Chapter 286 Su Yue's Predicament, Changing Her Mind
Su Yue, who colluded with the mysterious organization, did not get what she wanted. Instead, she was used as a pawn by the organization and fell into a predicament.
Su Yue had originally hoped to use the power of the mysterious organization to take revenge on the Marquis's mansion and thus live a life of wealth and luxury. However, she never expected that she was merely a pawn in the hands of the mysterious organization, and had now lost her usefulness.
To evade the Marquis's pursuit, the mysterious organization unhesitatingly pushed Su Yue forward. In an instant, Su Yue became the target of everyone's hatred; the Marquis's family loathed her, and the mysterious organization avoided her like the plague.
With nowhere to turn, Su Yue went into hiding. Her former arrogance had vanished, replaced by terror and despair. She had very little money left, barely enough to sustain herself.
In a dilapidated little inn, Su Yue huddled in a corner, her face haggard. She recalled her actions, her heart filled with remorse.
"How could I be so stupid as to believe the lies of the mysterious organization?" Su Yue muttered to herself.
Meanwhile, the people of the Marquis's mansion had begun searching for her whereabouts. Xiao Ling vowed to bring this traitor to justice and seek justice for the Marquis's mansion.
Su Yue knew that if she were caught by the Marquis's mansion, she would face severe punishment. Therefore, she decided to risk seeking out members of the mysterious organization with whom she had previously been in contact, hoping to obtain their help.
However, people avoided her as if she were a plague.
"Please, please, save me!" Su Yue pleaded desperately.
"Hmph, you're already a burden, don't come looking for us again." The other party rejected her ruthlessly.
In despair, Su Yue considered escaping again. She tried to leave the capital and live under an assumed name. However, the Marquis's household had spies everywhere, and every move she made was promptly detected.
During one of her escape attempts, Su Yue accidentally fell into the hands of a group of robbers. Seeing that she was alone, the robbers harbored evil intentions and wanted to rob her of her valuables.
Su Yue fought back desperately, but how could a weak woman like her possibly defeat these vicious bandits? Just when she thought she was about to die, the Marquis's men arrived in time and subdued the bandits.
"Su Yue, you've finally fallen into our hands," a guard from the Marquis's residence said coldly.
Su Yue's face turned ashen; she knew she could no longer escape.
After being brought back to the Marquis's residence, Su Yue was imprisoned in a dark room. Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu came to interrogate her personally.
"Speak, what other conspiracies does this mysterious organization have?" Xiao Ling glared at her.
Su Yue initially tried to hide it, but under Xiao Ling's authority and Su Jinxiu's persuasion, she finally broke down and confessed everything she knew.
With nowhere else to turn, Su Yue began to regret her betrayal and tried to seek forgiveness and help from Su Jinxiu and the Marquis's mansion.
Su Yue knew she had committed an unforgivable mistake, but her current predicament left her with no other choice. She mustered her courage and asked someone to deliver a letter to Su Jinxiu, earnestly expressing her remorse and hoping to gain Su Jinxiu's forgiveness and a meeting.
Upon receiving the letter, Su Jinxiu was filled with mixed emotions. She harbored deep resentment towards Su Yue for her betrayal, but seeing Su Yue's current state of destitution and regret, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. After discussing it with Xiao Ling, they decided to give Su Yue a chance to meet and hear what she had to say.
On the day of the meeting, Su Yue arrived at the agreed location early. Her face was haggard, and her eyes revealed endless exhaustion and regret. When she saw Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling appear, she knelt down with a thud and said, sobbing uncontrollably, "Sister, brother-in-law, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me."
Su Jinxiu looked at Su Yue in front of her and said coldly, "Do you know how much disaster your actions have brought to the Marquis's mansion?"
Su Yue kept kowtowing, crying as she said, "I was blinded by greed and misled by the mysterious organization, which is why I did such a stupid thing. I regret it deeply now and am willing to give everything to make up for my mistake."
Xiao Ling said from the side, "Do you think that a simple regret can make up for the sins you've committed?"
Su Yue raised her head, her eyes filled with despair: "I know I deserve to die, but I still want to beg you to give me a chance to do something for the Marquis's mansion, even if it means giving my life."
Su Jinxiu was silent for a moment, then said, "Get up first. We will consider your request, but you should know that it is not easy to get our forgiveness."
Su Yue was moved to tears. She stood up and said cautiously, "Thank you, sister. Thank you, brother-in-law. I will definitely prove my sincerity."
In the days that followed, Su Yue indeed seemed like a different person. She actively gathered intelligence on the mysterious organization for the Marquis's mansion, telling Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling everything she knew without reservation. She also used her past relationship with the mysterious organization to secretly sabotage some of their plans.
However, the others in the Marquis's residence did not believe Su Yue's transformation. They thought she was just acting, a means to escape punishment. Su Yue sensed their suspicion and hostility, but she did not give up. She knew that only through her actions could she prove her sincerity.
On one occasion, a mysterious organization planned to sabotage a key property of the Marquis's mansion. Upon receiving the news, Su Yue immediately notified Su Jinxiu. The Marquis's mansion had taken preventative measures and successfully thwarted the organization's plot. This incident slightly changed some people's opinions of Su Yue, but many remained wary of her.
As time went on, Su Yue became increasingly involved in the Marquis's mansion's fight against the mysterious organization. Her performance gradually gained recognition from more people, but Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling never completely let go of their grudges.
During a confrontation with a mysterious organization, Su Yue was seriously injured while protecting Su Jinxiu. Looking at the unconscious Su Yue, Su Jinxiu felt a complex mix of emotions. She knew that Su Yue genuinely wanted to make amends this time, but the past hurts weren't so easily forgotten.
When Su Yue woke up, she saw Su Jinxiu standing by her bedside, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Sister, you..."
Su Jinxiu said softly, "Just focus on recovering and don't think about anything."
This incident became a turning point in the easing of the relationship between Su Yue and Su Jinxiu. Afterwards, Su Jinxiu gradually began to accept Su Yue, while Su Yue became even more determined to serve the Marquis's mansion.
With Su Yue's help, the Marquis's mansion's attacks on the mysterious organization became increasingly effective. However, the mysterious organization also realized Su Yue's betrayal and launched a frenzied revenge against her.
