinyin's heart skipped a beat, but she remained expressionless. "No need. I'll take care of my own revenge. I don't need you. You just need to mind your own business."
Zhou Yuan wanted to continue, "Yinyin...!"
Su Yinyin bluntly stated, "I don't want others to know that the Dowager Consort is Su Jianguo's biological mother. I don't want people to talk about the baby because of this."
Zhou Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then solemnly said, "Yinyin, I will handle this matter myself and will not let anyone know."
Su Yinyin gave him a cold look, turned around and boarded the carriage, leaving behind the words: "It had better be that way."
Su Yinyin drove away with Lao Liu and Lao Qi.
As Zhou Yuan watched the carriage disappear into the distance, he secretly vowed to win back Su Yinyin's heart.
He turned and mounted his horse, galloping back towards the city, the dust kicked up by his hooves a testament to his unwavering resolve.
Inside the carriage, Su Yinyin remained skeptical of Zhou Yuan's words. She knew that this matter was of great importance and that she could not easily trust anyone.
"Miss, can the Regent really be trusted?" the sixth brother asked from the side.
Su Yinyin pondered for a moment and said, "Let's see what he does for now. After all, the baby is still his son."
Su Yinyin hopes that Zhou Yuan and she will work together to protect the baby.
Although she knew her baby was strong-willed, this mother still wanted her child to grow up healthy and happy!
