Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 164 Su Yue's Ambition

Despite being expelled from the Marquis's mansion, Su Yue did not give up. She colluded with some lawless individuals, attempting to regain control of the mansion with the help of external forces.

In a dark, damp, dilapidated temple, Su Yue sat with a group of people who looked rather sleazy.

"As long as you can help me reclaim the Marquis's mansion, you'll be well rewarded." Su Yue's eyes gleamed with madness and greed.

"Miss Su, please rest assured, we brothers will go through fire and water for you," said the leader, a burly man with a fierce face.

Su Yue gritted her teeth and continued, "I want Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling to suffer a terrible death!"

This group of outlaws began to roam the city, creating chaos and attempting to damage the reputation of the Marquis's residence.

"I've heard that the Marquis's mansion oppresses the people and commits all sorts of evil deeds."

"That's right, this is all the work of the Marquis's family."

Rumors spread rapidly, greatly diminishing the public's impression of the Marquis's mansion.

Inside the Marquis's residence, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling quickly noticed these unusual occurrences.

"There must be someone behind this," Xiao Ling said, frowning.

Su Jinxiu pondered for a moment: "Husband, I suspect that Su Yue is the culprit."

Xiao Ling snorted coldly: "This unrepentant woman."

They decided to send someone to investigate the matter.

However, Su Yue was very cunning; she always managed to evade the Marquis's investigation one step ahead.

"Damn it, she always gets away." The person in charge of the investigation said indignantly.

Meanwhile, Su Yue's actions became increasingly audacious. She began bribing officials to impeach the Marquis's family in court.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis's mansion has been committing atrocities in the city recently, causing widespread public resentment. They should be severely punished."

Upon hearing these impeachments, the emperor's dissatisfaction with the Marquis's mansion grew even stronger.

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling felt unprecedented pressure.

"We must find evidence against Su Yue as soon as possible and expose her conspiracy," Su Jinxiu said.

They sent out more people to gather intelligence from all directions.

Finally, one day, the people of the Marquis's mansion discovered a secret hideout of Su Yue and the criminals.

"Go quickly and inform the general and his wife."

Upon learning the news, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu immediately led their men to surround and annihilate the enemy.

When they arrived, Su Yue was plotting her next move with those criminals.

"Su Yue, your scheme will not succeed!" Xiao Ling shouted.

When Su Yue saw Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu, her face turned extremely ferocious.

"Don't be so smug, I won't let you get away with this!"

A fierce battle broke out.

Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu took the lead and fought a desperate battle with the enemy.

In the chaos, Su Yue tried to escape.

"Don't let her get away!" Su Jinxiu shouted.

Xiao Ling leaped forward, blocking Su Yue's path.

"You can't escape."

Su Yue struggled desperately, but was eventually subdued.

The Marquis's mansion successfully thwarted Su Yue's conspiracy; however, the incident also severely damaged the mansion's vitality.

"Although we've dealt with Su Yue this time, we can't let our guard down. We don't know how many enemies are still lurking in the shadows, eyeing the Marquis's residence," Su Jinxiu said worriedly.

Xiao Ling held her hand: "Madam, don't be afraid. As long as we are of one mind, the Marquis's mansion will surely overcome this difficulty."

But the matter did not end there, and the forces behind Su Yue gradually came to light.

It turns out that she was not only colluding with some lawless individuals, but also with a high-ranking and powerful minister in the imperial court.

This minister had always harbored resentment towards the Marquis's mansion and wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate it.

"What should we do? This has actually involved important officials of the imperial court."

"We must find a way to deal with this and not let them succeed."

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling are in trouble again.

How should they face this powerful enemy? What will become of the Marquis's mansion in the future?
